My beautiful boss novel Chapter 84

"Mr. Zhang, I really need your help! This new guy, the new director of the Security Department. I cannot believe it but he just humiliated me in front of everybody! He is the most ill-mannered, arrogant and barbaric person I've ever seen. I can't believe such a person exists! He smashed everything in the director's office and broke everything! Not only that, he said he was firing me! Is that even possible?

I don't believe it! I worked so hard and devoted so many years in this company! He cannot just fire me!"

Carly approached Jaden and demanded him to go with her to the Security Department. Upset, she wanted him to confront Peter at once for maltreating her.

"Come on! Don't worry. Silverland Group is a legitimate enterprise. We protect our reputation and of course our employees. He cannot just fire you for no reason." Jaden tried to appease Carly even if he himself was bothered by Peter's promotion. The way Peter was conducting himself was unacceptable. Jaden knew it was time to take some actions against Peter.

The Security Department was a very important department in the company, and Jaden used to rule over the entire department, from the top rank down to the bottom rank. He couldn't believe that the Security Department was no longer in control.

Now, Bella just assigned Peter to head this department. Bella was the CEO and there was nothing he could do about it. This gave him a great amount of trouble for this would greatly affect his future plans. 'I need to do something. I cannot let him take over the Security Department. It will ruin everything.'

Still thinking of ways on how he could get rid of Peter out of the department when Carly came in and gave him the opportunity he was looking for. He cannot let this heated moment pass. Furious but not defeated, he stood up and started walking towards the Security Department.

Jaden, followed by Carly, walked towards the Security Department. All the security guards moved aside, whispering among themselves. Something interesting was going to happen, and they did't want to miss it.

Lisa who was on the phone became nervous at the sight of Jaden. Her expression changed and she ended the call and stood up to meet Jaden.

Carly and Jaden were soon facing Peter. Jaden yelled at him in anger," Peter, how dare you destroy the company properties? And how can you fire her without any reason?"

"Mr. Zhang, I don't know what you're talking about. "I did not destroy anything and I don't remember terminating anyone from the company. These are baseless accusations. Who gave you the wrong information?"

Unaffected by Jaden's outburst, Peter calmly stood up from his place to show his respect and calmly answered Jaden's accusations.

He knew Jaden was their Deputy General Manager. Like it or not, he knew he was the boss, and he had to show him some respect.

"Excuse me?" Unable to control her anger, Carly started questioning Peter even before Jaden could say anything. In a harsh voice, feeling all high and mighty she pointed her finger at Peter accusing him of denying their allegations.

"You're telling us that you did not break anything in the director's office? You said you were going to fire me. How could you deny all that? Everyone in this room heard what you said, loud and clear. They witnessed everything and they can prove that I am not mistaken with what I heard and saw. You have no way out of this."

To prove her point, Carly pointed at the director's office. "Look, Mr. Zhang, the door is completely damaged! It's a mess, and he obviously tried to destroy everything!"

Jaden felt himself burning in anger. "Peter! be a man! Admit what you did. How can you head the Security Department if you can't own up to your actions?"

"Mr. Zhang, you don't understand." Peter raised his voice in frustration and asked Jaden," This office belongs to Bob, doesn't it?

Carly warned me that nobody was allowed to enter the office except Bob!

And from the things that she told me, the office belonged to Bob. Therefore, everything in the office is Bob's private property. That's why Carly didn't allow me to enter.

Since Bob has been arrested, he would be unable to use the things anymore. For you to understand all this, there is a belief in my hometown that it is unlucky to use the things whose owner has been arrested. That's why I destroyed everything that will only bring bad luck to this company.

I just wanted to get rid of any negative vibes. I'm still young and I don't intend to surround myself with bad luck. Surely, you wouldn't want that and nobody wants to work in a place with bad luck, right?" Looking at Carly, Peter continued," I do want to get married someday. What if I can't because of the bad luck?"

Peter calmly explained himself, emphasizing that what he did was for the good of the entire company. Proud, he was able to justify his actions.

Jaden did not believe a word he said. A young man of his status would not believe in crazy hometown beliefs. But Peter knew what he was doing, Jaden couldn't find the words to question him or this so-called belief.

Weighing his options, he knew that if he said the office belonged to the company, it would mean Carly was questioning Peter's authority.

Peter would definitely put the blame on Carly, and he wouldn't be able to do anything to protect her if this happened. Jaden knew he couldn't let this happen. He had to protect Carly and his own reputation at the company. He couldn't afford to give Peter a reason to fire Carly. He knew there was no way he could win this argument.

Carly was in no position to question Peter.

Jaden knew he had to think fast. Admitting that the office belonged to Bob would justify Peter's behavior. He couldn't think of anything to say.
