Chapter 201 Marcus To The Rescue
Yvonne smiled coyly and said, “I’m just afraid that he’s not that capable. After all, it’s Pollerton Bank that we’re talking about. Christian, don’t worry about it too much. My husband won the bid as well. Let me just ask him to give you some of the business projects.”
Christian finally returned to his arrogant self and let out a snort. “That could work. The eighth branch of the Wilson family truly works together. I can just easily find an opportunity elsewhere if I can’t get one here. Even if you don’t give us any business projects, we have thousands of them lining up.”
“Haven’t you always said you’re incredible, Donald? Come on and drag me down from being the general manager of the Loan Department then! I’d like to see if you can control everything,” Lily snickered.
Samuel let out a chilling laugh and said nothing else as he transfixed a gaze at Donald in an attempt to analyze the man.
However, he learned nothing.
A man let out a chortle outside the door and said, “I’m sorry. He really can control everything.”
A middle-aged man entered the room. He was none other than the general manager of all departments in Pollerton Bank, Marcus Cooper!
Even though Marcus did not understand Donald’s true identity, he knew perfectly well what the man was capable of.
After all, Donald had subdued Alex and took out a premium black card in front of him. Not only that, but Donald had also gone up against powerful people like Sixten Campbell and Akio Ono.
Despite all those seemingly crazy moves, Donald was still well and alive.
On the other hand, Sixten was already dead.
Hence, Marcus dared not offend Donald.
“Mr. Cooper, why are you here?” Lily was startled at the sight of the man.
She had only managed to rise to her current position thanks to Marcus.
Marcus paid no heed to the woman. Instead, he bowed deeply at Donald before finally turning to regard Lily and said, “You are fired. Go on to HR to calculate your compensation. Just tell them it was me who gave out the order.”
All colors drained from Lily’s face right then.
She had paid a dear price to climb to the position, ranging from attending countless social events to sleeping with clients, not to forget her struggle when she tried to persuade her clients to bank with Pollerton Bank.
She had gone through a lot to get to where she was right then. Hence, she could not accept the fact that she had just been fired for no apparent reason.
“I’m going to sue you at the Labor Bureau!” Lily hollered.
Marcus shrugged nonchalantly. “It doesn’t matter. I can afford the compensation. Besides, I’m going to audit the accounts that you’ve done for the past few years.”
Flabbergasted, Lily’s hairs stood on their ends. “N-No… please.”
“Mr. Campbell, I shall not disturb you further,” Marcus said respectfully before heading out.
Zayne and Daniel followed suit.
Everyone else’s attention was focused on Donald.
However, there was a complicated mix of emotions and looks among them – shock, confusion, fear, and regret.
Ysabel lifted her head smugly and said, “Mom, isn’t Donald great?”
Beatrice shot a frigid look at Ysabel, making the latter swallow her words immediately.
At the same time, Jennifer was looking at Donald as well.
She felt like she no longer knew the man. It was as if the man was shrouded in mystery.
However, Leonard, Linda, and Kevin still could not bring themselves to like the man.
Yvonne suddenly piped up, “Donald, you seem to exert quite an influence over other people. Are you really just a security guard?”
The others pricked up their ears as they anticipated Donald’s reply.
Donald nodded and said, “Yes, that’s right. I earn eight thousand a month.”
Yvonne smiled and shook her head. “You may seem really calm and composed, but I know that you’re just faking it. You must be really smug right now, huh? Even though I do not know how you manage to pull all these off, I would still like to warn you to tone it down in front of me. Don’t get too cocky. My husband’s won the bid as well. The bid’s worth over two billion. We come from a construction background. I can make the eighth branch of the family return to its former glory with a single sentence. So what if we’ve lost five hundred renovation projects? So what if our people have been fired? It all doesn’t matter. A two-billion project is enough to restore the eighth branch’s former glory.”
Feeling her spirits lifted, Lily exclaimed, “That’s right!”
Yvonne took out a wet tissue and wiped her mouth. “So, you have nothing to brag about. The value of every single piece of clothes on you added together will not even exceed a thousand bucks. That can only mean that you’re truly just a security guard. Otherwise, Jennifer will not divorce you either.”
