Hearing this, Reuben Austin’s head felt like it had been struck by lightning, and his mind went blank in an instant.
However, to avoid showing any odd expression, he suppressed his surprise.
Mr. Holland had instructed him not to reveal anything.
But…
Why was Mrs. Holland here?
Zachary Poole panicked, “Shut up! Close your mouth and get out of here-”
If this got out, he would definitely lose his job.
Seeing Zachary Poole daring to scold Mrs. Holland, Reuben Austin’s face turned an iron blue, “You shut up!”
“Let her speak!”
“Do you have some unspeakable secrets?”
“I… I dare not!”
This retort made Zachary Poole break out in a cold sweat and he didn’t dare to speak any further, lowering his head, only able to hint at Charlotte with his eyes.
His gaze was filled with pleading.
Seeing his pitiful state, Charlotte felt no sympathy.
How cruel was he to her just now?
If it were an ordinary woman, she might have succumbed under his coercion!
Such a person did not deserve sympathy!
Now playing pitiful, what good would it do?
Reuben Austin politely said to Charlotte, “Miss Pittman, do you have something you would like to tell me? If it’s feedback about our company, I will definitely listen to your suggestions attentively.”
His tone was earnest.
His attitude was humble.
Both Charlotte and Zachary Poole were stunned.
How could Mr. Austin become so polite?
This was not his usual style!
Zachary Poole was completely baffled.
Charlotte took a deep breath and explained everything in detail. The more Reuben Austin listened, the darker his face became, almost furious enough to flip the table.
“He even threatened me, saying if I don’t comply, he would immediately blacklist me in the Stresall conglomerates.”
“Forcing me to submit.”
“May I ask, is this the style of Spicurity Group? It’s so disappointing!”
Charlotte vented all her anger.
“Damn it!”
Reuben Austin was almost driven mad.
If Quentin found out about this, wouldn’t it overturn the Spicurity Group?
By then, even he would be doomed!
Zachary Poole was so audacious!
Zachary Poole quickly bent over and approached, sweating profusely as he babbled, “Mr. Austin, listen to my explanation, this woman is completely-”
Reuben Austin slapped him to the ground.
Almost knocking his teeth out.
“Explanation?”
The esteemed Mrs. Holland needed to cheat? What a joke.
Just based on Zachary Poole daring to harbor ill intentions towards Charlotte, that alone is enough for him to die a hundred times!
“There’s no need for explanations!” Reuben Austin said coldly, “Damaging the company’s reputation, Zachary Poole, let me tell you! You’re finished!”
Zachary Poole staggered up from the ground, pleading with tears, “Mr. Austin, I was… I was just bewitched for a moment, please give me a way out!”
“Miss Pittman, I’m wrong… I beg you! I am willing to compensate…”
Charlotte coldly said, “There’s no need, someone like you, a villain staying within the group, who knows how many more people you would harm.”
“Your departure, that’s the best outcome.”
Reuben Austin showed no pity for Zachary Poole, waving his hand to some men behind, “Bring Leah Barton here!”
These two daring individuals, bold enough to slander Mrs. Holland…
This matter, he must handle well, otherwise if Mr. Holland blames him, he absolutely couldn’t afford it; he must satisfy Charlotte.
“Yes!”
Seeing Reuben Austin in his great fury, the men behind him didn’t dare to slack off and immediately turned to carry out the orders.
Reuben Austin bowed deeply to Charlotte, saying, “Miss Pittman, I, on behalf of Spicurity Group, apologize to you and hope you do not take this to heart.”
“Rest assured, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation.”
