MainNovelChapter 328: Sabine, despite herself, couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration. Shepard, visibly upset, was sitting there with a dark expression. He didn't waste ton pleasantries.
He said, "Don't assI'm clueless about where your loyalties lie, who's really pulling the strings, what you've been up to, and the underhanded things you've pushed your team to carry out. I'm aware of it all." He directed his ire at a senior executive at the forefront of the group, throwing a stack of documents at him. "Look at what you've done!" The executive, one of the people who had met with Rosie before, went pale. His hands shook while he flipped through the documents, which showed the chat history of him asking his people to target Brenna.
He had never imagined that the private conversations on his phone would be exposed like this.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe shock left him speechless, and cold sweat streamed down his face.
The company had long been split into various factions, with internal power struggles happening regularly. The chairman was fully aware of it, but as long as the executives continued bringing in profits, he had chosen to look the other way.
This was the first tthe chairman was behaving like this.
"I'm sorry. I messed up," he said, and after finishing reading the documents, he passed them to the executive next to him.
Marco Boyd, the sales department manager, had built a solid reputation for his stellar performance. His impressive results earned him a generous year-end bonus, and he was widely seen as an essential pillar of the sales team. He led a high-performing group of salespeople whose efforts brought in major profits for the company. The vice president in charge of sales thought highly of him.
He thought that all he had done was encourage a few of his subordinates to stir up strouble and didn't think it was a big deal. Little did he know, he had gotten himself into serious trouble.
Bypassing the company's CEO altogether, the chairman took matters into his own hands-a clear sign that the newly acknowledged daughter of the Harper family wasn't as irrelevant as Rosie had made her out to be. It was now painfully obvious that the chairman adored her and would go to great lengths to protect her.
Now, he deeply regretted his actions. Helping Rosie had been an act of loyalty, nothing more. He hadn't gained a thing from it. And now, he was in trouble because of this.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe believed his luck couldn't have been worse.
"Mr. Harper, please forgive me. I know I made a terrible mistake," he begged Shepard, his voice trembling with desperation. He even thought of dropping to his knees.
Another manager, Bobbi Sugden, who was around his age and had elderly parents and young children to look after, saw his chat records in the documents and was filled with regret. His face turned pale, and he was too stunned to speak.
Bobbi wiped the sweat from his brow, the full weight of his mistake finally sinking in. He should never have trusted Rosie. After all Brenna was Shepard's biological daughter. How could a niece compare to that? Winning first place in a design competition was enough proof of Brenna's talent. And even if she wasn't the most talented, it was clear that the Harper family cherished her deeply. He had been a fool for going against Brenna.
He dropped to his knees and said, "Mr. Harper, I was wrong. I swear I'll never make that kind of mistake again. I let ambition blind me. I'm willing to offer a personal apology to Miss Brenna Harper."
With trembling hands, he passed the documents to the manager from the design department named Lochlan Hinchcliffe.
