The Woman From Hell

He was a little surprised to see me come in. "How did you get up here?"

"I can't fly, so of course, I walked up with my own two feet."

The investigator on the side looked at me and said to Zedd, "The audit has basically been completed and the results will be released tomorrow. From the current preliminary investigation, there's nothing wrong with Grant Corporation's operation except for a portion that's Mid-Nutri Technology. It's expected that you can resume business very soon." He got up and left after saying that.

Zedd got up to walk him out. "Thank you. Sorry for the trouble."

When the investigators had left, he leaned back on the sofa and smoked. He appeared easygoing and relaxed as though nothing was going on.

I could not sit still thinking about my worries and fears these days. I was angry. I went up and put out the cigarette in his hand. "Mr. Zedd, I need an explanation for what's been happening recently."

He was not mad after his cigarette was snatched away. He looked at me and said, "What explanation do

you want? Do you want me to tell you that I was the one who did all this?"

"Isn't that the case? Ever since I took over the new product endorsement, accidents have been happening. People have been secretly tripping me up and all signs point to you.

"Besides, you’re responsible for taking care of Mid-Nutri. Need I say more? Don’t treat me like a fool." I raised my voice and looked at him coldly.

He was half-lying on the sofa, looking askance at me." Regarding the new product endorsement, it's because you wanted to hold a competition, and as a result, everyone knows about it. How can you blame me when rumors like that broke out? As for Mid-Nutri, yes, I’m managing it, but many of the documents were indeed signed by you. You have no one to blame but yourself for trusting your subordinates so much. Don't you ever read the documents before you sign them?"

I was speechless. "So from what you’re saying, this is all my fault? Was it my idea to use Mid-Nutri to launder money too?"

He moved a little closer to my side and said, "Theo knows about the things happening in Mid-Nutri. The internal flow of each factory in the enterprise replaces each other. This isn't supposed to be a big deal in the industry. For a company as big as Grant Corporation, directly announcing the closure of a factory will affect the stock market. That's why we came up with this plan."

I was stunned. "Theo knows about this?"

Zedd looked meaningfully at me and said, "I don't know about the other stuff but he knows better than anyone about the things happening in Mid-Nutri.

Also, this matter was handled two years ago. We've already appeased the family. We can't just let a factory like that stagnate a business from growing and developing, right?

"Why did someone still die, then?” They clearly said that a family member had committed suicide in front o f the factory.

"It’s been two years since the incident and the family i s just coming over to make a scene? Do you think it's reasonable? Someone's just trying to use this incident to make a scene.”

Things turned out to be like this. Someone deliberately chose to report this to target Grant Corporation as well as me.

This was a double whammy to not only destroy Grant Corporation's prestige but also to bring me into disrepute. The reason why Zedd and the rest were not panicking was that they knew that there was nothing wrong with Grant Corporation. When the storm passed, they would then issue a statement to sweep m e out, making it a convincing solution.

It just so happened that I could not defend myself since I was responsible for the endorsement. I also owned 50% of the shares of Mid-Nutri and was the one who signed the documents.

Therefore, I alone would take the blame in the end.

I was the only one who would be kicked out in the end.

I was so furious that I laughed miserably. "Mr. Zedd, I always thought you were just good at yelling at me. I can't believe you’re so scheming too. I'm pretty impressed."

Public opinion would be enough to sweep me out the door and leave me without a chance to make a comeback. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Zedd did not say a word. After a long silence, he looked at me and said in a low voice, "You don't need t o be upset. You'd leave sooner or later anyway. The company’s shares remain yours, so you won't really lose anything.”

Would not lose anything?

I laughed. Was the loss of reputation not a loss? It might be difficult for me to re-enter the workforce in the future.

I stood up and looked down at him from above. "I've thought of the many ways I would leave, but I certainly didn’t think I would be kicked out by you. Does Theo know about this?"

He neither admitted nor denied it.
