Chapter 459: Chapter 227 This Damn Woman, She Actually Went on a Blind Date?

"Who... Who fabricated this rumor? Director Forrest, this is nonsense.

My brother has devoted himself to this company, he couldn’t possibly be involved in embezzlement.

He’s not that kind of person.

Director Forrest, please don’t believe these wildly written things."

Upon seeing the words ’Strong Howard embezzles public funds’ written on the paper, Eden Howard immediately panicked and began to explain incoherently.

"Whether it’s a rumor or not isn’t important. The company’s books are right there; just get someone to go through them, and that will do."

Kay Forrest’s brow was still marked with his signature smile, but the words he spoke were much firmer.

Eden Howard nervously swallowed: "Director Forrest... my brother has been working at the newspaper for many years.

I hope you can believe in him."

"Of course, I would also like to believe that my employees are upright and impartial.

However, the person who provided me with this information also gave me some evidence that I simply can’t ignore."

"Who is it? Xavier? Did he frame my brother?

Director Forrest, these pieces of evidence could very well be fabricated by Xavier.

He’s been trying to get at me ever since I broke up with him.

He threatened me before, saying that if I didn’t get back together with him, he would find a way to deal with me.

I never thought he would resort to such despicable means.

Please give me a little time, I am willing to talk to Xavier."

Kay Forrest shrugged: "Honestly, I don’t know who did this.

This was an anonymous letter, and I too would like to find out which employee is so keen on rooting out traitors for the company."

Eden Howard bit her lip, no longer caring about the seductive lipstick she had just carefully applied.

Kay Forrest smiled: "Look at how nervous you are, you’re a far cry from how you were when you first came in.

I’m showing you this not to make things difficult for you.

It’s just that I believe if there’s a problem, it needs to be resolved.

Honestly, I don’t care about this little newspaper.

Even if your brother embezzled to the extent of his ability, the most he could reach is ten million.

But ten million, for me, is not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth.

If you want me to let this slide, it’s not impossible."

Eden Howard looked up at him with what seemed like hope: "Director Forrest, whatever you want to say, just say it outright."

Kay Forrest’s expression turned cold: "This is a company, not a nightclub. If you want to seduce men, choose a different place.

Also, this is not the place for couples to cause a scene.

I’ve already given you a chance, but it seems you don’t take this sacred workplace seriously at all.

If you really want to make a fuss, then do it away from here, in private."

He slammed the documents on the table: "I can let this go, under one condition—you three leave the company on your own."

Only at this moment did Eden Howard realize that the seemingly debonair and easy-to-talk Director Forrest was actually a smiling tiger.

And a fearsome tiger that devours its prey without spitting out the bones.

Kay Forrest’s brows lifted: "You have three days. Think it over. Now you can leave. Oh, and a reminder, go touch up your makeup. Your lipstick is gone."

Eden Howard bit her lip and turned to leave, staggering.

Was she really being kicked out before even getting the chance to state her case?

That damned Xavier, she wouldn’t let him off.

Watching her leave, Kay Forrest casually tore up the A4 paper in his hands and deleted the WORD document displayed on his computer that showed those few words before he smirked maliciously.

To deal with such people, there’s no need to use intelligence.

At eleven o’clock, Kay Forrest called Jane Quinlan into his office.

Carrying a notebook, Jane Quinlan stood respectfully in front of his desk after entering: "Director Forrest, what can I do for you?"

"Quit playing, what are we eating for lunch? You didn’t feed me enough this morning, I’m a bit hungry."

Jane Quinlan tossed her notebook onto his desk: "It’s your own fault for being picky this morning. If you’re hungry, that’s what you deserve."

"They say women’s hearts are the most poisonous. Look at you; you’re the perfect embodiment of that saying."

Jane Quinlan frowned: "Are you calling me here just to insult me? I think you’re really bored to the point of pain."

Kay Forrest laughed upon seeing her annoyed expression: "I’m really hungry. What shall we eat later?"

"I’m having lunch with Xiao Hua."

"No, from now on, you need to spend your lunches with me."

"Did I sell myself to you?" Jane Quinlan lifted her chin: "Just because you say it, I should just do it? Am I your pet?"

"You’re taking my paycheck, aren’t you being kept by me?"

"I earned it by working hard," she glared at him: "If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving."
