Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 721

"Alright. You're dismissed." Chad impatiently waved his hands, seeming rather irritated.

Once Neil left, Chad rested his elbows on the table and propped his head up with his hand. He could feel a headache coming on.

He consoled himself, saying that he wasn't trying to lick Bernard's boots. A few days had passed since Rhett had reviewed any documents for the company.

However, the Special Investigation Department had not provided any updates about Rhett. Chad was always asked to wait for notice whenever he submitted an inquiry.

Even then, Chad did not ask anyone to ask around as he also gravitated toward wanting to learn the truth. After he finished smoking the cigar, he picked up his phone to call Bernard.

Bernard did not answer the first time, so the call disconnected.

Chad called for the second time. The call was about to disconnect when Bernard's unfriendly voice came through." Yes?"

"You're aware of what Neil told you about, right?" Chad remained unyielding.

"Didn't he tell you my answer?" Bernard asked a question of his own instead.

Chad's blood pressure began to spike uncontrollably when he heard Bernard's aloof tone. "I was informing you, not negotiating with you! You must immediately return to the headquarters next Monday!"

There was no answer, so Chad yelled again, "Did you hear me?"

Since there was no response, Chad checked his phone and realized that Bernard already ended the call. Chad angrily called Bernard again, but he found out that he had been blocked.

It was Monday. Rhett's supporters, such as Desmond, Percy, and several other managers, arrived half an hour early at Killian Corporation.

Last week, Chad gave orders for Bernard to return and take over Rhett's workload. Although Desmond and the others couldn't reverse Chad's decision, they could still find ways to make things difficult for Bernard at work. Rhett was the only CEO they recognized at Killian Corporation. Thus, they wanted to help him keep his job. However, there was no sign of Bernard arriving at the headquarters when it was time to start work for the day. Instead, Chad turned up at the headquarters. The moment he arrived, he called Rhett's three secretaries to his office.

Having noticed that, Desmond waited outside the presidential office. Once the three secretaries exited the room, he immediately called out to them.

The four of them headed to Desmond's office. Percy and five other managers were waiting for them in the office. Out of the three secretaries, Caroline Simpson was the head secretary and very sharp. She looked around the office and realized that everyone present was Rhett's supporters. It was obvious what they were all here for.

"Ms. Simpson, why did Mr. Chad ask to meet all of you?" Desmond asked directly.

"Mr. Bernard won't be coming to the headquarters. Rumor has it that he's been accompanying Hera at the hospital this whole time and has neglected his work.

"Thus, Mr. Chad asked us to deliver the documents that require Mr. Rhett's approval so that he can handle them first," Caroline explained.

"Such a lovesick fool like Mr. Bernard has no place in the workforce. How can he be compared to Mr. Rhett?" "I still remember how Mr. Rhett had devoted himself to his career back then. He came to work even when Ms.

Linda was giving birth. Hera is only Mr. Bernard's girlfriend. Does he really need to stay by her side day and night?" "A man should always prioritize his career. Someone like Mr. Bernard, who prioritizes his relationship, will never succeed in his career. Killian Corporation will definitely go bankrupt if it ends up in his hands."

Since everyone had already started voicing their dissatisfaction, Desmond seized the opportunity to say, "For the sake of everyone's interest, we need to quickly find a way to bring Mr. Rhett back before Mr. Bernard comes to the headquarters."

"It'll be tough if Mr. Chad doesn't bail out Mr. Rhett. But we can try our luck elsewhere," Caroline said.

"Where?" Desmond inquired.

Caroline answered, "Astral Nova."Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
