Upon hearing this, Gwen's eyes widened. “Ariana! What do you mean by that?”
Everyone turned to look at Ariana.
Seeing this, John stepped forward and said, “Ms. Torrey, you're still young. Mrs. Torrey is only trying to look out
for the company’s best interests.”
Before John could finish, Ariana cut him off. “Mr. Wagner, of all people in this room, you're the last one who
should be defending her.”
“Ms. Torrey, what... What do you mean by that?” John asked, clearly confused.
Ariana smiled coldly. “I understand that family matters should remain private, and | had originally intended to
tolerate this for Ms. Lambert's sake. But you've all becso shameless, taking advantage of my patience. And
now, you have the audacity to demand the company from me?”

“Ariana! You're going too far!” Gwen protested, but Ariana merely gave Anna a subtle look.
Anna tapped a few keys on the computer, and the office surveillance footage appeared on the screen.
The footage revealed John and Gwen in the midst of a passionate, secret affair at the office desk.
Everyone in the room was visibly shocked.
Many of the employees present had been loyal to Carson, and seeing the widow of their former boss behave so
inappropriately with another man, their faces reflected expressions of disgust.
The affair between Gwen and John had been an open secret within the company for stime.
While most employees were aware of it, the higher-ups had remained in the dark.
Gwen's face went pale as she watched the video. Pointing at Ariana, she could barely form a coherent sentence.
You... You!”
“Actions have consequences, Ms. Lambert. My father never did anything to wrong you. If you wanted a divorce
and to stop being Mrs. Torrey, all you had to do was ask. There was no need for this despicable behavior.”
Ariana’s voice was cold.
Gwen's face turned ashen, and John was so terrified that he nearly crumpled to his knees. “Ms. Torrey! Ms.
Torrey, it was just a momentary lapse in judgment! A brief mistake!”
“A momentary lapse? Your scandal has already becan open secret in the company. I've turned a blind eye
until now, out of respect for the past, but Ms. Lambert, you are no longer fit to manage this company.”
Turning to the shareholders and executives gathered around, Ariana asked, “What do the rest of you think?”
One of the directors, a close friend of Carson, took a deep breath before speaking. “Mrs. Torrey, | believe it's best
for you to step down from managing the company.”
“Since the company belongs to Ms. Torrey, Mrs. Torrey has no right to interfere!”
“Exactly! Not only should Mrs. Torrey step down, but Mr. Wagner should be fired as well!”
The room erupted in a chorus of disapproval.

Ariana had already received the answer she needed. She turned to John, who was on the verge of collapsing, and
said, “Mr. Wagner, this is the consensus. | expect your resignation letter on my desk by tomorrow morning. If we

were to proceed with your termination, it wouldn't be in your best interest for future job prospects, would it?”
John’s face turned pale.
Just then a woman stormed into the room.
Without warning, she grabbed Gwen by the hair and screamed, “You're the one who seduced my husband! You
shameless bitch! | won't let you get away with this!”
Seeing this, John was startled and rushed forward, urgently pleading, “Honey! Honey, please, let go!
