Chapter 201 Let Me Explain
Initially, they thought that Hilda and Jared were in a relationship. Who would have thought that Jared and the company director were a couple?
At that moment, Hilda had her head lowered as tears welled up in her eyes.
Jared glanced across everyone in the sales department, and everyone instantly avoided his gaze.
Meanwhile, Zayne’s head was lowered the most. In fact, he wished there was a hole in the ground where he could bury himself under.
“Zayne, do you feel that I am unworthy of this position? Just now, weren’t you trying to chase me out of here?”
Jared looked at Zayne, asking in a teasing manner.
Zayne was stunned. “Mr. Chance, you are worthy. This position is just right for you…”
“On the contrary, I feel that your current position of manager is unsuitable for you, Mr. Carlson.”
At Jared’s words, Zayne looked at him with a pitiful expression and quickly apologized, “Mr. Chance, it was wrong of me to look down upon you. I was a fool. Please give me another chance. I have worked hard in this company for many years to rise to my present position of being the manager…”
“Give you a chance?” Jared sneered. “Just now, when you were going to sack me, did you think about giving me a chance?”
At that, Zayne’s entire body trembled even more, and words seemed to have stuck in his throat.
“I hereby announce that you, Mr. Zayne Carlson, have been removed from the position of Sales Department Manager. From today onward, you are no longer a staff member of this company…” Jared declared loudly.
“Mr. Chance, please don’t… No!” Zayne shouted as if he had gone crazy. Then, he looked at Josephine. “Josephine, please help me. I don’t want to be fired…”
Josephine took a look at Zayne’s pathetic expression and bit her lip. She turned to Jared. “Jared, could you—”
Without waiting for Josephine to finish speaking, Jared waved his hand and interrupted, “Let me show you something. If you still want to plead on his behalf after seeing it, I’ll promise you…”
Shortly after, Jared turned on the slide projector in the conference room, and everyone turned their attention on the white screen, eager to see what he wanted to show to Maria.
When he turned the slide projector on, pictures of Zayne together with several other girls appeared. There were also some explicit chat messages, which stunned Maria for a moment.
Looking at his photos, Zayne was dumbfounded. Then, like a crazy man, he tried to smash the projector. “This is all fake. Fake…”
Jared sent Zayne down onto the floor with a kick and kept him there by stepping on him. Meanwhile, the projector continued displaying more photos.
The last pictures showed Zayne being intimate with Lydia. Maria nearly fell off her seat as if she was dealt a physical blow. Fortunately, Hilda reacted quickly and steadied her.
At that moment, even though she was a conniving woman, Lydia could not help blushing as she looked at herself on the screen.
“Goodness gracious! I always thought Lydia was best friends with Maria. I never imagined she would do something like this! How shameless!”
“From appearances, we don’t know what agenda anyone may have. No wonder Lydia spent so much time with Maria. She has ulterior motives…”
“Huh! I despise this type of characters. Shameless…”
Everyone was shocked, and they began to criticize her.
In the face of such an onslaught, Lydia almost broke down.
Jared turned off the projector after he had finished showing the slides. Then he looked at Maria and asked, “Do you still want to beg on behalf of Zayne? I’ve told you before that he’s not suitable for you…”
Maria stood there motionless for a while, her eyes blazing with anger. Then she walked quickly toward Lydia.
“Maria, Maria, listen to me. Zayne seduced me. It was him who seduced me. In fact, he offered me money…”
Lydia did everything she could to put all the blame on Zayne.
