Chapter 183: She Is the One that Fired You?
She was afraid he’d be stressed so she kept the year under wraps.
He was afraid she’d have regrets so he had done all this in silence.
Each setback did not hurt their relationship. Instead, it grew more trusting and stronger over time.
Under Zachary’s good care, Yvonne gradually moved on from the darkness from her previous life.
And after a month of careful recover, Zachary got better now.
Although he was not enough energetic, he was almost the same as usual.
On this day, Zachary took Yvonne out for business.
They were going to meet in the banquet hall in Fairmont Hotel. There weren’t much people involved, a few dozen.
But right in the middle of the group, there was one annoying face.
Jessica has been looking for a job since she was fired.
Depended on her beauty, she got into a start-up company as a secretary to the general manager.
Today, they met again.
When Jessica saw Yvonne, who was well-dressed and glittering and staring the handsome man near her, she was jealous.
Wherever there was Zachary Leinster, he was the most noticeable presence and all men would be compared to him.
The startup suddenly became nothing important.
She wanted to go back to the Leinster Group.
Thinking of this, Jessica was ready to give it a go.
She deliberately pulled her collar down a bit to show her body line, then held the champagne and walked straight towards Zachary while Yvonne was not there.
"Mr. Leinster..." Jessica pretended to be drunk. Zachary said nothing but frown when he saw her. It seemed that he had forgotten her.
Jessica was upset. He really didn’t remind her.
But she didn’t flinch. She held the glass and pretending to be weak drunk girl.
"I was your secretary, Jessica... I didn’t manage to stay at the Leinster Group for long before I was squeezed out, so you might not remember me."
Yvonne just happened to come out of the bathroom when she saw a familiar woman
with skimpy dress and red face, trying to hit on her husband.
She stayed still and smiled with her red lips.
She would like to see what Zachary would do.
"Is there anything I can help?" Zachary asked in a formal way.
"I...," Jessica said, and then began to cry.
"Mr. Leinster, I actually adore you. I think you’re the entrepreneur I admire the most, I’m dumb and not really smart in the secretary department, but I’m the latest to leave work every day because I just want to follow your step and learn a little more..."
When Yvonne heard that, she thought that this woman was so damn shameless!
Bullshit. She was not aiming to learn more but waited for a chance to sneak into my husband’s office if he stayed there for the night!
Zachary frowned, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Jessica didn’t expect that her body line, her tears, her weakness and admiration didn’t work at all! He even became annoyed! She panicked.
As Zachary looked like he had the intention to leave, she hurriedly seized the opportunity and pulled Zachary’s hand.
"Mr. Leinster, I want to go back to the Leinster Group!"
"That day you were in a coma, in the hospital, I was worried about your condition so I came over on behalf of the secretary department, but I was seen by Yvonne... Mrs. Leinster ... She suspected that I was intended to do something else and directly handed in the resignation letter for me and got the human resources department to fire me... ohh."
Jessica took out her most tender side, seemingly unintentionally, but in fact threw all the dirty water on Yvonne.
She was the most innocent and pathetic, she was just visiting her boss and got fired by a jealous woman.
Zachary listened to her words, his face darkened, "She is the one that fired you?"
...
Jessica thought there was hope since he asked so, she nodded.
"Yes! But... Mr. Leinster, don’t blame on Mrs. Leinster. After all, she just recovered from coma and knew little about the company. It’s understandable that she didn’t feel safe."
Anyway, she was the most innocent and kindest. She had been expelled and she was still pleading for Yvonne.
Anyway, without saying the reason why she was fired, she never mentioned her nasty mind and poor work.
Her voice wasn’t exactly small.
Few people who came to the party nearby heard it and chattered.
"This Jessica, she really looks quite aggrieved. Or else she wouldn’t have made a scene in front of the boss."
"Yes, when the boss is sick, isn’t it normal for the secretary to go and take a look? What’s there to be angry about, it’s Mrs. Leinster who did the wrong thing in this matter."
As a result, the words fell, and immediately someone else argued.
"Don’t you know how much Mr. Leinster loves Mrs. Leinster? How dare you talk about Mrs. Leinster, you really don’t want your job anymore."
The man thought in his heart, "I’m sorry."
When Jessica heard that the public voice turned on her side, she became more confident.
"Mr. Leinster, it’s okay, if Mrs. Leinster doesn’t like to see me, it’s okay if I don’t go back, except that there are other beautiful young female employees in the secretary department, if Mrs. Leinster is jealous of everyone..."
The intention was that it was okay to sacrifice one of me, but what if this jealous woman wanted to fire all the secretaries around the boss?
Just then, the man who hadn’t taken a stand spoke up.
"If you know she doesn’t like to see you, what are you doing showing up in front of us today?"
Jessica was dumbfounded.
She couldn’t believe what she’d just heard.
"Mr. Leinster..."
Zachary didn’t care about a girl’s pride, he argued, "There are so many female employees in the Leinster Group, why only you got fired? In terms of ability and seniority, you are not qualified to represent the secretary department to visit me in
the hospital, so I’m afraid your so-called visit has another purpose, right? Could it be that you were sent by another competing company to see if I was dead?"
Jessica was about to cry, "How is that possible! I’ve always dreamed of working at the Leinster Group, how could I be an undercover sent by another company!"
Zachary sneered, "We have tens of thousands of employees, you can approach the Human Resources Department, I am very busy, I don’t have time to deal with a secretary’s stay."
Jessica was astounded.
She also forgot to pretend that she was drunk, "But Mr. Leinster, I work for you. Even if you want to fire me, it’s you or the Human Resources Department, how could she...?"
"My wife is in charge of the entire Lilliput Project, and you’re just an employee in charge of less than a tenth of the contents of the Lilliput Project, and she’s your boss, so why can’t she fire you?"
Jessica shocked again.
She thought Yvonne was bragging the other day when she said she had forty percent of the equity, but to her surprise, she really had the power to fire her!
How could Zachary not see her tricks?
Only it was in public today, he didn’t want to make it way too much.
And after Yvonne had been watching for so long, seeing with her own eyes how her husband beat the angelic bitch and how she smeared her. She finally couldn’t help but stand out.
"Jessica Lester, I thought, those words I said last time were enough, but I didn’t expect you to be really shameless and dare to stand here and distort the truth."
She tore the angelic bitch apart!
...
"I really didn’t intend to shake out all the stuff about you in front of so many people. I wanted to be modest and quiet too, but you won’t allow me so. Since you’re smearing me so much, I’ll just have to set the record straight."
The crowd were all shocked. People quieted down and waited for the story.
King, who was on the sidelines, was very nervous.
He had already seen how Yvonne beat Jessica last time.
He didn’t expect that this time, this Jessica still wanted this. It could end up worse than the last time.
Oh, King was scared.
"Before we get down to business, please pull your collar up a bit and stop flinging your tits out at the sight of a man, shame on you for your dad."
Jessica, "...!!!"
The crowd, "...!!!"
She was at least the richest woman in Hiltonan, how could she be so blunt in her words?
But they would not dare to raise the idea even if they had one.
After all, she was well protected by Zachary Leinster.
"Everybody, please look," said Yvonne, taking out her phone, which contained all the photographic evidence she had previously prepared just in case anything happened.
"This is the real reason why Ms. Lester is late in leaving work every day, not to work properly at her workstation, but to have nothing to do with surfing on the computer, reading small articles on seducing men tricks and attracting married men tips, and after reading something to go around my husband’s office."
"This, is Miss Lester’s academic certificate, and as you all know, what kind of education is needed for the Leinster Group recruitment, right? I won’t say anything about this girl who didn’t even get into high school."
"What’s more..."
What followed next could only be crazier.
All those harassing text messages that Jessica sent to Zachary, all those one-sided chat logs were released.
Jessica felt extremely embarrassed.
"I thought you were a girl and you want some decency, so I let you go. Today it was you who came to me first."
Those text messages were all blocked or deleted by the program written by Yvonne,
so there were some explicit words that even Zachary didn’t know.
His face darkened when he saw that he had such shameless person was his secretary.
"Why didn’t you tell me about such a disgusting thing? I should have get it done sooner!" said Zachary.
Yvonne said, "At that time, your health condition was not good, I didn’t want such a small thing to make you worry, so I just wrote a program to block all the text messages, and all from this number of hers."
Jessica, "..."
The public changed their side.
"So it’s a shameless mistress... and has the face to act pathetic!"
"Yeah, how dare she compare to Mrs. Leinster?"
Someone even said indignantly, "Today is a high-end reception for the upper class, why would they let such a person mix in?! Where’s the security! Take her out!"
Tracing how she had managed to blend in, Yvonne looked towards a young man with an extremely embarrassing face in the crowd at that moment.
"Mr. Kemsley, you’re young and talented, you just can’t read people."
"Recruiting a woman like that into your company with a madam, it might even break up your family one day. Wow, that’s horrible."
The crowd, "... Clearly you’re the one who’s being horrible right now."
