The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 838 What Is Her Background

Charles smiled, leaning down to meet Sissi’s terrified gaze. “I don’t like liars. Do you know them or not? This is your

last chance,”

A powerful sense of oppression swept over Sissi, making even her breathing become very slow. She didn’t dare to

make a sound.

“So you’re not talking, huh?”

“Continue.”

Charles said coldly, the wailing mixed with the sound of blunt force hitting flesh was absolutely horrifying.

Isaac approached Sissi and warned her, “Are you still not going to tell the truth? After Mr. Newton is done with

them, you’re next, Sissi. You’d better think it through carefully.”

“I’ll talk! I’ll tell you everything!”

Charles raised his hand, and the man in black halted his actions. Those few thugs were already half dead.

Sissi looked at the few punks on the ground, shaking with fear. Isaac had her lifted by two men in black. forcing her

to make eye contact with Charles.

Isaac warned. “You’d better clearly explain what you’ve been doing in the company. If Mr. Newton finds out, don’t

blame me for not warning you about the consequences.”

Sissi steeled her heart “It was Lana. She made me do this! She has always been jealous of Whitney. She formatted

the computer the last time and caused Whitney’s project plan to go missing.”

“There’s also the report on Whitney’s account. It was Lana who had me meddle with it. This time, she gave me

some money to hire a few thugs to rough her up. The money sent to them was all from Lana. This is all

documented.”

With trembling hands, Sissi pulled out her phone, bringing up the transaction records between her and Lana. Before

she started on this endeavor, she had feared that things might go awry, so she had taken extra precaution.

She certainly wouldn’t foolishly bear all the responsibility.

“Lana gave me one hundred twenty thousand yuan. One hundred thousand was for hiring the thugs, and the

remaining twenty thousand was hush money for me. Mr. Newton, please understand that I’m just a worker. Lana

was the one who orchestrated all of this!”

Looking at the transfer records on his phone, Charles’ eyes suddenly turned cold.

Isaac then asked, “Apart from Lana, is there anyone else? Besides these, what else have you done to Whitney?”

“There is Janice too. She’s the one spreading rumors about Whitney and and you in the company. They all

disapprove of Whitney, just an intern with no education or background, yet she keeps receiving special treatment

from the company. Therefore

Sisst’s voice grew softer and softer, revealing everyone in their little circle

In order to protect herself, she had no choice but to act this way.

“Call those few people over.”

Isaac didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly did as instructed.

Before long, everyone was brought to the front of the office door.

Upon entering the office, Janice was so shocked by the scene before her that she collapsed onto the floor. Lana was

also frightened, barely managing to stand upright by holding onto the door frame.

With a forced smile, Lana asked, “Mr. Newton, what… what do you mean by this?”

Charles gave a slight smile, gazing at her, he said, “Lana, that’s a nice name.”

At this moment, Charles was smiling. It was a smile that was laced with a hint of danger and a hint of warning. Lana

could see it clearly.

“Mr. Newton, you…”

Lana looked at Sissi, who was stunned and sitting on the ground, feeling very worried inside.

“Notify the HR department, that they will no longer appear in any companies in Newton Group. If any company in

Salinsburgh dares to hire them in the future, it would be crossing Newton Group. Furthermore, I never want to see

them in Salinsburgh again.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the office was completely dumbfounded.

Lana was frightened and pleaded. “Mr. Newton, please give me another chance. I realize my mistake and I promise

I won’t cause you any more trouble in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Charles slowly approached, and stopped when he was only two steps away from Lana. He leaned

in with a cold smirk. “Where did you do wrong?”

A powerful sense of oppression swept over Lana, causing her legs to weaken. Trembling, she found herself unable

to speak.

“Throw them out. Don’t dirty the carpet.”

”

Upon hearing those words, Isaac quickly called over a few bodyguards dressed in black. They promptly dragged the

thugs out of the office. While they were at it, they also escorted Lana and the others out.

Lana and the others hadn’t snapped out of their fear even when they were dragged out of the office.

Janice was someone with very little courage who would only dare to bully the weak and fear the strong. This time,

she was scared to the point of fainting.

Isaac said coldly, “Pack your things immediately and leave the company. You have half an hour. If you’re not ready

by then, don’t blame me for being rude.”

“Mr. Turner…”

Lana was actually planning to play the victim.

But Isaac simply wouldn’t buy what she was selling, briskly shaking off her hand as she tried to latch onto

him.

“You have twenty-nine minutes left. If you insist on stirring up trouble before you leave, feel free to try.” After

saying that, Isaac turned around and left.

“Lana, we’ve all been working for you. Now that we’ve lost our jobs and are being driven out of Salinsburgh, you

should at least come up with a solution, right?”

At this moment, Lana was feeling extremely agitated. Hearing Sissi’s incessant nagging on the side instantly ignited

her anger.

“Who was the one begging me for help in the first place? Now that there’s trouble, you come looking for me? When

you were reaping the benefits, why didn’t you think of refusing then? You want me to find a solution now? What

solution could I possibly have?”

“You were the mastermind behind this from the start, and now you expect me to bear the consequences? That’s

not fair!”

Sissi was furiously yelling behind Lana.

Lana simply ignored her.

They returned to the logistics department.

As they were all called out one by one, and both Sissi and Janice returned with red, tear-stained eyes, the remaining

people in the logistics department couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease.

Seeing Lana return, someone immediately went up to her. “What on earth happened? Why did Mr. Turner call you

out? Why do I see Sissi and the others packing up?”

Seeing someone checking on her, Lana sighed, a knowing look appearing on her face as she began to pack up her

things.

“All I can say is, steer clear of Whitney in the future. She’s not someone you can afford to mess with. After all, she

has a CEO backing her up.”

“I’m just being kicked out because I stepped on her toes in a task, stirred up her cheese. Now, I have to pack up

and leave…”

At this moment, Isaac arrived at the logistics department. Lana quickly shut her mouth and dared not say another

word.

Under Isaac’s watchful eye, Lana and the others quickly packed their belonging into the boxes.

After they left, the logistics department instantly erupted into a flurry of activity, with people gathering in small

groups to discuss the matter.

“Lana is a veteran in our department and highly capable. How come she was terminated? Could it be at

promotion?”

“It doesn’t seem right to me. Didn’t you notice that those who were close to Lana have all left? And with Sissi’s

outspoken personality, would she look like this if she got promoted? She must have done something that crossed

the line with Mr. Newton. That’s why she was fired.”

The person who had just spoken to Lana denied all of their speculations, and whispered, “Lana told me the truth.

We should stay away from Whitney in the future. This woman is truly terrifying. I really don’t know what her

background is.”
