Nancy snapped, “Emily, stop trying to turn us against each other. The Linton Group has nothing to be afraid of. What reasons do you have to shut us down? Our staff members are all hardworking. I’m sure they don’t have any financial issues. Don’t be afraid, people. Although Mr. Williams is no longer the Great Marshal, he’s still influential in the army. He can protect the Linton Group.”
Emily laughed. “My father-in-law is a King Class Warrior, and my husband is the Great Marshal. Do you really think Mr. Williams can protect you people against me?”
Nancy hissed, “Shut up. The Linton Group will never bow to you...”
Before she could finish her words, a glamorously dressed woman jogged toward Emily.
In an attempt to flatter Emily, she said, “Ms. Clemons, I’ll do anything you ask for. From now on, I’ll follow you to the end of the world.”
This woman was one of the human resources executives in the company.
Emily laughed. “Good. After coming to my company, you’ll have a promotion of three ranks above your current position.”
The promotion of three ranks was a temptation too great to resist.
Soon, more and more staff members went to Emily’s side.
“Ms. Clemons, we’ll work for you.”
“Ms. Clemons, we’ll contribute to your new company.”
“Ms. Clemons, I’ve been thinking of leaving the Linton Group since forever.”
Lacey and Dawn were purple in rage.
These people were heartless.
Linton Group had always treated them fairly.
What they were doing now was basically adding insult to injury.
In the end, none of the old staff members of Linton Group left, but more than half of the new staff members did.
Dawn gritted out, “You’re all traitors! Just you wait. Karma will be right around the corner.”
The traitors sneered, “You’re powerless now and they’ll investigate your assets soon. In a blink of an eye, you’ll be living on the streets. We’d rather face karma than to live on the streets and die from the cold with you.”
Emily ordered, “Shut down Linton Group immediately for restructuring. We’ll reopen it when the time is right.”
“Yes, Ma’am!” The team leader immediately started working on it.
Dawn panicked and hurriedly stopped the man. “Since when did we violate the law? Show me the evidence. Otherwise, you’re abusing your authority and I’m going to report you to your superiors.”
The team leader pushed Dawn aside. “The Great Marshal’s wife’s orders are indisputable. Disobeying her orders means going against the military. I have the right to arrest all of you.”
“You-” Dawn could not find the right words in the midst of her anger.
Fearing that Dawn would be implicated, Lacey quickly stopped her.
At that, Emily smugly left with the soldiers and her new employees.
Meanwhile, Linton Group was shut down and the employees in the company were all dismissed.
Dawn was furious and anxious at the same time. “Lacey, hurry up and call Zeke. I’m sure he can find a way to solve this.”
Instantly, Lacey took out her phone to call him.
However, no matter how many times she tried, the call would not get through.
Dawn and Nancy tried to call him as well, but it was to no avail.
“That’s strange. Why isn’t Zeke picking up the call?” Dawn inquired.
Lacey sighed, “Zeke told me that he was going for a mission a few days ago. It seems like his mission is confidential. That must be why he’s not picking up the call.”
Dawn sighed. “We’ll have to wait for Zeke to come home before we can do anything else.”
