NovelEnglishChapter 1114 The Confrontation "Boss, Ms. Wright from the CEO's office was looking for you earlier," the subordinate reported to Cecilia "She wants you to stop by the CEO's office once you're here." Cecilia was just about to head over when one of her subordinates spoke up. "I heard that Mdm. Queenie is here. Seems like she's here to cause you strouble." Queenie? Nodding, Cecilia responded, “Alright, thank you." She first made a quick trip to the restroom, followed by a phone call. Afterward, she took the elevator to the CEO's office.
Outside the office, several secretaries looked at Cecilia nosily.
Jocelyn approached her, cautioning, "It seems Mdm. Queenie is quite upset right now, apparently over something to do with her youngest daughter." Cecilia hadn't expected Jocelyn to give her a heads up. She looked at her gratefully before knocking on the CEO's office door.
"Cin." Nicholas' voice echoed from within.
When Cecilia pushed the door open, she saw Nicholas seated at the head of the table, with Queenie and her daughters occupying the couch.

Queenie assumed that her daughter was being bullied by Cecilia, which explained her fearful reaction.
"It's already ten o'clock, Mr. Rainsworth. Your staff sure do have a lot of freedom with their work hours," Queenie said with a hint of sarcasm.
Nicholas glanced at Cecilia before replying, "Ms. Smith is not like the other employees. She usually only works for three to four hours a day." "People with connections are indeed different. However, when it comes to business, we, the Jamieson family, are certainly not pushovers." Queenie stood up, pulling out a stack of documents. "Up to now, this is the trash our collaboration has produced." She tossed the documents at Nicholas.
Turning back, she pointed at Cecilia. "Nicholas, is it because you look down on us, the Jamieson family, or is it due to a special relationship with someone? How could she, a mere department manager, be in charge of our cooperation? She hasn't even been working at Orion Corporation for a full year yet." After hearing what was said, Cecilia couldn't help but speak up.
"Mdm. Queenie, firstly, Ms. Evans specifically requested that I be in charge Secondly, do you judge a person's ability to handle work based on their years of service? If that's the case, wouldn't the employees who've been working on the assembly line for decades be better suited for this job?" Queenie's face turned ashen from the backlash she received from Cecilia.
She chuckled first. "No wonder my two daughters are no match for you. You certainly have a way with words." She gradually made her way closer to Cecilia.
Before Cecilia could even react, a hand was raised, and a slap fell on her cheek, one that was too fast for her to avoid.
Cecilia's cheeks flushed hot, causing the hearing aid she was wearing to fall off.
Her right ear was buzzing at that moment.
Nicholas immediately rose to his feet. "Mdm. Queenie Queenie certainly wasn't going to back down on his account. She looked down at Cecilia, who was bending down to pick up her hearing aid, and stated, "I warned you long ago about who you can mess with and who you can't."
Cecilia, clutching her belly, picked up the hearing aid, stood up, and looked up at Queenie. Her icy gaze sent a chill through Queenie's heart.

Cecilia responded emphatically, "I'll remember this slap." She knew she was no match for the Jamieson family currently.
With Nathaniel absent, it was easy for Queenie to deal with her.
She didn't care much about herself, but the fact remained that she had two children and was carrying another two in her belly. They were all where her vulnerabilities lay. Meanwhile, Queenie hadn't expected Cecilia to dare threaten her.
She gave a slight laugh. "Alright, I'll be waiting. However, before that, you owe my two daughters an immediate apology. They are your clients, not your employees to be ordered around at your whim," Queenie asserted.
