The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 1246

The company had somehow managed to survive for the past few years. Although Shirley was now the most popular actress, her business value was still low. Deciding to risk offending Xavier, the board of directors hesitantly suggested replacing Shirley with someone new. Everyone was prepared for Xavier's wrath, since they all knew that Shirley was his favorite.

However, to their shock, he wholeheartedly supported the idea.

"I was thinking the same thing! In Shirley's case, we've lost more money than we've earned. She doesn't deserve all our resources," Xavier said firmly from his seat in the middle of the conference room.

"What?! Mr. Stuart, you agree to replacing Shirley? That's... unbelievable!" Ryan Wallace, the person in charge of marketing, exclaimed in disbelief.

"Was I not clear, or do you have trouble understanding me, Mr. Wallace? Isn't it normal for us to replace someone who isn't performing well? Why are you so shocked?" Xavier's eyes narrowed as he rested his chin on his hand casually. The atmosphere immediately became tense.

"No, of course not!" Ryan quickly lowered his head and mumbled, "I was just surprised, that's all. After all, you gave up everything to promote her, even going back on your own principles!"

"Well, things change. We have to treat all our celebrities fairly regardless of their seniority and fame. We'll fire anyone who disobeys that rule," Xavier announced.
