Chapter 237
Skyler had been having headaches these days because of the nanny issue and wasn’t in a good mood upon hearing Kaylee’s request for money. “Didn’t I just transfer you 300,000 last month? How did you spend it all?”
“I went to an art exhibition with Mrs. Fletcher. She liked a painting, so I bought it. It cost several hundred thousand and I had to borrow some from friends.”
Skyler frowned, “Did she accept it?”
“No, Mrs. Fletcher said it was too valuable, so I couldn’t return it and stored it in the warehouse.”
Skyler’s mouth twitched. “You should stay away from Mason”
“Why?” Kaylee was not satisfied. “Weren’t you in favor of me dating Mason?”
Skyler replied. “That’s based on the assumption that Mason is interested in you too. Didn’t you see how he avoided you at the jewelry exhibit that day? This is backfiring, do you understand?”
“I’d love to! There are no other women around Mason, I’m not bad-looking, and Mrs. Fletcher likes me! It’s just a matter of time before he’s with me.” “If Mason is not interested in you, marrying him will make you suffer.”
“Dad didn’t like you that much at first, but you ended up fine, right?”
Skyler was almost livid at this remark.
Before Celeste could utter a word, Kaylee’s sudden exclamation interrupted her. “Mom, Martha is at Quantum, and she’s threatening to jump off the building!” Kaylee revealed, showing Skyler the video she had received from Angel.
Skyler was thrown into a state of panic, immediately rushing out to address the situation at hand.
The news of Martha causing a scene in the company lobby quickly reached Liam.
Liam hates being threatened by others in this way and immediately asked Owen to call the police.
Owen said, “Ms. Wesley is downstairs. After all, Martha has been working with the Reed farmily for more than a decade. It’s not advantageous for us if we handle this too harshly
Clyde has been at Quantum for a much longer time than Liam and is better at winning over employees. Although Liam has achieved some balance within the company in recent years due to his own abilities, Clyde’s foundations are deep.
Martha’s case seemed like a small matter, but she had been in the family for more than a decade, and mishandling could discourage some older employees.
Liam’s face darkened, “He’s quite proactive.” Saying this, he stood up and walked out.
Owen stayed silent behind him.
Wesley had been sent away on a business trip before, and although it was said to be for a project, everyone in the company knew he was forced to go. Wesley was quite flirtatious, often having affairs with female employees. Although he never initiated encounters, he always managed to attract women to throw themselves at him. Once he was bored, he would dump them.
But trouble always comes knocking. A few months ago, the company received an anonymous letter accusing Wesley of having improper relationships with multiple female employees, even manipulating personnel transfers.
Besides the anonymous letter, there was plenty of evidence, extremely explicit, and Wesley couldn’t wiggle his way out of it.
The company’s leadership was furious but didn’t want to make a big fuss about it, as it would affect the Reed family’s reputation. So, they sent Wesley off to some remote city to reflect on what he’d done
The incident had significant repercussions for the company, resulting in a thorough restructuring of personnel that saw several of Wesley’s trusted associates being replaced. This reshuffling strained his relationships with other family members, leading to increased tension among them. Now that Wesley is back, its probably not with good intentions.
As for Martha’s situation, the other party will definitely blow it up After thinking twice, Owen decided to secretly give Celeste a call
