Chapter 27 Failed to Seek Revenge for the Smallest Grievance

Her future mother-in-law was so generous.

Even if Florence didn't know how much the bracelet was worth, what she knew was that it was valuable.

Courtney was very enthusiastic. She liked Florence very much and couldn't help showing a smile on her face.

Florence calmed down and took a step back. "Madame, I can't take it."

She was not sure about the future with Alexander. Although they were in love now, she couldn't accept the gift.

"Why not? It's a gift from me for our first meeting. You should take it." Courtney pretended to be sad and said, "You refused to accept the gift. Does it mean that you don't like my son? Or you just don't like me as a your mother-in-law?"

When Courtney was talking, tears seemed to fall down from her eyes.

Florence felt completely at a loss. She had no experience of dealing with the future mother-in-law. She was completely confused now.

Thomas' mother talked to her in a strange voice because she did not like her before. She believed that Florence couldn't match Thomas.

Florence was in awe of the word "mother-in-law". She had thought that it would be hard to get along with Alexander's mother, but she never expected that Courtney would be so enthusiastic to her and she suddenly didn't know how to respond to such enthusiasm.

"Madame, you misunderstood me. I like you very much..."

Courtney was smiling and seemed to be easy to get along with. Of course, Florence liked her.

"Then it's all right. Take it." Courtney forced the bracelet on Florence’s palm, "This is a convention of the Logan family, we must accept the gift in the first meeting."

Florence was puzzled by the convention.

Florence also didn't want let Courtney down, so she thought that she could accept the bracelet now, and then give it back to Alexander.

"Well, I'll take it."

As Soon as Florence finished, a loud shout came from aside. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

"Florence, what are you doing here? Why don't you do back to work."

Florence could tell who it was without looking back.

Since the bracelet issue last time, she and Emmett had a grudge against each other.

But Emmett was her boss. Florence said with a smile, "Mr. Connor, I asked for a half-day's leave. It's half past eleven in the morning. I'm still on break."

Florence could put up with difficulties, but she couldn't accept it if anyone deducted her money.

Florence had a nickname, money grubber .

"Mr. Connor, as a human being, we should be kind to others in everything, so that we can get along well with each other in the future. If you are too harsh to others, it's not good for anyone." Florence became angry and said in an indifferent tone, "Only villain will seek revenge for the smallest

grievance. If the big boss know that his daughter falls in love with such a villain, your dream to be the son-in-law of big boss may be completely broken."

"Florence, you're threatening me." Emmett was angry and he pointed at Florence. "Who do you think you are?"

"I'm threatening you." Florence stared at Emmett, "Everyone leave their hometown to work in Croycor. It's not easy to survive in the world. I have tolerated you so many times. Mr. Connor, if you push me too hard, I'm not a coward either."

Their standoff attracted the attention of many people. When it was nearly lunchtime, many employees came out for lunch one by one. Seeing that Florence and Emmett were quarreling, they stopped to watch the farce.

Rumor had that Emmett was against Florence and it had already spread in the company.

Everyone was wondering when Florence would be kicked out from the company, and it looked like it would happen soon.

Evelyn was also planning to go out for dinner. When she saw Florence and Emmett, she quickly came over and said, "Mr. Connor, don't be angry. Florence has been under too much pressure recently, so she talks nonsense. Please don't take her words seriously."

"Florence, do you want to lose your job. Just apologize to Mr. Connor. You can quarrel with anyone but not money. It's unnecessary."

Emmett sneered, "Evelyn, you don't need to help her, Florence has a rich boyfriend now. That's why she talks in a different way. She is so confident that she cares about nobody. This company is too small for her. She might want to find a better platform."

Clearly, he was forcing Florence to resign.

When Courtney saw Florence being bullied, she could not stand it any longer. She took Florence and said, "Florrie, let's go. We don't need to stay in such a small company."

Emmett sneered, "Oh, Florence, you still have a helper. Right. just resign at once. Don't stay here anymore.”

"You want to drive me away, but you have no right to do so." The light in her eyes gradually faded away, she was really angry. She stepped forward to confront Emmett’s despicable face, "I Florence did not make a mistake, the company has no right to dismiss me. As for you, are you qualified to do so? Do you really think it's your company? Does that make you the son-in-law of the big boss?"

"Florence. You played hooky and lost an important client which caused the company lost tens of millions of dollars. If you quit, you should thank me for I'm showing kindness to you, or you'll be fired directly."

"It's you who should leave the company." Florence smiled indifferently, "Mr. Connor, do you think that taking this year to fill in last year's old account will make no one know that you take kickbacks? If the boss finds out, what do you think will happen to you?"

Florence said the last sentence in a low voice. Nobody could hear but Emmett. But that was enough.

Hearing that, Emmett's face turned pale, "You are talking nonsense."

"What are you all doing here?"

A dignified voice came, and the crowd stepped aside to make way for him. A middle-aged man with a group of company executives walked over. Giselle also followed behind.

Emmett immediately changed his attitude and reverently reported, "Mr. Sawyer, Florence absented from work with no reason and as a result, Mr. Brooks of Starlight Group quit the cooperation with us.

But Florence didn't admit her mistake and shirked the responsibility."

The person coming was Christian Sawyer, the big boss of Florence’s company.

Courtney had met Christian at a cocktail party before. Others may not know Courtney, but Christian certainly did.

In order to avoid exposing herself and causing trouble to Alexander, Courtney quietly withdrew from the crowd and hurriedly called her son, "Son, Florrie is bullied, you should come quickly!"

Because of Emmett's words, Christian looked sharply to Florence, "Which department are you from ?"

"Mr. Sawyer, I'm from the secretary department." Florence stood quietly in front of Christian and explained, "Mr. Connor's words are completely untrue. I asked the personnel department for a half- day's leave and was not absent from work for no reason."

Emmett stirred up troubles aside and said, "I once asked personnel department, there was no record that you asked for leave at all. Yesterday I told you that Mr. Brooks will come today and I asked you to translate materials well which will be used today. But because of your mistake, now Mr. Brooks left angrily, who should be responsible for the loss of the company?"

Giselle held Christian and helped Emmett by saying, "Dad, it's not the first time for Florence to neglect her duty. I think we shouldn't keep this kind of irresponsible employees in the company."

It was a personal vendetta.

"I finished the paperwork yesterday." Florence looked at Evelyn. She had given the materials to Evelyn yesterday.

Evelyn quickly said, "Yes, Florence did arrange everything and asked me to hand it over to Mr. Connor, and I did so yesterday."

"I didn't get it." Emmett asked Evelyn, "Did you give it to me?"

"No." Evelyn shook her head and said, "Mr. Connor was not there, so I put it on the desk and sent you a message..."

"I haven't received any messages." Emmett snapped, "Florence, in order to evade responsibility, you are really sophistry."

Florence stared at Emmett's mean face and understood everything.

Emmett already set his mind on kicking her out of the company. Whatever she said was useless now.

And she also couldn't speak out the kickback thing in the public. This was a taboo in the industry. Once she exposed the truth about Emmett, then no company in the industry would dare to hire her.

Emmett looked fearless because he got supports from Giselle?

Even if there were rumors that the two were about to break up, at this point, they had to be on the same side.

Florence couldn't complain about anything because she had offended Giselle last time.

Florence knew everything deep down in her heart. She looked at Christian and said, "Mr. Sawyer, I did not shirk responsibility. You can ask the personnel department to investigate me."

Evelyn also spoke for Florence, "Mr. Sawyer, Florence has been working in the company for two years. She has been conscientious for so many years. Even if there is no contribution but she

worked really hard."

Christian changed his expression, "The company doesn't need coolie. It's unnecessary to raise a group of useless people. Florence, right? You can go to the personnel department to settle your salary and leave."

How could a non-related employee compare to his own daughter?
