Chapter 91: Arrested

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After being shamed and scolded by the company’s deputy general manager and causing such a huge misunderstanding, Jane felt incredibly embarrassed, and she couldn’t help but turn red and hot.

But at this moment, a clueless colleague hurried over from behind, and she said to Jane deferentially, “Ms. Harper, I’ve just reserved a private room at the Lion for the celebration party tonight. Should we invite Cheyenne... uh, Miss Carter too?”

This colleague’s words were like a sharp knife piercing Jane’s heart once again.

“Hah, what’s there to celebrate? Ms. Harper isn’t getting promoted at all. This is a misunderstanding!”

“Before there was even an official appointment letter of promotion, Ms. Harper happily said that she wanted to treat us to a meal. We thought it was real, but it turns out there’s no such thing at all!”

“I bet it’ll be hard for Ms. Harper to be promoted again now that Miss Carter has become the general manager!”

“Hah, promotion? I bet she won’t be able to stay in the company for long!”

Those who were still sucking up to Jane in the morning had now completely changed their attitudes after seeing that she had no hope of promotion. Meanwhile, Cheyenne Carter, whom she had just severely humiliated in the morning, had become the general manager. They felt that Jane’s good days had come to an end, so they started mocking her instead.

Only by condemning Jane could they make Cheyenne forgive them for their offensive behavior prior to her promotion!

The colleague who gave Jane a set of expensive skincare products and an envelope of money was overwhelmed with regret, and she immediately made Jane return it. “Ms. Harper, sorry, but I suddenly remembered that I was just showing you that set of skincare products this morning. I wasn’t meant to be a gift, so you’d better return it to me!”

Facing the drastic change in the attitudes of her colleagues, Jane’s face turned pale.

The feeling of being surrounded by her colleagues and hearing their snide remarks was something that Cheyenne used to experience all the time. But now, it was Jane’s turn. Cheyenne was pleased.

“Don’t be too arrogant! Even if I’m not being promoted, I’m still a deputy manager and your immediate superior! Are you people sick of your jobs?

“Cheyenne is now our general manager, but I used to be her assistant, and we’re on good terms with each other. We can always bury the hatchet, and I’ll be valued highly by her! Are you people so certain that I won’t be promoted? If I make a comeback one day, I won’t let a single one of you off!” Jane was extremely assertive as she glared at them coldly with narrowed eyes.

When she said that, many people’s hearts began to palpitate while their eyes began to get shifty.

While some of them were regretting their decision to make a stand too soon, a police siren resounded, and a police car pulled over at the Brilliance Corporation office entrance. A few police officers walked out and headed toward Jane.

After showing Jane the warrant and their identification documents, a police officer said sternly, “Are you Ms. Jane Harper? We received a call from your company. You are being charged for abuse of authority for personal gains, embezzlement of company assets, selling confidential intellectual property belonging to the company, and bribery. Please cooperate with our investigation and come with us to the police station!”

The words of the police officer were like a thunderbolt that stunned all the employees speechless, making them stared wide-eyed at the scene.

Jane turned pale and began to lose control of herself.

“No... You are making false accusations! I didn’t do...” Jane Harper denied incoherently. Suddenly, she dashed outside and tried to flee.

However, two police officers soon pressed her to the ground, then handcuffed her and took her away.

After Jane was taken away while crying and the sounds of the police siren vanished, the people around snapped back to their senses and began cursing loudly.

“Oh my god! I didn’t expect Jane Harper to be such a person. She’s done so much evil and is now being taken away by the police. She really deserves it!”

“Hmph, I’ve known for a long time that she isn’t a good person! She tries to coerce us into bribing her all day, and she treats me hostilely like I owe her whenever I don’t bribe her!”

“She’s really brazen too. She’s so ugly, and she tries to take everything she can! She’s the scum of our company!”

“Hah, she even said she would treat us to a meal to celebrate her promotion. Tsk, this is retribution! She only has herself to blame for being so complacent and bullying Cheyenne so badly. She thought she was such a big shot!”

“Yes, exactly!”

...

If Jane were still here now, she probably would have died from being infuriated by these insults and mockery!

The matter of Jane Harper being taken away by the police for further investigation caused an uproar in the Brilliance Corporation and gave many something to talk about.

——

Cheyenne’s promotion to the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation soon spread throughout the city.

Previously, the Brilliance Corporation became the company that many wanted to cooperate with because of its close ties with the Stardust Corporation. Thus, the new general manager of the Brilliance Corporation would naturally attract a ton of attention.

Moreover, Cheyenne was the founder and used to be CEO of the Brilliance Corporation. And now, she had once again risen to the position of general manager. She immediately attracted countless discussions and speculations, causing her to become the talk of the town.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As the former owner of the Brilliance Corporation and the people who kicked Cheyenne and her family out, the Carters naturally received this news very quickly.

In addition to their extreme shock and surprise, the Carters were visibly upset.

“I never thought that that bitch would become the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation! She’s too lucky, huh?”

“Hmph, she must have used some dirty tricks to climb up to that position!”

“Hah, didn’t she collude with Flynn Davis previously to set us up and snatch the Brilliance Corporation back?”

“Now I remember. This must be a scheme they hatched long ago! They planned to first take the Brilliance Corporation away from us before promoting that bitch! So heinous!”

“Damn it, that bitch! Two days ago, she pretentiously came to the Carter Corporation to assert her dominance!”

...

The Carters gathered in the hall were viciously cursing at Cheyenne, making malicious remarks about her out of resentment and jealousy.

Bryce clenched his jaw and grimaced in extreme rage.

He used to be the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation, but Cheyenne Carter had now snatched it away from him!

Bryce looked at his right hand that was in a cast due to her loser husband breaking his wrist.

I, Bryce Carter, swear that I will never let Cheyenne Carter and her husband off!
