Katherine spoke little throughout the meeting.
To the end of the meeting, Ewan said sarcastically, “Katherine, I heard that you have bought a new house in Haitang residential quarter which is in the popular district within the second ring road. A high-floor apartment there is worth about three million yuan!”
“What do you mean!”
“Where did you get the money?” Ewan sneered.
Immediately, all eyes were focused on her, and the old lady frowned.
Katherine explained: “Grandma, dad bought a lottery ticket lately and won more than 2.5 million yuan, so we bought the new house with the money.”
“Hahaha, this reason is rather ridiculous.”
“Ewan, you think I'm like you? I will never embezzle public funds. You can check the company's accounts. A clean hand wants no washing.”
Katherine refuted: “On the contrary, it is you who have embezzled 1.5 million yuan and have not paid back yet. I'll give you three days. If the financial department tells me that the account has not been paid back, uncle, you will not be paid after then. Your salary will be used to pay off the debt.”
“How dare you!”
Lewis was furious, “How dare you! Who gives you the right to deduct my salary? Your grandma is still there. Are you going to rebel? You can't wait to expose your ambition.”
“I am the deputy general manager and my grandma made the appointment in person. I have the right to decide. Do you mean that you are not going to repay the 1.5 million yuan?”
“You!”
When Lewis was going to refute, the old lady slapped the table and shouted in a deep voice, “It's enough.”
“Mom, look at her. How arrogant she is.”
“Pay back the 1.5 million yuan within three days.” The old lady said. Lewis didn't dare to say anything, so he could only stare at Katherine in resentment.
Ewan felt very aggrieved.
A month ago, Katherine was nothing and was at his beck and call. Now she had the right to control them.
How absurd!
“Let's put the house aside, and talk about the car. The three BMW 540 cars are worth 1.7 or 1.8 million yuan. You have won another lottery?”
“Do I need to explain to you? I will say it again. Go to check the accounts as you like. If you don't feel reassured, grandma can arrange for someone that you trust to check the accounts. In a word, if I embezzled a cent of public funds, I would leave the company voluntarily.”
What she said shut everyone's mouth.
Ewan was so furious that he didn't want to give up.
“You are a member of the Hunt family. Lottery prizes, or the money earned by sidelines, all belong to the Hunt family and should be handed over to the company. What right do you have to squander the money?”
All fell silent.
Everyone in the conference room looked at each other.
Let alone other people, a trace of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the old lady.
Katherine looked at Ewan as if he was an idiot, and laughed, “It's really interesting. Now that you want our stuff so much, how about my shit?”
“Fuck...”
“Shut up!”
The old lady shouted deafeningly.
Both Katherine and Ewan drew their necks back, feeling anxious.
“You are both getting wild out of wing. I'm still alive now, how dare you behave like this! If I were dead, wouldn't our family fall apart?”
Everyone was silent, afraid to look up.
“The meeting is over, get out of here.”
Katherine was in a bad mood as she left the meeting room.
The behaviors of the Hunt family made her disappointed and very distressing.
The other families all stuck together and worked hard. However, her own family was fighting inside. The Hunt family was getting worse and worse.
“If the Hunt family fell into his hands, even if the family had assets worth billions of yuan, he would wipe them out.”
Katherine swore quietly in heart, and she decided:
No matter what happens in the future, she won’t let Ewan and his family take control of the company. She may not be the future boss, but Ewan mustn't.
“Are you angry?”
