Chapter 530:
She reassured them that she wasn’t short on cash, and only then did Nina tuck away her card.
Urged by her friends, Gabriela agreed to return to her company.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she grew.
Cali, barely even a close friend, was ready to help, yet Wesley, who had been intimate with her, wouldn’t even meet her. She was determined to see him, no matter what.
Back at her company, bad news awaited.
With Orion’s disappearance, many employees, fearing the company’s collapse, began submitting resignations. Gabriela quietly reviewed the letters.
Kaleb sighed. “I’ll try talking to them p>
He knew the hotel partnership’s failure was largely his fault, a result of his shortsightedness, and he felt responsible for Gabriela’s predicament. He vowed to fix it.

Gabriela suddenly asked, “Is there anyone else who wants to quit p>
Kaleb looked confused.
With fewer than fifty employees, over ten resignations seemed significant enough.
She pressed further. “So none of the department heads have resigned p>
Some of them were loyal to Marie, and keeping them posed a risk.
But Gabriela hadn’t found grounds to fire them.
Their resignations now would be a blessing.
Kaleb shook his head. “What makes you ask that p>
Just then, Trenton strolled in with a swagger. “Miss Haynes, I heard the company might not be able to pay salaries soon. This mess is on me, so I’m resigning p>
Trenton, previously the finance director, was now the administrative director. Gabriela had reassigned him because she didn’t trust him with the company’s finances.
His voluntary resignation meant she could avoid paying severance, and she was secretly delighted, though she kept up an indignant facade.
“You’ve caused so much chaos for the company, and now you just walk away?” she challenged.
“It wasn’t intentional,” Trenton replied shamelessly. “I took on the project for the company’s good. Is it my fault it fell apart? It’s evident that our company lacks the necessary financial resources. With another two hundred million, that hotel would have been ours. I’ve poured p>
“Everything into this place, but with you, Miss Haynes, lacking the strength to lead, I’m frankly disappointed p>
Trenton intentionally raised his voice, ensuring other employees overheard.
He pressed on, “You’re too inexperienced. You needed more seasoning before taking the helm. Your inexperience has sunk this company. You should be ashamed p>
With that, he slapped his resignation letter on Gabriela’s desk and strode out. She stifled her glee, calling after him loudly, “Mr. Diaz, you know we’re in trouble. Stay two more months to help us through p>
“Everyone has got their own road,” Trenton replied dismissively, not glancing back. “Please inform finance to settle my salary within two days p>
“Mr. Diaz, please reconsider…” Gabriela called, but he was already out of sight.
The remaining employees, catching the exchange, grew even more restless. Once Trenton was gone, Gabriela’s feigned distress vanished, replaced by a bright grin.
She shut the office door and turned to Kaleb with a mischievous smirk. “Uncle Kaleb, please inform finance that we can’t pay salaries yet. Let’s hold off for a week p>
As soon as the other two department heads resigned, she would promptly release salaries and reward loyal staff with raises.
Rebecca could never have guessed that her plot against Gabriela had unwittingly helped her clear out Marie’s loyalists entirely.
