Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 467

Vivienne frowned, realizing her attempt at a private resolution was only making things worse. "Harrison, you were fired because human resources deemed you entirely incompetent for the music director position. Your contract was legally terminated, and you were given a three-month severance package as compensation. You know this perfectly well."

Harrison's face darkened, utterly blindsided by her bluntness. "I know no such thing! I've been in this industry for nearly a decade! Everyone knows what I'm capable of. You're saying I don't meet the requirements? Then who does? Her?"

He turned his glare toward Nora, scoffing. "A greenhorn who just walked through the doors of Star Entertainment? What are her qualifications? Where is her portfolio? What gives her the right to take my seat?"

Nora didn't say a word. She simply picked up a folder from her desk and tossed it in front of him.

"These are my academic credentials, my degree certificates, and the copyright documents for every single track I've arranged in my career. Feel free to take your time reading through them."

Harrison snatched the folder, flipping open the cover. Instantly, his pupils contracted.

A Master's degree from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music?

A protégé of Professor Elena Thorne?

The resume was flawless.

He frantically flipped through the pages, the color draining from his face.

Twenty-seven arranged tracks, over a dozen of them massive chart-toppers. He recognized almost all of them, and every single one listed the exact same arranger—

Rose!

The industry's most brilliant composer!

Seeing her husband's pale face, Seraphina snatched the folder and skimmed a few pages. Her own expression froze in shock.

Nora watched his self-righteous display, finding it utterly ridiculous.

He had been fired for gross incompetence, yet he insisted on playing the victim of some grand conspiracy.

"Mr. Sutton, filing a dispute is your right. I won't stop you. But you instructed your wife to launch a vicious online smear campaign against me. For that, I won't let you off easy."

Hearing Nora target her, Seraphina bristled, her voice hitting a shrill shriek. "That was a public whistleblower report! Not slander! You know exactly how you got this job, so stop acting like some innocent saint. Everyone knows you're just trading your body for a title! You shameless little bitch... Ah!"

The vile words barely left her mouth before Nora's hand connected with her cheek in a resounding slap.

The impact left Seraphina's ears ringing, her eyes wide with shock. "You... you actually hit me?! I'm going to kill you..."

"Seraphina!" Vivienne reached out to intervene.
