Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin)

Chapter 217 Suzanne only had shares, but she didn't have any real power within the company. The design department was an extremely important part of the company.

If a deputy manager was fired just because of a single sentence from Suzanne, who would be willing to work diligently for the company in the future? Many people were already quite unhappy because Suzanne had suddenly called for the meeting. Now, it was as if they had seized the opportunity to criticize Suzanne non-stop.

Henry's gaze settled on Suzanne. Seeing her being criticized by the shareholders, he felt a great sense of pleasure.

He slightly furrowed his brows together and tried to persuade her, saying, "Suzanne, just apologize to these gentlemen, and we can let this matter go." He was essentially suppressing Suzanne, leaving her with no room to resist.

Suzanne looked at Henry, curled her lips, and let out a cold snort. "I was able to call this shareholders' meeting to discuss this matter. You don't seriously think I'm just joking around with you, do you?" She directly took out her phone and placed it on the table.

Suzanne looked at George and said, "Or do you gentlemen, knowing that I have evidence, still want to condone Jessica's reckless behavior within the company?" Before anyone could say anything, Suzanne had already pressed the play button on her phone.

The recording revealed Jessica's arrogant and overbearing behavior as she arbitrarily set company rules. She forcefully made an intern take on Khalil's order and threatened to fire the intern if the work was not up to standard.

After hearing these words, everyone's expression turned extremely grim. Jessica had behaved like a little tyrant in the company's department, acting as if she owned the place and doing whatever she pleased.

Suzanne swept her gaze across the group, her expression stern and cold. She loudly questioned, "Is this what the corporate image of Yates Corporation is supposed to be? Everyone in the entire design department witnessed this with their own eyes, and you can verify whether I'm telling the truth or not." She paused for a moment and then continued, "Also, have you heard the rumors that have been circulating in the company these past three days?" Suzanne was sitting upright in her chair, and at that moment, her imposing manner was extremely intimidating. It was as if she carried a power of destruction, making people feel a chill run down their spines.

Everyone fell silent.

Henry's expression looked very unpleasant. Jessica was such a fool! Jessica was Seline's trusted subordinate. Once she was fired, it was bound to have an impact on Seline.

But he had to suppress his anger. He looked at Suzanne and persuaded her in a low voice, saying, "Everyone makes mistakes at spoint. Just let her correct her behavior." At present, Suzanne was definitely not on his side. Her appearance in the company meant that there was a high possibility that she would try to take over the company from him. At the moment, the only person he could rely on was Seline.

Suzanne let out a cold snort. "Mr. Yates, that's not how it should be. If everyone is allowed to act like this, then what's the point of having rules?" From the moment she entered the room, Suzanne had known that Henry would try to protect Jessica. But she wasn't someone to be trifled with. She would not yield an inch when it cto safeguarding her rights and interests.

At this moment, the plump Jonathan Dalton, who was wearing a casual suit, sat up straight. He placed his hands on the conference table and looked at Suzanne.

He nodded in agreement and said, "If this is indeed the truth of the matter, then the deputy manager is indeed not suitable to stay in the company. It's not a good thing for the company." No one knew what kind of trouble she might cause one day.

Several shareholders also nodded in agreement. "Right. The design department is such an important part of the company. We can't let her ruin it."

Henry's face froze. His hands under the table clenched into fists, and he could only force himself to hold back the anger in his heart. He had to swallow this bitter pill.

Damn it! What on earth did this unruly daughter of his want to do? She had only been in the company for three days ext е and had already started targeting Seline's right-hand woman. Was she really trying to take over Yates Corporation? Jonathan looked at George and the others and said seriously, "Let's take a vote. We'll go with the decision that gets the most votes. What do you think?"

Since he had said so, even though George, Henry, and the others were still unhappy, they had no choice but to agree. If they kept protecting a deputy manager with problems without limit, it might eventually affect themselves. Neither Henry nor George wanted such a thing to happen. Everyone nodded in response.

Jonathan looked around, and finally, his gaze landed on Suzanne.

He said, "Since everyone agrees, then please make your choice. Those who do not agree to dismiss Jessica, please raise your hand." In the entire conference room, not a single person raised their hand. At this moment, even if Henry wanted to raise his hand, he couldn't let alone the others.

Jonathan nodded in understanding. "It seems there's no need to continue the vote. Everyone is in favor of Ms. Yates' proposal." Jessica's dismissal was now a certainty and could no longer be changed.
