Bonnie was shocked, too.
After a while, she bit her lip. “Here I thought that a powerful person like President Morrison would have a family that’s well-mannered and cultured. Who knew
Adrian looked at least so-years-old, but just because his son got together with Bethan, he came and slapped her?
“More like a shrew…”
Bonnie’s words struck Shannon’s nerves. “Who are you calling, uncultured and a shrew?! Bonnie, this has nothing to do with you. How dare you insult President Morrison’s family! “
“President Morrison’s family can’t be insulted, but other people can? “
Bethan coldly lifted her head and placed herself in front of Bonnie.
She sharply glared at Adrian. “Mr. Morrison, you must’ve gone to look for Brettley just now, didn’t you? If I’m not wrong, you must’ve been talking about this to him, but Brettley didn’t heed your words and suggestions, so you came here, angrily looking for me and slapped me.”
Bethan glared at him. Her tone was as cold as her gaze. “You’re dissatisfied with me, but since you can’t persuade your own son, you could only take it out on me, huh?”
Adrian’s expressions were rather ugly because he was exposed.
“Well, it’s all because you are shameless ! “
Shannon swept a condescending glance at Bethan. “If you knew your place and didn’t seduce Brettley, Uncle wouldn’t have gotten angry with you! “
“Is that so?”
Bethan smiled coldly.
She glanced at Courtney, who secretly stood by the entrance and watched the commotion. “If I ‘in not mistaken, she has seduced Brettley before as well, didn’t she?”
Then, Bethan looked at Shannon. “You, too. You must’ve thought of Brettley, too. If Mr. Morrison was to slap every woman who has ever seduced Brettley, then I’ll admit it: I deserved to be slapped. All of them failed, so they could escape the slap. Just because I succeeded, I deserved to be slapped?”
Adrian’s expressions got even uglier.
Shannon bit her lip. She looked at Adrian, then Bethan. “No matter what, you just have to apologize to my uncle! Otherwise… Otherwise, I’ll make you work much harder! I’111et you amend all the design sketches! Don’t forget that you’re only an apprentice. I have the right to make you do all this work! “
Bethan shrugged. “Fine by me.”
“Hold on! “
Suddenly, Adrian furrowed his brows, turned, and looked at Shannon. “W–What did you say her job was?”
Shannon pouted. “An apprentice. A person like her who has no art background and knows nothing about design only made her way in because of her looks. It’s only fair that she’s stuck as an apprentice.”
“Nonsense! “
Adrian glared at Shannon. “You treat her as an apprentice? Are you nuts?”
Bethan was a world-renowned jewelry designer!
A designer like her, yet Shannon claimed she had no art background nor not knowing anything about design.
If such news were to spread, the entire Morrison Group would be the joke of the town!
Even if Adrian was angry Bethan took Hailey’s position, that was a private matter. Designing was a whole other matter!
At that thought, Adrian looked at Shannon. “You’re the Design Director, aren’t you?”
Shannon’s smile was plastered on her face as she looked at Adrian in a daze. “Yes, Uncle. Why?” “Give her your place! “
Shannon was infuriated. “Uncle, you’re joking right?”
Why should she give up the Design Director position to this b*tch? Adrian should be on her side. He hated Bethan as well, but why did he not only not fire or demote her, but he promoted her instead?
Who is the crazier one?
“I’m not joking.”
Adrian calmly looked at Shannon. “
Give her your place.”
Work is work, it has nothing to do with private matters.
Even if he were to demote or fire Bethan, it would not affect Bethan and Brettley’s relationship too much.
On the contrary, the Morrison Group would have lost a world-renowned designer.
Moreover, it was Adrian himself who got Bethan to work for the Morrison Group. It was hard for him to take back his words at that moment.
The best solution was to let Bethan work for the Morrison Group while cutting down her interest in Brettley!
At that thought, Adrian turned to look at Shannon once more. “You’re unwilling to do so?”
“Of course, I’m unwilling! “
Shannon panicked. She immediately stood in between Adrian and Bethan. “
Uncle, I climbed up to this position with my own abilities! What skills does Bethan have? She only got in thanks to her relationship with President Morrison! She only deserves to be an assistant or an apprentice. “
“Is that so?”
Bethan was finally amused by Shannon’s arrogance and she burst out laughing.
“Of course! “
Seeing Bethan talking, Shannon harrumphed coldly. “Is that not so? You only got in because of your connections! You’re nothing but trash! “
Bethan was Brettley’s woman at that moment. If she could come up with good jewelry designs, Brettley would not let her only be a Designer Assistant!
No one who relied on connections to get a job would want to settle for a lower position.
If Bethan could so happily accept her place as a Designer Assistant, did that not show that she knew nothing?
“You, shut up! “
Adrian furrowed his brows and reprimanded Shannon. “Don’t talk if you don’t know what you’re talking about! Give her your place! Bethan will be the Design Director! You become the Designer Assistant! “
Granny Morrison has truly spoiled her distant relatives! “I won’t agree to it!”
Shannon gritted her teeth hard. She raised her head and looked at Adrian unwillingly. “If you want Bethan to take over my position, sure. If she can come up with a design that can compete with mine, I would be more than happy! If she can’t, I’ll make her amend all the wrong design sketches! “
“What if she could? “
Suddenly, a low man’s voice rang through the corridors.
Shannon was stunned. She subconsciously turned to look over.
A tall figure in a black suit was casually leaning by the door. He was looking at her rather coldly.
“President Morrison! “
Shannon paused for a while. After a moment, she pursed her lips. “If Bethan could do it, I’111et her take my position as the Design Director! “
“Then you’ll be the Designer Assistant and amend all the wrong design sketches, yes?”
Bonnie immediately chimed in.
Shannon’s face turned pale. She turned around and glared at Bonnie. “This has nothing to do with you! “
“I think it’s a great idea.”
Bethan shrugged. She nonchalantly grabbed a sketch board and a pen.
“What should I sketch?”
Then, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Brettley. “Do you remember the design proposal that I brought over to President Morrison yesterday morning? The one that Shannon has already amended four times but still could not get it approved? Why don’t I design one with my own ideas according to the requirements of that design?”
Then, Bethan lowered her gaze and swiftly started sketching.
Adrian was somewhat excited. He immediately stood up and went behind Bethan, looking at her work.
Shannon and the other colleagues were in disdain initially.
