Chapter 55 Terminate All Of Them
Savannah figured out that Yona might have loved the wrong person.
However, Savannah would be happy and contented if she could stay at a place like that. To her, it was like living in heaven. She turned to Emmett and asked him, “Can I be buried somewhere near the sea after I die?”
Emmett was stunned. “As long as you’re my wife, I’ll have you buried anywhere you like,” he replied.
After saying that, his face darkened and he headed towards the car. Savannah followed after him while slapping her mouth.
What the hell am I thinking? No one’s going to die. I want to live a long life. I want to see Freddie get married and have a family of his own.
Savannah got into the car and put on the seatbelt. Emmett was staring at her all the time.
She realized she had misspoken, so she quickly cast a bright smile at him. “I was just saying that for fun. You can have me buried anywhere after I die. It doesn’t have to be a nice place like this…”
Emmett instantly pulled her closer and covered her mouth. “Stop talking nonsense! Don’t say that word again. Say that again and I’ll throw you into the sea right away.”
Savannah shivered as she heard his words. She broke free from his arms. “Alright. I won’t say that anymore. Don’t worry. I’m not going to die…”
Savannah accidentally spat out the word, once again. She quickly covered her mouth with her hands.
What should I do with this woman? Emmett glared at her with anger. After a few seconds, he started the car and didn’t say a word along their way back.
Why is he angry with me? Is he afraid that I’ll die?
So, someone actually cares about me. She covered her mouth as she giggled.
When the car sped off, the strong wind blew and the petals of the daisies were like purple fairies, flying in the air.
After they went back from Seaside Villa, everything returned to normal.
They were trying their best to play their roles. To outsiders, there wasn’t much influence on Mashion’s operation after what had happened. In fact, the company had an increased profit that month and it was all credited to Savannah.
However, Savannah was well aware that the real contributor was Emmett as he sorted out everything for her. He was the decision-maker. She merely executed what he had planned.
Savannah had got some inspiration for the upcoming Fashion Week. She planned to design a fashion series under a vintage floral theme, complemented by bird-patterned embroidery, to bring out Mashion’s unique fashion sense of gracefulness and transcendence.
She was working all day long on her new laptop. She created a sampler with professional design software.
The pink laptop was a gift from the company. She got it after they came back from Seaside Villa.
When Javon handed the laptop to her, she was dumbstruck. She never thought that the company would gift her a high-end laptop.
Before that, she was thinking to save money and get herself a secondhand laptop.
Savannah was excited. After she installed the system, she browsed through her online studio when there was no one in the office. There were a few comments left a month ago. Some online sellers wanted her to design small logos for their business platforms.
Savannah replied to the comments, hoping she could secure a few customers.
It was not difficult for her to design small logos. Besides, she could earn some side income from that. Therefore, she would never give up on her online studio.
After spending hours on the design software, she was exhausted, so she surfed the other websites for relaxation. She came across an article about the police investigating and prosecuting a factory that manufactured and sold counterfeit fashion brands. A large number of counterfeit products were seized.
Below the article, there was a video clip of the police destroying the counterfeits. Staring at the screen, Savannah couldn’t help but think of Glenn and Maisie. She wondered if they had been sentenced.
Glenn had committed serious crimes. Firstly, he committed the crime of assault. Furthermore, he was charged with counterfeiting.
Savannah searched online for more articles about that news. There was nothing about Brooklyn. Glenn was held responsible for all the crimes.
Eventually, Glenn’s crime of assault was perceived as an act of revenge against the person in charge of the brand after the company discovered his act of counterfeiting and held him responsible for the crime.
Brooklyn managed to keep herself out of the chaos. Most probably, the Quaker family had used its influential power to cover Brooklyn.
Despite what Clara had done, Agatha still let her go. Agatha just asked Clara to return the money. Although the latter promised to return two million, she had only managed to return half a million by then.
Who does she think she is? Why is she taking so long to return the money? And now Emmett and I have to collect the remaining debt from her.
As a matter of fact, Clara and her daughter had gotten themselves involved in commercial crimes. Perhaps to the Quaker family, it was an internal affair as there was nothing more important than the family’s reputation.
Emmett must have taken it that way too. After all, he is part of the Quaker family. If anything bad happened to the family, it’d do him no good.
Savannah heaved a sigh and shut down her laptop. There was nothing else she could do about it. She felt unfair, but she couldn’t think of a better solution.
She stood up and stretched herself. There was a document on Emmett’s office table. It was about the personnel arrangement. She picked up the document and skimmed through it.
Savannah was shocked to find out that the company was going to dismiss more than twenty employees.
What is going on? Is the company in the red? But I’d have known if the company is at a loss.
Just when she was puzzled by thoughts, Emmett entered the room and saw her holding the document in her hand. “Since when have you been interested in the company’s management?” he asked.
Savannah swiftly put down the document and gave a smile. “I was just stretching myself and looking around.”
“I see.” Emmett seated himself at his office table and handed the document to Savannah. “I want to see the manager of Human Resource Department. We have to get rid of all the employees listed on the document.”
Savannah received the document. She froze for a few seconds before she asked, “Why are we dismissing so many employees? Is the company having financial problems?”
Emmett gave her a speechless look. “Do you want to deal with people like Glenn and Maisie again?”
Savannah shook her head vigorously.
“Then we have to fire all of them to get rid of the rats. After that, we can work with peace of mind.”
Savannah finally understood what Emmett was trying to do. All the people listed on the document were spies that Brooklyn planted in the company. Looking at the name list, Savannah felt chills run down her spine. “Are you sure they’re all Brooklyn’s accomplices? Anyhow, you have to dismiss them with a valid reason, don’t you?”
“I want all of them to be terminated, including anyone who seems to be suspicious. I will not condone anyone of such sorts in the company. Don’t worry about it. Human Resource Department will come up with something to get it done. That’s their job.”
