Clarence said, âMr. Barret, don't be so tensed. Weâre just chitchatting. Calm down, please.â
âI... Iâm pretty calm. You deliberately...â
While they were talking, Justinâs assistant has brought Winnieâs assistant back.
Her assistant had never seen such a scene before, so she stammered to greet Clarence, âHi, Mr... Mr. Conrad...â
Then she looked over at Justin. For a moment, she didnât know how to address him. Her lips parted, but she couldnât utter any word.
Justin wasnât angry. He said friendly, âWhere have you been just now?â
The assistant answered, âI... I just got a phone call and was told I needed to cooperate with the change of the ceremony schedule, so I... I went there...â
âWas there anyone else besides you?â
âYeah, all the assistants of the Conrad Groupâs artists went there.â
Justin turned to ask his assistant, âWhat happened?â
His assistant answered, âI didnât get the notice that something had been changed on the schedule. Nathan is in charge of this matter. Iâll call him over.â
Nathan had been in charge of the charity banquet. Upon hearing the news, he rushed over.
He answered, âThe schedule is fine. Nothing happened to it.â
Winnieâs assistant said in confusion, âBut... weâve waited there for a long time.â
âWho informed you to go there?â
âIt was the deputy manager of the administration department.â
Otherwise, they wouldnât have waited for them for such a long time.
Nathan pulled out his phone and dialed the deputy managerâs number, but his phone was off.
Chassell said, âItâs a problem of the internal communication in Conrad Group. You wonât blame it on me, will you? Thatâs so ridiculous!â
Winnie said in a cold tone, âIf you hadnât bribed him, how would he find an excuse to send my assistant away?â
Chassell looked over at Justin. âMr. Conrad, have you seen it clearly? Sheâs slandering me in this way. Am I nuts? Why would I bribe the deputy manager of the administration department?â
Justin thought for a moment. He said to Winnie, âFor the time being, we canât find the deputy manager. Letâs leave this matter aside first. Iâll give you an explanation after the investigation.â
Winnie pursed her lips tightly. She could read between the lines of Justinâs words. It was the anniversary celebration of Conrad Group. He didnât hope she made a fuss here.
However, the scumbag Chassell sickened her so much.
Once he left this door, he would only be more brazen Although Winnie wasnât afraid of him, she worried that this jerk might do something to Channing.
Hence, she closed her eyes for a second and inhaled. âNo. Iâll call the police. Itâs not the first time Chassell Barret harasses me. He has appeared at my door several times and tried to assault me. The security guards of my community are the witnesses.â
Justin didnât respond; he seemed to be thinking over it.
Chassell laughed in his heart. He didnât think the security guardsâ testimony would be a menace to him at all.
With a little bit of manipulation, he could turn this matter into a sex scandal.
The police wouldnât care about such a matter at all.
Hence, Chassell said, âSure. Go ahead to call the police. Anyway, I...â
Before he finished speaking, they heard a loud bang at the door together with a manâs cry in pain.
Everyone in the room turned to see what happened.
A man was lying on the floor with bruises on his face. He was crawling backward in panic.
Soon, Darnellâs figure appeared in their sight again.
Nathan looked at the man on the floor. âOh, here you are, Mr. Shannon.â It was the deputy manager of the administration department.
As soon as Chassell saw him, his expression changed dramatically. He looked extremely livid.
Mr. Shannon struggled to stand up but failed. He crawled to Clarence in evident fear. âMr. Conrad... Mr. Conrad, I was bewitched. I have... I have refused him, but he threatened me. He said he would work with Conrad Group soon. If I donât listen to him, he will make me lose my job. Mr. Conrad, itâs my bad. Please forgive me!â
All people knew that no one dared to play any tricks when Clarence was in charge of Conrad Group.
Since he quit, on the surface, nothing had happened in Conrad Group. However, the employees became relaxed and bolder without the suppression, and Justin was quite gentle and easygoing.
Mr. Shannon was threatened this time because Justin had become the CEO of Conrad Group. Secondly, he also wanted to make money.
As soon as he sensed something wrong, he ran away. However, he was caught as soon as he hid in the basement.
Clarence looked calm and emotionless, âWhy are you telling me things about Conrad Group?â
Mr. Shannon reacted pretty quickly. He immediately turned to Justin. âYoung Master Justin! Young Master Justin, please give me a chance!â
Justin heaved a sigh in silence. He said to Chassell, âMr. Barret, do you have anything else to say?â
Stella chimed in, âMr. Barret, are you going to say that Winnie and Mr. Shannon colluded to slander you?â
Before Chassell answered, Mr. Shannon immediately said, âI have evidence. He transferred the money to me this morning. Although he used a different account, you can find the record as long as you look into the funds in his name. Besides... Iâve recorded his conversation with me.â
Upon hearing it, Chassell parted his lips but couldnât utter a beep.
Justin said, âMr. Barret, since so, I donât think itâs necessary for us to partner.â
As he spoke, he looked over at Winnie. âWith Mr. Shannon as the witness, Conrad Group will support you. After the party is over, Iâll go to the police station with you.â
Winnie knew that Justin was offering her an excuse to let go of this matter for now.
He said he would accompany her to the police station later. If she insisted on calling the police now, that would be over the line.
Winnie was still an employee of Conrad Group, so she could only nod in agreement. âOkay. Thanks, Mr. Conrad.â

Chassell walked up to him. âExcuse me, Mr...â
Without looking at him, Justin said in a gentle but severe tone, âMr. Barret, you should know how important this anniversary celebration is for Conrad Group.â
Chassell withdrew his steps, gritting his teeth.
After Justin was gone, Clarence glanced at Nathan. The latter understood and nodded slightly.
Winnieâs assistant fetched her high heels back.
They walked out of the dressing room together.
Only Chassell, Mr. Shannon, and Nathan were left in the dressing room.
Mr. Shannon looked at Nathan and pleaded, âMr. Lance, please put on good words for me...â
Nathan said, âYou should know Mr. Conrad well. I canât do anything.â
âBut... But... Conrad Groupâs current CEO is Young Master Justin, isnât it? Mr. Conrad said it has nothing to do with him...â
Nathan didnât answer. Instead, he turned around and looked over at Chassell. âDo you think so too, Mr. Barret?â
