The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139 You Two Have Been Fired

"Ms Knight, I'm sorry. It's my fault that you got involved," Ava Jones said with a guilty expression.

"It's not your fault," Harleen gave her a smile. "Even if it wasn't this incident, something else would have happened eventually. And I'll quit sooner or later because of him."

"But, it's because of me..." Ava Jones continued.

"It has nothing to do with you, okay?" Harleen smiled again.

Ava Jones took a deep breath and her eyes flashed with determination as she turned to Gerald Patton and said loudly, "I don't want to work for this kind of company anymore. I resign!"

"Get out!" Gerald Patton was furious again and shouted angrily, "Both of you get out of the company right now!"

"The one who should leave is you!" Just then, a woman's voice rang out.

Harper Rodriguez led a group of people into the room.

"Ms Rodriguez!"

Upon seeing Harper Rodriguez, both Harleen and Ava Jones exclaimed in unison.

"Ms Rodriguez," Isabella Martinez also reluctantly called out with disdain in her eyes.

Although Harper Rodriguez was the general manager of the company, she didn't hold as much power in Isabella Martinez's eyes as the vice general manager Gerald Patton did.

"What do you mean by that?" Gerald Patton's face darkened as he heard Harper's words. He rarely heard her speak to him in such a tone before.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Harper Rodriguez responded coldly, "I am officially notifying you and Isabella Martinez that you are both fired!"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. She had arrived just in time to prevent a major incident from occurring.

Derek had made it clear that no harm should come to Harleen Knight while she was working at this company, but now it seemed like she was about to be fired. If Harleen was dismissed today, there would be no way for her to continue as the general manager.

"Hmm?" Gerald Patton furrowed his brow. "Harper Rodriguez, do you even know what you're talking about?"

'How dare a woman like you speak to me like this? A poser!' Gerald complained inwardly with fury.

"I know exactly what I'm saying!" Harper Rodriguez replied before turning her head towards a man behind her. "Director Lau, please call up some security guards and have them watch these two. Also, inform the finance department to compile a list of all the money they've embezzled from the company over these years. And then call the police, tell them that there has been abuse of power and harassment against female employees in our company!"

The surrounding crowd gasped at her words.

Everyone was surprised at Harper's sudden courage today - she used to be too scared even raise her voice in front of Gerald Patton.

"Director Lau, didn't you hear me?" Harper continued looking at HR Director who was still stunned by everything happening around him.

Her confidence came naturally from Derek.

Before that, when Derek briefed her on the situation, she took the opportunity to share her difficulties with him. Upon hearing that there was a pest like Gerald Patton in the company, Derek slammed his hand on the table and demanded that she immediately deal with both Gerald Patton and Isabella Martinez. He also instructed her to tell him who Gerald Patton's so-called backer was and then made a call in front of her. After Derek's phone call, Harper had no more worries anymore. Finally, Derek reminded her not to let Harleen know that SunPark Group was now a subsidiary of World Group.
