The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 285

"You can decide for yourself how to handle such an incompetent employee."

Georgia stood nearby, her face twisted in distress, eyes welling with tears.

A dull ache throbbed between Violet's temples.

"Georgia, head down to the finance office, please."

Georgia blinked, not understanding what Violet was getting at.

"Ms. Marchand, why the finance office now?"

She'd been standing there, bracing herself for a scolding, but Ms. Marchand didn't seem inclined to yell. Relieved but confused, she wondered what new errand Violet had for her.

"Collect your paycheck up to today and hand in your badge on your way out."

At that, Georgia felt her world collapse.

"Why? Was that Mr. Garcia on the phone just now? Are you firing me just because I argued with Victoria today? Did he call you and tell you to get rid of me?"

Violet frowned, staring at Georgia. "You argued with Victoria? Why would you do that?"

She hadn't known Georgia had pulled such a stunt.

"Yes, I did. So what? Is Mr. Garcia heartbroken over her now? Victoria is completely useless—everyone in the office knows it. She cost the company a fortune last time, but Mr. Garcia still handed her a huge severance package—almost five million. Doesn't that make it obvious she's his secret mistress? The rest of us work ourselves to the bone from nine to five, and she gets everything handed to her because of her looks. If she's shameless enough to do that, why shouldn't I call her out? Everyone knows what's going on. Others are afraid to say it—I'm not. I'm tired of watching her get away with it."

Georgia wiped her tears angrily as she spoke.

Violet's expression grew darker with every word.

Everyone in the company could see Violet had it out for Victoria, but such hostility was never supposed to be so blatant. Georgia was Violet's assistant; her actions and words reflected directly on Violet. Yet this morning, Georgia had gone straight to Victoria and unleashed a tirade, airing out all the rumors about Victoria and Mr. Garcia that everyone only whispered about in private.

To those in the know, it looked like Georgia was bullying Victoria on Violet's behalf. To others, it seemed possible Violet herself had ordered Georgia to do it.

"Idiot…" Violet muttered under her breath. Any remaining shred of inclination to keep Georgia around vanished completely.
