A flustered expression appeared on Yvonne’s face. She had not expected her plan to be exposed so soon.
Right now, she was so flustered the only thing she could do was grit her teeth and deny everything, insisting she had nothing to do with it.
She knew Celine had no evidence against her if she denied everything. However, she would be done for if she admitted to anything herself.
When she saw that Yvonne was still not going to admit to anything, Celine shook her head in disappointment. “I always knew he had sent you over to spy on me, but I never minded.
“After all, there would be others even if I sent you away. I can’t stop that.
“But you managed to fit my requirements, and you’re good at what you do. That’s why I’ve always trusted you.
“I was initially willing to give you another chance on the basis of the trust we shared. As long as you admitted to everything…”
Then, Celine gazed at Yvonne’s face which was progressively becoming more flustered and pale. She said calmly, “Yvonne Stone, from this moment onward, you are no longer my secretary. I’ll have HR inform you of any procedures you’ll have to go through.”
Yvonne’s face turned deathly pale as she screeched, “Miss Maynard, are you firing me?!”
“You abandoned me first.” Celine’s voice turned calm as she said coldly, “You rejected the last chance I gave you. Perhaps my tolerance has caused you to become more and more reckless.
“Were you thinking that because I had no proof against you and that William would never identify you publicly, I wouldn’t stand a chance against you so long as you denied everything?
“What you didn’t know is that I’m not a judge, and the investment company is not a courtroom either. I don’t need any proof before I can pass my judgment. All it takes for your resignation is a statement from me.”
