Chapter 2696 - 169: Does an Internship Period Newcomer Have the Right to Teach Him How to Do His Job?
Molly Wellington smiled. She had only seen Director Hamilton a few times before, always when she occasionally went to Royal Palace with Lulu and Yana and happened to bump into him in Mr. Lucas’s office.
She realized that the other party recognized her at a glance.
Molly Wellington certainly didn’t know.
As Dylan Wellington’s daughter, in the upper-class circle of A City, she was naturally known by everyone.
Director Hamilton was a senior executive at Royal Palace, having naturally witnessed Miss Wellington’s elegance at various banquets.
"No need to make it so complicated... The merger case between Loyalty Group and our Royal Palace is almost settled. Keep them for now for the next two days, and deal with it once back at the company."
Molly Wellington wasn’t soft-hearted; dealing with Maggie and Stella Brown at the villa now, the other colleagues in the branch wouldn’t understand what was going on.
By the time rumors spread, malicious individuals might spin unfavorable messages against the company.
Maggie and Stella Brown’s actions had long exceeded her tolerance level.
But if Molly Wellington wanted to address it, it had to be done at the company in front of all the other colleagues.
At the very least, it must be done in such a way that others have nothing to say and are convinced.
Director Hamilton was naturally very cooperative with Molly Wellington’s words.
He wasn’t being obsequious, as even a simple-minded person could see that Maggie and Mr. Brown were smearing Miss Wellington.
The Wellington and Lucas families had close ties, and Molly Wellington was raised under the watchful eyes of Mr. Lucas and Madam. Saying she betrayed the company interests for the second heir was simply foolish.
As for the claim that Miss Wellington stole from Redington Young Master, that was just... that was even more preposterous.
Director Hamilton shook his head privately, it seemed those two employees, oblivious to the facts, were in for a hard time.
...
Soon, Molly Wellington and Director Hamilton emerged from the small conference room together.
Everyone from Royal Palace was waiting outside, and even the people from Loyalty Group had come upon hearing the news.
Stella Brown rushed forward as soon as she saw them: "So, Director Hamilton, has the matter been clarified? How does Headquarters plan to discipline Molly Wellington? If she’s suspected of commercial crime, do we need to call the police..."
That was truly ruthless, not only wanting Molly Wellington fired but also dealt with by the police.
"Everything has been clarified. Secretary Wellington has no problems whatsoever, no need for discipline, and certainly no need for police involvement." Director Hamilton’s expression was utterly serious and cold, carrying the authority of a senior executive from Headquarters.
"How can there be no issues..." Maggie exclaimed softly upon hearing this, unable to remain calm.
But her reaction was already much better than Stella Brown’s.
Stella Brown even blurted out in haste: "We’ve personally seen Molly Wellington slack off at work, flatter her superiors, and make eyes at the rival company... Director Hamilton, how on earth did you conduct your investigation to miss all this!"
Director Hamilton glared coldly at Stella Brown, not hiding the dislike in his eyes: "Oh, Mr. Brown, are you, a mere intern, qualified to teach me how to do my job?"
Stella Brown paused, suddenly realizing she had misspoken.
Maggie hurriedly tried to smooth things over, but Director Hamilton’s expression had already turned visibly unpleasant.
The crowd present immediately understood that even though this senior executive from Headquarters had come, he had no intention of reprimanding Secretary Wellington.
In contrast, he seemed highly displeased by Maggie and Mr. Brown who were sneaking around breaking news behind the scenes.
No one here was foolish; in the corporate world, maintaining one’s integrity was more important.
Not to mention, the least liked people in an office are those who report others at will.
Maggie, who was experienced, realized she had committed a grave mistake given the situation.
But Stella Brown, impulsive as she was, failed to see her issue and was angry simply because Director Hamilton had shamed her face-to-face.
She eagerly sought to regain her footing, spotting Molly Wellington standing behind Director Hamilton with a ’triumphant expression’.
Without thinking, she pointed at Molly Wellington: "Then how do you explain the diamond ring on her hand! That diamond is at least ten carats. How could an ordinary intern like Molly Wellington afford such an expensive diamond ring?
Humph, don’t tell me the diamond ring was given by Redington Young Master. Would Redington Young Master give a diamond ring to a woman he had a fling with and then tossed aside, and let her wear it on her ring finger? Do you believe such a thing!"
