Chapter 48
Perla was on the verge of collapse.
It was not easy for Perla to send all the employees out. Just as she was about to get off work, Mark blocked her office and threw his phone on her desk. “Perla, I’ve done my best for you and your father. I’ll do whatever you want me to do. Now, you’re dismissing me just like that. If you don’t explain this to me clearly, I won’t let you walk out of this door today!”
Perla was shocked by Mark’s imposing manner.
She quickly took out her phone to call for help. Before she could turn on the screen, her phone was snatched away by Mark.
“Mr. Robinson, calm down!” Perla comforted Mark nervously. “I really don’t know about your dismissal. I don’t know why Kylie did this. I didn’t receive any notice in advance that she wanted to dismiss you. If I had known in advance, I would have stopped her…”
“Don’t lie to me! I finally understand now. This is your family’s scheme!” Mark did not listen to Perla’s explanation at all. He said fiercely, “I always thought that you and Kylie were not on good terms, and you and Cohen wanted to pull Kylie down. I was naive! You are a family. Of course, a family has to side with each other. You’re basically collaborating from both inside and outside to reform Galaxy Group!”
“Why would you think that way, Mr. Robinson? Kylie forcefully takes control of Galaxy Group. How could my father and I possibly support her? We genuinely want to drive her out of Galaxy Group and reclaim. everything that belongs to us…”
“Enough!” Mark interrupted Perla loudly. “I’ve been observing your relationship with Kylie for a long time. I should have suspected that you were in cahoots! Kylie asked you to go to the office alone several times. and even asked you to keep it a secret. You must be talking about the change in personnel! Also, Felix and Robert didn’t resign voluntarily at all. They were forced away by Cohen. Those two people are Cohen’s trusted aides. Cohen actually pressured them to resign like this! I’ve finally seen through the nature of your family!”
“Mr. Robinson, you’ve really misunderstood. This was all set up by Kylie. She was the one who wanted you to misunderstand my father and me…
“Misunderstand you?” Mark sneered. “Then why would she appoint you as the CEO and let you personally manage production? She knows how crucial production is right now. If she didn’t genuinely trust you, how could she entrust you with such a responsibility? Moreover, Kylie is only twenty–five years old. Without Cohen’s guidance and strategy behind her, could she have this level of shrewdness?”
“We didn’t expect her to play such a big game either!” At the mention of it, Perla was also furious.
Kylie appointed Perla as the CEO, causing people to misunderstand that they had a good relationship. She lied that Perla was the one who completed the design of Galaxy Group Apparel, forcing Cohen to fire Felix and Robert. Kylie then handed the heavy responsibility of production to Perla. Every step was perfect, and Kylie’s goal was achieved without anyone noticing.

The goal was to sow discord between Cohen and the higher–ups, to make them feel that Cohen was unreliable, and to make these higher–ups feel pressured by the change in personnel. This would force these higher–ups to follow in Galaxy Group’s footsteps!
Perla even expected that after this, no one would listen to her and Cohen. Galaxy Group would really fall into Kylie’s hands. Kylie would enjoy absolute control over Galaxy Group.
What Perla couldn’t accept the most was that she and Cohen were the ones bearing the consequences of this matter. Kylie stood alone and remained unaffected by any influence.
our excuses anymore! I’ll “Perla, I don’t want to listen to
u this today. If you don’t let me return to the position of HR department director, even if it’s a lose–lose situation, I won’t let you and Cohen have an easy time!”
At that, Mark slammed the door and left.
Perla was so angry that her body was trembling.
Ever since Perla was young, she had always been the one bullying Kylie. Kylie had never had a chance to bully her.
Perla was determined to repay today’s grievances with interest.
The change in Galaxy Group’s personnel caused a small commotion in the corporate circle. Of course, Galaxy Group was not a big company. Occasional minor disturbances were not worthy of attention by major enterprises.
At the private hospital in the city center, Derick reported on Galaxy Group’s recent situation. After he finished speaking, he could not help but praise Kylie from the bottom of his heart. “Miss Stafford’s game is indeed perfect. When she went to Galaxy Group alone, I was always worried that she would be chased out. However, I never expected that she would completely take control of Galaxy Group in just a short three or four months.”
As Ethan listened, it was not difficult to see the joy on her calm face.
“Internally, Mark is spreading negative news about Cohen everywhere, such as ungratefulness, insidiousness, and so on. Felix and Robert are echoing him. Cohen’s reputation has plummeted, and these matters have somewhat affected the Stafford Group’s stock market. Importantly, no one in Galaxy Group believes in Cohen anymore. If they want to keep their jobs and continue working at Galaxy Group, they can only be loyal to Miss Stafford.”
Ethan drank his coffee slowly and enjoyed listening to the admiration in Derick’s words.
“The only thing currently bothering Miss Stafford is perhaps the presence of Perla still at Galaxy Group, which could cause some trouble. However, Perla is far from being Miss Stafford’s match. I believe that if there were to be any conflict between the two, it wouldn’t be Miss Stafford who suffers.” Derick expressed considerable confidence in Kylie. “In addition, Miss Stafford has been personally supervising the clothing production for the next quarter at Galaxy Group these days. The deadline is tight, and there is no room for error. She mentioned she might not be able to come every day, but on the day you are discharged, she

promised to come and pick you up.”
The smile on Ethan’s face instantly disappeared.
Derick could not help but snicker.
Ethan was too clingy.

Derick suddenly felt that Ethan seemed unwilling to leave Kylie’s side at all.
“When can I be discharged?” Ethan asked.
“If nothing goes wrong, three to five days.”
“Three days, Ethan said firmly. “I have to be discharged in three days at most.”
“Yes,” Derick replied respectfully.

Whoever dared to stop Ethan from seeing Kylie now would have to be tired of living.
Kylie looked up at the office clock. It was already past 10 p.m.
Previously, Kylie had appointed Perla to supervise the production just to put on an act. Of course, she had to be personally responsible for such an important matter.
Not only would Kylie ask about the progress every day, but she would also try her best to go to the factory to understand the situation at the scene. After all the delays, there was absolutely no room for error now.
Kylie had promised Ethan that she would visit him every day, but with everything going on, it seemed she hadn’t been to the hospital for three days now.
Kylie thought that many things had gone smoothly and that she could get off work early today, but in the end, it was delayed until now.
Now, what was Ethan doing?
Kylie hesitated and sent a WhatsApp message. [Are you asleep?]
