Chapter 226
“Ms. Evans, we have arrested the man who attacked you the other day.”
“Oh, so soon?” Caroline was quite surprised. She thought it would take the police three days to solve the case.
“Yes. The policeman on the phone chuckled.
He’d had no choice. His superiors said that this case was important and that the suspect must be caught as soon as possible. Yet he didn’t know what was so important about it.
“All right. Thank you.” Caroline hung up and sent a message to Brillany.
Then, she looked up at Layla. She said, “This is a workplace. Unauthorized personnel should leave immediately.”
Vivian look Layla’s hand and argued, “Caroline, how can you say such heartless words to your cousin? She came to visit because she was worried about you. It’s rude of you to kick her out like this.”
The smile on Caroline’s face faded. She said dismissively. “This doesn’t concern you. You’ve overstepped again and again. It’ll be bad if I
don’t give you a warning.”
“Warning?” Vivian scoffed. “What kind of warning?”
“Cheryl, If I recall correctly, the company has a rule saying that we’re not allowed to bring unauthorized personnel into the premises. How
much is the penalty for doing so?”
Cheryl glanced at Vivian and swallowed. “One hundred dollars.”
“Okay. Inform the accountant to deduct one hundred dollars from Vivian’s salary this month.”
Vivian was livid. One hundred dollars was a drop in the bucket of her salary. What really embarrassed her was that Caroline had announced it in front of the office.
This was tantamount to telling everyone that Caroline was the boss, not her!
“Caroline!” Vivian yelled. She charged forward, wanting to slap Caroline, but Layla held her back.
Layla gave her a look of warning.
Vivian snapped out of her anger and looked at Caroline calmly. “Go ahead and deduct my salary. You won’t be in Thorne Corp for much longer, anyway.”
“What’s going on here?” As soon as Jules walked in, he saw them standing in the hallway.
Vivian said, “Are you here to see this ungrateful bitch too, Mr. Hawkins?”
Jules immediately frowned at her words. “Vivian, you’d better watch what you say. What happened with Mr. Corvin last time proved that you’re not as good as Caroline. How can you still be so rude?”
Caroline had just told Vivian off, and now Jules was lecturing her too. Vivian Immediately felt hurt. “Am I wrong, Mr. Hawkins? Isn’t Caroline ungrateful for not supporting her parents?”
It was rare for a composed person like Jules to be so angry.
