Chapter 358 Tire Punctured

Most of the negative reviews on the flagship online store were related to Nydia. Regardless of whether they bought clothes designed by Nydia or not, anyone who bought clothes left negative feedback.

“Nowadays, many buyers intentionally buy and then refund or return the goods, just to make us sick. And all of this is because of you,” the shareholder who spoke earlier said again.

Cade cleared his throat twice. “Don’t blame Nydia like that. She is innocently implicated. The main fault lies with Jesse.”

“Jesse is her husband, isn’t he? How can she be innocent? The dress she wore was hers, wasn’t it?” the shareholder retorted.

“If Jesse wants to buy it, she can’t refuse, can she? And you all know what kind of person Jesse is!” Cade frowned and argued, “In any case, I don’t think we can blame Nydia. She has created a lot of revenue for our company before. We can’t just blame her for everything when something goes wrong!”

“Weren’t the previous earnings shared with her?” The shareholder’s words made everyone look at Nydia with blame.

Another shareholder spoke up, “I think this way. We should reward and punish clearly. She created revenue before, and she received money. So now that she’s losing money, she naturally has to compensate, right?”

“I still don’t think it’s entirely her fault. We can’t let her bear all the losses,” Cade disagreed.

“Mr. Pascall, we know you cherish her. She is your adopted daughter, but that’s your private matter. We’re talking about business now. I think you should separate your private and public affairs, otherwise, you won’t be convincing to everyone!”

Nydia had been silent all this time, listening to them argue. Her heart was calm.

“Nydia, say a few words. I know it’s not your fault, it’s all Jesse’s fault. But the current situation is indeed caused by you. Everyone is in a panic, and our official Weibo has been scolded tens of thousands of times,” Willette said anxiously.

“Mr. Malone, sister, and other shareholders, I’m sorry for the impact this has had on the company,” Nydia deliberately made herself look very sad and even pinched her thigh. Her eyes were slightly red. “But I still hope the company can give me another chance.”

She was already beautiful, and with so many men present, they couldn’t help but soften when they saw her pitiful appearance.

“Give me a month, and I will make up for the company’s losses. If I can’t make up for the losses in a month, I will not only compensate for the company’s losses, but also resign,” she said with sincerity.

This was very sincere, and no one in the room could say anything against it.

After all, they couldn’t push too hard. She was just a weak woman, and she was also Cade’s adopted daughter. They had to give her a chance.

One month is not a long time. It’s best to earn the money back. After all, they only care about money. If they don’t earn it back, they’ll lose money and resign. It’s a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

After the meeting, Nydia and Willette went to Cade’s office.

“Nydia, you won’t blame me, will you? Although I’m the chairman…” He sighed deeply.

“I won’t blame you, Mr. Malone. I have caused a lot of trouble for the company.”

“This Jesse is really a jinx. You should divorce him as soon as possible. Otherwise, who knows how long he will drag you down? Pascall’s stock directly hit the limit down today!” Willette said angrily. “I think Jesse is in danger this time.”

“Nydia, did Jesse really not donate the 20 million worth of goods properly?” Cade asked.

“I’m not sure. He handled that matter, and I didn’t interfere.”

“What about compensating for the losses after one month? You don’t have any money now, do you?” Willette asked.

Nydia bit her lip and thought for a moment before answering, “If it doesn’t work out, I’ll ask him for it. It’s my money, and he can’t refuse to give it to me!”

“Mr. Malone, sis, I’ll leave work first.”

“Okay, go ahead. Don’t worry too much. We’ll help you.”

“Thank you, sis!” Nydia choked up and then left the chairman’s office.

Along the way, Nydia received all sorts of strange looks, some gloating, some showing concern, but mostly just watching the show.

She returned to the design department to pack her things.

“Nydia, why did they call you over?” Maddie asked anxiously.

“It’s nothing. We have to work harder in the next month, or else I’ll have to resign in disgrace.” Nydia patted Maddie’s shoulder.

“What? Resign in disgrace? But this matter has nothing to do with you. It’s all…” Maddie didn’t say it, but she asked anxiously, “Won’t Mr. Pascall do anything? Letting this ferment online? Now everyone is attacking you.”

“Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”

Nydia’s own mindset was good. Barclay dared to mess with Jesse, and Jesse would definitely not let him go. She felt that Barclay might be in trouble soon.

According to Jesse’s character, he would definitely die a miserable death!

She finished packing her things and left work. When she got to the parking lot and was about to drive, she found that the tires seemed to be flat. She walked around the car and found that all four tires were flat. It was clearly deliberate.

She immediately went to the security room.

“I want to see the surveillance footage. Someone punctured my tire.”

“Your tire was punctured? Who would do such a thing?”

The security guard pulled up the surveillance footage for Nydia to watch. A sneaky figure appeared on the footage, dressed heavily with a hat on, and the face was never revealed. It was impossible to identify the person, but the height suggested that it was a man around 1. 75 meters tall, although it couldn’t be ruled out that he was wearing elevated shoes, so the height was within the range of 1. 7 to 1. 75 meters.

It was difficult to identify someone with such an ordinary build, especially without seeing their face.

However, Nydia still took a picture of him.

She went to the side of the road to hail a taxi, thinking of dealing with the car problem tomorrow.

“How come you’re taking a taxi? Where’s your own car?” Zane asked when he drove by and saw Nydia hailing a taxi.

“My car’s tire was punctured by someone, so I can’t drive it.”

“Did you check the surveillance footage?”

“Yes, but the person was intentionally concealed, dressed heavily and wrapped up, so I couldn’t see their face.”

After pondering for a moment, Zane said, “Get in the car, I’ll take you back.”

“No need, I already called a taxi, it’ll be here in a moment,” Nydia refused, mainly because she was afraid that if she took Zane’s car back and Jesse found out, the remaining two months would be difficult.

Zane didn’t say anything else and left.

Nydia got in the taxi and sat in the back seat thinking about things. Her phone rang, it was Jesse calling.

“Where are you now?”

“I’m on my way back, I took a taxi, I’ll be home in about half an hour,” Nydia said.

“Share your real-time location.”

She was surprised but did it anyway.

“My car tire was punctured, and the car is still parked in the underground parking lot,” she messaged Jesse.

“Come home first,” Jesse replied.

The traffic was a bit congested on the way, but she arrived home safely.

Jesse arrived home shortly after she did.

“What happened?” she immediately asked Jesse, sensing that the atmosphere was a bit tense.
