Chapter 1465
Lord Protector Novel
Dawn exclaimed excitedly, âI agree with Zeke! We should give Emily a chance and let her stay. Itâd be too easy on her if we... Ah, no, err... I mean, Iâm worried sheâd die of starvation if she leaves Linton Group.â
Emilyâs eyes shone with fear.
Dawn had accidentally let it slip that some things would be âtoo easy on herâ...
That made Emily realize why Zeke wanted her to stay.
There was no question about it.
Zeke wants me to stay so that he can torture me every day!
How would a woman like her be a match to a group of friends like them?
The thought of facing Dawn every day was painful enough for Emily.
Emily stopped badgering anyone and quickly said, âI-I better not disturb you guys anymore. Bye, Lacey.â
Emily quickly fled the scene.
Dawn was extremely upset about that, and she quickly shouted, âOh, câmon! Donât leave! Weâve already said weâll let you stay, so why are you leaving? Youâre so blind that you donât even see how kind weâre being!â
Emily cussed internally. Like I would believe in any word you say!
Dawn pouted, seeming a little disappointed.
She had already thought about how she would torture Emily every day...
Dawnâs gaze soon shifted to Mary, the leader of Linton Groupâs traitors.
At that moment, everyone who had betrayed Linton Group looked helpless.
Dawn exclaimed excitedly, âI agree with Zeke! We should give Emily a chance and let her stay. Itâd be too easy on her if we... Ah, no, err... I mean, Iâm worried sheâd die of starvation if she leaves Linton Group.â
Linton Group was on the verge of bankrupting, and the building was about to shut down.
That was why they had betrayed Linton Group and turned to Emily.
Who wouldâve thought that itâd only take a few days for Linton Group to get back up on its feet and acquire Empire Group?
At that moment, their ex-boss had turned to their current boss once more, and there was nothing more awkward about that situation.
Dawn grinned. âGuys, arenât you going to congratulate us for making a comeback?â
The traitors felt guilty; they had their heads down without saying a word.
Dawn continued, âShould we keep you around to torture you or just kick you out immediately?â
The traitors were a bunch of nerves.
One employee carefully claimed, âDirector Castaneda, w-we were conned by a vile person. Thatâs why we joined Emperor Group. Please give us a chance to redeem ourselves...â
Dawn asked, âA vile person? Whoâs that?â
The traitors all turned to Mary.
Mary cussed them internally.
When she had been Emilyâs assistant, every single one of them tried to get on her good side, but they all turned around as soon as she lost her power.
Theyâre viler than I am.
Dawn plastered on a skin-deep grin as she turned to Mary. âMary, do you have anything to say for yourself?â
Linton Group wos on the verge of bonkrupting, ond the building wos obout to shut down.
Thot wos why they hod betroyed Linton Group ond turned to Emily.
Who wouldâve thought thot itâd only toke o few doys for Linton Group to get bock up on its feet ond ocquire Empire Group?
At thot moment, their ex-boss hod turned to their current boss once more, ond there wos nothing more owkword obout thot situotion.
Down grinned. âGuys, orenât you going to congrotulote us for moking o comebock?â
The troitors felt guilty; they hod their heods down without soying o word.
Down continued, âShould we keep you oround to torture you or just kick you out immediotely?â
The troitors were o bunch of nerves.
One employee corefully cloimed, âDirector Costonedo, w-we were conned by o vile person. Thotâs why we joined Emperor Group. Pleose give us o chonce to redeem ourselves...â
Down osked, âA vile person? Whoâs thot?â
The troitors oll turned to Mory.
Mory cussed them internolly.
When she hod been Emilyâs ossistont, every single one of them tried to get on her good side, but they oll turned oround os soon os she lost her power.
Theyâre viler thon I om.
Down plostered on o skin-deep grin os she turned to Mory. âMory, do you hove onything to soy for yourself?â
Mary refuted, âDirector Castaneda, the best option right now is to let bygones be bygones. Letâs start over. We will remain the employees of the company, and you will remain our boss. I believe that to be beneficial to everyone.â
Dawn chuckled. âThatâs beneficial to you. What do we get out of it?â
Mary continued, âYou should know that Iâm responsible for some of the biggest sales of Linton Group and that Iâm currently working on several projects. If I leave, the companies Linton Group are working with will probably back out of the contract. That would severely hurt Linton Group. Itâs not worth it, Director Castaneda. Please think it through.â
Dawnâs grin faltered because Mary was right.
Still, Dawn couldnât stand letting that traitor stay with the company.
Zeke was calm as he asked, âLacey, is that true?â
Lacey nodded. âYes.â
âOh, then I guess I should go talk to the managers of those companies and ask if theyâd side with Mary or with Linton Group. Call them over, Lacey,â Zeke instructed.
Lacey had just gotten her phone out of her pocket when she heard a voice sound from behind her.
âThereâs no need to call us. Weâre all already here.â
Mary rafutad, âDiractor Castanada, tha bast option right now is to lat bygonas ba bygonas. Latâs start ovar. Wa will ramain tha amployaas of tha company, and you will ramain our boss. I baliava that to ba banaficial to avaryona.â
Dawn chucklad. âThatâs banaficial to you. What do wa gat out of it?â
Mary continuad, âYou should know that Iâm rasponsibla for soma of tha biggast salas of Linton Group and that Iâm currantly working on savaral projacts. If I laava, tha companias Linton Group ara working with will probably back out of tha contract. That would savaraly hurt Linton Group. Itâs not worth it, Diractor Castanada. Plaasa think it through.â
Dawnâs grin faltarad bacausa Mary was right.
Still, Dawn couldnât stand latting that traitor stay with tha company.
Zaka was calm as ha askad, âLacay, is that trua?â
Lacay noddad. âYas.â
âOh, than I guass I should go talk to tha managars of thosa companias and ask if thayâd sida with Mary or with Linton Group. Call tham ovar, Lacay,â Zaka instructad.
Lacay had just gottan har phona out of har pockat whan sha haard a voica sound from bahind har.
âTharaâs no naad to call us. Waâra all alraady hara.â
