Chapter 838 What Is Her Background
Wooing My Ex-Wife
Charles smiled, leaning down to meet Sissiâs terrified gaze. âI donât like liars. Do you know them or not?
This is your last chance,â
A powerful sense of oppression swept over Sissi, making even her breathing become very slow. She didnât dare to make a sound.
âSo youâre not talking, huh?â
âContinue.â
Charles said coldly, the wailing mixed with the sound of blunt force hitting flesh was absolutely horrifying.
Isaac approached Sissi and warned her, âAre you still not going to tell the truth? After Mr. Newton is done with them, youâre next, Sissi. Youâd better think it through carefully.â
âIâll talk! Iâll tell you everything!â
Charles raised his hand, and the man in black halted his actions. Those few thugs were already half dead.
Sissi looked at the few punks on the ground, shaking with fear. Isaac had her lifted by two men in black.
forcing her to make eye contact with Charles.
Isaac warned. âYouâd better clearly explain what youâve been doing in the company. If Mr. Newton finds out, donât blame me for not warning you about the consequences.â
Sissi steeled her heart âIt was Lana. She made me do this! She has always been jealous of Whitney.
She formatted the computer the last time and caused Whitneyâs project plan to go missing.â
âThereâs also the report on Whitneyâs account. It was Lana who had me meddle with it. This time, she gave me some money to hire a few thugs to rough her up. The money sent to them was all from Lana.
This is all documented.â
With trembling hands, Sissi pulled out her phone, bringing up the transaction records between her and Lana. Before she started on this endeavor, she had feared that things might go awry, so she had taken extra precaution.
She certainly wouldnât foolishly bear all the responsibility.
âLana gave me one hundred twenty thousand yuan. One hundred thousand was for hiring the thugs, and the remaining twenty thousand was hush money for me. Mr. Newton, please understand that Iâm just a worker. Lana was the one who orchestrated all of this!â
Looking at the transfer records on his phone, Charlesâ eyes suddenly turned cold.
Isaac then asked, âApart from Lana, is there anyone else? Besides these, what else have you done to Whitney?â
âThere is Janice too. Sheâs the one spreading rumors about Whitney and and you in the company.
They all disapprove of Whitney, just an intern with no education or background, yet she keeps receiving special treatment from the company. Therefore Sisstâs voice grew softer and softer, revealing everyone in their little circle In order to protect herself, she had no choice but to act this way.
âCall those few people over.â
Isaac didnât dare to delay and hurriedly did as instructed.
Before long, everyone was brought to the front of the office door.
Upon entering the office, Janice was so shocked by the scene before her that she collapsed onto the floor. Lana was also frightened, barely managing to stand upright by holding onto the door frame.
With a forced smile, Lana asked, âMr. Newton, what⦠what do you mean by this?â
Charles gave a slight smile, gazing at her, he said, âLana, thatâs a nice name.â
At this moment, Charles was smiling. It was a smile that was laced with a hint of danger and a hint of warning. Lana could see it clearly.
âMr. Newton, youâ¦â
Lana looked at Sissi, who was stunned and sitting on the ground, feeling very worried inside.
âNotify the HR department, that they will no longer appear in any companies in Newton Group. If any company in Salinsburgh dares to hire them in the future, it would be crossing Newton Group.
Furthermore, I never want to see them in Salinsburgh again.â
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the office was completely dumbfounded.
Lana was frightened and pleaded. âMr. Newton, please give me another chance. I realize my mistake and I promise I wonât cause you any more trouble in the future.â
Upon hearing this, Charles slowly approached, and stopped when he was only two steps away from Lana. He leaned in with a cold smirk. âWhere did you do wrong?â
A powerful sense of oppression swept over Lana, causing her legs to weaken. Trembling, she found herself unable to speak.
âThrow them out. Donât dirty the carpet.â
â
Upon hearing those words, Isaac quickly called over a few bodyguards dressed in black. They promptly dragged the thugs out of the office. While they were at it, they also escorted Lana and the others out.
Lana and the others hadnât snapped out of their fear even when they were dragged out of the office.
Janice was someone with very little courage who would only dare to bully the weak and fear the strong.
This time, she was scared to the point of fainting.
Isaac said coldly, âPack your things immediately and leave the company. You have half an hour. If youâre not ready by then, donât blame me for being rude.â
âMr. Turnerâ¦â
Lana was actually planning to play the victim.
But Isaac simply wouldnât buy what she was selling, briskly shaking off her hand as she tried to latch onto him.
O âYou have twenty-nine minutes left. If you insist on stirring up trouble before you leave, feel free to try.â
After saying that, Isaac turned around and left.
âLana, weâve all been working for you. Now that weâve lost our jobs and are being driven out of Salinsburgh, you should at least come up with a solution, right?â
At this moment, Lana was feeling extremely agitated. Hearing Sissiâs incessant nagging on the side instantly ignited her anger.
âWho was the one begging me for help in the first place? Now that thereâs trouble, you come looking for me? When you were reaping the benefits, why didnât you think of refusing then? You want me to find a solution now? What solution could I possibly have?â
âYou were the mastermind behind this from the start, and now you expect me to bear the consequences? Thatâs not fair!â
Sissi was furiously yelling behind Lana.
Lana simply ignored her.
They returned to the logistics department.
As they were all called out one by one, and both Sissi and Janice returned with red, tear-stained eyes, the remaining people in the logistics department couldnât help but feel a sense of unease.
Seeing Lana return, someone immediately went up to her. âWhat on earth happened? Why did Mr.
Turner call you out? Why do I see Sissi and the others packing up?â
Seeing someone checking on her, Lana sighed, a knowing look appearing on her face as she began to pack up her things.
âAll I can say is, steer clear of Whitney in the future. Sheâs not someone you can afford to mess with.
After all, she has a CEO backing her up.â
âIâm just being kicked out because I stepped on her toes in a task, stirred up her cheese. Now, I have to pack up and leaveâ¦â
At this moment, Isaac arrived at the logistics department. Lana quickly shut her mouth and dared not say another word.
Under Isaacâs watchful eye, Lana and the others quickly packed their belonging into the boxes.
After they left, the logistics department instantly erupted into a flurry of activity, with people gathering in small groups to discuss the matter.
âLana is a veteran in our department and highly capable. How come she was terminated? Could it be at promotion?â
âIt doesnât seem right to me. Didnât you notice that those who were close to Lana have all left? And with Sissiâs outspoken personality, would she look like this if she got promoted? She must have done something that crossed the line with Mr. Newton. Thatâs why she was fired.â
The person who had just spoken to Lana denied all of their speculations, and whispered, âLana told me the truth. We should stay away from Whitney in the future. This woman is truly terrifying. I really donât know what her background is.â
