Chapter 147 Dan wanted to stop Lucas but couldnât make it in time âWhy did the company spend my resources on Bryce? Who does he think he is? Heâs worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as me?
Loras was furious. Over the past few years, he had always received the best offers from Scott Media, but now, these resources were given to a recent college graduate who hadnât even debuted yet.
Maeve leaned back in her chair and asked, âYou want to know why?
âYes!â Lucas exclaimed angrily âDid Bryce pay you off? Or maybe youâre his pimp...â
Maeve slammed the documents in her hand onto the table with force.
Lucas was shaken by this action.
He thought Maeve was just a meek woman who wasnât involved in the entertainment industry, making her an easy target. But at this moment, Maeveâs eyes were filled with fury, Maeve said coldly, âLucas, youâre just an artist under the company. Watch your words!â
Unconvinced, Lucas continued relentlessly, âIâm the biggest star in this company! The companyâs annual performance relies solely on me. Youâve just taken office; why are you giving my resources to someone else?â
Dan, seeing Maeveâs expression, started sweating coldly, Maeve sneered, âYour resources? The company provided all your resources! Youâre the hottest? Take a look around; youâre barely a smallâtime celebrity. You say the companyâs annual performance relies solely on you, so why donât you take a look at this ledger?â
Marwo threw the ledger in her hand in front of Lucas.
Lucasâs face fell, and even Dan looked uncomfortable.
Maeve continued calmly, âYou splurged all the income received by every artist in the company to one person. Dan Hall, youâre really audacious.
âMs. Scott, let me explain.â
Dan trembled with fear. He had done this in the past for the sake of Scott Group. Otherwise, the company wouldâve closed down years ago. But, he had tampered with the accounts. How could Maeve still see through it?
Maeve looked at Dan coldly. He was desperately trying to come up with an excuse but couldnât.
nd use the money for personal use. As long Every company would have an executive involved in financial fraud. They would alter the accounts and nobody exposes them, there wonât be any consequences when the money is repaid later.
But Dan and Lucas hadnât filled in the blanks in the books for three consecutive years, even though she had hinted at it since taking office. They thought they wouldnât get caught.
Dan probably thought she was just an omament for show. It was too bad she could easily see through the modified accounts.
âMr. Hall, Iâll give you two options.â
âMs. Scottâ
âThe first option is to be dismissed.â
Mr. Hallâs face turned pale.
âThe second option is to resign voluntarily.â
Maeve smiled and added, âYou choose one.â
Dan swallowed hard, his legs trembling. He had worked at Scott Media for over ten years, but now he was dismissed.
Maeve showed no mercy. Such parasites had to be removed.
âI choose to resign voluntarily â
Dan cried, tears and snot streaming down his face.
Maeve replied lightly, âThen you may leave.â
With Dan taken care of, Marve turned to Lucas âIâll give you two options as well.â
Since Dan had just bren disksed, Lucas frir a chill down his back.
