The Unbreakable Bond By Cornelia Darwin

Chapter 23

The security guards all felt chagrined after hearing Leonardo’s words.

They had a low salary. They would have a difficult time this months if their bonuses were deducted. But they didn’t care to plead for mercy. Everyone understood that the CEO of Brooks Group was untouchable and that pleading for mercy would be futile. The more they pleaded, the harsher the punishment

They had no choice but to accept the punishment.

To their surprise, Rosalind, whom they had tried to kick out, suddenly spoke.

“Please don’t. They were ordered to do so. It has nothing to do with them. You shouldn’t have punished them!”

A security guard nearest to Rosalind almost tried to rush over and cover her mouth.

He was afraid Leonardo would deduct their two–month barus after she begged mercy for them,

The other security guards also had the same thought. They even doubted if Rosalind had deliberately begged mercy for them to have their bonuses withheld to exact retribution.

As the saying goes, women were vicinus and as despicable as petty men.

“Well, when did you become so kind?” Leonardo didn’t expect Rosalind to beg for mercy for those bodyguards,

“I’m not kind, I’m just telling the truth. Can your men not listen when you give them an order? If they don’t listen, you’ll deduct their bonuses, won’t you?” Rosalind argued.

Jacob Woods, who was next to Leonardo, nodded unconsciously.

He thought Amanda indeed knew Leonardo very well. As Leonardo’s assistant, he was often threatened with having his bonuses deducted by his boss.

He was glad that someone finally saw Leonardo’s true color.

“Am I that type of boss who threatens his subordinates with the bonus?” Leonardo retorted.

Leonardo turned around and noticed Jacob’s movements. His eyes darkened a little and his cold stare rendered Jacob motionless.

“Of course not. Mr. Brooks is the most reasonable boss in the world,” Jacob hurriedly blurt out.

Jacob was afraid that his honus would be deducted if he was slow to answer.

Leonardo raised his eyebrows with satisfaction and then looked at Rosalind.
