Chapter 743
The car was quickly filled with a smell like urine.
Holmes must wet himself from being threatened.
****
Holmes immediately lodged a report to the police saying that someone attempted to murder him.
However, there were no obvious signs of injuries or bruises on his body and the CCTV at the parking lot was somehow broken. Hence, there was no evidence to prove that he was attacked.
He had no choice but to suffer in silence.
Holmes could not let it go and went straight to Yuriel‘s mansion. Counting on the fact that he was one of the seniors in the Yuriel Group, he demanded that Grandpa Yuriel speak out for him. “I‘ve already heard about it.” Grandpa Yuriel went on calmly, “Holmes, I thought that you‘d know better now since you‘ve been working for us for quite some time. But why are you proving yourself to be less wise than both of my grandsons?”
Holmes expected Grandpa Yuriel to comfort him but he was questioned instead. “Sir, what are you trying to say?” Holmes could feel anger thrumming in his veins.
Simon Yuriel remained composed. “As one of the members of the board of directors, didn‘t you know better that you shouldn‘t bad–mouth or spread rumors about the CEO?”
“What did I...” Holmes was about to defend himself but he was suddenly reminded of what he said and could not bring himself to continue.
Simon glared at him sharply. “If you do something bad, people will inevitably find out about it. I know that you tried to set up Jace on several occasions when he was still around, but I turned a blind eye. And it‘s not because you are important to the company. It‘s because I want my grandson to learn that there are enemies everywhere and he should learn how to deal with people like you.” Holmes felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured all over him.
“But, Sage is different.”
Simon‘s voice turned solemn. “I may have been able to turn a blind eye to my grandson‘s situation because I tried to teach him. Buy Sage did me a favor by taking the CEO position. Plus, the Yuriels are deeply indebted to her. So, how dare you go around spreading rumors and speak lowly of her? Do you think I‘d allow that?”
Simon had his gaze fixed on Holmes as Holmes broke into a cold sweat.
“All these years, you embezzled the company‘s fund, traded secrets of the company, and it‘s
not even once or twice. I decided to let it go because you‘ve been with us for a long time, but...”
Simon paused and went on, “Once you leave Yuriel Group, you better buck up and watch yourself. If not, I will send all the evidence to the relevant departments and you know better how you‘d end up, don‘t you?” Holmes felt as if he was struck by lightning.
He deeply regretted what he said earlier.
***
Holmes resigned from his position as the sales department director. Even though he did not explain why he resigned, people came up with their reasons.
They guessed that Zachary only beat Holmes because he spread rumors about Sage.
Also, that Simon was the one who made Holmes resign from his position.
The employees figured that Sage was someone important to the Yuriels hence they decided to watch their words.
After this incident, Zachary and Henry became more well–behaved. Sage, too, slowly got used to the work in Yuriel Group.
Yale Yadeev was transferred from St Francis Hospital in Salem City to Samuel Health Centre in Nadeem City. Sage wanted to visit him. “Are you going to the health center?” Luther did not have anything else better to do so he spent his time at Sage‘s office, playing games on his phone.
“Yeah.”
Sage put on her coat, changed into a pair of heels, and said, “He regained his consciousness for a few days now and I‘ve yet to visit him. I‘ll go see him tonight and check how Captain Yale is doing.” “Let me come with you.”
