Chapter 1829 The Black Sheep
"I get what you mean now!" Bella's face lit up like a radiant sunrise, and her cheeks flushed with
excitement. Her genuine smile reflected the newfound enthusiasm that had ignited within her.
With determination in her voice, she declared, "In three months, I will establish a firm footing in this
position and prove to you and the board of directors that your choice was right."
After her bold statement, Bella gracefully rose from her chair and bowed to Elisa, expressing her
gratitude and respect.
Elisa watched Bella's departure with a satisfied smile, reaffirming her confidence in the young woman's
capabilities.
While the atmosphere around the office was filled with the excitement of Bella's promotion, there was
one person whose mood was tainted by bitterness and defeat.

Rochelle returned to her office, feeling humiliated and defeated as she began to pack her belongings.
She would choose not to pack her things if she could turn back time. The humiliation she had endured
was immeasurable.
The leaking of the meeting's contents had left Rochelle suspicious, wondering if Elisa might have
orchestrated it. Still, she couldn't deny the reality before her. All her belongings were carelessly tossed
into a shabby cardboard box, placed right outside the office door as if they were eager to see her gone.
But that wasn't the end of her ordeal.
As Rochelle walked out with the box, her colleagues couldn't hide their contempt, and their disdainful
glances pierced her already wounded spirit. To add to her misery, someone purposely bumped into her,
causing scalding hot coffee to spill all over her body. The searing liquid left her skin red and irritated,
tarnishing the carefully prepared appearance she had maintained in the past. Once a prominent figure

in the company, she quickly became the black sheep, the outcast of the workplace.
Rochelle had never experienced such treatment before. Her body trembled with barely suppressed
rage, on the verge of exploding.
However, Bella, now in her newly appointed managerial position, quickly intervened to end the
escalating conflict.
As Bella emerged from Elisa's office and witnessed the scene, she paused momentarily, her sharp
mind working to grasp the unfolding situation.
Despite her humiliation, Rochelle seemed to have regained some courage, tilting her head defiantly as
she lashed out, "These people are just opportunists. They treat me like this now and might treat you
the same way in the future. I haven't even officially resigned, and they are already so eager. Bella, can't
you control your subordinates and have them behave?"
Despite her downfall, Rochelle's insolent demeanor remained unchanged.
The young employee who had spilled the coffee realized she had gone too far. Nervously, she looked

at Bella with tears welling in her eyes, struggling to find the right words to explain herself. Afraid of
being misunderstood by Bella, she was on the verge of tears.
The office fell into silence, with everyone waiting for Bella's reaction.
Suddenly, amidst the tense atmosphere, Bella burst into laughter.
Rochelle's eyebrows twisted, demanding to know what was so amusing.
Others looked at Bella with bewilderment, unsure of her reaction.
Bella folded her arms and turned to face Rochelle, and her voice tinged with contempt and mockery. "I
thought you would become wiser after this incident. But you're still as foolish and stubborn as ever."
Rochelle couldn't believe what she heard. "What did you say?!"
Her face contorted with rage, twisting her beautiful features into a ghastly sight.
Without hesitation, Bella responded, "First of all, you have been fired. When Ms. Benett spoke, you
were no longer the company's director. Stop using your former position to bully others."
Rochelle wanted to retort, but Bella ruthlessly cut her off. The situation had taken an unexpected turn,
and Rochelle's arrogance crumbled in the face of Bella's newfound strength and determination.
