Chapter 269
A stunned Timothy muttered, “Mr. Tompkins? How did it happen?”
He had met Henry’s father a few times. An honest and sincerè man with very few words, Mr. Tompkins
had always been meticulous in his work and was the type of hard-working worker in hispany.
Generally speaking, he wouldn’t have made such a huge mistake that would cost him his job.
“That’s my question as well. My father is a cautious person who has made almost no mistakes in his
unit for almost thirty years. After this sudden investigation, my old man has locked himself in the room
and refused toe out.”
“Didn’t they tell the reason why he’s fired?” Tessa asked.
“They did, saying that he had vited their code of conduct. They went through a bunch of stuff,
including his cell phone andputer. In the end, they came up with a software and called it the
evidence. They’re simply unreasonable!” The more Henry thought about it, the angrier he became.
“Then, did you try to ask?” Tessa asked again. “For an issue like this, you have to confront them
personally to make things clear. They can’t just frame the innocent.”
“Of course I did, and I went straight after my dad told me about it. Not only did they not give me an
answer, they even said that I was disrupting theirpany’s protocol and wanted to call the cops on
me. Unreasonable!” he said in a resigned manner.
Today, he had made a few trips back and forth, but he was thrown out every time without even the
chance to exin anything. He even pulled some strings and went inside to look for thepany
owner directly, but still, nothing could be done.
After hearing everything, Tessa and Timothy exchanged nces with each other.
Somehow, they felt that this issue had a striking resemnce to what had happened to Timothy today.
The only difference was that the evidence provided by the university was weak, which was how
Timothy avoided being expelled.
On the other hand, what happened to Mr. Tompkins was sudden and the other party was unreasonable
to have fired him without listening to any justifications.
The other party really had evidence in their hands, and even if all three of them felt that this incident
was weird, they couldn’t say what was wrong about it.
Patting Henry’s shoulder, Tessaforted. “It will be fine. Maybe it’s just a misunderstanding. When
the truthes to light very soon, they’ll definitely allow Mr. Tompkins back to work.”
“That will be the best, but I’m worried that hispany won’t admit their mistake. There isn’t a
company who would voluntarily admit their mistake and not let their employees take the me,” Henry
said, helpless. “Moreover, even though my dad doesn’t speak much, he’s very stubborn. Even if they
come and look for him after giving him the boot, he would never return as well because he’s a very
proud person. Still, he had worked in thatpany for so many years and has developed feelings for it.
Always busy with work, he must be upset now that he suddenly lost his job, and I think it will be difficult
for him to snap out of it.”.
Tessa was silent for a few seconds; she happened to understand this kind of feeling. For sure, he
would be feeling upset because when Nichs wanted her to return back then, she had also turned
him down directly.
After a sigh, she thenmented, “You shouldn’t worry so much. Mr. Tompkins will be fine. It’s not a
big deal if he has an early retirement since you are capable of providing for them. You can even let
them go on vacations.”
Nodding in agreement, Henry responded, “I think the same as well. I’ll speak to him again when I get
back.”
On the other hand, Timothy patted his shoulder without saying anything. Sometimes between best
friends, there was absolutely no need to say anything extra when just one small gesture was the best
encouragement.
Casting the both of them a grateful look, Henry recovered his spirit and energy. “Okay, I’m alright. Let’s
get back to work. There are many things to get done today.”
“Wait a moment, you guys can’t go in. Who are you people?”
From outside the office, amotion had started.
“Get your boss out here,” a very rough, loud voice boomed.

“Sir, do you have any business here? May I ask if you have an appointment?” the receptionist asked.
“Why does a small sh*ttypany need an appointment? I want to see him right now; otherwise, I’ll
tear down this garbagepany of yours,” the man threatened.
As the man sounded really vulgar, Timothy couldn’t help but furrow his brows and exchange a look with
Henry. Turning back to Tessa, he said, “Tess, stay inside for now. I’m going outside to check it out with
Henry.”
