Chapter 269 A stunned Timothy muttered, “Mr. Tompkins? How did it happen?”

He had met Henry’s father a few times. An honest and sincerè man with very few words, Mr. Tompkins

had always been meticulous in his work and was the type of hard-working worker in his company.

Generally speaking, he wouldn’t have made such a huge mistake that would cost him his job.

“That’s my question as well. My father is a cautious person who has made almost no mistakes in his unit

for almost thirty years. After this sudden investigation, my old man has locked himself in the room and

refused to come out.”

“Didn’t they tell the reason why he’s fired?” Tessa asked.

“They did, saying that he had violated their code of conduct. They went through a bunch of stuff,

including his cell phone and computer. In the end, they came up with a software and called it the

evidence. They’re simply unreasonable!” The more Henry thought about it, the angrier he became.

“Then, did you try to ask?” Tessa asked again. “For an issue like this, you have to confront them

personally to make things clear. They can’t just frame the innocent.”

“Of course I did, and I went straight after my dad told me about it. Not only did they not give me an

answer, they even said that I was disrupting their company’s protocol and wanted to call the cops on me.

Unreasonable!” he said in a resigned manner.

Today, he had made a few trips back and forth, but he was thrown out every time without even the

chance to explain anything. He even pulled some strings and went inside to look for the company owner

directly, but still, nothing could be done.

After hearing everything, Tessa and Timothy exchanged glances with each other.

Somehow, they felt that this issue had a striking resemblance to what had happened to Timothy today.

The only difference was that the evidence provided by the university was weak, which was how Timothy

avoided being expelled.

On the other hand, what happened to Mr. Tompkins was sudden and the other party was unreasonable

to have fired him without listening to any justifications.

The other party really had evidence in their hands, and even if all three of them felt that this incident was

weird, they couldn’t say what was wrong about it.

Patting Henry’s shoulder, Tessa comforted. “It will be fine. Maybe it’s just a misunderstanding. When the

truth comes to light very soon, they’ll definitely allow Mr. Tompkins back to work.”

“That will be the best, but I’m worried that his company won’t admit their mistake. There isn’t a company

who would voluntarily admit their mistake and not let their employees take the blame,” Henry said,

helpless. “Moreover, even though my dad doesn’t speak much, he’s very stubborn. Even if they come

and look for him after giving him the boot, he would never return as well because he’s a very proud

person. Still, he had worked in that company for so many years and has developed feelings for it. Always

busy with work, he must be upset now that he suddenly lost his job, and I think it will be difficult for him to

snap out of it.”.

Tessa was silent for a few seconds; she happened to understand this kind of feeling. For sure, he would

be feeling upset because when Nicholas wanted her to return back then, she had also turned him down

directly.

After a sigh, she then commented, “You shouldn’t worry so much. Mr. Tompkins will be fine. It’s not a big

deal if he has an early retirement since you are capable of providing for them. You can even let them go

on vacations.”

Nodding in agreement, Henry responded, “I think the same as well. I’ll speak to him again when I get

back.”

On the other hand, Timothy patted his shoulder without saying anything. Sometimes between best

friends, there was absolutely no need to say anything extra when just one small gesture was the best

encouragement.

Casting the both of them a grateful look, Henry recovered his spirit and energy. “Okay, I’m alright. Let’s

get back to work. There are many things to get done today.”

“Wait a moment, you guys can’t go in. Who are you people?”

From outside the office, a commotion had started.

“Get your boss out here,” a very rough, loud voice boomed.

“Sir, do you have any business here? May I ask if you have an appointment?” the receptionist asked.

“Why does a small sh*tty company need an appointment? I want to see him right now; otherwise, I’ll tear

down this garbage company of yours,” the man threatened.

As the man sounded really vulgar, Timothy couldn’t help but furrow his brows and exchange a look with

Henry. Turning back to Tessa, he said, “Tess, stay inside for now. I’m going outside to check it out with

Henry.”
