His Lordship Alexander Kane

Slap!

+15 BONOS

Alexander slapped Jerry’s face harshly.

“Those who don’t watch their mouths deserve to be slapped!” Then, Alexander grabbed Jerry by his collar and threw him to the floor before taking his seat. He did this all while being expressionless.

Jerry’s cheek was swollen as he lay on the floor, shuddering. Alexander’s gaze was utterly terrifying.

“Y-You... Very well, then!” Neil glared at Alexander and took a few deep breaths, trying to suppress his anger. The main mission that day was to take Amber down. He would have plenty of ways to make that useless bastard suffer in the future.

“Amber, I’m sure you're surprised we asked you here today.” Neil took a sip of tea. He smiled nastily. “For the past few days, you've helped the company immensely. All of us have witnessed the sacrifice you've made for the company and the family. That was why the company entrusted you with such a huge project.”

Alexander sneered. He could sense a ‘but’ coming, so everything he said was useless.

Sure enough, Neil cleared his throat, suddenly looking serious. “But you've let down your family and the company. You’ve betrayed the company’s trust in you!”

He raised his voice and threw the teacup on the floor. He rebuked, “You even embarrassed the Chesire family! Even though we like money, we still have our principles. Just because you have an important project in your hands, you daringly accept bribes. You've caused serious damage to the company! This is a crime!”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

The more Neil spoke, the more agitated he got. He threw his jacket aside, rolled his sleeves up, and barked, “What’s even worse, you were in cahoots with George Severn in trying to take over Chesire Group and all of its assets. How do you explain yourself? You have betrayed the trust of the board. Y-You’re a bitch!”

Amber’s face turned pale as she shook her head fervently. Tears fell from her beautiful eyes.

What right did Neil have to accuse her that way? How dare he frame her and humiliate her? How was she going to hold her head up high in the future?

She had never taken advantage of the company at all. Even if her project did not use up the allocated budget, she returned it to the finance department in the exact amount!

Amber wiped her tears with her sleeves and said with a catch in her throat, “Uncle Neil, |...”

“Don't call me Uncle Neil! You're not part of the Chesire family!” Neil did not give her a chance to explain. He interrupted her and said, “There's cold hard evidence. You can’t deny it at all! | will now announce that Amber Chesire will be fired! She'll be handed to the police and be dealt with by the law!”

The executives immediately chime in.

“Mister Chesire is right!”

“We must get rid of Amber Chesire!”

“Even if she gets locked up in prison...”

They were waiting for Amber to be humiliated.

Amber, from the beginning, merely pursed her lips and lowered her head in silence.

She wanted to cry but felt that these bastards did not deserve her tears. Nonetheless, her eyes gleamed in despair. She was utterly disappointed in the entire Chesire Group.

“Hehe!” A laugh broke through at that moment. It was Alexander.

“What a good show!” Alexander applauded Neil. He then took his phone out and calmly said, “Mister Chesire, I’ve recorded your performance today. This is an award-winning-worthy performance.”

Neil's gaze darkened. “Stop trying to interfere, Alexander. Every word | say is true. There’s no need to put on an act!”

“That’s right!” The few executives looked at Alexander and mocked, “Amber earns a few thousand dollars a month, and only that. The finance department has all of her financial records. Do you think we don’t know her financial situation?”

“That’s right! How could she possibly feed a family of four and buy an expensive car? She even bought her mother leather. She must've received bribes!”
