Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

“Is there a problem?” Preston asked faintly. David was so angry that his face turned as red as a fireball. “Impressive. He could rope in others, but he actually fires me right here. Does he think that he has roped in enough people and that he doesn’t need me anymore?” David thought. He let out a heavy breath and said, “Mr. Blake, you should know that I’m a senior staff in the company and one of the initiators of the company’s shareholding plan. I’ve worked here for 24 years. Oh, right, my annual salary is 4 million dollars. If the company wants to fire me, they have to compensate me 10 times that amount. “Now that I think about it, I’m 49 years old. I’ve worked so hard for Blake Corporation for so many years and have never enjoyed life. It’s time for me to retire and enjoy life.” He was furious, but he pretended to be calm. He reached out to take the dismissal letter from Preston and said, “Mr. Blake, the finance department has my account. I hope that the compensation of 30 million dollars can be paid today. Otherwise, I’ll immediately apply for labor arbitration.” “Hmph! “The kid is still too inexperienced to wrestle me,” he thought. He deemed himself in a good position to either advance and attack, or retreat and defend. If Preston was really willing to give him 30 million dollars as compensation, he would leave Blake Corporation as soon as Preston left the office. It wasn’t that much of a big deal after all. 30 million dollars was a lot of money to spend. If Preston couldn’t bear to part with the money and begged him to stay, he would be in an even better. position to negotiate. Preston looked at David with a faint smile. “So, Jared’s tax evasion. I assume that it is you, David Zelle, who came up with the plan? “Relying on the resources of Blake Corporation, he got his clients to offer their women to service him. “Blake Processing Plant settles the employment of at least 5000 vocational school students every year, and you take commissions from it. “The salary we give interns in Blake Corporation is around seven dollars per hour. You colluded with the teachers of the schools and deducted the students’ pay, causing them to receive less than half of that when the money got to their hands…” David did not expect Preston to know everything he had done. His expression was a little ugly. However, thinking that such words were useless, he denied it all. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “It doesn’t matter if you don’t. I’m now officially informing you that you’ve been fired. Hurry up and apply for labor arbitration. If you’re late, they’ll get off work,” Preston said. David was in a difficult position. He really felt that he couldn’t leave now or stay. If he were to just leave, he wouldn’t dare to apply for labor arbitration. He was afraid that Preston really had plans waiting for him. If he stayed, it was obvious that Preston didn’t like him, and he couldn’t bring himself to suck up to Preston. Rolling his eyes, he raised his chin and said, “Preston, I know that you’re young and impetuous, but you’re not doing this the right way. Think about it. We are part of the reasons for Blake Corporation’s achievements today. “I did optimize Blake Corporation’s tax, but I did it for the good of Blake Corporation. “Think about it. The taxes were heavy, and it was not easy for the company to earn money. In terms of taxes, of course, we have to pay as little as possible. The deducted tax didn’t go to my personal pocket, but into the account of the company! “As for the commissions, this is the school’s idea. They only want to give the students so much. If I don’t take a little, they’ll take it all.” “In that case, you’re saying that you’re still in the right?” Preston looked at David mockingly. David knew that Preston was feeling uncomfortable. He gave in and said, “I admit to this matter. I was indeed a little greedy. I can return this money.” Preston smiled. “Oh, so you did something wrong and you make amends because you got discovered, no? What if everything went unnoticed? If you murdered someone and weren’t discovered, everything will be fine. If you were discovered, you’d apologize and make some compensation, and it’ll be over, right?” “Mr. Blake, that’s not the same thing.” David felt extremely uncomfortable. He had already explained and made concessions, but Preston was still not letting it go. It was annoying. If Jared hadn’t gone to jail, he figured that he wouldn’t be there talking nonsense with Preston. Thinking about it, he said patiently, “Mr. Blake, I’ve been doing everything for the sake of Blake Corporation my entire life. A person’s life is very long, and it’s normal to occasionally do one or two small things wrong. If I’m wrong, I’ll admit my mistake. How about this, Mr. Blake? Just punish me the way you think I deserved to be punished.” “There’s no need. I won’t punish any employees who are fired! Those suspected of criminal charges will be handed over to the authorities,” Preston said. David was speechless. He cursed Preston deep down for being a bastard. Preston was so stubborn. He had already given in to this point, but still Preston insisted on firing him. Seeing this, his anger rose as he retorted, “Preston Blake, don’t forget that other than being a company executive, I’m also a shareholder. Although I don’t have many shares in my hands, I’m also an owner of Blake Corporation. Are you thinking of getting rid of me because I’m old? If everyone is like you, Blake Corporation will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later.” Preston said coldly, “Whether Blake Corporation will be destroyed or not is my business. The shareholders should enjoy their rights and interests. I won’t give a single cent of the dividends. less at the end of the year to anyone. At the same time, I will hand over the matter of you and Jared evading taxes and what you two were suspected of doing to our female clients to the authorities.” “Preston, how dare you!” David was furious. “You’ll know soon enough whether I dare or not.” Unlike David, who was embarrassed and angry, Preston was calm from beginning to end. “Preston, you should know better than to go too far with what you’re doing. I’ve never done anything to let Blake Corporation down, let alone done anything to let you down. “Actually, I’m just an employee. Whether your father is president or you are president, it’s all the. same to me. “I’ve worked for Blake Corporation for so many years, and those years mean something. After so many years of hard work, I do have some connections and client resources. I can contribute those. I can also work hard for Blake Corporation with you.” David thought for a moment and decided to fight for himself again. As for Jared, he would think about the man when that man could get out. He thought that Preston should know when to stop. Unexpectedly, Preston still insisted. “No deal!” He wouldn’t want to keep someone who repeatedly tried to kill him around him, after all. “You!” David was furious. “You can leave now.” Preston sent him away. David was so angry that he gritted his teeth and looked at Preston. “You will regret it!” Preston looked indifferent. David walked out of the office very slowly. He still hoped that Preston would change his mind and keep him around. In the end, Preston completely ignored him. He suddenly frowned and turned back. “Mr. Blake, this is my office. It’s you who should leave!” The corners of Preston’s lips curled up. He looked at David in amusement and reminded him, “Everything in Blake Corporation has nothing to do with you anymore. Do you think this office is still yours?” Coincidentally, an executive walked to the door with his things and knocked on the door. He asked Preston politely, “Mr. Blake, will I be working in this office from now on?”
