Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125 Ousted From the Gardner Corporation

Because of the incident related to Nicole, Colton was immediately summoned back to the Gardner Residence by Benjamin.

Later in the evening, four people were sitting at the dining table in the Gardner Residence. Occupying the main seat was a man who looked very stern. Nearly half of the hair on his head was gray, and he was wearing a suit. He had put up a straight look on his face, making the atmosphere at the dining table extremely tense.

After a while, the man questioned, “Colton, did I not request you to kick out the plagiarist out of the Gardner Corporation? Why did you oppose my request?” The man’s voice was thick and deep, with a hint of regal command that could not be refuted.

Pursing his lips, Colton looked up at Benjamin and answered in a faint voice, “This matter has yet to be investigated. Hence, we can’t jump to conclusions.”

After receiving his reply, Benjamin slammed his palm onto the table and stood up immediately, his pair of eagle eyes staring directly at Colton. “What else is there to investigate further? The judges’ verdicts have determined it, and she even gave Wendy the plagiarized outfit to wear. Since when did Wendy deserve to suffer from such grievances?”

With a collected composure, Colton looked toward a very angered Benjamin. His eyes slowly fell on Benjamin’s palm which he had used to slam the table earlier. Raising his eyebrows, he asked, “Doesn’t your palm hurt when you slam so hard?”

Seeing that Colton was still diverting the subject at hand, Benjamin was fueled with anger. “I’m being serious with you. Don’t try to change the subject!”

Seeing that Benjamin did not seem to be fooled by his tactic, Colton could only speak faintly, “Lisa is the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel after all. Since F&M Apparel has yet to make an announcement in regards to the scandal, we can’t be the first to make any moves.”

Colton softened his tone, and he looked at Benjamin, who was still standing. Pulling the corners of his mouth, he continued by saying, “Dad, if she’s really committed plagiarism, I wouldn’t need you to order me; I’ll kick her out of the Gardner Corporation myself. However, if that’s not the case, we will certainly be criticized for our actions in the future if we were to act now on impulse.”
