Chapter 1830 The Demeanor of a Director
With firm resolve, Bella stood her ground and addressed Rochelle's ill-intentioned words. "Also, these
people are my team members. You've abused and suppressed my team for so long, so it's only fair for
us to seek revenge now, right?" Her words exuded confidence, and her authoritative presence filled the
room with awe.
She continued, not giving Rochelle a chance to defend herself, "Call security and have this person
escorted out of the company. Don't let her take anything that doesn't belong to her. Also, thoroughly
check the files on her phone."
Rochelle's fury escalated, and she unleashed a barrage of curses, heedless of her image. "Who do you
think you are? How dare you treat me like this?" Rochelle's arrogance knew no bounds.
"What, didn't you get your position after hanging around that b*tch, Elisa? Everyone knows why you
were promoted to chairperson at such a young age. You're no good either!"
Before Rochelle could finish her derogatory tirade, Bella's palm struck her face with a resounding slap.
In the distance, Elisa noticed the commotion and stepped out to see if she needed to intervene. As she

calmly. She watched, curious to see how Bella would handle the situation.
Elisa couldn't help but be impressed by the force and impact of Bella's slap. The decisive action caught
her attention, and she silently admired Bella's boldness in handling the situation.
The impact was powerful, and Rochelle's face immediately swelled up. The stinging sensation in
Bella's hand lingered, a testament to the force she had used, but she couldn't let Rochelle's slander go
unchallenged. Despite the tension in the air, Bella stood her ground, unwavering in her determination to
put an end to Rochelle's insolence.
Taking hold of Rochelle's collar, Bella's voice held an unmistakable edge of authority as she
threatened, "If you continue to defame others, be prepared to receive a lawyer's letter."
With a firm push, Bella released her grip on Rochelle, causing the disgraced woman to stumble
backward and eventually fall to the ground.
The security guards arrived, and Elisa watched the unfolding scene from a distance, her gaze fixed on
Bella, curious to see how she would handle the situation.
Rochelle appeared dazed from the slap, her expression a mix of shock and bewilderment as the
security guards escorted her away, leaving the office area in awkward silence.
As the tension in the room began to subside, Bella took a moment to collect herself, her strong exterior
hiding a wave of relief washing over her.
However, there was still one matter to address.
Turning her attention to the young employee who had joined in the conflict, Bella looked at her with
stern eyes and delivered her admonishment, "And as for you, don't take the lead like this again. It'll
only get you in trouble. Let her go where she belongs, with the rest of the trash. No need for you to
waste your time and energy on her."
The young employee meekly nodded in acknowledgment.
Observing the office area, Bella noticed Elisa, who had approached during the commotion.
Her eyes lit up, and she swiftly instructed everyone before leaving the office area.
Amid the commotion, the office was abuzz with discussions.
"Ms. Wickam turned out to be completely different from what I had imagined. I thought she was a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgentle and fragile Ophelia, but I never expected that she's more like Joan of Arc."
"How could anyone around Ms. Benett be anything less? I feel that our project department will only get
better and better!"
"But if she's this fierce... I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."
Bella was unaware of these conversations and paid no attention to them.
Bella's eyes sparkled with a sense of achievement as she approached Elisa, feeling pleased with how
she handled the situation. "How do you think I did? I hope I didn't embarrass you."
Elisa's smile warmed as she praised Bella's decisive actions, "You handled it well. A director should be
firm in both rewards and punishments."
Bella blushed modestly, humbled by the compliment from the woman she admired.
Elisa couldn't help but notice the change in Bella's demeanor. She teased playfully, "Hey, where is the
feisty Ms. Wickam from earlier? I've just praised you a little, and you're blushing like a cherry."
In Elisa's presence, Bella's tough exterior seemed to soften, revealing her personality's more
vulnerable and sincere side. Her admiration for Elisa was evident in her expression and demeanor.
