Chapter 77\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s take wedding photos on that cruise ship,\u201d Silas said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany said nothing in response for a while.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCruise ship?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas smiled faintly. \u201cThe voucher you gave me last time. We might as well put them to use. We can travel and get the wedding photos done.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany couldn\u2019t tell which of Silas\u2018 words were true and which were false. But they needed to take wedding photos eventually.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana stormed into Elysian the next day. She couldn\u2019t just let things slide when Bethany refused to see her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Antonio looked at his sister as if she were his savior. \u201cDiana, your daughter\u2019s been way too aggressive lately.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana frowned. \u201cWhat has she done now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s replaced a bunch of veteran employees since joining the company. Now, a lot of staff members are upset. Who knows who her next target will be!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana pressed her lips together. \u201cCall her. Tell her to come here immediately.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Antonio\u2019s face lit up, knowing his sister was about to put his niece in her place. He coughed and pretended to mediate the two. \u201cDon\u2019t be too hard on Beth. She\u2019s still young-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana took a deep breath. \u201cIf she\u2019s so young, why didn\u2019t you stop her from causing chaos around here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Antonio choked on his words and said nothing more. He simply called Bethany on the internal line and told her to come over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Bethany pushed the door open, she paused. \u201cDid you need something?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The polite but distant tone seemed aimed at both of them, but Diana felt like her daughter was mocking her alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana furrowed her brow, her face stern. \u201cBeth, I didn\u2019t put you in charge of this company for you to run wild. Are you playing house by firing employees at will?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany glanced at Diana coolly. \u201cIn what capacity are you lecturing me, Ms. Reeves?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana bristled. \u201cWhat? I\u2019m your mother. Can\u2019t I say a few words to you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany smiled faintly. \u201cIt seems Uncle Antonio didn\u2019t tell you why I fired those employees.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe head of security was negligent and allowed the media to barge into a guest\u2019s hotel room to ambush them. Should he not have been replaced?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe procurement supervisor was caught substituting substandard products. Should he not have been fired?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd most recently, the operations supervisor, Yvonne.\u201d Bethany\u2019s lips curved upward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was suspected of trying to seduce a client, which led to the client\u2019s wife making a scene at our office. That created extremely negative publicity for the company. Yet we still offered her the standard severance required by labor law. Wasn\u2019t that generous enough?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf Elysian hires people from top to bottom based on connections and favors, it will destroy this company!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She fixed her gaze on Diana. \u201cSo, I\u2019m asking you, Ms. Reeves, who exactly is playing house here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Being confronted like this by her daughter in front of her own brother humiliated Diana. Her chest tightened painfully, and she raised her hand and slapped Bethany across the face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Both Antonio and Bethany froze. Antonio hadn\u2019t expected his sister to get so worked up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany\u2019s ears rang, and the sting settled into a dull throb. She swept aside the hair that had fallen across her face and smiled lightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Watching on, Antonio swallowed. He hadn\u2019t expected his niece to still be able to smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany\u2019s eyes were cold and clear as she looked at Diana. \u201cWhat\u2019s this? Can\u2019t win an argument, so you resort to violence?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI call you Ms. Reeves out of respect. But right now, I\u2019m the majority shareholder of this hotel. How I run it is my business. Besides, this was my father\u2019s legacy to me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAll these years, you\u2019ve only been managing it on my behalf. Did managing it temporarily make you think you actually owned the place?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany stopped looking at her and turned to Antonio instead. \u201cUncle, if you\u2019re unhappy about something, tell me directly. Don\u2019t use her to pressure me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter all, she has no power over me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She glanced coldly at Diana\u2019s face and called security right in front of them both. \u201cPlease come to Mr. Reeves\u2019s office and escort the guest out. Someone\u2019s causing a disturbance here. Handle it accordingly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana, who\u2019d felt a twinge of guilt seeing her daughter\u2019s swollen face, was now completely enraged.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBethany, do you even consider me your mother anymore? You\u2019re actually trying to throw me out?\u201d Bethany gave her an indifferent look. \u201cThe day I blocked you, you stopped being my mother.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
