Chapter 251

There had been many eyes on Hartford Group lately due to the situation with Royal Financial Group. Every few days, someone would try to sneak into the company to take some photos. Just the day before, a woman claiming to be Summer managed to get inside.With another person claiming to be Summer now, the receptionist didn't even bother to look up."Get lost while we're still being nice about it. Otherwise, we'll call the police on you." The guard was getting impatient as well.No one knew exactly what was going on with the company.There was a chance that the company would collapse, which would mean that the guard would be out of a job. Just thinking about that left him with no patience to deal with any visitors."What are you doing?"At that moment, several men in black walked out of the security checkpoint.They were Robin's men, and both the guard and receptionist recognized them.The guard said in a hurry, "There's another person claiming to be Ms. Hartford. I was just going

Summer headed right to the 17th floor, where Hartford Group's administrative department was located. When she arrived, the department seemed eerily lifeless.Everyone looked up when they noticed someone walk in."Who's that?""Is she looking for someone?""Aren't those people from the top floor? Could they be sending an intern to our department?""Who would dare intern at a time like this?""She looks quite pretty. I wonder if she's some department head's daughter.""Where's your manager?" Summer asked."In his office. If you're here for onboarding, it's over there. The manager doesn't handle that. Which executive are you related to? What's your name?" an employee asked."I'm Summer Hartford," Summer replied neutrally."Summer Hartford." The female employee was stunned for a moment. "Wait… Summer Hartford? As in Mr. Hartford's daughter?""Yes." Summer nodded.That instantly caused the listless department to erupt with activity."I'm not here to join the company. Call all t

The group entered the conference room one after another.The first thing they saw was those towering bodyguards. Then, they noticed Summer holding a small spray bottle as she watered the potted plants in the room.From the side, she looked demure and quiet, like a finely crafted doll displayed in a shop window."Is everyone here?" Summer glanced over with an unfriendly expression.The managers exchanged looks of clear displeasure."Everyone is here except for a field manager. He's out on a business trip," Kate answered."Okay." Summer gently put down the spray bottle as she walked over to the table and took a seat.She didn't sit at the head of the table. Instead, she sat across from the managers."Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Summer Hartford, the legal heiress of Hartford Group," Summer said seriously.There wasn't a hint of childishness on her face. All that remained was an imposing presence and an air of authority.The managers quickly introduced themselves."

Summer looked at that woman. "I need to hear both sides of the story. Earlier, you told me you didn't make the scheduling sheet?""I was supposed to be in charge of it, but when I checked the schedule on Monday, I noticed that Wednesday's shifts had been altered. I couldn't have made the changes, and the only one with that level of access is Ms. Morrison," the woman answered.She then added, "After the incident yesterday, Ms. Morrison fired me with the reasoning that I made a mistake at work. But I really wasn't the one who made that schedule.""That's a load of nonsense!" Megan shot up to her feet as she raised her hand to slap the woman.A bodyguard immediately grabbed her wrist and shoved Magan back to her seat. "What are you doing, acting so violent in front of Ms. Hartford?""She's making things up! I never changed that schedule. I didn't even look at it!" Megan said loudly."Ms. Hartford, I'm not lying. You can check the system records. When I heard of what happened upstair

Summer looked at Edna. "I've checked the HR system, and her résumé never existed in the records. So, a mentally ill cleaner slipped into the hiring process. Even her welfare records were created later on. The person in charge of those records is Ms. Davidson."Jean Davidson was stunned when she heard her name. "I just create files based on the documents I receive. The files would already have been vetted and approved by previous departments by the time they reach me. This has nothing to do with me, Ms. Hartford.""The interview, records, and scheduling… Each of you claims that this incident has nothing to do with you. Yet, step by step, the mentally ill patient was somehow sent to the top floor," Summer said as she tapped on the desk lightly.Each tap seemed to land heavily on the hearts of the managers that were sitting across from her.She suddenly turned to Kate. "And you, Ms. Leeds. Don't you have anything to say?"Kate looked helpless. "It was definitely a failure on my part.

"You're right. You've worked at Hartford Group for over 20 years. You'd be truly heartless if you did something like this," Summer said.Kate kept up her kind smile. "If you ask me, it was just a mistake Ms. Morrison made with scheduling. There's no conspiracy like you suspect. If you're really upset, I can fire Ms. Morrison right now, maybe even Ms. Cole and Ms. Davidson. As long as it makes you feel better, Ms. Hartford.""Ms. Leeds, what do you mean I made a mistake? I already told you this has nothing to do with me. I just remembered that you know the password to my computer. You must have come back to the office on Friday night and used my computer to change the system!" Megan exploded."Megan, don't make accusations without any proof!" Kate replied."Check the security footage! Ms. Hartford, you'll be able to see who entered my office and change the schedule if you look at the security footage from that night!" Megan shouted."Sure. The security footage will prove my innocen

"Stop it! Turn it off!" Kate shouted frantically.But no one acknowledged her."Ms. Leeds, the security cameras are already off. I'm in Ms. Morrison's office now, but she has two computers there. Which one should I use?" a male voice said."The silver laptop. The password is 7642. Hurry up," Kate responded.Maegan shouted loudly, "So it was you! You vicious old bitch! You even tried to frame me?"Kate's expression darkened as she glared at Summer.After that was a short video clip. In that clip, the man filmed the changed schedule and hit submit. "Ms. Leeds, it's done. Now, you need to settle the rest of the payment. I'll leave after this, and I won't ever show up again.""Where did you get this from?" Kate asked as she stared at Summer.From the looks of it, the chat log wasn't even leaked by the other person. It had been from her end.She had always kept a close watch on her phone, and she had deleted that conversation a long time ago. So, how did Summer get her hands on it?

Kyle smiled and didn't respond to that provocation. "Then, let's vote. I don't support getting an interim CEO. I abstain from voting.""Mr. Griffin, is there really a need for a futile fight?" Aspen asked with a mocking smile.Kyle looked at him. "You'll find out soon enough if there is."Aspen thought Kyle was just making empty threats and didn't take it seriously at all.Just like that, the voting started.Nearly all of Mason's supporters abstained, and all of Aspen's supporters voted for him. There were a few neutrals who abstained as well, while the rest mostly voted for Aspen.The voting ended very quickly.With Stephen as a witness, they started to count the votes. In the end, with 34 abstentions, Aspen managed to officially become the interim CEO with 87% support.Aspen's joy was very evident.Standing on the stage, Aspen delivered his speech enthusiastically, "Everyone, don't worry. I ran Royal Financial Group for over a decade before my nephew took over. I won't let y

Rosanne's face stiffened even more.They had gone after Mason many times before. Every single time after it happened, both their side and Mason would act like nothing had taken place.Yet, this time, she felt like something was wrong.Aspen forced a smile. "Mason, you're getting better at cracking jokes. We've just been arguing for days because the company has been suffering from so much negative press. Since you're already back, everything can go back to the way it was." "There's no way we can go back to the way things were," Mason said calmly.The conference room fell into a dead silence at that moment. It was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard."Mr. Mason, what do you mean by that? Do you think we elected an interim CEO too quickly?" Stephen asked with a smile."Stephen, it has nothing to do with you. You were only looking out for your own interests. After all, the fact that I was dead seemed to be regarded as a certainty," Mason responded coldly."As long as you

Rosanna had a triumphant smile on her face as she raised her glass and toasted Leo.In the conference room, everyone was staring at the screen as the two of them chatted so happily.Stephen discarded his gentle demeanor as he slammed the table forcefully. "So, those rumors that cost the company so much money came from you. Is all this money from the shareholders just tools for your internal struggle in your mind, Mrs. Hunt? Aren't you crossing the line here?""Exactly! On one hand, you spread rumors that cost us money. On the other, you went around threatening and bribing people. The two of you really are something else!"The shareholders started to get furious. Some slammed their hands on the tables while others started cursing."Rosanna, so it really was you!" Aspen suddenly roared with an incredibly dark look on his face.Rosanna froze for a second before she snapped back to her senses. Then, she quickly shouted at Aspen, "Mason pushed me to do all these things! This company r
