?Chapter 282:


    “Later,” a female employee said, nervously eyeing Brian before rushing on. “Juliet Mendez’s sister arrived, who happens to be Holden Ellsworth’s partner. Holden didn’t just make Rachel Marsh kneel; he also…”


    Brian interrupted, his voice cold, “What else?”


    The employee trembled and added, “He had his men handle her forcibly, all while Holden, struck by Rachel’s allure, wished to keep her close.”


    At that moment, the cup in Brian’s grip crumbled to pieces. The room’s upants flinched, their gazes fixed on the floor, silence hanging heavily in the air. Ronald was quick to approach and began tidying the mess on the desk. He alone understood the depth of Brian’s fury.


    “Is it true that Holden harassed Rachel?” Brian’s expression was stone-cold, his voiceced with fury.


    The employees, recognizing the severity of the situation, confirmed the harassment by nodding collectively.


    With the questioning concluded, Ronald dismissed them. “You may return to your duties now.”


    “Understood.”


    As soon as they exited, Brian’s anger erupted. “Compile all relevant details on Holden Ellsworth and schedule a board meeting for his dismissal. He has no ce in mypany.”


    Ronald affirmed with a nod. “Certainly.”


    “Also, arrange for Juliet Mendez’s immediate resignation. Instruct HR to terminate her contract on grounds of breach and demandpensation.”


    “Compensation?”


    The White Group’s contracts were meticulous about stiptions and penalties. As long as it didn’t harm thepany’s interests or cross a line beyond forgiveness, they rarely enforced the contract forpensation. Per the standard agreement, the starting penalty was $200,000. Considering Juliet’s position, her penalty might exceed $500,000.


    Ronald believed the penalty was harsh, yet it wasn’t the end of it.


    “Furthermore, file a police report for assault.”


    ???????????? ???????? ???? ?????????ν?????????????


    Juliet found herself without any tears left, overwhelmed by the consequences. Her arrogance had indeed backed her into a corner. She had often exploited her sister’s connection with Holden to intimidate her subordinates, engaging in both verbal and physical assaults. Her retribution was now unfolding, leaving her no ground to im unfair treatment. She was entirely the architect of her own misfortune. Escape from her actions was impossible.


    Ronald inquired, “Mr. White, what should we do about the others?” He meant those who had exacerbated the situation by their presence and inaction.


    “Fire them,” Brian said.


    “Understood.”


    “Also, I need a meeting with all heads of departments and branch managers.”


    “I’ll set it up right away.”


    In the elevator, the female employees each took a deep breath, theirplexions ghostly. Brian’s authority had been clearly daunting. Yet, they retained their positions.


    Being let go from the White Group would make it highly unlikely for them to secureparable employment elsewhere in the city.
