Fiancé Uncle 295
Chapter295
"You trust me that much?" Thea smiled faintly,
Ever since Thea went to the hospital, her major worry had been resolved. No matter what she faced, she was surprisingly
calm.
Only Teri managed to affect her emotions. Thea never expected that the person who would give her warmth at such a time would be Teri.
"Ms. Rowland, I've been working or fighting with you for so long. I know how capable you are." Teri pursed her lips. "I heard that Duncan and Emmalie have already been interrogated by the police. I believe that the day when your name is cleared is not far away. I want a long-term collaboration with Sparkle Rocks. I also hope that you can live up to my trust."
Thea nodded. "I will."
After hanging up the phone, the number of people opposite Thea increased significantly.
Even their gazes towards Thea became even more passionate. "Ms. Rowland, the Langstaff Group wants to continue workin with us? I told you there are still many good people in this world."
As long as Sparkle Rocks could keep working with the Langstaff Group, Sparkle Rocks would not have to face bankruptcy.
The employees' attitudes had changed drastically.
Thea's eyes darkened. "Ms. Langstaff said that she won't terminate the contract for the time being, but if she finds out that the quality of our ore and the volume of transactions are not up to standard, not only will we be unable to recover the funds, but we will also pay a large sum of compensation for the breach of contract. Are you really sure you want to continue slacking off?"
It was true that Sparkle Rocks relied on benefits to retain its old employees.
Even if it was for the sake of having a stable income for the rest of their lives, the employees were now filled with
motivation.
"Ms. Rowland, don't worry. We will definitely do our best to withstand the online public opinion. Even if you and Ms. Holmes are not around, we are confident that we can stabilize the company's situation."
These words almost gave Thea an adrenaline rush. However, she remained calm.
Thea focused her gaze on the few wily employees who had just taken the lead to cause trouble. "I remember that you guys have been working for Grandpa since he first started Sparkle Rocks?"
Originally, they thought that Thea wanted to raise their salaries. After all, as long as this obstacle could be overcome, they would be the founding members of the company. They felt that they deserved to be given shares, let alone a salary raise.
"You've worked for a long time, and Sparkle Rocks recognizes your previous contributions. Talk to the human resources department about your termination. As long as the conditions aren't too unreasonable, I'll agree." Thea's tone was casual as if she was dismissing some insignificant people.
The other party was instantly annoyed. He almost overturned the long wooden table in the conference room. "Thea, are you crazy? Putting aside the fact that we're seniors in the company and have a pivotal position in Sparkle Rocks, how dare you lay off employees at this juncture? Aren't you afraid that Sparkle Rocks will collapse soon?"
He spewed his words agitatedly, and Thea waved her hand in disdain to disperse the smelly air in front of her. "It's precisely because of vermin like you that Sparkle Rocks has been going downhill all these years."
No one was indispensable. This was the same for these wily old men who thought of themselves as the backbone of Sparkle
Rocks.
"Mr. Roberts, if I remember correctly, you just bought a villa some time ago, but your official income is only 3.500 dollars a month. Your wife is a full-time housewife. May I ask where you got the money?
"And Mr. Wallace, you've always been in charge of the mine in the western suburbs. I've seen the list of personnel you handed to the police. You're suspected of counterfeiting and violating regulations. The police are already on their way."
Thea mentioned the employees' names one after another. Everyone she called by name was sweating profusely.
Of course, Thea was not making groundless accusations. She held a stack of substantial evidence in her hand. She smiled. T can send you to the police station based on each of your actions. I originally wanted to part on good terms, but if you don't appreciate it, then I have no choice but to root all of you out."Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Thea wanted them to pay back everything that they had taken from Sparkle Rocks all these years. She would never condone their actions.
Throughout the entire process, Thea had an absolutely overpowering attitude. Her arrogant expression made the other employees feel how terrifying their CEO was for the first time.
She might seem mediocre, but she impressed everyone with just a single brilliant feat. It was an absolute one-hit kill. These self-proclaimed veterans were pinned to the ground by Thea and could not resist at all. Thea turned around and continued to smile gently. "Everyone, take this as a warning. As long as you work hard in Sparkle Rocks, I won't treat you badly. However, if you're greedy and betray the company like them, I don't mind sending you to prison."
The purpose of the staff meeting was to let the employees regain their fighting spirit.
If they really became stagnant in their work because of the rumors outside, then there was no need to continue working in the future.
After returning to her office, Thea immersed all her attention into her work until her phone rang urgently.
The other party said, "Hello, is this Ms. Rowland? This is First Hospital of Silvercreek. Your mother, Mrs. Ivy Rowland, has just called the emergency hotline. Her life is in danger. You are her only emergency contact Thea thought, 'Me? I'm Ivy's emergency contact?'
It turned out that Ivy also knew that Thea's siblings were unreliable and placed all her hopes on Thea alone. However, Thea didn't understand why Ivy had to treat her that way,
Thea's hand froze for a second. "I'm sorry, I don't have time."
Literally, there was no time.
She had yet to settle the company's matters and did not have the time to care about Ivy. "She has other biological children. Wait a moment, I'll give you their phone numbers." One had to leave a way out. It was already Thea's greatest kindness to not leave Ivy unattended in the hospital.
Not long after the call ended, Thea's phone rang again. It was Max.
After being hung up a few times, Max still did not give up. He seemed determined to make Thea answer the call. "Thea, do you still have a heart? How could you even ignore your own mother?"
Thea looked up. "Mr. Rowland, that's your mother, not mine. Since you're so filial, why don't you care for her yourself? Why are you standing on the moral high ground and criticizing me? I told you, I only have basic support obligations to Mrs. 11:01 Sun, Nov 24 GO
Rowland."
She was perfunctory as she flipped through the photos taken by the reporters in the southern suburbs mine, trying to find more details from the photos.
"I'm at Key Biskane. There are a lot of things to do in the company. How am I supposed to rush over?" Max said in a justified
manner.
Thea said nonchalantly, "Aren't Duncan and Emmalie around? Why aren't Mrs. Rowland's precious children fawning over her at this time?"
"You really don't know why Mom fell ill?" It was Max's turn to be surprised. "If you hadn't been so cruel to send Duncan and Emmalie to the police station, Mom wouldn't have been so anxious. The doctor said that she had a mini-stroke. You're the only child who can rush to her side at this time. Thea, we only have Mom now."
Thea's heart skipped a beat.
No matter how many wrongdoings Ivy did, she was still the one who had given Thea life. Thea couldn't watch Ivy die.
