When Madien and Amily heard this, they thought that Charlie would not hold it against them, and their expressions instantly relaxed.
However, Charlie then said coldly, “But today is an exception!”
The two resumed trembling in fright when they heard this.
Charlie looked at Madien and said calmly, “Mr. Peterson, I’ll talk to you separately later.”
After saying that, he looked at Amily again and smiled faintly as he said, “Miss Wang, it’s fine if you question me, but you were also extremely sarcastic toward my wife. You even said that she was evil-minded and malicious. No matter how good-tempered I am, it’s impossible for me to put up with you humiliating my wife.”
Amily’s face turned pale, and she hurriedly explained, “Mr. Wade, I... I simply said the wrong thing on impulse. Don’t... Don’t get me wrong...”
Having said that, she hurriedly looked at Claire and pleaded, “Claire, please forgive me this time on the account that I didn't do it intentionally...”
Before Claire could speak, Kathleen, who was aside, spoke up first and said, “Claire is my good friend, and Mr. Wade is my benefactor. How dare you speak rudely to them?! I won’t forgive you even if Mr. Wade and Claire are willing to forgive you today!”
After that, Kathleen looked at Amily and said coldly, “In my opinion, people like you should not stay in the design industry! I will make a suggestion to the International Federation of Designers to ban designers with poor character and morals like you from the industry!”
Amily almost fainted when she heard this.
This huge difference made her feel incomparable regret, so she knelt before Charlie and Kathleen without hesitation, sobbed, and said, “Mr. Wade and Miss Fox, please forgive me this time for not knowing any better. I... I’ve had a hard time getting to where I am today. I’ll be left with nothing if the two of you really ban me...”
Kathleen glanced at her and then turned to look at Madien, who was aside, as she asked him with great interest, “Mr. Peterson, you should also be responsible for making such an employee a senior partner in your company, right?”
Madien was startled and frightened when he heard this. He hurriedly made his attitude clear as he said,” Miss Fox, as the saying goes, one could know a person for a long time without knowing their true nature. I didn’t really know what kind of person Amily was... but you’re right. As the chairman of the company, I have an unshirkable responsibility. You can rest assured that I will call the company’s human resources director immediately to handle Amily’s termination procedures, and we will never hire her again in the future!”
Amily had originally thought that Madien would help her out, but she did not expect him to betray her at such a critical moment!
So, she immediately became furious and cursed hysterically, “Peterson! You b*stard! I did all this for you, but you dare to turn your back on me at this time? Are you still a f*cking human being?!”
