Chapter 1873

“Um, Darius, didn’t we already establish that the manager was the culprit behind all this?” Gordon replied rather sheepishly.

“Don’t try to fool me! I want to know the truth! Tell me, honestly, if you were the one behind this, or were you even involved in this at all, even just a little?” Darius fixated his steely gaze on Gordon’s face, his stare so intense that Gordon could not help shuddering.

Darius knew full well that as the director of the department, Gordon was the only one who possessed full authority, and that there was no way a manager could have pulled off such an impressive feat by tampering with all of Elegante Group’s products without anyone noticing!

Even if he did so, there was no way he would be able to escape Gordon’s hawklike eyes!

Darius was certain that Gordon was at least involved in this somehow and likely received some advantage out of this!

All in all, there was no way that Gordon was not responsible for any of this!

“It wasn’t me!” Gordon protested as calmly as he could. There was no way he could admit the truth to Darius!

“Alright then! I can’t believe how stupid you are to continue clinging to your lies even at a time like this!”

Darius snickered. He deliberately dismissed everyone instead of confronting him in front of his employees to save Gordon’s face.

After all, Gordon was his brother–in–law, and he was hoping that by giving Gordon a chance, he would come clean with the truth!

Even if Gordon was the culprit behind all this, he would still find a way to go easy on Gordon’s punishment, considering that they were relatives by marriage!

However, Gordon still refused to admit it, and as angry as he was, he could not help feeling disappointed in him!

“I’m telling the truth, Darius! This had nothing to do with me at all. Please trust me. I’m innocent,”

Gordon tried to continue lying his way out of this.

“Shut up! Do you think I’m a three–year–old child?” Darius erupted when he heard this, and with a swipe of his arm, a surge of powerful energy barreled straight toward Gordon!

“Thud!”

Gordon did not see this coming at all and could not dodge in time. His entire body was thrown backward against the conference table, letting out a deafening slam as he crumpled onto the ground.

Thankfully, Darius was just trying to let out his anger and did not mean to hurt Gordon at all.

Therefore, apart from looking a little silly from being knocked over like this, Gordon was otherwise unscathed.

“Darius, I’ve already told you this has nothing to do with me! Besides, you’ve already concluded that the manager was behind this, so why are you insisting on letting me take the blame for sabotaging a small company like Elegante Group? Don’t you think you’ve crossed the line here?” Gordon snapped rather indignantly as he picked himself up from the ground.

“You-” Darius‘ expression was dark as he tried his best to control his temper.

As angry as he was, there was nothing more he could do if Gordon continued to deny his involvement.

“Never mind, let’s put this behind us for now! From tomorrow onwards, I want you to work in the Logistics Department. Mister Craig will take over your work here for now!” Darius declared after forcing himself to take a few deep breaths to calm down.

“What?” Gordon could not believe his ears. He thought that after finding a scapegoat to take the blame, he would be able to evade all responsibility, and he never once thought that Darius would refuse to believe him and even punish him by transferring him to another department. This was equivalent to demoting him! One could imagine Gordon’s rage at this!
