Chapter 1220

• The design director's voice was sharp as she addressed Lydell. "If you weren’t the daughter of the He family, do you think you’d be in charge of He Corporation? You’ve gotten to where you are because of your family’s influence. So, what gives you the right to criticize others? It seems like you think you're better than everyone else, yet I’m beginning to doubt the sincerity of your family in this collaboration."
• Lydell’s expression shifted, her facade of calm beginning to crack. She realized that the team was standing up for Liza—most likely because she was married to Gavin. If she hadn't married him, no one would be paying attention to her, let alone defending her. She wasn't angry, though. She kept up her polite smile and responded coolly, "Director Liu, I’ve been the general manager of He Corporation overseas for many years. The company has recognized my work, and I’ve earned my place."
• The design director scoffed in response. "Miss He, you have an exaggerated sense of your own importance. To be blunt, He Corporation hasn’t been doing well for years. If it weren’t for Chairman He and Mr. He, the company would have folded long ago. Yes, you’ve held the position of general manager, but what have you really accomplished? You’ve been in charge, but your performance doesn’t reflect that. You’re clearly not qualified, yet you’re looking down on Ruby Co. You really think you can criticize someone like her?"
