Chapter 5
Donald was startled by Fade''s fierce eyes, but then he came to his senses in a quick while. He
frowned and said with a sour tone, "I said you are a thief, an uncivilized b*stard."
"Roar!"
With a roar, Fade became angry in an instant. Fade did not mind the insults, but for someone who
had been an orphan since his childhood, he would never bear with anyone insulting his parents.
Donald had crossed his borders. At this moment, Fade did not care about the consequences; he
just wanted to teach the guy a good lesson.
Taking a step forward, Fade went in front of Donald in no time, and Fade swung his fist.
Donald did not expect Fade to be so aggressive that he had no time to beware of Fade’s fist. Thus,
Donald was hit sharply in the face and he fell to the ground with blood all over his face.
Fade did not stop; instead, he continued the fight. Fade''s fists and kicksnded on Donald without
any hesitation, sending Donald into screams and shouts of pain.
The pain from the beating made Donald wailed and shouted quickly for help, "Security guard,
security guard, what are you waiting for? Come and help me! Take this nut away! Quickly
All of a sudden, the security guards came to their senses and hurried forward to rescue Donald.
However, the security guards did not expect Fade to be so fierce that the security guards were not
his match.
Donald was still being beaten up, his blood dripped down from his face.
Suddenly, a cold female voice was heard, "Stop! What are you doing?"
Trailing the source of the voice, everyone was shocked. They immediately bowed and whispered,
"President Lin!"
Fade, who was in a furious state, also gradually calmed down when he saw Quin walking over to
him. Finally, Fade stopped the beating. Donald covered his swollen cheeks and shouted wildly,
"Come on! Someone beat him to death!"
"Shut up, all of you. Come to my office," Quin said coldly. Then, she turned around and left.
Donald red at Fade and followed Quin. Fade looked back at Donald expressionless and was
about to follow them.
Just as Fade was about to take his first step, Xenia came over and persuaded him in a soft voice,
"Fade, President Lin doesn''t favor people who talk back to her. Don''t be impulsive in front of her."
"I know. Thank you, Xenia!" Fade smiled at Xenia and waved his hand before following Donald and
Quin.
In the president''s office on the top floor.
Quin''s eyes swept across Donald''s whole figure. When Quin saw Donald''s bruises, she said,
"Secretary Qin, you may deal with your wound first."
When Donald heard this, a smile formed on his lips. Donald nned to get up and leave, but when
he thought that Fade will be left alone with Quin, he was afraid that Fade might tell Quin the real
situation.
Thinking of that, Donald decided not to leave; instead, with a righteous look, he said "President Lin,
the matters of thepany are more important. Let''s solve the current problem first. My injury is
nothing."
Hearing this, Quin looked at Donald with a smile. Quin nodded to Donald and said, "Then, Secretary
Qin, have a sit and talk!"
"Thank you, President Lin." Donald sat down and looked at Fade proudly.
Quin then looked away from Donald and locked her gaze on Fade, a sudden drop in her tone, "Tell
me, what''s going on?"
Fade looked at the difference in Quin''s attitude towards both of them; he felt disappointed.
"Why aren’t you speaking? Weren''t you very active downstairs?" Quin said coldly.
The voice woke Fade from his thoughts. Fade looked up at Quin and said, "I..."
However, before Fade could say anything, Donald, who was sitting at the side, suddenly spoke,
"President Lin, speaking of this matter, it''s actually my fault. I did not manage my staff well, and I did
not solve the theft in the wisest way. Please punish me."
This statement startled both Fade and Quin.
Fade immediately understood what was going on when he saw Quin''s expression changing.
Donald knew that this matter would likely be a debate between both parties, and Quin hated
those who avoided responsibility the most. Therefore, Donald took the initiative to admit his
mistake, portraying himself as someone with a high sense of responsibility. At the same time,
Donald was also able to put the name of "thief" on Fade
Fade had no choice but to admit that Donald was indeed the secretary of the president''s office. His
survival skills in the workce were indeed sinister.
After thinking it through, Fade red at Donald and he tried to exin himself to Quin.
However, it was obvious that this trick of Donald worked very well on Quin. Donald''s statement
made Quin rxed and she looked at Donald, "Secretary Qin, tell me, what''s going on?"
Covering his wound, Donald frowned and sighed. Shaking his head gently, Donald said, "President
Lin, it''s actually not a big deal."
"In the afternoon, I heard that there was a neer in the medical room, and his skills were good.
As I didn''t feel very well, I went to the medical room for treatment. However, I didn''t expect that this
neer, Mr. Chen, somehow seemed to have some misunderstandings with me and was not
willing to diagnose me."
"At that time, I was agitated due to my illness, so I wanted to punish Mr. Chen for not doing his work
properly. In the end, Mr. Chen was also agitated and even wanted to fight me."
"Of course I wouldn''t fight him, so I called the security guard to stop him. When the security guard
started to take action, one of them identally found some pills on Fade. I heard from Xenia who
works in the medical room that those were imported pills, which were worth more than 10,000
Yuan."
"Nonsense! I''ll beat you to death!" Fade was furious when he heard that Donald was making false
statements and hiding the truth.
"Stop, Fade!" Quin frowned and shouted. The stare Quin threw at Fade was filled with even more
dissatisfaction. At this moment, Quin slightly regretted her decision of casually finding this man to
deal with the forced marriage.
At the same time, Fade looked at Quin and thought of their rtionship. Fade then took a deep
breath and tried hard to suppress the urge he felt to beat someone up. Fade exined, "President
Lin, the situation is definitely not what Donald had said. At that time, I—"
However, as soon as he spoke, Quin interrupted him coldly. "I didn''t ask you to speak. I only want to
ask you a question. Is what Secretary Qin said true?"
Fade shook his head and said, "Of course not."
Donald raised his eyebrows and interjected, "How dare you say it''s not true? Let me ask you, which
of the scenarios I''m telling is not true? Besides, the imported pills have now been confiscated from
you, and this is strong evidence. Do you want to deny it? In the end, it is also true that you have
beaten me up, isn’ t it right?"
"Those, I can exin. The matter —" Fade red at Donald and still tried to exin himself.
However, Quin did not give him a chance as she already seemed to be a little impatient. Quin
waved her hand to interrupt him and said coldly, "Don''t make excuses. You just need to answer me.
Did what Secretary Qin says really happened?"
Looking at Quin''s cold eyes, Fade felt a sudden pain in his heart, and then a feeling of helplessness
and sadness welled up in his heart. The anger and the desire to fight in him disappeared in an
instant.
Fade''s mouth twitched slightly and formed a bitter smile on his face. Fade then shed a cynical evil
smile and said, "Since President Lin already has an answer in your heart, then it doesn’t matter
what I have to say. My answer is ''Yes''."
Hearing this, disappointment shed through Quin’s eyes, and it then turned into a formal look with
a little coldness. Quin said, "Since you have admitted it, then there is nothing more to say. As you
are a neer, I will not fire you for the time being. However, you must be severely punished. Your
sry for two months will be deducted, and you shall make a self-review in front of all the staff in
the nextpany meeting."
After she finished her sentence, Quin handed Fade a document and coldly said, "This is an
announcement for your punishment. You may have a look; if there''s no objection, this case is
considered settled."
"It doesn''t matter; it''s up to you." Without even looking at the document, Fade turned around and
walked towards the door of the office.
At this particr moment, Fade had decided to leave.
Although they were together because of that incident, they were not from the same world after all. If
this rtionship continues, there will only be more conflicts. If this was the case, it was better to
leave.
As for "Ice Lotus", he did not actually care that much for the "Ice Lotus" at this moment.
Quin looked at Fade''s attitude and she immediately frowned with dissatisfaction. Quin felt that her
punishment was actually light for Fade. If it wasn''t for the special rtionship between them, Quin
would have dismissed him. Now, Fade seems to be dissatisfied with the punishment. "This guy-"
A sense of disappointment surged in Quin''s heart. Waving her hand, Quin said, "You may leave
now!"
Fade did not say anything and turned around to walk out of the office. Donald, at this moment, was
full of arrogance and pride, as if he had won a battle.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and a woman''s voice was heard. "President Lin, this is
Lily. I have something important to be reported to you."
"Lily?" Quin paused for a moment; apparently, she was not expecting Lily toe at this hour. After
a short pause, Quin said, "Come in, Lily."Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
