Chapter 1143: Chapter 1143: I am the victim
"I, we... we just heard it from someone else."
Charlotte Thompson’s eyes grew cold, making the two employees extremely uneasy.
In the company, they often saw Miss Thompson, but she was always smiling, giving off an approachable and friendly vibe, so this current demeanor was a first for them.
"So, who is this ’someone’ you’re talking about?"
Even though Miss Thompson’s voice was soft, it sounded way scarier to the two employees than Justin Battleson’s imposing manner from earlier.
One younger employee already had tears brimming in her eyes as she looked at Miss Thompson with a shiver and said,
"I really don’t know anything; someone saw Elijah Walker go into your office. I know it’s wrong, Miss Thompson."
Listening to such an explanation, Miss Thompson actually found it a bit funny.
Just entering her office and it got twisted into such a state by others.
But now, Charlotte was very curious as to who had started this ridiculous, laughable rumor.
In the end, the two employees were dismissed by Justin Battleson, and Miss Thompson didn’t say much more.
After the two left the company and got into the car, Justin Battleson casually said,
"Don’t worry, I will look into this matter thoroughly."
But he hadn’t expected that such outrageous rumors would exist in his company.
Now, who didn’t know his relationship with Charlotte Thompson?
"Investigating these matters might not be that simple. With so many employees now, these rumors have spread. I’m afraid many people know about them. Finding out where it all started won’t be easy."
Charlotte’s expression remained cool as she glanced at her phone, which displayed a chat message with Zara Ward.
"I think with this incident, the target might not necessarily be me."
Justin started the car, a probing look flitting across his eyes.
"Do you remember that designer we met last time, Elijah Walker?"
When Charlotte mentioned the name, Justin thought for a moment, "The person in charge of the new product launch?"
Their group’s new product had received rave reviews, and the higher-ups were very pleased with this achievement, so all the staff involved in the project were rewarded.
"That’s the one. Although this designer has been with the company for many years, due to internal competition, despite his outstanding abilities, he remained unknown. This time, the new product design was attributed to him, and it received praise, naturally attracting the attention of many."
"So you transferred the XTZ collaboration to someone else’s shoulders?"
Justin remembered what Charlotte had mentioned to him previously and suddenly understood.
"Then this matter has something to do with Florienna Ellis?" Florienna said with a smile, casting her gaze on Justin’s face.
Justin didn’t overlook the meaningful look in Charlotte’s eyes but felt a bit puzzled, "Florienna Ellis? Who’s that?"
He had no recollection of that name.
The next second, he saw Charlotte cross her arms and raise an eyebrow at him.
"That’s the beauty who entered your office to bring you documents."
At those words, Justin’s grip on the steering wheel tightened.
Justin remembered the unpleasant events of that day, and his expression darkened.
Then, as Justin turned to look at Charlotte, he deliberately put on an innocent, pitiful face.
"Charlotte, I’m the victim here."
