?Chapter 1458:


    Rumors


    Whether Kallie highlighted problems or offered solutions, her insights were always sharp and thoughtful. More importantly, the reward system was well-structured and generous, offering substantial incentives. This was intended to inspire every employee to give their best effort, knowing their hard work would be rewarded. Some people were already fired up, eager to jump in and get to work immediately.


    The man sat stiffly, observing the shift in the situation. He coughed twice, interrupting Kallie, and then sneered at her. “I’ve seen this document on Jake’s desk before. He nned all of this a long time ago. You’re just the mouthpiece, reading it out loud. The credit belongs to Jake. Who do you think you are?” Pausing, he nced around the room. “You’re all fools if you actually believe she orchestrated these ns.”


    No one echoed the man’s sentiments, but a few cast skeptical nces at Kallie.


    Most, however, didn’t care who devised the n as long as it could be carried out.


    Jake’s assistant couldn’t stay silent any longer. “That’s nonsense! Since when did you have the authority to enter Mr. Reeves’ office? I saw it with my own eyes. Mrs. Reeves was the one who came up with these ns.”


    Even Jake’s assistant stepped in to defend Kallie, adding to her credibility.


    The man’s face flushed with embarrassment, and his sharp, spiteful gaze darted between Kallie and the assistant. Abruptly, he said to the assistant with a sly grin, “Why are you so desperate to defend her? Your loyalty lies with Jake, not her. Jake’s credit is being stolen, yet you’re not only unfazed but also standing up for her.”


    Shifting his gaze to Kallie, his grin widened. “But then again, I’ve heard Jake’s been quite busytely. You must be feeling lonely at home with the kids. You seem pretty close to his assistant. Aren’t you afraid Jake might find out? Well, this might exin how you know so much about Jake’s ns. It appears he’s got a mole right by his side.”


    The assistant, a polished young man with delicate features, had the aura of a recent graduate. But his position as Jake’s assistant meant he had exceptional abilities that set him apart. He adjusted his sses and responded coldly, “Mr. Moreno, your words are defamatory. If you don’t stop, I’ll take legal action, and we can settle this in court.”


    The assistant’s warning made Benjamin Moreno’s expression shift. Heughed awkwardly and said, “Rx, I was just joking. Can’t we even joke around anymore? You’re overreacting, almost like there’s some truth to it.”


    The assistant was stunned by Benjamin’s shamelessness, his jaw tightening. “You…”


    ??????? ???????? ??h??ρt?rs ???? g??l??ov?ls.??0??


    Kallie lifted her hand, signaling the assistant to stand down. She had already said everything she needed to in today’s meeting. Since Benjamin was clearly looking for trouble, she had no intention of stopping him. Kallie smiled and approached Benjamin. He stiffened, sensing danger. He tried to scramble to his feet to run away, but he was toote.


    Suddenly overwhelmed by a sense of suffocation, he turned around and realized someone had grabbed his cor.


    The firm grip on his cor belonged to Jake, who had just rushed in. The moment Benjamin spotted Jake, panic melted into desperation. He acted as though he had just found his savior, breaking down in bitter sobs. “Mr. Reeves! Thank God you’re back! Your woman’s been throwing her weight around and using your power to get rid of me! You need to teach her a lesson!”
