Chapter 734 Stick Up for Her
When the time came, it would be a piece of cake for Jayden and Shawn to kick Veronica out of the company. Skyler watched on as Jayden and Shawn were blatantly berating Shirley, and he couldn’t help but feel annoyance surging within him. He glared at Shirley and snapped, “Don’t you want to say something?”
D*mn it! Why do you become a dumb pushover when you are facing other people, but you are so hot-tempered when you are with me?! You only dare to be cocky and arrogant when you’re with me, don’t you?!
Shirley pouted slightly at his tone. Then, she turned to glare at Shawn and Jayden. “I’m here because of Miss Murphy’s order. It’s not up to you to decide whether I should stay or leave!”
Jayden and Shawn froze in disbelief. Apparently, they didn’t expect Shirley to disregard Skyler.
“Hey, do you know who you offended? He is the son of the Robins Family, one of The Four Big Families of Bloomstead! So if you want to ruin your reputation, be my guest, but don’t drag us into your mess!”
Shawn trembled in fear. “You’re fired! Do you hear me?! You’re fired! No one can help you this time.” “Yes!” Jayden echoed.
“Hey—” An enraged Shirley was about to retort when Skyler suddenly spoke, “Oops, that’s too bad. I wanted to sponsor your company for Shirley’s sake, but since you want to fire her, I think I have to withdraw the sponsorship.”
Then, he abruptly rose to his feet, walked to Shirley, wrapped his arm around her neck, and pulled her into his embrace. “Shir, let’s go. It’s just a company. If you like it, I’ll buy it for you.” He was putting on an act by flirting with her.
It was just a tiny company, and the acquisition would not cost much. Skyler could easily buy the company without even batting an eye, but it was such a small company there was no point in him doing so. Moreover, he would not dare to acquire it since it was Veronica’s company.
Shirley instinctively attempted to struggle but stopped when she saw Skyler winking at her discreetly. He was emboldening her and consolidating her position in the company right now. She would be ungrateful and ignorant if she embarrassed him now.
“Okay. I love it,” Shirley echoed, playing along with Skyler.
Although she did not want to owe him a favor, she had no choice. It was apparent that Jayden and Shawn would love to kick her out of the company, and Skyler’s appearance was a blessing to her.
Jayden and Shawn were so dismayed that their jaws almost dropped as they watched blankly as the ‘couple’ left together.
“F*ck! What the hell is going on?!” The astonished Jayden pushed his sliding glasses on the bridge of his nose.
“S-So is Mr. Robins really here to see Shirley?!”
“D*mn! Is Shirley his girlfriend?”
“But isn’t Sofia-something his fiancée?”
“Who cares if she’s Sofia or Tahlia?! Hurry up and chase her, or the company will be doomed!”
Shawn slapped his thigh, hurriedly ran out of the reception room, and stood humbly in front of Shirley and Skyler. “Uh… Excuse me, Mr. Robins.”
Then, he donned a flattering smile and bowed at Shirley. “Shirley, it’s just a misunderstanding. I said those things because I thought you had offended Mr. Robins. I’m so sorry. Jayden and I misjudged the situation. We’re sorry.”
At this moment, Jayden also rushed over and apologized, “Miss Wilson, please forgive us. We said what we said in order to save the company. I’m sorry that we misunderstood your situation. Haha, Mr. Robins, I’m so sorry for letting you see this. It’s so embarrassing.”
“Yes, Mr. Robins, we’re sorry. Please be merciful,” Shawn followed up with a pleading.
Skyler shoved one hand in his pocket and wrapped another around Shirley’s neck while casting a cold gaze at the two men. “Why are you apologizing to me? I don’t think I know you very well.”
Jayden and Shawn exchanged bewildered glances.
“Ah—hahaha! We’re so sorry for ruining the cooperation between us, Shirley.”
“Forgive us, Shirley. We were so worried about the company and hastily arrived at such a conclusion before discussing the matter with you. We’re so sorry.”
