Chapter 1421: Chapter 1421: Visit Teddy Carter
Until the "line disconnected" prompt sounded in the phone, Teddy Carter finally failed to suppress his emotions and hurled his phone onto the bed with fury.
His initially sorrowful expression gradually revealed a trace of coldness.
In the end, he picked up the phone next to him again and sent out a message.
"Alright, I agree to meet you."
...
Charlotte Thompson received the message while she was drinking coffee in Justin Battleson’s office.
Gazing at the message displayed on the screen of her phone, Charlotte’s eyes softened into a ripple of amusement.
"After work, we won’t be leaving together. I’m going to meet someone."
Setting the coffee cup aside, Charlotte lifted her gaze toward Justin Battleson, who was walking in her direction.
Upon hearing her words, Justin’s brows twitched as he sat down beside her, curiosity evident in his voice:
"Going to meet someone from Melissa Tanner’s studio?"
Earlier today, Charlotte had mentioned Zara Ward to Justin, so he instinctively assumed the person Charlotte was going to meet could only be her.
But Charlotte shook her head. "I’m meeting Teddy Carter."
"Teddy Carter?"
This name was far from unfamiliar to Justin. "What are you meeting him for?"
"He’s been fired from the company," Charlotte replied.
Currently, Justin was pretending to be severely suppressed in front of the board of directors, so he wasn’t necessarily aware of such matters like employees getting fired.
As Charlotte uttered these words, Justin’s face revealed slight confusion—but he quickly pieced things together.
"Something to do with George Robbins?"
Charlotte thought for a moment. Although she felt her next words might be somewhat inappropriate, she still chose to speak them: "Yeah, sort of. To put it simply, George Robbins made him wear the green hat."
However, upon hearing this, Justin’s brows furrowed deeply.
Charlotte went on to share with Justin all the things she had overheard outside the office.
"Now, for Florienna Ellis, Teddy Carter holds no remaining value. And I’ve discovered another interesting detail."
Charlotte rested her chin on her hand, her fingertip idly tapping against her cheek.
"In the newly opened online store by Florienna Ellis, aside from the collaboration designs between my work and the Worsen brand, the best-selling clothing pieces... there are issues with them too."
Charlotte certainly understood that Justin wasn’t interested in dealings involving Florienna, so she didn’t bother pulling out her phone to show the web interface—she simply explained it to him.
"I’m familiar enough with Teddy Carter’s design style to confidently say that the clothes in question are absolutely his creations."
Of course, Charlotte casually mentioned it, without much emphasis.
She could tell Teddy Carter genuinely liked Florienna. Offering his artistic designs to her wasn’t beyond what Teddy might willingly do.
"Teddy Carter was the first to take sides and support Florienna after she voiced her stance. If someone like him suddenly turned against her, it would undoubtedly cause an uproar."
Moreover, Teddy Carter had sacrificed his job for Florienna, only to receive such a humiliating betrayal in return. Even if Teddy wasn’t an ordinary man, enduring such a thing wouldn’t be easy.
While Charlotte felt a sliver of sympathy for Teddy in her heart, she ultimately didn’t see him as pitiful.
After all, Teddy Carter had previously given Florienna special treatment, enabling her to parachute into the company—a deed no decent person would have done.
On top of the matter with Elijah Walker and the collaboration with XTZ, Teddy being used and then coldly betrayed by Florienna counts as a fitting case of karma, doesn’t it?
