Clarence said, “Mr. Barret, don't be so tensed. We’re just chitchatting. Calm down, please.”
“I... I’m pretty calm. You deliberately...”
While they were talking, Justin’s assistant has brought Winnie’s assistant back.
Her assistant had never seen such a scene before, so she stammered to greet Clarence, “Hi, Mr... Mr. Conrad...”
Then she looked over at Justin. For a moment, she didn’t know how to address him. Her lips parted, but she couldn’t
utter any word.
Justin wasn’t angry. He said friendly, “Where have you been just now?”
The assistant answered, “I... I just got a phone call and was told I needed to cooperate with the change of the
ceremony schedule, so I... I went there...”
“Was there anyone else besides you?”
“Yeah, all the assistants of the Conrad Group’s artists went there.”
Justin turned to ask his assistant, “What happened?”
His assistant answered, “I didn’t get the notice that something had been changed on the schedule. Nathan is in
charge of this matter. I’ll call him over.”
Nathan had been in charge of the charity banquet. Upon hearing the news, he rushed over.
He answered, “The schedule is fine. Nothing happened to it.”
Winnie’s assistant said in confusion, “But... we’ve waited there for a long time.”
“Who informed you to go there?”
“It was the deputy manager of the administration department.”
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have waited for them for such a long time.
Nathan pulled out his phone and dialed the deputy manager’s number, but his phone was off.
Chassell said, “It’s a problem of the internal communication in Conrad Group. You won’t blame it on me, will you?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat’s so ridiculous!”
Winnie said in a cold tone, “If you hadn’t bribed him, how would he find an excuse to send my assistant away?”
Chassell looked over at Justin. “Mr. Conrad, have you seen it clearly? She’s slandering me in this way. Am I nuts?
Why would I bribe the deputy manager of the administration department?”
Justin thought for a moment. He said to Winnie, “For the time being, we can’t find the deputy manager. Let’s leave
this matter aside first. I’ll give you an explanation after the investigation.”
Winnie pursed her lips tightly. She could read between the lines of Justin’s words. It was the anniversary celebration
of Conrad Group. He didn’t hope she made a fuss here.
However, the scumbag Chassell sickened her so much.
Once he left this door, he would only be more brazen
Although Winnie wasn’t afraid of him, she worried that this jerk might do something to Channing.
Hence, she closed her eyes for a second and inhaled. “No. I’ll call the police. It’s not the first time Chassell Barret
harasses me. He has appeared at my door several times and tried to assault me. The security guards of my
community are the witnesses.”
Justin didn’t respond; he seemed to be thinking over it.
Chassell laughed in his heart. He didn’t think the security guards’ testimony would be a menace to him at all.
With a little bit of manipulation, he could turn this matter into a sex scandal.
The police wouldn’t care about such a matter at all.
Hence, Chassell said, “Sure. Go ahead to call the police. Anyway, I...”
Before he finished speaking, they heard a loud bang at the door together with a man’s cry in pain.
Everyone in the room turned to see what happened.
A man was lying on the floor with bruises on his face. He was crawling backward in panic.
Soon, Darnell’s figure appeared in their sight again.
Nathan looked at the man on the floor. “Oh, here you are, Mr. Shannon.” It was the deputy manager of the
administration department.
As soon as Chassell saw him, his expression changed dramatically. He looked extremely livid.
Mr. Shannon struggled to stand up but failed. He crawled to Clarence in evident fear. “Mr. Conrad... Mr. Conrad, I
was bewitched. I have... I have refused him, but he threatened me. He said he would work with Conrad Group soon.
If I don’t listen to him, he will make me lose my job. Mr. Conrad, it’s my bad. Please forgive me!”
All people knew that no one dared to play any tricks when Clarence was in charge of Conrad Group.
Since he quit, on the surface, nothing had happened in Conrad Group. However, the employees became relaxed
and bolder without the suppression, and Justin was quite gentle and easygoing.
Mr. Shannon was threatened this time because Justin had become the CEO of Conrad Group. Secondly, he also
wanted to make money.
As soon as he sensed something wrong, he ran away. However, he was caught as soon as he hid in the basement.
Clarence looked calm and emotionless, “Why are you telling me things about Conrad Group?”
Mr. Shannon reacted pretty quickly. He immediately turned to Justin. “Young Master Justin! Young Master Justin,
please give me a chance!”
Justin heaved a sigh in silence. He said to Chassell, “Mr. Barret, do you have anything else to say?”
Stella chimed in, “Mr. Barret, are you going to say that Winnie and Mr. Shannon colluded to slander you?”
Before Chassell answered, Mr. Shannon immediately said, “I have evidence. He transferred the money to me this
morning. Although he used a different account, you can find the record as long as you look into the funds in his
name. Besides... I’ve recorded his conversation with me.”
Upon hearing it, Chassell parted his lips but couldn’t utter a beep.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJustin said, “Mr. Barret, since so, I don’t think it’s necessary for us to partner.”
As he spoke, he looked over at Winnie. “With Mr. Shannon as the witness, Conrad Group will support you. After the
party is over, I’ll go to the police station with you.”
Winnie knew that Justin was offering her an excuse to let go of this matter for now.
He said he would accompany her to the police station later. If she insisted on calling the police now, that would be
over the line.
Winnie was still an employee of Conrad Group, so she could only nod in agreement. “Okay. Thanks, Mr. Conrad.”
Justin checked the time and said to the others. “The ceremony is starting soon. Let’s go.”
Chassell walked up to him. “Excuse me, Mr...”
Without looking at him, Justin said in a gentle but severe tone, “Mr. Barret, you should know how important this
anniversary celebration is for Conrad Group.”
Chassell withdrew his steps, gritting his teeth.
After Justin was gone, Clarence glanced at Nathan. The latter understood and nodded slightly.
Winnie’s assistant fetched her high heels back.
They walked out of the dressing room together.
Only Chassell, Mr. Shannon, and Nathan were left in the dressing room.
Mr. Shannon looked at Nathan and pleaded, “Mr. Lance, please put on good words for me...”
Nathan said, “You should know Mr. Conrad well. I can’t do anything.”
“But... But... Conrad Group’s current CEO is Young Master Justin, isn’t it? Mr. Conrad said it has nothing to do with
him...”
Nathan didn’t answer. Instead, he turned around and looked over at Chassell. “Do you think so too, Mr.
Barret?”
