Lydia's eyes brightened, and she quickly asked Henry to hand over the contract.Several senior executives had a quick read-through; it was similar to Melinda's. The main question was whether the money had actually been received.Henry smiled faintly and said, "Regardless, you and Ms. Leon are company elites. Losing either of you would be a tremendous loss for the company.""What are you trying to say?" Melinda asked coldly."Shouldn't we just call it even? Nobody needs to leave, and we can continue to be colleagues who support one another," Henry said with a smile.Everyone was stunned for a moment. Nobody expected Henry to say anything like that.Lydia listened, looked stunned, and discreetly smiled bitterly. Henry must be playing a trick, most likely with a forged contract or one with no actual payment received.Melinda had considered that as well. Her informant in the finance department had been closely monitoring incoming payments for the past two days. Other than the 7.5 mi
After all, there was simply no way to replace Marco.As Marco spoke, several people immediately responded, "That's right. We've wasted too much time. If you have proof of payment, show it now. Otherwise, admit your loss."Melinda's face turned smug with the crowd's support, and her gaze toward Henry was filled with arrogance. Wallace was also ecstatic, believing he had sided with the right person. He would soon be able to take Cecilia's position and lead the team.On the other hand, Lydia, Hilda, and Cecilia were desperate and ready to give up. At that point, Henry sighed and said, "Alright, since everyone thinks we must determine a winner and loser, and there's no room for sentiment, and someone must be fired later, then let's do it."Can you please explain it to everyone, Ms. Yates?"Everyone was stunned by those words, wondering if the payment had been made and if Cara had been aware of it beforehand.Otherwise, why would he say that?All eyes turned toward Cara.She nodded.
Hilda was surprised. She never imagined that the person she had always looked down on, the outsider who appeared to be a waste, possessed such talent.It was truly all on him; she seemed to understand Lydia's arrangement.If Hilda were not mistaken, Lydia probably arranged for Henry to deal with the Whites. Otherwise, the recent series of events could not be explained.Despite her misinterpretation, Lydia simply wanted Henry to gain experience so that he could support himself after the divorce, but Henry did not have that purpose.So it was a lucky guess.However, Marco could not abandon Melinda so easily because she was his absolute confidant; he had to speak up to defend her. Henry noticed his expression and immediately said, "Alright, the outcome is clear. I tried everything possible to get Ms. Thompsan to cancel the bet, but she refused."Furthermore, the management had agreed, insisting that someone leave. It's heartbreaking to lose Ms. Thompson, who's such a talented person
When Marco heard that, he snorted coldly and said, "Nonsense! The sales team leader position is a leadership position within the company. How can it be appointed by a regular salesperson like yourself? It would be a mess.""But this was agreed upon beforehand, and both sides agreed," Henry explained calmly."What agreement? Did the top management approve? The team leader position isn't something you can simply decide on," Marco said."But Henry mentioned this requirement just, and none of the managers objected," Cecilia said."Really? I didn't notice that. If I had heard that, I would've objected right away. The team leader position isn't an ordinary position; it must be discussed jointly by the Administrative and Sales Departments before it's decided."Regarding the position, there's another issue we need to address. You're Henry, right? When did you start with the company, and did you go through any written tests or interviews?"Marco wanted to remove Henry from the company.H
Upon hearing that, Lydia and Hilda's expressions changed slightly. Lydia, in particular, was well aware that Henry lacked any formal education. He was a bumpkin from the mountains.Marco, who knew both of them well, noticed their reactions and felt pleased; he would not let them be at ease that day. Most importantly, he intended to use that opportunity to bring Hilda down.If he could secure the position of Sales Director, losing Melinda would be insignificant.Melinda and the others had not yet left, so they felt relieved. Seeing Henry in trouble made them feel a lot better."Ms. Wood, why the silence? Had he not attended university?" Marco asked purposefully.That statement stunned everyone in the room.Cecilia's expression also shifted. She was concerned after learning from Hilda that Henry lacked any formal education.For some reason, she did not want Henry to be kicked out of the company in that manner.Hilda remained calm and said firmly, "In my opinion, educational backg
It was clear Marco was attempting to drag Hilda down.Lydia's expression changed dramatically. Hilda was her most powerful ally in the company. If Hilda got in trouble, it would significantly impact her.Cecilia and the others became increasingly nervous.Henry chuckled and said, "You're impressive, Mr. White. With only a few words, you're attempting to shift the blame to Ms. Wood. Are you so eager to bring her down?""No, Ms. Wood is a pillar of our company who has made significant contributions. Why would I have such thoughts?" Marco retorted quickly."Oh, yes, Ms. Wood is truly outstanding. Whatever happens, it will not affect her, right?"Marco was dumbfounded when he realized he was once again trapped by Henry's words. He responded coldly, "Stop the nonsense and justify yourself."If she did something wrong, she would face the consequences. After all, just because she has merits doesn't mean she can do whatever she wants in the workplace."Furthermore, with merits come cor
Marco was furious when he finally figured everything out.He never expected Henry, whom he despised, to cause him such harm.On the other hand, Hilda's admiration and surprise for Henry grew. In her opinion, Henry must have meticulously planned that trap, and it was not something that an ordinary person could pull off.Nonetheless, the central question of how Henry entered the company remained unanswered.If the crisis were not appropriately addressed, it would only persist.Marco suppressed the desire to kill Henry and said coldly, "Henry, after all that talk, you still haven't explained what qualifications you have for Ms. Wood to recruit you into the company?"Henry shook his head, frowning. "Are your ears not working, Mr. White? I just stated that my experiences are too terrifying to share with you."That infuriated Marco, who retorted angrily, "Just say it if you don't have abilities; don't lie."If you can't give us a reasonable explanation today, you will not only be kic
Lydia could not help but smile bitterly. She did not expect Henry to pull it off. He had even prepared a fake certificate.However, such information could be easily verified by contacting the appropriate university.The others were also astounded. They never expected Henry to do such a foolish thing.Cecilia smiled bitterly. She believed Henry was capable of doing such a thing. Furthermore, Hilda had already stated that he lacked academic qualifications.Hilda sighed, realizing there was no way out of that situation.However, Henry smiled and asked, "Who said it's a fake?""I did!" Marco exclaimed and burst into laughter."It would be better if you showed us a certificate from an unknown university. It would've been more difficult for me to verify it."Do you think you can fool us with a fake Hafferd University certificate? Are you trying to insult us?"'What? Damn it! This guy must be insane! He got an honorary professorship certificate from Hafferd University?! That was extr
