Chapter 305

Zeb and Cindy traded glances of disbelief as well.

Frank really was the majority shareholder of Grande Pharma?!

Zeb was especially gritting his teeth in fury, cursing his own luck. “Fuck! That manwhore has no right! It should’ve been me, not him!”

At the same time, Hugo finally realized the gravity of the situation and hurried to Frank to apologize earnestly. “Mr. Lawrence? Mr. Lawrence? Please, I understand I’ve made a mistake. I’ll dispose of the defective pills right away! Please just give me a chance!”

Frank simply shook his head. “That’s unnecessary. It’s time to vacate your position.”

Maggots like Hugo would only quicken the company’s corruption. If anything, it was better to count on hiring graduates fresh from college than hope for such men to change.

“W–What do you mean?” Hugo gulped.

“You don’t get it?” Frank asked icily. “I’m saying you’re no longer needed as a warehouse manager.”

“You!!!” Hugo pointed at Frank’s nose as he bellowed, “You have no right to fire me!” Frank shrugged nonchalantly. “Well, you can stay, but you’d have to start over from the bottom–as a janitor, to be specific.”

He could afford Hugo that much leniency for Vicky’s sake.

Who knew that if he did his best, they might actually see fit to promote him back to management.

However, that was an insult through and through in Hugo’s eyes. “Who the fuck are you to tell me to be a junior?! I’m a manager of Grande Corp!”

Wheeling on Vicky, “Ms. Turnbull, I’ve served Grande Corp for years! How could you let this brat bully me?”

Vicky shrugged. “Did he? Can’t see it. Run along now, and wait while we investigate this mess.”

“What…?”

Hugo never thought that Vicky was so cold that she would attack him over some manwhore! “My father worked with your grandfather to build this empire!” he snarled. “Even if you don’t care about me, you should show my father due respect!”

“Don’t worry. I’m telling your father right away,” Vicky said and turned toward the two security guards.

“Why are you just standing there? Take him to the security office right now. He’s now under investigation.”

“Oh… Yes, Ms. Turnbull.”

Both security guards were actually left spacing out by the turn of events.

It was almost a fantasy, seeing a usually high–and–mighty manager being told off like that! Naturally, neither of the security guards were nice to Hugo either.

Vicky was right there to back them up, and judging from things, Hugo was most definitely going to be fired.

Even if he were to be hired again, the security guards might outrank him!

With that, both security guards pressed their hands on Hugo’s shoulder, even as he cried furiously, “Who do you think you are?! Don’t touch me!”

“Shut up!” One of the security guards smacked Hugo in the head with his baton before dragging him away with his partner.

Zeb was left at a loss as he looked on–his plans to buy Rejuvenation Pills from Hugo just went up in smoke!
