Zayn couldn't help but chuckle at the mention of the three directors, wondering what the young female director was hoping to achieve by bringing up the case.

The woman's expression remained unchanged as she responded, "I have no personal vendetta against you or anyone else. But as an Operational Director of this company, it is my duty to ensure that we have competent replacements for those who have been removed from their positions."
