Chapter 139 You Two Have Been Fired
"Ms Knight, I''m sorry. It''s my fault that you got involved," Ava Jones said with a guilty expression.
"It''s not your fault," Harleen gave her a smile. "Even if it wasn''t this incident, something else would
have happened eventually. And I''ll quit sooner orter because of him."
"But, it''s because of me..." Ava Jones continued.
"It has nothing to do with you, okay?" Harleen smiled again.
Ava Jones took a deep breath and her eyes shed with determination as she turned to Gerald
Patton and said loudly, "I don''t want to work for this kind ofpany anymore. I resign!"
"Get out!" Gerald Patton was furious again and shouted angrily, "Both of you get out of thepany
right now!"
"The one who should leave is you!" Just then, a woman''s voice rang out.
Harper Rodriguez led a group of people into the room.
"Ms Rodriguez!"
Upon seeing Harper Rodriguez, both Harleen and Ava Jones eximed in unison.
"Ms Rodriguez," Isabe Martinez also reluctantly called out with disdain in her eyes.
Although Harper Rodriguez was the general manager of thepany, she didn''t hold as much
power in Isabe Martinez''s eyes as the vice general manager Gerald Patton did.
"What do you mean by that?" Gerald Patton''s face darkened as he heard Harper''s words. He rarely
heard her speak to him in such a tone before.
"Don''t you understand what I''m saying?" Harper Rodriguez responded coldly, "I am officially
notifying you and Isabe Martinez that you are both fired!"
As she spoke, she couldn''t help but feel a sense of relief. She had arrived just in time to prevent a
major incident from urring.
Derek had made it clear that no harm shoulde to Harleen Knight while she was working at this
company, but now it seemed like she was about to be fired. If Harleen was dismissed today, there
would be no way for her to continue as the general manager.
"Hmm?" Gerald Patton furrowed his brow. "Harper Rodriguez, do you even know what you''re talking
about?"
''How dare a woman like you speak to me like this? A poser!'' Geraldined inwardly with fury.
"I know exactly what I''m saying!" Harper Rodriguez replied before turning her head towards a man
behind her. "Director Lau, please call up some security guards and have them watch these two.
Also, inform the finance department topile a list of all the money they''ve embezzled from the
company over these years. And then call the police, tell them that there has been abuse of power
and harassment against female employees in ourpany!"
The surrounding crowd gasped at her words.
Everyone was surprised at Harper''s sudden courage today - she used to be too scared even raise
her voice in front of Gerald Patton.
"Director Lau, didn''t you hear me?" Harper continued looking at HR Director who was still stunned
by everything happening around him.
Her confidence came naturally from Derek.
Before that, when Derek briefed her on the situation, she took the opportunity to share her
difficulties with him. Upon hearing that there was a pest like Gerald Patton in thepany, Derek
mmed his hand on the table and demanded that she immediately deal with both Gerald Patton
and Isabe Martinez. He also instructed her to tell him who Gerald Patton''s so-called backer was
and then made a call in front of her. After Derek''s phone call, Harper had no more worries anymore.
Finally, Derek reminded her not to let Harleen know that SunPark Group was now a subsidiary of
World Group.
Marco Lau nodded vigorously after reacting, "Got it!"
After hearing Harper Rodriguez''s words, Gerald Patton grabbed his tea cup and smashed it hard on
the ground.
"Harper Rodriguez, I think you want to lose your job. How dare you speak so arrogantly!" After
speaking, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"That''s right! Who does she think she is?" Isabe Martinez echoed from the side, "Letting her stay
in this position as the general manager is just making her a puppet. She really thinks highly of
herself!"
As she spoke, Isabe stared at Harper with a contemptuous expression.
"You two will soon find out who is talking nonsense," Harper said before turning around to face
Harleen apologetically. "Ms Knight, I''m so sorry on behalf of ourpany. I promise this won''t
happen again."
"Ms Rodriguez, you''re too kind," Harleen blinked and stuttered, "I''m... I''m fine..."
Harper Rodriguez''s overly humble attitude surprised her. It didn''t seem like the typical superior-
subordinate rtionship.
"It''s good that you''re okay." Harper Rodriguez replied. "By the way, I''ve been so busytely that I
haven''t had a chance to properly introduce thepany to you. It''s my fault. When are you free
today? Come find me and I''ll give you a simple onboarding training."
Harleen blinked again before responding, "Thank you, Ms Rodriguez."
On her first day at work, Harleen had already received an onboarding training from the HR director
but never heard of a CEO personally giving one.
"That''s what I should do." Harper Rodriguez smiled in response.
Suddenly, Gerald Patton walked up to them with a pale face and knelt down without warning.
"Ms Rodriguez, I ''m sorry. I truly made a mistake, please spare me this time, okay? I... I''m willing to
compensate financially. I''ll return all the embezzled money to thepany. Additionally, I''m willing
to offer five million more aspensation to a few female employees..." Gerald Patton stared
pleading.
He couldn''t help but panic. The call he had just made was to his backer, but before he could say a
word, he was scolded in a humiliating manner. At the same time, he was warned that it would be in
his best interest to apologize to Harper Rodriguez immediately; otherwise, it wouldn''t just be him
who would be affected, but his backer would face consequences.
Gerald was also told that Harper Rodriguez''s current supporters would treat killing him, Gerald
Patton, no differently from squashing an insect.
Therefore, Gerald was left with no more thoughts, only pleading for Harper Rodriguez''s mercy.
Seeing this scene, those bystanders were all overtaken by shock; they didn''t understand what
scared Gerald Patton like this.
"Mr Patton, what''s wrong with you? What happened..." Isabe Martinez trembled all over and
hurriedly approached him.
Before she could finish her sentence, Gerald Patton''s hand shot out, delivering a p across her
face.
"Bitch, if you don''t want to end up in jail, kneel down and beg Ms Rodriguez for forgiveness NOW!"
"Why... why?" Isabe Martinez held half of her face.
"If you talk back again, I''ll have you taken to the police station first!" Gerald Patton shouted angrily.
Without any hesitation, Isabe Martinez''s legs bent as she knelt down. From Gerald Patton''s eyes,
she could tell that his words were not an empty threat.
"Ms Rodriguez, I''m sorry, I beg for your forgiveness..."
