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. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"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.

Marco Lau nodded vigorously after reacting, "Got it!"

After hearing Harper Rodriguez's words, Gerald Patton grabbed his tea cup and smashed it hard on the ground.

"Harper Rodriguez, I think you want to lose your job. How dare you speak so arrogantly!" After speaking, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"That's right! Who does she think she is?" Isabella Martinez echoed from the side, "Letting her stay in this position as the general manager is just making her a puppet. She really thinks highly of herself!"

As she spoke, Isabella stared at Harper with a contemptuous expression.

"You two will soon find out who is talking nonsense,” Harper said before turning around to face Harleen apologetically. "Ms Knight, I'm so sorry on behalf of our company. I promise this won't happen again."

"Ms Rodriguez, you're too kind," Harleen blinked and stuttered, "I'm... I'm fine..."

Harper Rodriguez's overly humble attitude surprised her. It didn't seem like the typical superior- subordinate relationship.

"It's good that you're okay." Harper Rodriguez replied. "By the way, I've been so busy lately that I haven't had a chance to properly introduce the company to you. It's my fault. When are you free today? Come find me and I'll give you a simple onboarding training."

Harleen blinked again before responding, "Thank you, Ms Rodriguez.”

On her first day at work, Harleen had already received an onboarding training from the HR director but never heard of a CEO personally giving one.

"That's what I should do.” Harper Rodriguez smiled in response.

Suddenly, Gerald Patton walked up to them with a pale face and knelt down without warning.

"Ms Rodriguez, I 'm sorry. I truly made a mistake, please spare me this time, okay? I... I'm willing to compensate financially. I'll return all the embezzled money to the company. Additionally, I'm willing to offer five million more as compensation to a few female employees..." Gerald Patton stared pleading.

He couldn't help but panic. The call he had just made was to his backer, but before he could say a word, he was scolded in a humiliating manner. At the same time, he was warned that it would be in his best interest to apologize to Harper Rodriguez immediately; otherwise, it wouldn't just be him who would be affected, but his backer would face consequences.

Gerald was also told that Harper Rodriguez's current supporters would treat killing him, Gerald Patton, no differently from squashing an insect.

Therefore, Gerald was left with no more thoughts, only pleading for Harper Rodriguez's mercy. Seeing this scene, those bystanders were all overtaken by shock; they didn't understand what scare Gerald Patton like this.

“Mr Patton, what's wrong with you? What happened..." Isabella Martinez trembled all over and hurriedly approached him.

Before she could finish her sentence, Gerald Patton's hand shot out, delivering a slap across her face.

"Bitch, if you don't want to end up in jail, kneel down and beg Ms Rodriguez for forgiveness NOW!" "Why... why?" Isabella Martinez held half of her face.

"If you talk back again, I'll have you taken to the police station first!" Gerald Patton shouted angrily. Without any hesitation, Isabella Martinez's legs bent as she knelt down. From Gerald Patton's eyes, she could tell that his words were not an empty threat.

"Ms Rodriguez, I'm sorry, I beg for your forgiveness..."
