Cordelia spoke softly, but each sentence hit the nail right on the head. Not only had she cleaned herself of any blame, but she also tossed the problem back to Ava.

Ava trembled slightly. Who said that pregnant women had baby brains?

Not only did Cordelia not have a baby brain, but her tongue was also sharper than a blade. Was her baby a debater!?

Ava could not help the lurch of her heart when she looked up and met Cordelia's cryptic gaze. She forced a smile.

"Cordelia, heh... Are you joking?"

"Am I?" Cordelia smiled. "I hope I'm thinking too much into this."

"Well... since you're so merciful, they're forgiven this time!" Ava quickly went up to hook arms with Cordelia intimately and eyed the three employees. "Alright, Cordelia's not blaming you. Go back!"

"Hold on." Cordelia's voice was cold.

She turned to Ava with a smile and pushed her hand off.

"Ah, I have something I didn't get to inform you in time, Ava. I'll just announce it here."

Ava gulped. "What is it?"

Cordelia spoke seriously. "My position in Imperial Media in Centrolis is Madam Baker's senior assistant. Now that I'm here, my corresponding position will be the CEO's assistant.

"Madam Baker's understanding of my pregnancy and gave me three months off, but I'm canceling it today!"

Ava was alarmed. "You... What's the meaning of this?"

"It means..." Cordelia smirked looking into her eyes. "As the CEO's assistant, I'm calling for an HR department meeting to discuss the transfer of these women!"

"What?"

Cordelia looked at the three women. "You're excellent talents. If you have no objection, I hope to see you all in my office!"

The news spread in the Baker Group.

Cordelia won people's hearts, and the employees fought to work under her.

She received their self-recommendation emails every day these days as all of them wanted to work in her office.

First off, they could grovel to the CEO's daughter-in-law and save lots of effort. Secondly, they were willing to follow her because of her fair and tolerant attitude.

Sarah, Jenny, and Fan, especially, were loyal to her. They worked hard and secretly told her that they had not picked on her intentionally that day-they were instructed by Ava.

"Madam, you have to stay away from her!" Fan was similar to Cordelia in age, so she was the closest to her. "I thought that she's a Baker heiress and must be elegant and gracious, but now... Hmph! What a hypocrite to play such a trick!"

"Forget it." Cordelia patted her shoulder. "You've left her side now. Work well over here!"

"Mm!" Fan smiled gratefully, motivated in her work.

Meanwhile, Ava was angry for days that her plan had backfired.

Hannah comforted her in the beginning but left her be after that, and was annoyed later when she cried at home.

"Are you done!?" she scolded. "What's the point of throwing a tantrum at home? Kick Cordelia out of the company and snatch Zephyr if you can!"

Ava cried harder hearing this.

Noah, who had just eaten, came over and saw one of them furious and the other with reddened eyes. He asked with a frown, "What's the matter? You aren't eating. Will you be full by fighting here?"
