Just like the medical report Hugh had set aside, his outburst was temporarily away.

Meanwhile, Serena finally shook off her exhaustion and fear after resting at the hospital for two nights. She took a car straight to Jansen Group.
She had just arrived on her floor when she overheard two employees chatting in the break area.
"I heard the new deputy director is rted to the Jansen family. And she just got out of detention. She''s just a useless pretty face Amber Group has kicked out, and now she''s here pretending she can run the marketing department? Does she think this job is that easy?"
Hearing this, Natalie exined to Serena, "Yesterday, Shania got out of prison and went straight to Mr. Jansen''s office. The next thing we knew, she was filling the deputy director position in the marketing department."
"As expected." Serena calmly withdrew her gaze.
Shania was Howard''s cousin. He had entrusted her with key roles multiple times,rgely because her mother had helped him a lot when they were young. They were more like siblings than cousins.
Howard had been stuffing Jansen Group with his connections for years. Bringing Shania in was only a matter of time.
Serena didn''t n on bothering with it. But the moment she returned to her office, she was greeted by several project team members clutching their folders and crying.
"You''re finally back, Serena! Two of our projects are about to go live, and marketing suddenly wants to change the strategy and dy theunch! How are we supposed to exin that to the clients?"
"Yeah! And the budget we agreed on? They went back on it today! They argued with the clients in the meeting room so badly that the clients walked out!"
"And look at this! This marketing n was clearly put together by an intern!"
Serena''s expression darkened. She hadn''t even gone after Shania for leeching off Amber Group. Yet Shania had pulled a stunt at Jansen Group and wasing straight for her.
All these projects had her signature on them. If anything went wrong, she would definitely be implicated.
"Where''s Shania?" she asked coldly.
The employees quickly led the way.
A group of them stormed into the marketing department, only to find Shania sitting leisurely in her office, painting her nails. Her desk was covered in cosmetics and supplements, as if she were lounging at her own house.
She met Serena''s icy stare without a hint of fear. Instead, she smiled smugly.
"Well, what brings you here to my humble office, the heiress of the Jansen family?"
"If you know this is just a humble office, then stop acting like you''re some big shot."
Serena threw the documents on her desk.
"If the marketing team''s strategy isn''tpleted on time, the project team won''t be able to move forward. The lost clients will be on you."
Hearing this, Shania raised an eyebrow and swept the papers off her desk onto the floor.
"We simply can''t provide it. You project people are all the same. Aren''t you all supposed to work overtime, schmooze clients, and use your bodies to get deals?
"Us in the marketing department rely on our brains. If the brain can''t keep up, we need a rest. You all can just wait!"
Serena''s team was furious, ready to start a fight. But before anyone could move, Serena held them back.
"Suit yourself, Aunt Shania," she said coolly. With that, she turned and left with her team.
Shania let out a mockingugh behind her.
"Weren''t you acting all high and mighty just now? And yet, all it took was a few words to send you scurrying away. If you can''t get your projects done, you''re the ones who''ll be out of a job first!"
Serena''s team was still fuming by the time they got into the elevator.
"Serena, if those projects really fail and the higher-ups me us..."
Serena stared at the closed elevator doors and said calmly, "Let them be. The entire Jansen Group leadership is made up of my dad''s rtives. Once they start investigating, Shania won''t get away with this."
There were plenty of people in thispany with more power than Shania.
