Chapter 12: A Daylight Robbery
Steve slapped himself and said, "It's my fault for not recognizing you. I shouldn't have disrespected you because of Ms. Kate!"
"Ms. Kate? She's the famous charitable princess in Easthan. How can you compare her to someone like me?" Chantelle replied.
Steve's face went pale.
All he cared about now was keeping his job. "Chairman! I made a mistake! Ms. Kate is no longer the charitable princess. I shouldn't have been protecting her. But I couldn't offend her because she has the Wilson and Bently families backing her!"
Kate didn't expect Steve to turn against her. She shouted angrily, "Steve, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Steve didn't dare to look at Kate's side. "I'm not talking nonsense. Ms. Kate, please don't put me in a tough situation. The chairman knows everything you've done. And our committee looked into what the Bently family did for you. I can't help you."
"Shut up, Steve! I'll tear your mouth off if you say one more word!" Kate threatened him.
Steve fell silent. He couldn't afford to offend either of them.
Kate was furious. She never imagined the committee would find out about her actions. If her wrongdoings were exposed, everything she had worked for would be ruined.
It would also make Daniel hate her for all the fake charity work she had done in the past.
The thought of that made her feel weak. She could no longer stand tall as her knees were shaking.
