Chapter 174
Gladdish tried to maintain a composed facade despite the mounting pressure. Several managers shot her meaningful glances, silently conveying that she was on thin ice,
Suddenly, Logan spoke up, “Ms. Carter, you don’t need to come to work tomorrow.”
Gladdish’s eyes widened in shock. “Ms. Cooper, what do you mean by this?”
Logan was the second in command in the company. She had full authority to dismiss anyone.
But had Gladdish offended her in any way? Why would she want to dismiss her?
“Aren’t I clear enough?” Logan’s tone was indifferent yet assertive. “You’re fired.”
It was evident that Renee and Francis were friends. However, Gladdish seemed oblivious and dared to
give Renee a hard time right in front of Carlisle. Wasn’t that a slap in his face?
“I refuse to accept this! I will speak to Mr. Zahn about this!”
She tried to rise from her chair, only to find her legs turning jelly, unable to muster the strength to stand.
During her 30s, she spent money to study accounting for a few years, then worked in several small companies to gain three to five years of work experience.
At 38, she entered Riley Corporation based on her work experience. She had been working there for four years since Riley Corporation’s establishment.
Now, at 42 and being dismissed, it would be difficult for her to find another position as a finance manager.
At this moment, Kenny spoke calmly, “Ms. Carter, you’ve been in the workplace for over a decade. Can’t you see why Mr. Zahn doesn’t trust you?”
Gladdish pondered briefly, quickly recalling that Carlisle had just given ten thousand dollars to Francis.
“Do the boss and Renee’s friend know each other? Gladdish wiped away her tears, feigning innocence. “I
…. I didn’t know!”
-Logan remained unmoved by Gladdish’s tears. She turned to a staff member in the finance department
and said, “Eddy, give Ms. Carter four months‘ worth of salary.”
Eddy pursed his lips, trembling as he counted a stack of cash from the drawer.
It was already 2:00 pm when Carlisle returned to Dragonaire Studio.
Team Legendary department’s living room had two poker tables set up, filled with the pungent smell of smoke. As soon as Carlisle entered, the bustling living room instantly fell silent.
Heath explained with a smile, “Boss, the internet is down today. Several nearby residential areas are also without network.”

“What are you guys playing?” Carlisle smiled as he approached.
“Black Jack! Do you want to play a few rounds?”
Heath offered his seat to Carlisle.

Seeing everyone placing hundred–dollar bills in front of them, Carlisle shook his head and said, “You go ahead. We’re all friends here, so there’s no need to bet so high!”

Heath laughed. “They won’t be satisfied if it’s small stakes!”
Most of these people used to be his second–rate buddies, always ready to spend more than they had, especially at the gambling table.
Carlisle checked the kitchen and found the pots and pans ready, but there was no gas. So, he settled for
instant noodles for dinner.
While eating instant noodles, he also played a few rounds of Black Jack.
Whether it was due to bad luck or not, he lost two thousand dollars in the time it took to eat his noodles.
“Forget it, I’m done. My luck is terrible!”
Carlisle threw his cards onto the table and then went to bed.
“Haha! Boss, you owe me 300!”
“Carl, did you forget to wear your lucky color today?”
“Oh my, Carl, your luck is terrible!”
