Chapter 733 The Truth
Skyler looked down slightly. He bet that Veronica did not want anyone to know about her owning Vincere Games, which explained why she did not bring this up to anyone.
In fact, now was a critical time since Matthew and Veronica were not in the country. If the vengeful Conrad found out about it, he would not spare a small e-sports company even though he found the company too weak to be his opponent.
“No, I don’t know her,” Skyler said. “Call Shirley over. I want to see her.”
Jayden and Shawn wore confused yet agitated expressions as they glanced toward the secretary at the side. “Bring Shirley over.” “Yes.” The secretary nodded, turned around, and went to the conference room.
Shirley reluctantly entered the reception room and saw Skyler sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. He wore a yellow suit with a short punk hairstyle and a pair of simple black studs. He looked charismatic, with a certain wildness to his charm.
No wonder they said that “Chicks dig bad boys.” Even his snobbish image could be evocative. She had to admit that she felt her heart skip a beat when she laid her eyes on him.
“Shirley, what is going on?! Why did you upset Mr. Robins?” “Do you know who Mr. Robins is? Hurry up and apologize to him right now!”
Jayden and Shawn ordered indignantly as they glared at Shirley.
Shirley was baffled and speechless by their reprimands.
On the other hand, Skyler, the party concerned, sat on the sofa leisurely and looked at the three of them quietly with the aura of a big boss. A hint of gloominess flashed in his eyes, and his cold expression frightened Jayden and Shawn. The two men felt a chill down their spines and goosebumps all over their arms.
“Why are you still standing there?! You’ve offended Mr. Robins. That’s your own business! You shouldn’t involve the company in it!”
Jayden felt that the company was established by him, Veronica, and Shawn, and they had spent a tremendous amount of effort to accomplish what they had achieved today. If they were forced back to square one because of Shirley, he would not spare Shirley and Veronica.
“I—” Shirley parted her red lips slightly and was about to say something when Skyler interrupted her deeply, “What’s her position in the company?”
“She manages the company on behalf of our partner,” Shawn explained respectfully while casting a fierce glare at Shirley. It was as if he wished his eyes could emit a laser beam so that all that was left of her would be ashes.
“Oh, I see…” Skyler nodded slightly. He moved his hand, which rested on the sofa, to his knee, and tapped his knee with his fingers. The action seemed peculiar and ambiguous.
“Mr. Robins, please calm down. She is our company’s staff, but she is not our partner. Since she has offended you, we will take responsibility for it. We’ll fire her immediately,” Jayden came forward and made his decision known.
Then, he turned to look at Shawn and signaled him with his expression, fearing that Shawn would not understand his reasoning.
The moment Shawn understood Jayden’s hints, he marched forward and said with a so-called righteous tone, “Don’t worry, Mr. Robins. We will fire her. Wait, we’ll fire her immediately!”
Jayden and Shawn had been attempting to fire Shirley, but since they did not have a reasonable excuse to do so, they could only put her in a difficult position. Now that they had the chance to fire her, they immediately seized this golden opportunity.
They even figured out what to say when Veronica came back. They would say that they were forced to fire Shirley because she had offended Skyler, and Veronica would not be able to refute their decision.
Then, when Shirley was not around, they could freely embezzle the company’s funds, fake the accounts, and even secure their positions in the company while turning Veronica into a mere figurehead.
