Chapter 493 You Can Head Back First


    Christina took a deep breath. She turned to face the project director, a youngdy in her early twenties.


    “Have you thought things through before owning up to the charges? Once you’re proven guilty, you will


    not only have to return the money but your license will also be revoked. In the end, you’ll be cklisted


    by all major corporations.”


    To a young female employee like her, such dire consequences spelled the end of her career.


    The director had made up her mind to risk everything. Biting the bullet, she said, “I was the one who


    fabricated all these documents. Ms. Gibson truly had no idea. Whenever I presented the documents for


    signing. I included the false ounts and secretly withdrew themissions.”


    This project director had been working for Anya for a long time. Christina didn’t expect Anya to


    abandon the project director to save herself.


    Christina’s expression clouded over as she immediately called security to bring the project director


    away.


    The atmosphere in the conference room couldn’t be any more tense.


    Actually, everyone knew what was going on, but no one dared to speak up.


    Christina didn’t expect Anya to have an escape n and let the project director take the me.


    However, Christina wouldn’t let her get out of this easily.


    Christina red at Anya and said sternly, “Although


    consider the mastermind behind this wasn’t you, you were


    negligent in your supervision, which is considered dereliction of duty. This shows that you’re not


    suitable


    Starting today, you’ll be demoted to the position of project group leader.


    think about getting promoted.”


    for the position of vice presidene standard, don’t e


    If your performance doesn’t meet


    With that, Christina looked at everyone and said, “The meeting is adjourned.”


    She then walked out of the conference room.


    Anya was naturally upset since she had joined thepany as a director and was now demoted to a


    mere employee.


    However, she could only bear with it no matter how resentful she was at that moment.


    In the office, Christina received a name list from the director of the HR department. It was a list of


    employees that worked under Anya. “They’re all fired.”


    “Yes, Ms. Steele.” The HR department’s director took the list back from Christina and left.


    Even though she couldn’t remove Anya from thepany, she removed thetter’s closest allies. This


    would likely prevent Anya from causing any more trouble from now on.


    After settling everything, she heaved a sigh of relief and reclined in her chair.


    At this moment, the door was pushed open.


    Christina was resting with her eyes closed, so she assumed it was her assistant who had to grab the


    first aid kit. “Just put it down. I’ll take care of it myself.”


    The footsteps approached her and didn’t stop until the person was behind her.


    Christina immediately grew wary and stood up abruptly. Subsequently, she met the man’s jet-ck


    eyes.


    Nathaniel set aside the first aid kit he was holding and inspected the wound on her forehead while


    wearing an apathetic expression.


    Upon feeling the warmth from his fingertips, Christina instinctively recoiled. “It hurts.”


    Her voice was so delicate and tender that Nathaniel’s heart almost melted.


    His movements slowed down as he carefully disinfected her wound and blew on it to ease the pain.


    “Those people have been caught, but none of them confessed who the mastermind was.”


    “They won’t necessarily tell the truth even if they do confess,” Christina added.


    After seeing Anya’s tactics just now, she was sure Anya hade up with a way to escape unscathed.


    A dark glint shed across Nathaniel’s eyes. “I won’t let her get away with it so easily.” —


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    His tone was light, but the chilly aura he exuded was palpable.


    Christina nodded. “However, she’s my cousin and someone my grandmother treasures. I can’t bring


    myself to harm her.”


    Sometimes, she hated herself for being so soft-hearted. Even if others were cruel to her, she couldn’t


    bring herself to hurt them.


    “You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll take care of it.” Nathaniel carefully bandaged her wound and


    stopped mentioning this topic.


    At that moment, Christina’s phone rang.


    It was a call from Sheridan.


    “Christina, I heard you’re back. Did the information help you?” Sheridan’s voice was as gentle as the


    setting sun.


    Although Nathaniel and Sheridan were both men, Nathaniel was like a scorching sun at noon, capable


    of melting the coldest heart. Sheridan, on the other hand, waspletely different from him.


    “It has helped me tremendously! Thank you! Please send me the bill.” Christina smiled.


    Things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly if she didn’t have Sheridan helping her.


    Sheridan chuckled. “I’ve already asked my assistant to send it. Have you eaten lunch? I know a nice


    restaurant. Shall we go and grab lunch together?”


    Christina hesitated as she nced at Nathaniel, whose expression had darkened. “Of course, but…”


    She was about to suggest making ns for another time when Sheridan interrupted, “I’m already


    downstairs at yourpany. Come down.”


    With that, Sheridan hung up the phone.


    So fast? He’s already downstairs?


    Christina shot an awkward nce at Nathaniel. “How about you go back first? We’ll grab dinner


    together, okay?”
