Chapter 540


    Jean nted her head and considered. “Probably not. I can see they are not using much force and are


    showing mercy to each other. Mr. nc could have kicked that person, but he grabbed him by his suit


    instead.”


    Edgar raised his eyebrows. “You are very observant.”


    Jean looked at him strangely. “Stop ttering me. It sounds fake.”


    Edgar smiled at being caught. Then, he followed her into Royden Tower.


    John and the others suddenly stopped fighting.


    That’s enough. Why are we fighting here? They have gone upstairs. We should rush there and find out


    the truth.”


    John ttened the creases on his suit and said furiously, “We have worked together for so many years.


    How can all of you still not trust me?”


    The other directors did not bother to be polite.


    ‘You should do your job well before asking us to trust you. Hmph.”


    Then, they split into two groups and entered the elevator one after another. Each group refused to look


    at the other.


    Later, more members of the board of directors arrived. They gathered in groups of two or three to


    strategize for the future. They also could not figure out what Edgar was nning.


    “Ever since he bought over Eyer Group, Mr. Edgar is no longer interested inpany matters. I think


    that Eyer woman is behind the things that happened to Mr. Edbert recently.” “I heard she is pregnant.


    Does she have Mr. Edgar’s baby?” “If she is…” “If you all wish to discuss this matter, you can speak a


    little louder. Isn’t it faster to ask me?” Jean smiled coldly and nced at a few faces. “Harold Baldwin,


    Theo Simpson, Jared Hester…”


    She called out their names one by one.


    “Mr. Edgar wishes to see you. Please head in.”


    She did not call everyone but selected a few people closest to Edbert.


    Those whose names were called exchanged nces. “This doesn’t feel right. If there is any matter, it


    should be brought out to be discussed by everyone.”


    Jean could not resist augh.


    “It’s about the sh*t you did. Are you sure you want me to expose them to everyone? If you don’t care


    about your reputation, I don’t mind. I’ll inform him now.”


    Jean was about to turn around when Harold called after her. “No, don’t. Ms. Eyer, we will head in now.”


    He nced at the other two beside him.


    They knew what they did should not be revealed to the public.


    Edbert managed to take advantage of their weaknesses, leaving them at his mercy. It was now their


    chance to break free from him.


    Jean watched them enter the room and smiled.


    Then, she raised her wrist to look at the time before calling Miles. “You can begin.”


    She hoped everyone would like the presents she had prepared today.


    While the people upstairs were having a meeting, Jean went to the human resource department. She


    handed over a name list and said, “Fire everyone on this list.” “All of them?”


    Mr. Wheeler, the human resource department manager, saw three pages of the name list and was


    stunned. He smiled and asked, “Ms. Eyer, did Mr. Royden instruct this?” “Huh?”


    Jean’s gaze turned cold. “Do you think I’m lying?” “That’s not what I mean. It’s a major change to the


    company’s personnel. May I confirm with Mr. Royden about this?” Mr. Wheeler’s voice kept turning


    softer.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Jean pulled out her phone and dialed Edgar’s number.


    “Ask away.”


    Mr. Wheeler epted the phone nervously. However, the voice at the other end was not Edgar’s but


    someone’s cry for forgiveness.


    “Mr. Edgar, we were wrong!” “Please forgive us this time. We don’t dare to do it again.”


    Mr. Wheeler could identify those directors’ voices and hung up immediately. “Ms. Eyer, please wait for a


    moment. I’ll get it done immediately.”


    In less than twenty minutes, every staff named on the list was dismissed.


    A few came to the human resource department, but Jean asked them a few questions and rendered


    them speechless.


    Last month, Edgar also terminated some people when he returned to his position as the president of


    Royden Group. However, the people on the list were safe then. This time, Jean was determined to


    make Edbert feel pain.


    She would pull out every snare Edbert nted in thepany all these years.


    Then, Jean wished to see whether he could maintain his peaceful and gentlemanly act.


    “Mr. Wheeler, what’s going on? Did my department offend you? Why is everyone…” A chubby man


    barged in furiously and suddenly noticed Jean sitting there.


    He was briefly stunned before asking rudely, “What’s going on in thispany? How can they let a


    woman cause a ruckus? Is the Royden family still in charge of this ce?”


    Those words were not what a person in his position would dare to say. It seemed someone had


    instructed him in secret.


    It made sense. After all that Jean did this afternoon, the other side was bound to respond. Otherwise,


    this one-sided game was getting boring.


    Do you have any objections?


    Jean stared at him coldly.


    The slightly bold makeup enhanced her beautiful face and exquisite facial features. It made her seem


    stern and intimidating.


    The man could not stand being humiliated like this. Furthermore, all the staff from the human resource


    department were looking at him.


    He immediately felt embarrassed.


    Then, he recalled Edbert had talked on the phone and promised him more significant responsibilities.


    Thus, the chubby man immediately became courageous again.


    He threw the document in his hand onto the table with a loud thud. Then, he continued rudely, “My


    subordinates have served thepany well for many years and umted a list of clients. We have


    served thispany tirelessly. How can you fire someone without warning? Your actions are hurtful to


    senior staff like us.”


    “I’m warning you. Don’t go overboard. Otherwise, we will leave and bring a group of major clients with


    us. Then, Royden Group will suffer loss.”


    Jean found his self-righteous threats ridiculous, but she still let him finish speaking.


    “Is that all?”


    Jean asked him back and sneered. She raised her eyebrows and said coldly, “Did you say ‘we’just


    now? Can I take it to mean that you will be siding with your subordinates and protecting them?”


    He cleared his throat and answered firmly, “Yes!”


    Mr. Wheeler, add his name to the list.”


    Jean ordered casually and got up to leave.


    The man was stunned and yelled at her, “How dare you fire me? Do you know I…” “Know what? Even


    if Edbert now stands before me, my decision is still the same. If you don’t believe me, tell him toe


    to find me and defend you.” Jean narrowed her eyes. “Or perhaps, you thought no one would dare to


    fire you as long as that old man is around.” “You!” Jean’s words rendered him speechless. Then, he


    argued, “Who are you to decide for Royden Group? Who do you think you are?”
