“Mr. Freeman!”
“Mr. Freeman!”
As the man walked in, the few people who were sitting opposite Lyna rose and greeted him.
The man in question was Wayne Freeman, the general manager of Phoenix Group. The others in the room were leaders of Phoenix Group’s subsidiaries. As they had to report about their work regularly, they knew who Wayne was.
A flicker of surprise flashed across Wayne’s face. He did not know why the rest of them were there.
Wasn’t Mr. Norton looking for me? Did he call for them too? It can’t be!
Wayne nodded, greeting the few of them, before turning to Lyna with a questioning look.
Who’s this woman? Mr. Norton’s wife? She looked a little different at the wedding!
He continued to ponder about the situation. She’s able to attend such an event and can even sit on that seat. Even if she’s not Mr. Norton’s wife, she’s definitely someone with status. Thus, he stretched his hand out to Lyna and said, “Hello, I’m Wayne Freeman, the general manager of Phoenix Group.”
“Hello,” replied Lyna as she put down her cup to shake his hand.
She said with a smile, “Please take a seat, Mr. Freeman.”
Judging by her behavior, Wayne was even more certain of his previous thoughts and could not help but rejoice at his choice of actions.
Once Lyna saw Wayne and a few others taking their seats, she said, “I’ve called everyone here today because there are some things that I want to discuss.”
Several people could not help but become curious. Who is she? Why did she use Mr. Norton’s name to call me in for a meeting? Why did she even call me here?
Noticing their curious looks, Lyna laughed as she took out a document. She glanced at everyone before she pointed to the document and began to read it loudly. “Wayne Freeman, the general manager of Phoenix Group, was found misappropriating twenty million from company funds on this date here, to buy his mistress a luxurious house.”
Wayne’s expression instantly darkened. Now that she had exposed him so publicly, how would he survive in the company from then on?
Recalling her status, Wayne could not help but suck in a breath of air in surprise. Don’t tell me Mr. Norton found out about this? Is he coming for me now?
The remaining people began to have an ominous premonition. Their eyes widened as they stared back and forth between Lyna and Wayne, with their gazes full of surprise and fear.
What’s wrong? Anxious? There’s no hurry; the show hasn’t even started.
Lyna smiled, then pointed at the next line on the document and continued, “On this date, he had…”
With every line she spoke, Wayne’s expression continued to worsen. When she was about to read the fourth line, he could not take it any longer. Wayne shouted, “Enough! Stop reading it!”
He was about to have a mental breakdown at that point. If Fabian found out about his wrongdoings, it was not just a matter of getting fired. Since he had been working for Fabian for so many years, Wayne knew his temper well. When the time came, it would be considered an act of kindness if Fabian just killed him right away.
“Why? Don’t dare to admit what you’ve done?” mocked Lyna as she looked at Wayne, who had paled.
When she noticed the other people in the room looking at her, she slowly narrowed her eyes. “Why? Are you guys surprised? Should I read out yours now?”
“Don’t, don’t…”
“No, no, no.”
Several people had also started to wave their hands in refusal.
Looking at how they were acting, Lyna could not help but mock Fabian. “Huh! I feel sorry for Fabian. No matter how capable he is, he’s destined to fail since his subordinates are such lowlifes like you!”
She’s calling Mr. Norton by his name? She’s definitely not his wife and surely isn’t even on his side!
Once he had that realization, Wayne abruptly stood up and said, “You’re not working for Mr. Norton! Who are you? Why did you call us over using his name?”
She scoffed. “I’d never said anything about working for Fabian.”
