Chapter 215: Meeting
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The meeting for the termination went as planned.
All employees of the company were gathered in the hall as Shawn Kleine and Harry Jones walked onto the stage.
The pair looked down at the countless employees of the Genesis Corporation.
Acting as though he was hurt, Shawn Kleine announced, “Recently, something happened in our company. Someone flouted our rules and caused a huge uproar in the company. Harry Jones is an exemplary employee of our company. He’s hardworking and performs well, but such an exemplary employee was harassed by a female employee. She’s none other than Lindsey Taylor.”
“Lindsey Taylor’s behavior has left a stain on our company’s reputation. As the chairman, I have the obligation and responsibility to uphold our company’s name. Lindsey Taylor has to pay for what she’s done. I hereby declare that…”
Hearing Shawn Kleine’s announcement, the employees broke into discussion.
Minnie Jensen was delighted. ‘This is the moment I’ve been waiting for—for Lindsey Taylor’s reputation to be trashed. Although I know the truth of the matter, that doesn’t matter. Anyone who tries to get close to my boyfriend deserves death.’
But many of the employees were stunned. They knew Lindsey Taylor and knew how hardworking she was. ‘There’s no way such an exemplary employee would try to seduce a rich second-generation heir for the sake of money. It’s simply impossible. Something is amiss!
“Hold up!” Just then, someone interrupted Shawn Kleine’s speech.
Everyone turned to see a man walking to the front with Lindsey Taylor.
This man was none other than Finn Taylor.
‘Fool! Why’s he here?’ Shawn Kleine and Harry Jones couldn’t help but curse inwardly at the sight.
Very quickly, Finn Taylor arrived at the stage with Lindsey Taylor. “Shawn Kleine, your lies sound quite convincing. But don’t you think you should ask the involved party about what really happened that day?”
“The involved party? Are you talking about the person who smeared the name of the Genesis Corporation?” Shawn Kleine pointed at Lindsey Taylor, his tone menacing and hostile.
“Mr. Kleine, don’t you think you’re jumping to conclusions? I found several witnesses who saw what happened that day. Don’t you think you should listen to their statements too?”
“Witnesses?” Shawn Kleine glanced at Harry Jones. ‘Don’t tell me this fool was retarded enough that he let others see him while he did that? It’ll be humiliating if everything is exposed, but it doesn’t seem right for me to refuse his request either.’
In the end, he chose to believe in Harry Jones. Besides, he could simply deny what Finn Taylor’s witnesses said.
“Alright, bring them here.”
As soon as Finn Taylor finished his sentence, four men walked into the hall.
These four men were all white-bearded old men.
‘What does he mean by this? Why aren’t the witnesses employees but four old men?’ While Shawn Kleine was still deep in thought, the four men had already walked forward.
The former then caught a clear glimpse of them.
“I-isn’t this Malcolm Landon?”
“That’s right—it’s him. He’s one of the ten greatest businessmen in San Diego.”
“That’s Victor Smith; he’s my idol. He built his company from scratch and is now one of the top figures on the Forbes list!”
“Look at that man beside Victor Smith. He looks like Philip Smith. Last year, he was the richest man in San Diego!”
“I-isn’t that Jerry Wood? He’s currently the richest man in San Diego!”
“What? Did those four men really witness what happened?”
Shawn Kleine grew pale the moment he spotted the four men. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, dripping down onto the ground. ‘This… Isn’t that man Lindsey Taylor’s cousin? But I’ve done my checks on Lindsey Taylor—she’s just an ordinary employee from the countryside. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared to help Harry Jones either. But something seems amiss.’
“Mr. Kleine, do you still remember me? I’m Victor Smith.”
As soon as the men arrived on stage, Shawn Kleine felt a chill run down his spine. While the other was speaking very politely, Shawn Kleine couldn’t help but feel terrified.
He naturally knew just how vicious these men could get to reach where they were and just how many men had died at their hands.
He was nothing when compared to them.
“Shawn Kleine, I heard that something which concerns your company’s reputation happened. Coincidentally, the four of us were sitting in the cafe opposite playing chess and saw what happened. We’re here to make our statements as witnesses. I don’t think you’ll mind, right?”
Shawn Kleine very much wanted to curse and swear. ‘There’s no way they would’ve seen anything from the cafe, but I can’t possibly say that. Not only can I not say that, but I even have to thank them for this!’
“Thank you very much! I appreciate your kindness very much. I’m still a little confused with both sides telling me different stories, so I don’t know the truth yet. I’m really grateful that the four of you are willing to help me put the pieces together to learn the truth.” Shawn Kleine was truly shameless.
Earlier on, he had already spilled the ‘truth.’ If not for Finn Taylor stopping him, Lindsey Taylor probably would’ve been fired by now.
But now, he dared to say that the truth was still uncertain.
Of course, the four men didn’t expose him.
Victor Smith glanced at Lindsey Taylor, then at Harry Jones. “That’s right; it was the two of you. I saw you guys clearly. This young lady was coming out with a book in her hands when this young chap tried to touch her. She dodged him, but he tried to hug her and even kiss her. In the end, she punched him.”
With just a few sentences, Victor Smith narrated the whole truth.
This sent Shawn Kleine into a fluster. ‘What this old man said is completely different from what I said earlier.’
“What, do you think that I’m bearing false witness, Mr. Kleine?”
Philip Smith laughed. “False witness? I saw it too.”
Malcolm Landon nodded by the side. “Me too.”
Jerry Wood was the only one left—he was the top figure in the whole of San Diego.
Jerry Wood glanced at Shawn Kleine. “Mr. Kleine, I can vouch for whatever Victor Smith just said. I saw it too.”
The moment Jerry Wood spoke up, the results were set in stone.
Nobody could make a rebuttal. They would be going against Jerry Wood by doing so.
Now, Shawn Kleine’s face was ashen.
“Mr. Kleine, aren’t you going to do something about someone who ruined the name and reputation of your company?”
