Chapter 148: Chapter 148
Her come-back at Mr. Wang didn’t only surprise the spectators, they were a bit worried, staring at Mr. Wang’s current expression.
Mr. Wang opened his mouth, not hiding his displeasure this time. This girl had challenged him before, but he didn’t expect her to challenge him to this extent.
At that time, she had the Arts Department’s Manager’s support. The CEO also gave her the go-ahead to do the presentation.
However, now…
Mr. Wang wanted to speak further, but it was as if an ice bag had fallen onto the room. He felt a cold gaze boring through him, and he almost shivered.
As he looked at the CEO, though, the man’s expression was calm. Knowing better not to push this girl anymore, Mr. Wang grumbled under his breath and gave Mr. Wu a glance.
“Old Wang was only saying that because you are reluctant. Ms. Lin don’t blame us if you fall victim to Mr. Yang. If you don’t speak up now, you will be implicated.”
Your
“Mr. Wu, thank you for concern.” Annie gave him a stiff smile. “As I’ve said before, Mr. Yang and I are not even acquaintances.”
Before, Annie wasn’t paying Mr. Yang any attention. Now that Mr. Wu and Mr. Wang tried to drag her into the scandal, she couldn’t help but pity the man.
“Mr. Lim-“ She turned to the CEO, but then, the door opened and Mr. Wang’s assistant returned with two security men.
Behind them were five female employees who looked as docile as kittens. The girls looked pitiful and their eyes were tinged red with tears.
They lowered their heads as if ashamed that the people would see their faces. Now and then, their tiny sobs sounded in the meeting room.
Everyone watched silently in anticipation as the security men led the girls to stand beside Mr. Yang, in front of the wide desk.
Now facing the CEO, the girls all sobbed louder and covered their faces.
“He is an evil man, Mr. Lim. You have to seek justice for us.”
“We were reluctant to speak up before because Mr. Yang always threatened us with our jobs.”
“Now that he has been exposed, please don’t let him harm us.”
“Mr. Yang made us do things against our wills. It is not our fault, please don’t blame us.”
“If it wasn’t for Mr. Wang’s help, we wouldn’t have survived the trauma. Mr. Lim, please don’t spare this evil man.”
Without being asked, the girls started lamenting immediately, filling the meeting room with loud cries.
Mr. Yang was thrown into a state of speechlessness and he almost passed out. “Y-You-“ He pointed a shaking finger at the girls, but words had failed him.
“Mr. Yang, let us speak the truth. You know we didn’t like those things you forced us to do.”
“Mr. Yang, you even promised me a promotion, knowing that I was in dire need of money.”
“You are so despicable, Mr. Yang. The heavens will not leave you alone. You will get what you deserve.”
“Remember that time you offered to drive me home. If I knew you would take me to a motel, I wouldn’t have gotten inside your car that night, Mr. Yang.”
“Mr. Yang, only a few don’t know that you follow the female employees to the washroom. Shame on you. You’re the dirtiest man on earth.”
Mr. Yang covered his mouth as he stared at the girls pointing fingers at him. They were none other than the employees under him. The same girls he had groomed for many years now placed allegations on him.
All because of the tiny money Mr. Wang must have bribed them with.
Mr. Yang wasn’t only shocked this time around. He was so heartbroken that he failed to compose himself.
The man’s body went limp and he had to support himself by holding the edge of the desk tight with both hands.
“Mr. Yang, what can you say about this?”
Even when the CEO spoke, Mr. Yang was unable to look up. The man had lost all his energy to the state that he couldn’t find a word to say.
Did he commit a huge mistake by going against Mr. Wang and Mr. Wu?
“Mr. Yang.” The CEO’s voice reached his ears again. “You are not defending yourself, and you didn’t admit it also. Should we believe this girls are right?”
Everyone looked back and forth between the CEO and the IT Department’s Manager. Mr. Yang didn’t look up. The man’s expression was as pale as a white paper.
“Mr. Yang-“ When the CEO spoke again, everyone was baffled at what happened next. The CEO hadn’t finished speaking and they watched in astonishment as Mr. Yang lost his composure and collapsed on the floor.
One could see the man holding his chest as if he was having a heart attack.
Instantly, the meeting room flew into an uproar. Everyone left their seats and it was complete chaos.
Even the CEO who didn’t see it coming stood up. The security came in and took Mr. Yang away amidst the murmurs of astonishment.
“What is happening? Does Mr. Yang have any underlying health condition?”
“What health condition? Mr. Yang’s shock has gotten to his heart. Who wouldn’t get a heart attack in this kind of situation?”
“Surely, Mr. Yang never expected his dark side to be exposed someday.”
“Or maybe, Mr. Yang is too shocked by the betrayal.”
Some of the Managers and Shareholders were still having mixed feelings. None of them had ever dreamt that Mr. Yang would fall into this kind of situation someday.
Some believed that Mr. Yang felt so suppressed by the constant accusations and his heart couldn’t handle it. And some believed that Mr. Yang was just impacted by the shock of having his true colors revealed.
Even after Mr. Yang was taken out, the people didn’t stop speaking.
“Mr. Lim…” One of Mr. Wang’s followers spoke up. “This is an indication that Mr. Yang is in the wrong. We are waiting for your judgment.”
