Chapter 150
Beyond the Divorce
The Evidence I faced the suppliers fearlessly while maintaining my composure.
âEveryone here had contracts with Matthew.
Each payment and the obligations of both parties were clear.
Do you think those contracts are just pieces of paper? âEach contract and payment was complete.
Shouldnât you approach Matthew if you face payment delays? Didnât he pay you all?â Someone shouted, âThere are still many outstanding payments!â I scoffed.
âYou dare to admit theyâre outstanding payments? Why are you here to ask for them now? Do you need to beg for money because youâre tight on finances? How have you done business for so long.
with this attitude?!â I turned to Carol, who handed me a stack of documents.
I slammed them on the table, causing them to slide everywhere.
âDo you think you were so perfect? You all cut corners and compromised quality for your contracts with Matthew.
Should I bring the developers in to discuss this or report it to the relevant authorities for investigation?
âMaybe I should invite the property owners to join us.
I have a long list of names right here!â I chuckled, You may have heard about me loving lawsuits.
I even hired an unbeatable lawyer.
If your methods are strong enough to prevail, I will settle your accounts without owing you a cent.â The meeting room fell silent as I turned to leave, saying, âIf there are no objections, please leave.
Mr.
Adrian, please terminate all contracts with everyone here.
They donât deserve to work with me.â Josh looked at me as if he was dissatisfied with the outcome.
âWâWait, Ms.
Chloe! Are you saying todayâs meeting- Someone interjected, âYeah, Mr.
Josh said weâll get paid today!â âMr.
Josh?!â I stopped and questioned.
Yes, he promised Tanum Corporation would settle all outstanding payments today.
Itâs the companyâs obligation!â I stared at the disappointed suppliers.
âMr.
Josh said that, huh? Itâs my company, and I donât need an outsider to decide for mer Freturned to the table and questioned Josh, âWhose orders are you following? How are you so confident I must settle the accounts today?â Josh appeared flustered as he avoided my gaze.
He stammered, âIâI followed your orders, of course.â âMy orders? When did I say Iâd take over Matthewâs mess?â I didnât back down.
âWho are you working for?â â1-â¦â Josh was somewhat embarrassed.
âWhat do you mean? WâWhy are you suddenly blaming me? Iâve worked tirelessly for you these past few days.â âIt seems Iâve wronged you, Josh,â I said, âI wanted to protect your reputation, but I guess everyone must see how hardworking youâve been!â I called for Carol, and she connected my phone to the computer.
Then, she played a recording through the monitor of Josh and Melanieâs conversation.
Josh bolted to his feet and focused on the screen before slumping back into his chair.
âJosh, you told me you wanted to stand out, so I gave you a chance.
However, you mistook my kindness.
for weakness and repaid it with betrayal! You conspired against your employer.
How can you expect a proper future with such behavior? âYou disrupted my work routine for half a month.
I have enough evidence to get you into serious trouble.
You better leave with these people before I change my mind!â I glared at Josh.
He paled with fear and got up, lowering his head in shame.
Then, he left the meeting room without a word while the rest followed suit.
My employees cheered as they seemed relieved now.
However, I didnât feel the same as them and asked Benjamin to gather the rest of the employees in the meeting room.
