"But the fact that Charlotte Thompson plagiarized has already been irrefutably established!"
"Even if you want to defend her, you should prioritize the company above all else. Set aside personal feelings for now!"
"Mr. Battleson, you wouldn’t want to see the company you built from the ground up end up destroyed in soone else’s hands, would you?"
Justin Battleson finally reacted at this mont—his brows slightly lifted—and then spoke in a deep voice:
"I think Mr. Robbins makes a valid point."
Initially, many expected Justin Battleson to strongly defend Charlotte Thompson, but after hearing Justin’s words, George Robbins couldn’t help but let out a scoffing laugh internally.
Everyone thought his relationship with Charlotte was so robust—but now it seems it’s nothing more than that.
"Since the root of the issue needs addressing, it’s naturally necessary to let so people go."
Justin nodded slightly and continued, "Then let’s fire that designer—Florienna Ellis—imdiately."
Justin’s statent stunned everyone present.
"Mr. Battleson, what do you an by this? Why fire Florienna Ellis?"
George Robbins blinked in disbelief and stared at Justin Battleson directly.
More than either surprise or confusion, a deep suspicion surfaced within George’s gaze.
"Wasn’t it you, Mr. Robbins, who suggested resolving issues at their root? And weren’t these problems all triggered by Florienna Ellis?"
"Mr. Battleson, Florienna is the ultimate victim here! Firing her now—it’s an absurdly outrageous decision."
At this mont, George Robbins was cursing Justin Battleson’s stupidity relentlessly in his heart.
Even now, Justin keeps putting on a pretense of calm—utterly laughable!
"When the truth hasn’t yet fully co to light, Mr. Robbins, are you so certain Florienna is the victim?"
Justin responded in a neutral tone, and for the first ti, ripples of shock erged on George’s face.
However, George quickly recomposed himself and said to Justin:
"Mr. Battleson, all the evidence points to Charlotte Thompson being the true plagiarist! She has caused such enormous damage to our company—yet you’re still trying to protect a plagiarist. Such an action will leave all of us deeply disappointed."
While speaking, George let out a demonstrative sigh of disappointnt, the gesture clearly visible to all, causing dissatisfaction to ripple across the faces of other board mbers.
Yet there were still a few among the attendees who chose to side with Justin Battleson. And in response to George’s remarks, they began to defend Justin.
"Mr. Robbins, I believe this matter requires further deliberation. Moreover, we should wait for Charlotte Thompson to provide a response."
"Wait for Charlotte’s response? Do you think our company still has the ti or bandwidth to wait?" George bellowed emotionally, almost gesturing wildly in agitation.
After silencing his opponent through sheer intensity, George redirected his gaze toward Justin once again.
"Mr. Battleson, if you truly insist on refusing to fire Charlotte Thompson and continue shielding her..."
George paused briefly, his eyes scanning the faces of others before finally settling squarely on Justin’s face.
Before George could finish his sentence, another person abruptly stood up and spoke first:
"Mr. Battleson, while you’re the company’s president, certain decisions—if handled unfairly—may result in dissatisfaction from all of us."
