Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Kiara Lark was the one who stepped in, having just finished her business and witnessing the scene.
"What are you doing? Fighting in the company?" Julia, still fuming, pushed Kiara away.
"Stay out of this.
I'm teaching this ungrateful wretch a lesson for Ms.
Hall!" Wren refused to back down.
"Stop using Ms.
Hall as a shield! You just want to play both sides, and now that Ms.
Hall isn't buying it, you're taking it out on me!" Julia, fearing that Jaylene might hear this, retorted angrily, "Who's playing both
sides? You ungrateful wretch! You're the one taking money from Ms.
Hall while benefiting from Ms.
Arnold! Isn't that true?" Wren responded coldly, "I'll say it again, I didn't take Ms.
Hall's money.
Keep slandering me, and I'll call the police." Kiara tried to mediate, "Alright, both of you, calm down.
We're all colleagues here.
Is this really necessary?" Julia, emboldened by her aunt Aubrey's position as Darcie's confidant, was used to bullying weaker
colleagues like Wren.
Wren standing up to her in public felt like a personal insult.
Julia sneered, "Kiara, let her call the police! Do you think I care? Who would want to be friends with a backstabber like her? You
wouldn't even know it if she sold you out someday!" Wren's face turned red with anger, but she didn't waste words and
immediately took out her phone to call the police.
Kiara quickly intervened, "Enough! This is a workplace, not a battleground.

If you want a judgment, Ms.
Arnold is upstairs.
Take it to her!" This finally calmed them down.
Darcie detested internal conflicts, and if this reached her, neither of them would benefit.
Julia glared at Wren, spat out "Just you wait," and left with her files and a few colleagues.
Kiara turned to Wren, speaking softly, "Wren, what's going on with you today? You usually ignore people like her." Wren pursed
her lips.
"She's trying to curry favor with both Ms.
Saun and Ms.
Hall, using me as a pawn to please Ms.
Hall.
I won't play along." Kiara hesitated, then said, "Ms.
Hall was genuinely kind.
When we found you crying in the bathroom, I mentioned it to her.
Without hesitation, she asked me to advance you the ten thousand.
When I asked why she didn't approach you herself, she said it would only make things harder for you since you're already
isolated because of her." Wren, expressionless, replied, "But I ended up being ostracized anyway.
If I'd known that money came from her, I would never have taken it.
I don't want to take sides.
I just want to earn my salary to pay for my grandmother's treatment.
I took that dress to sell it for money.

Knowing what I know now, I would never have accepted anything from her.
"People can call me ungrateful or foolish.
As long as I keep my job, I don't care.” Kiara's gaze was complicated.
"Wren, you didn't use to be like this." Wren forced a smile.
"Kiara, you've never been as desperate as I am.
You still have a basic sense of morality.
When you're so broke that you eat expired bread and get dehydrated from diarrhea but can't afford to see a doctor, you'll realize
that kindness and gratitude mean nothing in the face of poverty.
We have to survive before we can think about anything else." Kiara sighed.
" Ms.
Hall has been really good to you.
I've never seen her let another employee ride in her car." Wren replied coolly, "If I weren't in the finance department, she wouldn't
even look at me.
I won't lose sight of who I am over a few small favors." Kiara said nothing more, but her disapproving gaze showed she was
deeply disappointed in Wren.
