Chapter 1012:
After a quick summary, the PR manager retreated, lowering his head deferentially. With Harlee now in control, resolving the issue was no longer his responsibility.
Jeffâs father, catching the signal from Dina, nodded knowingly.
As Harlee drew nearer, he did something shocking.
He dropped to his knees before her.
âMiss Sanderson, Iâm not here to make trouble. I just need answers! They said you authorized the layoffs. Why was my sonâa model employee who worked diligently and secured his employment not with connections but with competenceâfired?â
Harlee sidestepped to avoid facing Jeffâs father directly.
Her expression hardened, and her tone turned icy and unyielding.
âA model employee, you say? Are we talking about Jeff, the one who was so drug-addled that he caused a hundred-million-dollar loss and framed an intern who had been here for just half a month? Or the Jeff who embezzled two million from last yearâs railway deal, funding his addiction? Perhaps the Jeff who put on a façade of respectability while abusing his wife, child, and elderly parents at home?â
Each revelation left Jeffâs family pale and stunned, as well as the bystanders who had vocally supported them.
Even Dina, who had orchestrated the drama, looked rattled.
Dina couldnât fathom how Harlee had unearthed such damning details. It wasnât just company mattersâHarlee even knew personal secrets.
Dinaâs complexion turned ashen, and a creeping sense of dread consumed her. The whispers among the crowd didnât stop, only intensifying Dinaâs internal turmoil.

âI had no idea Jeff was like that! His family still wants to defend him? He probably overdosed and hallucinated himself off that ledge.â
âNo surprise they refused an autopsy. They mustâve known the truth. What a despicable familyâ¦â
Jeffâs father took a moment to process the shift in the crowdâs sentiment. Moments ago, they were on his side. Now, they voiced disdain.
Behind Harlee, Brentonâs assistant watched with admiration.
After shadowing Harlee for the past few days, he discovered that being an assistant was surprisingly effortless.
Beyond handling a few minor tasks, there was almost nothing else required. No wonder Brenton had feigned exhaustion to convince Harlee to join the company. She truly had a knack for resolving chaos.
Meanwhile, Dina stood frozen, her face void of any color. She dared not look up at Harlee, forcing herself to appear calm, unwilling to admit defeat yet.
Her plan hadnât failed.
As long as Jeffâs family stood firm, she still had a chance to turn the tables.
Jeffâs father finally snapped, throwing down the loudspeaker.
His voice wavered between indignation and fear.
âThis is defamation! I can take legal action against you for this!â
Harleeâs expression remained calm.
âPlease do. Itâll give us the perfect opportunity to uncover the real cause of Jeffâs death.â
