Chapter 495
An employee came rushing in.
Yvette was already irritated. She thought holding the position of deputy CEO would give her the upper hand and a chance to put Rachel in her place. Nobody expected Rachel would turn things around using the incident with Sharon, beating Yvette at her own game. Now, all her carefully laid plans were completely ruined.
Hearing the commotion from the employee, Yvette couldn’t help but snap in frustration. “What are you yelling for? Do you not know how to behave?”
The employee quickly quieted down. “Ms. Yvette, some of our company’s employees have just been exposed online for some pretty serious scandals. You should really take a look.”
Yvette frowned and immediately retrieved her phone. Before she could even finish reading, she shot up from her chair. “What the hell? Who leaked this?”
The employee stammered, “I–I don’t know. It was just posted not long ago. I’m not clear on the details, either.”
Rachel raised an eyebrow at Yvette’s dramatic reaction. Since when did she care so much about employees? Cecilia nudged her with an elbow, gesturing for her to check her phone.
Rachel glanced down and finally saw what it was all about. It turned out those employees had been caught cooking the books, accepting bribes, and even embezzling money from the company. They were so shameless, they had even taken the office coffee home with them.
That wasn’t the worst part.
The real bombshell was that it had all been done under Yvette’s direction. Half the money went straight into her pocket. There were even bank records as proof. No amount of excuses could save her now.
Rachel let out a cold, disdainful chuckle. She had always looked down on Yvette’s ways of doing things. When someone was doing her dirty work, Yvette was all calm and detached. The moment she got exposed, she would lose her cool. Rachel could already guess what Yvette’s next move would be: she would throw others under the bus. It wouldn’t be the first time.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Rachel said casually, “Once you’re done here, maybe you could sign off on the paperwork over at HR?”
Yvette, still unaware that Rachel was holding a bigger card, scoffed and held her ground. “Rachel, you’re giving me too much credit. I may be the deputy CEO, but I’m not the CEO. I can’t make that decision on my own.”
Rachel didn’t argue. She glanced at her freshly done nails and said, “Oh, then I won’t push you. I wonder if you still remember what happened five years ago, when a man came to my hospital room to change my IV drip? Did you ever find out where he ended up?”
Yvette’s expression changed instantly. “What are you talking about?”
Rachel’s voice was calm. “Funny thing is, he’s been with me these past few years. Says he’s trying to turn over a new leaf, not helping certain people do shady things anymore.”
Yvette’s face turned pale. Her lips trembled uncontrollably. “What do you mean? I don’t understand what you’re saying. I heard someone tried to hurt you five years ago, but that has nothing to do with me! You can’t just pin it on me!”
Sharon nodded along. “Yeah! That’s going too far! Just because you’re Ms. Yvette’s sister, doesn’t mean you can falsely accuse her like this.”
Rachel didn’t even look at Sharon. She kept her gaze fixed on Yvette. “What do you think, Ms. Yvette?”
Yvette scanned the room and snapped irritably, “What are you all still standing around for? Get back to work!”
Startled by her sudden outburst, Sharon and the employee quickly scurried out.
The office was now silent, with only Rachel, Cecilia, and Yvette remaining.
Rachel didn’t spell things out, but she knew Yvette understood exactly what she was implying. She calmly placed the HR form on the desk, raising her brows slightly as she glanced at Yvette with a knowing smirk.
