Chapter 706The dismissed employees sought out Sadie, crying foul and attempting to have her intercede to keep their positions in the company.Sadie felt a mix of anger and heartache because she had painstakingly placed these people in their roles. Acting on impulse, she went to find Harriet."Harriet, you went too far. With the company in turmoil, you fired so many employees. How do you think the remaining employees feel?" she exclaimed."I only fired a portion of the lazy good-for-nothings. Why should I care?" Harriet retorted. "You know better than anyone how useless these employees are. I dismissed them for the company's sake. Don't you want the company to improve?"Sadie was rendered speechless.But even so, these people were her confidants, whom she had planned to promote to take over the chairman's position from Felipe.Now, with Harriet seizing the initiative and her confidants being dismissed, she became even more resentful."Harriet, you are going too far," she exclai
Chapter 707"Nothing is going well," Sadie said bitterly.She then recounted everything that had happened during the day."Harriet went too far, relying on her position as chairman to bully me," Sadie sulked, pouring out her grievances. "The whole company is targeting me. This is personal. Harriet is malicious and jealous of me, so she finds ways to make trouble for me.""Take it easy. It's not worth it," Delbert comforted her."I don't want to be angry, but that's too much. I'm Ms. Bass. Why should I be humiliated by such a woman of unknown origin?" Sadie argued.She was dissatisfied with Delbert's perfunctory response and was about to question him, but when she saw his gentle expression, she couldn't bring herself to be angry anymore.It was fine, as long as Delbert was by her side.However, she was not going to let Harriet off that easily.She swore that she would make Harriet pay the price.Since Harriet could dismiss her confidant, why couldn't she dismiss the people bro
Chapter 708"Carol, don't leave. I'll be right there," said Harriet on the phone.Carol thought Harriet was just trying to comfort her, so she agreed and hung up the phone."What's wrong? Yvonne?" Levi asked."My friend encountered some problems. I need to go to the company to help her handle it. Levi, can you ride me there?" Harriet said, suspecting it was Sadie's doing.She would not let it go easily."Sure!" Levi nodded.Soon, they arrived at the office building of the Bass Group.Harriet got out of the car and saw Carol sitting alone on a bench.After leaving Wendell's company, Carol now faced another unfair situation. When she saw Harriet approaching, she couldn't help but burst into tears.After Carol finished venting, Harriet used the tissue to wipe away her tears, comforted her, and took her to confront Sadie.Sadie was in the conference room.The human resources manager was introducing the new employee, Krista Byrd, to all the staff. "Everyone, take a look at the d
Chapter 709"I'm looking for Krista," Carol said, spotting Krista. "She was the one who stole my design draft."She pointed at Krista, full of grievance.Krista panicked, but she forced herself to calm down, casting a pleading glance at the HR director."Carol, you have already been dismissed by us. You are no longer part of our company. It's meeting time now, and you should leave," the HR director reprimanded."It's her. She was the one who stole my design draft." Carol grabbed Krista's arm, tears falling uncontrollably, and shouted at her with a sense of injustice, "I trusted you so much. Why did you steal my things?"The others present had no idea what was happening, but the company's priority was to protect its interests."Carol, this is not a place where you can act recklessly. Please leave. If you have any unpleasantness with our new colleagues, please discuss it privately. Don't make a scene here!"It was clear that these people were ganging up on Carol because she had n
Chapter 710Earlier, Carol had already had a private quarrel with her, but now Krista was still lying in front of so many people."Ms. Munoz, I..." Carol looked at Harriet in great distress, feeling wronged and not knowing what to do.Harriet's gaze shifted to Krista, whom she had given a chance.The circle in this industry was small, and every designer had their own pride. Designers who stole others' design drafts would be despised.If this matter got out, it would have a serious negative impact on Krista's career.Krista was just in her twenties, and everyone made mistakes at some point. If she admitted her mistake now, Harriet would downplay the issue."Are you sure this is your design draft?" Harriet asked again."Yes!" Krista nodded without hesitation."Well, in that case," Harriet said coldly, "Miss Byrd, if it's found out that you stole someone else's work, you will need to take legal responsibility.""What evidence do you have to prove that these drafts were not drawn
Chapter 711Krista glanced at everyone present. Since things had escalated to this point, she had to prove herself and untangle the previous lies.She bravely took the brush and design book from Harriet's hand and started sketching.Meanwhile, Carol quickly put her ideas into action. She had many thoughts to begin with, and to prove herself, she worked even faster.In contrast, Krista couldn't produce anything with the pen.In less than twenty minutes, Carol had already finished.On the other hand, Krista's design was still in its initial stages.It was now clear who the liar was."Krista, now will you admit that you stole my design draft?" Carol took a deep breath and questioned Krista."Yes, I took it. So what?" Krista said defiantly."Krista, you should apologize to Carol," the HR director demanded.Although it was Sadie's order to dismiss Carol, she couldn't defy Harriet.Krista was taken aback. Before she could react, she heard the HR director repeat, "Apologize."Und
Chapter 712The HR director was taken aback, thinking that she had misheard.She was under Sadie's management. How dare Harriet openly kick her out of the company?"I said the person who should leave this company should be her," Harriet repeated.They locked eyes, and the atmosphere immediately became tense."Ms. Munoz, this is not fair!" The HR director gritted her teeth."Since you called me chairman, it means I have the final say in this company. Therefore, I have the right to dismiss someone who occupies a position without fulfilling their duties," Harriet declared. "Even if you complain to Felipe and Sadie, it won't make any difference. I hold more shares than the two of them combined, and besides..."Harriet paused and sneered, "My eldest brother is the leader of a top assassination organization, and my second brother is the business emperor of Imperium. You should know what will happen if you offend me."The HR director never expected that Harriet had such an extensive b
Chapter 713"If that's not good enough, then just deduct half a year's salary," Bruce tried again.It was a serious punishment for Mindy Buchanan.Even if Harriet wanted to make an example out of Mindy, she should still leave some room for negotiation. That was a rule in the workplace.However, Harriet still didn't agree. "Dismissal is the punishment. No room for negotiation."She was really pushing people to the edge.When Mindy first heard that her salary would be deducted, she was discontented, and when it was mentioned that half a year's salary would be deducted, she managed to suppress her anger. But now that Harriet still wouldn't budge, Mindy couldn't hold back any longer."Harriet, even though you are the chairman of the company, you only own fifty percent of the shares. The other fifty percent belongs to Mr. and Miss Bass. I am the HR director of the company, and if you want to dismiss me, you need their consent," Mindy said defiantly.Even if Harriet had powerful back
