They all knew the horrible fate that Winnie was going to be facing next.
However, nobody stood up to stop what was happening.
Nobody except for a young, female assistant.
She was the only one among the crowd who rushed out.
Bravely, she ran over in front of Daniel and stopped him.
“Mr. Garland, it doesn’t seem very appropriate to abandon the shareholders in the conference room. If Ms. Garland needs a tour around the company, I can assist her.”
Winnie did not expect anyone to come up and stop the incident. She thought that everyone and everywhere within the Garland Group was corrupted.
As she was processing her thoughts, she could not help but look at the female assistant again.
The latter was a beautiful woman. Winnie recognized her right away.
If she was not mistaken, Winnie had seen her photo before. She had also carefully read through the woman’s information.
The assistant was somebody arranged to stay in Garland Group by Nathaniel.
Daniel was very dissatisfied with this person who suddenly appeared and blocked his way.
“Which department are you from? You’re fired!”
The young assistant was not shaken. “On what basis are you firing me? I didn’t do anything wrong. If you insist on firing me, I will sue you for breaching the labor law!”
Daniel’s eyes widened, and he was rendered speechless. After being stunned for a while, he clamored at the other senior management in the conference room, “Which department is this woman from? Hurry and get rid of her now! If not, call security!”
Once Daniel said that, somebody immediately went over with the intention of taking the assistant away.
The assistant did not waver. She walked over and grabbed Winnie’s other arm.
“Ms. Garland, right? Come with me. I’ll bring you out from here. If we still can’t leave, we’ll call the police.”
Winnie flashed a gentle smile and suddenly leaned over to hug the young woman. She then whispered something into the assistant’s ear.
After hearing what Winnie said, the young assistant was stunned on the spot. “You…”
Up until the point where the assistant was being chased away, she still hadn’t regained her senses.
When Ms. Winnie from the Garland family was missing last time, she was on the news. The whole nation knows that she is dumb. However, she didn’t seem to be dumb at all just now. Not only is she not dumb, she even knows her own name. She even asked me to give the boss, Nathaniel, a call to report this incident. Who on earth is she? She even knows my background!
Nathaniel’s office was not far from Garland Group. It was located just a few floors below them.
Therefore, within five minutes, Nathaniel managed to rush over.
When he arrived, the senior management of Garland Group was not doing much in the conference room. They were either murmuring among themselves or looking at their phones.
Only Hamish was staring at the door leading to a smaller conference room next to them.
Behind that closed door, a tragedy was happening in broad daylight.
Occasionally, a woman’s cry and a man’s lewd laughter were heard from the room.
Nathaniel was in disbelief.
How could something so absurd be happening under broad daylight? Furthermore, so many people are sitting in this conference room, allowing it!
“Is it here?” Nathaniel asked the young woman behind him as he pointed toward the door where the noise was coming from.
“Yes.” The young assistant immediately nodded. Although she was hesitant, she still answered.
“Everybody knows that Ms. Winnie from the Garland family is dumb. Her father was the one who sent her here. Since nobody here is helping her, she could only ask me for help.”
The young assistant was unsure if she should inform her boss there and then that Winnie was actually not dumb.
After some consideration, she thought she could tell her boss later. After all, the most crucial task currently was to save Winnie from the hands of the pervert, Daniel.
