Chapter 30 Uncle Curtis Lends A Helping Hand

The people around them started to hesitate as well. They no longer knew whose side to be on.

Even though Meredith was in the wrong for being with Julian, Rayna was not innocent either if she had slept around with men she met in a bar.

Just then, the screen lit up again after being dormant for a long while.

It was the scene where Rayna had gone to the hotel room to catch them in action. However, Meredith’s and Julian’s voices could be heard.

Meredith’s voice sounded from the video. “We’ll wait until her director’s birthday, and then we’ll get her drunk and find someone to send her to the hotel. She’ll have no way to escape. When that happens, she’ll be too ashamed to remain in Faymon Group.”

Julian praised, “Honey, you’re so smart to have come up with such a meticulous plan. You’re indeed my darling girl.”

“Of course. I’m just waiting for you two to get a divorce,” Meredith replied smugly.

The few sentences from the voice recording were enough to render everyone speechless.

Meredith was stunned as well. She did not expect Rayna to record what they said as well. The voice recording put her in a more difficult position than the video earlier; it had gotten Rayna off the hook.

“That’s not real! The voice recording has been edited!” Meredith explained in a panicked voice. “H-How would I say something like that? I didn’t say that!”

Someone huffed from among the crowd. “Ms. Jones, do you take us as fools? We can tell if the recording has been edited. You’re such a vile person! Not only did you steal Rayna’s husband, but you even plan to destroy her reputation!”

“Yeah! I’m guessing that the photos are the ones that are edited!”

“It’s Rayna who has set up this stage! She’s the one who wants to harm me!” No matter how much Meredith tried to explain, no one believed her anymore.

Meredith was on the brink of losing her mind.

She had thought that she was smart. Imagine her despair when she learned that she had lost to Rayna.

Meredith turned around only to see Rayna smiling at her. It was as though Rayna was amused by her incompetence. Losing all sense of control, Meredith shrieked and pounced at Rayna.

“Rayna, you b*tch!”

Meredith charged at Rayna at full speed. Just as her nails were about to scratch Rayna’s skin, the latter took a few steps backward. Unfortunately, Rayna was wearing heels. As she avoided contact with Meredith, she lost her footing and twisted her ankle slightly. Her brows immediately drew together from the pain. Next thing she knew, her back was supported by a large hand.

A chilling aura behind her made her body tense. Turning her head around, she saw Curtis. The man had appeared out of nowhere and supported her, preventing her from falling.

“U-Ah! Mr. Faymon!” Rayna managed to stop herself from calling Curtis “Uncle Curtis” just in time. Gritting her teeth out of pain, she distanced herself from him.

There were people surrounding them. If they saw any form of intimacy between the two of them, the rumors would begin to fly again.

Curtis lowered his hand naturally and acted as though he had never seen Rayna before. At the sight of the scene in front of him, he frowned as his expression darkened. An intimidating aura exuded from his presence.

“What’s with this commotion in the office?” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

The moment he spoke, the crowd immediately vanished. Everyone quickly realized Curtis had shown up.

Odd. Isn’t Mr. Faymon only in charge of the affairs of the companies overseas? Even if he does return to the country, doesn’t he almost never show up to the office?

However, no one dared to ask aloud the questions in their minds. Instead, everyone bowed their heads respectfully as a greeting.

“M-Mr. Faymon.” Meredith was beginning to feel anxious as well. She had not expected that Curtis would show up. It was common knowledge that Curtis disliked employees who caused a scene. From the looks of it, Meredith had dug herself into a deep hole.

Curtis placed his hand into his pocket and scanned the crowd with an icy gaze. “What’s going on?” he inquired in a deep voice. “Why was everyone standing around in the lobby instead of working? Especially you, Ms. Jones.”

Meredith paled instantly upon hearing her name being called out.

Clenching her teeth, Meredith pointed a finger at Rayna. “Mr. Faymon, Rayna claimed that she has a sexual disorder and forbids her husband from touching her. She then proceeded to sleep around with

men she met in bars. Not only so, but she also edited a voice recording to make me look bad!”

“You’ve gone out of line, Ms. Jones!” Jessica stepped forward and defended Rayna. “You as a mistress are teaming up with Rayna’s husband to hurt her, and you claim that the opposite is true? We heard the voice recording loud and clear. We’re not deaf, Ms. Jones!”

Curtis frowned. It was as though he was trying to figure out who was telling the truth. Just then, he noticed the photos by his feet. It only took him one glance to tell that it was his silhouette in the photos.

He immediately tossed a glance at Gabriel, who was standing by his side. His gaze darkened.

“I was sure that there weren’t any reporters that night. I don’t know where these photos come from,” Gabriel explained in a low whisper. “I shall investigate this matter and report my findings to you as soon as possible, Mr. Faymon.”

Right that second, the LED screen replayed the voice recording between Meredith and Julian.

Once Curtis had heard the recording, the frown on his face grew deeper as he turned to look at Meredith. “Ms. Jones, please explain yourself.”

“M-Mr. Faymon. I-” Meredith stammered.

Just then, Henry Sullivan, the director of the HR department, squeezed through the crowd. At the sight of Curtis, he widened his eyes. “Mr. Faymon. What are you doing in the office?”

“There’s something I had to do.” When Curtis saw Henry panting heavily, he asked, “What’s wrong, Mr. Sullivan?”

Henry wiped a handful of sweat away from his forehead and swallowed before he answered, “So, the designer that Faymon Group has hired from a renowned school has left. I’m looking for her right now.”

“Are you talking about me?” Jessica appeared.

“Ms. Marsh, you’re still here!” Henry let out a sigh of relief at the sight of Jessica. “That’s great news. If you’re unsatisfied with the treatment by our company, I’m sure we can discuss it.”

“Oh, no. I’m very satisfied with how I’m treated by the company. It was Ms. Jones who fired me.” Jessica jutted out her lower lip as she still held the pot of plant in her hand. “Rayna had gone to the planning department to look for Ms. Jones and told her that she did not take any bribe for herself, but Ms. Jones did not believe her. Even though I’m new to Faymon Group, I have read the staff rules and am now well-versed in them. I told Ms. Jones that it’s against the rules for a supervisor to interfere in another department’s affairs. I never thought that it would enrage her instead.”

“That was wrong of you, Ms. Jones.” Henry tossed Meredith a displeased look. “If an issue arises with an employee from the translation department, it’s Mr. Lawson’s job to deal with it. Who gave you the right to intervene?”

Henry could hardly contain his fury.

It was a very rare occurrence that Faymon Group would take the initiative to hire someone. When they had planned to hire Jessica, the company had fought multiple competing companies. It took the HR department of Faymon Group a lot of effort to get Jessica to join the company.

Is Meredith stupid? She’s the manager of the planning department. Does she not know how hard it is to hire an excellent designer? How could she abuse her power by firing the new recruit?

“T-That’s because Mr. Lawson wasn’t around, so I…” By then, Meredith was in full-blown panic mode. She had crawled her way up to the position she was in after much grueling. She could not risk being fired.

She would have to back down.

“It’s my fault. I apologize to Ms. Marsh.” Meredith bowed curtly at Jessica as an apology. She bowed even lower when it came to Curtis. “I’m really sorry, Mr. Faymon. I have been careless. Truth be told, when I found out that Julian was married, I did reject him. However, he kept pursuing me, telling me that his wife could not satisfy him. In the end, I caved in.”

Seeing Meredith putting on an act, Rayna could not help but be impressed by her immaculate tactics.

Meredith had admitted her faults when she knew that Curtis would investigate the matter. Not only so, but she had even gotten Julian to be the black sheep. Rayna snickered secretly as she wondered what Julian would think if he had heard what Meredith had said.

“Mr. Faymon, I’ve been with Faymon Group for so many years. You should be well aware of the contribution I have made.” Meredith was sobbing so hard that her make-up had been ruined. Her voice cracked as she said, “I’m willing to accept any form of punishment.”

“Go to the HR department and complete the termination procedure,” Curtis interrupted with a sunken expression.

“M-Mr. Faymon?” Meredith could not believe that Faymon Group would fire her over such matters. “I have given my all throughout the years of my service. Please—”

Curtis retorted, “So are you implying that the other employees have not given their all for the company?”
