Chapter 32 Archer alone was already enough to stir up panic amongst the staff members of
Wolfenden Corp. Now that Faris, Archer's superior, was here, perhaps it would be better off for
Wolfenden Corp. to venture into other businesses from now on.
Sadieâs face was ghastly pale. Faris was Archer's immediate superior! Archer had actually invited a
bigshot like Faris to the company. Was he trying to get her killed? The expressions of the leaders
from the other departments changed drastically as well. Some expressed their panic, fear, and
displeasure.
The chief of the human resources department, River, could not refrain from looking toward Miles
and wondered whether this was Milesâ doing.
River wondered how Archer could be so influential that he could even alert Faris. Also, he wondered
what Sadie had done last night to infuriate Archer to this extent.
Meanwhile, River thought to himself, âDonât ever offend Miles. âPerhaps Sadie will need to retire
from her position after today. Don't ever think about working in this field again from now on!
âNo one from the board of directors is going to back up Sadie anymore from now on!"
Miles was pleasantly surprised in his heart. âIt seems that the little b*tch has offended Archer badly.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have alerted Faris. At the thought of this, he said coldly, âLook at what you
did, Ms. Wolfenden!â
He glanced at the other leaders of different departments and said solemnly, âEveryone, Mr. Cook is
here in person, so this is not a small matter for sure.â
"However, as the CFO of this company, it's only natural that I don't want the company to fall
because of personal reasons!
âI will figure out a way to appease Mr. Cook. On the other hand, this matter must be reported to the
board of directors so that the board of directors can rule a punishment for Ms. Wolfenden!
âBy then, I seek your help not to look the other way but recount the incident in its true form to the
board of directors!"
River was the first to respond by saying, âDonât worry, Mr. Lawson, our human resources department
won't give a false account. We will tell the whole truth for sure!â
âThe planning department too!â The leader of the planning department chimed in as well in
haste.Miles was very proud of himself in his heart, but his expression appeared unpleasant. âMr.
Cook is here, so we're going downstairs to calm him first.â Quite a number of people stood up right
away and followed Miles to leave the boardroom quickly.Few people remained in the boardroom to
wait for Sadieâs instructions for the next step.The manager of the projects department, Sean, was
frustrated. He scolded softly, âMs. Wolfenden..."Sadie raised her head with a fatigued expression.
She waved her hand dismissively and said, âI figure that I canât continue to hold the general
manager position anymore. The board of directors will call for a meeting this afternoon at the
earliest.âBy then, the general manager position will most probably be given to Miles. Thank you for
all your support in me all this time, everyone.âDonâ't worry, everyone. Even though I'll be leaving the
company, my father will still be here, so Miles won't have the audacity to be ruthless to all of
you.âSean was about to say something when Sadie raised her hand to stop him. Soon afterward, she
said, âAll of you may go downstairs. I'll be right behind you.â Sean realized that it would be
inappropriate for him to comment further upon witnessing the situation. In truth, he had always
admired Sadieâs capability. Otherwise, he would never have supported Sadie all this time.It was a
waste that Miles was in the company too. When it came to schemes and the worldâs ways, Sadie was
still lacking in experience.Everyone, including Kayson, walked out of the boardroom.Sadie was
caught in a daze as she looked at the deserted boardroom. A moment later, she packed up the
documents on the table with a dejected expression. Kayson stood next to Sean in front of the
elevator. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and his gaze was gloomy. Sean suddenly said, âI
personally admire Ms. Wolfenhen'âs capability very much. What do you think of her, Mr. Yarde?â
Kayson did not know Sadie well enough, but he was convinced she was competent since she had
overpowered a cunning senior like Miles at her age. âShe's relatively capable, naturally. Otherwise,
how could Ms. Wolfenden possibly be promoted to the general manager position before Mr.
Lawson?â âYou're right... However, it takes more than just oneâs capability to run such a big
company...â Sean heaved a sigh. He was bitter yet frustrated.Kayson paused for a moment before he
said. âThat Mr. Cook may not necessarily be looking for trouble here. I think it's a bit too early to be
pessimistic now.âSean could not help laughing in spite of himself upon hearing that. âYou're so
naive..."The elevator arrived, and a group of people entered it.Faris was seated on a sofa with Archer
whose face was swollen from the beating he had taken.Meanwhile, Faris felt extremely anxious
because he would need to properly manage the situation today to appease the angry Sadie. That
was the only way for him to convince Kayson to change his perception of him.Meanwhile, a group
of people walked out of the elevator.The frontmost man had a stern expression on his face as he led
the others to approach them quickly.âMr. Cook!â
Faris was aware of how the manager of Wolfenden Corp.'s projects department, Sean, looked
However, he did not have any recollection of the man before him."Hello, you are...â Miles said
politely in haste, âI'm the CFO of Wolfenden Corp., and my name is Miles Lawson. You may address
me as Lawson!â âSo, it's you, huh, Mr. Lawson! I've long desired to meet you! I heard so much about
you!"He knew Kayson was working in Wolfenden Corp., so he was afraid of offending anyone from
Wolfenden Corp.Miles said as if he was overwhelmed by Farisâ attention, âMr. Cook, you make it
sound so serious! It's me who has long been looking forward to meeting you!"He was delighted in
his heart. It seemed that Faris had a rather good impression of him.Faris asked, âMr. Lawson, may I
inquire where Ms. Wolfenden is? Is she reluctant to meetMiles was momentarily stunned. Soon
afterward, he said in a regretful tone, âMr. Cook, Ms. Wolfendenâs individual behavior is not related
to the company and our business. We hope youcan show your magnanimousness by forgiving her
and not taking it to heart!"âDonât worry. Our company will acknowledge our mistake sincerely and
try our best to make it up to Mr. Gustin regarding Ms. Wolfendenâs mistake...â Miles had already
seen Archer, whose face was swollen from the beating, and realized that Sadie was doomed!Faris
was stunned. âWhat the heck is going on!?"He furrowed his eyebrows and was about to inquire
further when the second batch of people walked out of the elevator. Faris looked over, and his
expression changed when he saw Kayson amongst the crowd of people. He disregarded Miles,
River, and the others instantly and jogged over to Sean, Kayson, and the others who had just exited
the elevator..As the projects department manager, Sean could remember Faris very well. Hence, he
could not help feeling slightly anxious at the sight of Faris running toward him.Sean called out. âMr.
Cook!" Faris nodded, and his gaze landed on Kayson right away. He appeared to be slightly
emotional. âMr. Yar-"
