After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129 Hannah Drives Maxwell Mad

"But I have a good guess: you will take the blame and resign if the chairman has no intention to fire you cause I believe anyone should be ashamed to have done such a humiliating thing. And as a well-respected man, you shouldn't tolerate yourself staying with the company." Hannah satirized.
Maxwell was choked by what Hannah just said.
He had seen the world and knew that the worst end would be falling into her trap as she wished.
And now he finally figured out that her intention was to dismiss him!
Once he was fired, nobody in the Cooper Group could grasp as much power as he had to go against Miguel, not even Roger Cooper.
Because Roger was only good at speech and bad at the action.
After figuring it out, Maxwell felt a chill down his back.
He completely had no idea how manipulative she could be. He couldn't believe that Hannah, a silly little girl, could push him into such a hell.
Gritting his teeth and swallowing his anger, he said, "You're right, I lost face because of this thing, and the Cooper Group also was discredited by me. I should be responsible for all the consequences. But I think if I have to take responsibility, I shouldn't run away from it, I should face it bravely. Now in front of everyone, I swear to God that I will definitely deal with my personal life and never make this kind of mistake which every man would make!"
He quoted that mistake that every man would make and easily absolved man of responsibility,
which made Hannah really want to laugh.
Was a man born superior to a woman?
A man cheated on others so he just made a mistake that every man would make.
But if a woman cheated, she would be sordid and disgusting and become an object of hatred. In ancient times, a woman who cheated would have been executed, let alone defended herself.
Of cause, at this moment Hannah didn't want to discuss women's rights with Maxwell, which just was a waste of time.
So she said, "You should get back on track now that you are indiscreet about your personal life. I trust in you that you'll do what you say. But, Mr. Watson, not every mistake can be corrected only by individual effort. Like..."
Maxwell stared at her murderously.
He was disturbed by this woman,
and felt like she was gonna do a bunch of bad things against him.
"Like, the mistake involving a crime." Hannah said, separating every word to emphasize.
"What crime?!" Maxwell got mad in one second.
It took him a long time to settle down, but now he had pissed off again.
"The crime of abuse of power for personal gain. You've already caused financial damage to the Cooper Group. " Hannah said, "This crime is clearly written into Northfield's law."
"Don't frame me, Hannah! When did I commit the crime you just mentioned? When!"
"You took advantage of your position to forge Manson's performance report for his personal gain, which caused financial damage of about $200, 000 to the Cooper Group! " Hannah said with great power, "Didn't you do this?! "
"I said no, I didn't! This is only my negligence to management. Do you have any proof that I did this!"
"I don't have proof..."
"Without proof, how can you..."
"I can call the cops!" Hannah said slowly.
Maxwell was shocked as soon as he heard what she said.
"I have two copies of the performance report that can be used as proof. The secret relationship between you and Mason can be regarded as the motive. The witness who can get you convicted... I guess he will show up as soon as possible after the cops come."
"Hannah, you!" Obviously, Maxwell couldn't keep calm again now.
He thought that if she really call the police,
he might not go to jail but he would have a criminal record!
Once he got a criminal record, his son would get restricted in his development in the future, let alone his own career.
After thinking about this,
he was beginning to freeze like a deer in headlights.
"Mr Watson, you want me to call the police, or do you want to admit what you've done!"
With a sullen face, Maxwell was angry and embarrassed.
Why did he let a little girl trick him into this evil trap?
He was going to get her embarrassed this time but now he pushed himself off the cliff.
He stared at Hannah wrathfully,
and couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Everyone's time is precious. But we have wasted enough time, half the morning, to deal with Mason's jumping. So in the end, I'll give you three seconds to think. If you don't want to make your choice, I'll take it as you want me to call the police." Hannah said to Maxwell, with a calm steady tone, "Three, two, one."
Maxwell was shaking all over to take control of his emotions and keeping silent.
Hannah also didn't show great emotions, tonelessly commanding, "Rose, call the cops."
"OK."
Rose looked down and called 911 on her cell phone.
"I admit!" Maxwell suddenly said in a loud voice.
Hannah gave Rose a meaningful look,
so Rose hastily put her phone down.
"I admit I did that. For Ernie, I fake Mason's monthly performance report from below average to first-class. So he could get a good salary in the company even if he was always slacking off at work." Maxwell admitted.
He admitted and was tortured by embarrassment.
"But you only paid Ernie 10, 000 a month. So I don't understand why you had to do something illegal that you knew was wrong. 10, 000 wasn't too much for you, was it? You could just pay her yourself." Actually, Hannah was somewhat surprised at what he had done.
"I just said I've given my salary to my wife so I didn't have spare money at all. As to the dividends I asked for an advance, and I also spent this money on Ernie. I didn't have any extra money every month, so I thought about this way that could solve the problem once and for all. Then I found that this way had another advantage: the higher the employee's salary, the more benefits the Cooper Group would buy for them. So if I utilized my position to give him an extra 10, 000 in salary, he would get much more money than if I directly gave him 10, 000. I'm a businessman so I know the way to get the highest rate of return." Maxwell said. At this moment, he simply didn't have the confidence that he grasped at the beginning and gave a full account of the crime in a desperate manner.
"So you just said, you abuse your power in forging Mason's monthly performance report for his own benefits."
"Yes."Maxwell nodded.
"Then..." Hannah's eyes grown cold, "Today Mason threatened me by jumping, did you instigate him to do this?!"
Maxwell looked her squarely in the eye,
thinking that what more did she want him to do when he was embarrassed and humiliated like this?!
"Um? You don't wanna admit it this time?" Hannah reminded him, "If I remember correctly, it's also illegal to blackmail and threaten others to do things that damage their interests!"
