Chapter 2258Aubrey found herself momentarily speechless, her lips trembling.
Darcie fixed her gaze on Stella. "Stella, are you sure about checking the surveillance? If Sonia's the one responsible for thedamage, how do you intend to handle it?"
"We should get the police involved," Stella retorted. "If Sonia's behind the breakage of this expensive item, shouldn't we let theauthorities assess the situation?”
Darcie's expression darkened.
Jaylene couldn't contain herself. "Stella, you were the one who insisted on bringing Sonia in, and it was only because of that mymom agreed. Now that she's caused trouble, are you just going to shift all the blame onto her without taking any responsibilityyourself?"
Stella fell silent fora moment. "Jaylene, some matters are better dealt with behind closed doors among family members. Why airit out here?"
Thinking Stella was backing down, Jaylene persisted, growing bolder. "The S-type essential oil was destroyed; it affects theentire company’s interests. Shouldn't we be transparent about it? Why keep it under wraps?”
Stella lifted her gaze. "If you want to discuss it here, that's fine. You keep insisting | take responsibility because | brought Soniain. She made a mistake, so | should bear some responsibility. But let me ask you, when your past mistakes nearly cost USGrace's account, where was the accountability from Ms. Arnold, who vouched for you to join the company? You, the one whomade the mistake, are still here; aren't you vouched in by her? Why don't you mention a word about that?"
Jaylene looked ashamed. "I'm not like Sonia. Caline is our family's company; what's wrong with me working here? Aren't youworking here too?
Stella appeared indifferent. "That's where you're wrong. I'm not like you. My mother is the founder of Caline, and | hold 53% ofCaline's shares. I'm the largest shareholder of Caline, so working in my own company is reasonable."
Darcie hadn't intended to intervene initially, silently acknowledging Jaylene's point. But she didn't expect Stella to bring this up.After feigning silence for a while, she finally spoke up. "Stella, let's just check the surveillance. There's no need to create a scenein front of outsiders."
Stella refused. "Ms. Arnold, earlier when | suggested discussing this privately, Ms. Saun objected, and you didn't oppose. Now, |want to make things clear, so | hope you won't interfere."
Darcie's face turned slightly red, about to say something, but Stella cut her off.
Stella thought to herself, "You wanted to play dumb, didn't you? Then keep pretending!"
