Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 72

Joye just finished the call, and Johnson had went back.

He looked at Joye unhappily, "You are the director. You should maintain a neutral stance to solve the problem. What's wrong with Lily? just works and doesn’t bother others. Why do you always find fault with her?"

"Johnson, we all really know if Lily's ability to be the group leader." Joye made a sarcastic retort.

"Alright, what are you implying now? Stop your nonsense." He then walked into the office.

Seeing him, Lily went hurriedly to him and cried.

"Johnson, at the cafeteria this afternoon, I heard Wendy and Avril talking bad about me, so I questioned them about that. Jimmy likes Wendy, so he spoke up for her. I don't why Joye also bullied me too. So I called for you help."

Johnson looked at Wendy unhappily, "You again?"

"Johnson, you have wronged me. Lily explained it very clear that Avril was also with me at that time."

So Johnson looked to Avril, "Did you say bad things about Lily?"

Avril immediately stood up to shake her head. "No, I did not. Wendy made a few complaints about Lily. But I was listening to her."

Wendy put on  a disdainful smile, "Lily is also very clear about whose voice she had heard."

"I don't care. I just know you've said bad things on me."

Wendy clenched her fist for she had no evidence to prove herself. 

Johnson was displeased for her silence. "Alright, you all should stop here. Wendy, you are fired. Ever since you came here, you always caused trouble. I will call the Finance Department to settle your salary. You don't need come here tomorrow."

Wendy looked up at him.

If she was fired, she would lose Henson's face.

After all, this was Henson's first time to use his power to get someone in his company.

"I can not convinced by that. Why should I leave for this?"

Joye also said, "Wendy did nothing wrong. We should treat everyone equally, right? Johnson."

"Are you the leader of this Training Department?"

Johnson just finished speaking, a cold and charming voice coming from outside.

"I don't know when our managers of departments have such a big power?"

Everyone turned to look at the door.

Henson appearing, the entire office fell into silence.

After having a quick look at Henson, Wendy shifted her eyes to Joye.

She guessed Joye had asked for Henson's help.

But she never thought he would come down personally.

Later if he had any interactions with her… Then everyone may know their relationship...

What was the point of working here if being wronged in that way?

Henson's eyes swept across everyone.

He did not miss the panic look on Wendy's face.

When Johnson saw him, he hurried forward. "Mr. Charles, why are you here personally??"

"What do you think?"

Everyone were gathering around Wendy.

Henson walked over to her and casually pulled over her chair to sit down.

Wendy retreated a few steps back hurriedly, trying to keep a distance. She was slightly worried as well.

Johnson winked at Lily, "Go to bring some coffee to Mr. Charles."

Lily was just about to go to the pantry. But Henson coldly said, "No need for that, I'm not here to drink coffee."

Then he pointed Joye and asked her, "Tell me your views based on the situation you just reported to me."

Johnson was startled for this.

She was just a group leader. Why Mr. Charles... Did they know each other?

All the people shifted their gazes to Joye.

No one knew Joye knew Henson.

Lily was surprised too.

Joye slanted her eyes to Lily, "Mr. Charles, I don’t know if Wendy said bad words on Lily. I wasn't there. About saying bad things behind people, Lily has done a lot. We all have been scolded by her before.

"

She looked around and asked, "If you have not been scolded by Lily, please raise your hands."

No one raised the hand.

Lily became anxious. "When have done that? Don't think that you can slander me so easily in this way. I won't admit the frame."

Jimmy who was watching the show before suddenly said, "Lily, even if you didn't admit it, but we all know you have done that. Half a month ago, you said you needed company’s car to accompany Johnson to eat lunch, then you got our car, which should sent us to the base to teach classes."

"Jimmy, what are you talking? I have never had lunch with Lily before." Johnson said unhappily.

"That are Lily's words."

Johnson did not say anything to that.

The other colleague also complained, "Back the, it cost us four hundred dollars. And we can't complain."

Lily shouted and pointed at Jimmy, "Jimmy, everyone knows you like Wendy. You are lying for her."

Jimmy curled his lips. "Lily, that's my private thing. But you can't say I am lying."

Henson raised his eyebrows. Then he looked at Jimmy.

At the same time, Joye glanced at Henson sneakily.

Henson retracted his gaze, not looking back to Wendy, who felt guilty.

"You mean Lily misappropriated the company's public resources?"

Jimmy nodded his head. "Yes."

Joye thought of something. So she went back to her desk. She then opened a drawer to get a document to Henson.

"Mr. Charles, these are all the evidences about Lily's misappropriation of the company's resources."

Henson received it and flipped through it.

Lily swallowed her saliva nervously. Then she looked to Johnson for help.

Johnson shook his head at her.

Henson laughed coldly, throwing the documents back to Johnson. He said, "Look at what she has done. Then tell me what will you do about this?"
