Ch. 2701..2710
Chapter 2701 "Mister Lowe! Please mind your words! If you were to continue asking like that, I'll immediately let the security throw you out! You once were my boss. You've given me a chance to work I respect you, so please have some self-respect!" Eevonne said while looking at Deacon incomparably seriously and calmly.
Deacon sneered. He looked at Eevonne with a gaze as if he was interrogating a thief.
"Not only do I want to see you, but I also want to see the manager of your human resource department. Not only do I want to meet with the manager of your human resource department, but I still want to meet with your direct superior! Not just your direct superior, but I also want to meet with the director of your company!"
"You!" Eevonne said. The fury in her eyes was like a volcano that was about to erupt!
Eevonne was doing her best to suppress the anger in her, and then she said every single word clearly and slowly. "Mister Lowe!
May I please ask, do I owe you anything? Do I owe your company anything?"
"This is already not an issue about whether you owe me and my company anything or not! This has to do with a company's hidden problem!" Deacon’s tone was extremely righteous.
Eevonne was so angry that she was almost in tears. "Even if it's a hidden problem, it's the Ford Group's hidden problem. What has it got to do with you?"
"Of course, it has something to do with me!" Deacon sneered. " That's because I am the largest supplier that has just been selected by the Ford Group! In the future, I'll be collaborating with the Ford Group for a very long time. I have the obligation to help them eliminate a pest like you!"
Eevonne was speechless. At that moment, she suddenly wanted to murder someone! why? why was it that she had already worked so hard to change into a good person, but God still had to let her meet the people she did not want to meet the most and let them appear so often, one after another? Why? After Eevonne glared at Deacon for a moment, she suddenly got up calmly. It was true, what has she got to be afraid of? she did not steal or rob, has been working hard to change for the better, and she has already produced some results, has she not?
At that moment, Eevonne did not create a fake diploma, did not cheat her company, did not betray her company, and had not done anything bad. On the contrary, she has been working hard, studying hard, and doing her best to make herself an outstanding talent. She was very calm at that moment, was she not? What has she got to be afraid of?
"Sure, Mister Lowe, suit yourself." Eevonne looked at Deacon with a calm smile.
What was supposed to come would still have to come, in the end. She should just face it calmly. The storm has to pass. No matter how bad the consequences, it would not cost Eevonne her life, would it not? Upon saying that, Eevonne did not look at Deacon anymore. Instead, she looked at the documents that she brought over calmly.
Originally, the documents were prepared for the people from Dash's company to view, since she could not use it anymore at that moment, she might as well just review it again. She still had to take the cost list to face that person-in-charge from abroad later.
Eevonne, who was looking at the documents seriously, made Deacon so angry that smoke was about to come out from the top of his head. The company's human resource manager, the director of the fashion department, and also Mister Cain, whom the director had mentioned to Eevonne before, came over to the small reception room. There was also a woman who came over together with the three of them.
At first, Eevonne did not raise her head to see who it was because she still had a little bit more before she finished reviewing the documents, when she raised her head and saw the woman standing in front of her, Eevonne was first stunned but she immediately shrugged while smiling.
"Hello, Miss Cain," Eevonne greeted her politely.
Phoebe sneered. "Wow! You still didn't know me two days ago in the private room of the restaurant. Now, you've already inquired about me so well and are even so polite to me. Are you not thinking of sending me to the police station?"
"Miss Cain, please be direct with what you want to do, alright?" Eevonne said,.
Phoebe smiled very sweetly. "I want to expose all of your embarrassing things in front of the entire Ford Group today!"
Chapter 2702 There was a moment of discomfort shown on Eevonne's face, but she regained her composure in a blink of an eye.
"Miss Cain, as long as you don't break the law, I'll have no complaints." Eevonne looked at Phoebe calmly.
"Wow, you're unexpectedly still able to remain calm in the face of a disaster, Eevonne. You must have spent ten years training to get such a skill, haven't you?" Phoebe looked at Eevonne with the intention to mock.
Eevonne was still very calm. "I refuse to answer you."
"You!" Phoebe uttered.
It was after a pause that she scolded Eevonne with slight exasperation. "Don't be so smug! It's your doomsday today! Mister Lowe, you go first!"
Phoebe looked at Deacon. Deacon's face was still very stern. At that moment, in the reception room of the Ford Group, Deacon could only be considered as a person from the partner company.
However, he glared at Eevonne with a gaze as if he was a ruler and a judge. At the same time, there were still people from the Ford Group entering the reception room one after the other. The majority of the people were high-ranking executives of the Ford Group. Also, a part of them were Eevonne's colleagues and superiors from the fashion department.
The last person to enter was Dash. Were both Dash and Deacon joining hands to deal with her? Judging from the situation at that moment, it looked like it. Eevonne laughed miserably in her heart. She lifted her head and looked at her colleagues and superiors who packed the entire reception room, she suddenly felt that that was probably the place where she would die of embarrassment. If she was able to pull through this kind of situation, she truly would be reborn after that.
If...if she was unable to pull through it that day, then that place would be her burial ground. Eevonne felt incomparably terrified for a moment, she hoped that Kingston was by her side to provide her strength.
However, she also hoped that Kingston was not by her side to see all the embarrassing things she had done in the past, even though she had once told Kingston about all the embarrassing things without concealing anything at all. she still did not have the courage to face Kingston. At that moment, she only had two paths that she could take. One was to die. The other was to try to fight. They said that the brave would win when opponents meet inevitably on a narrow path.
At that moment, Eevonne suddenly realized that maybe when a person was facing trouble, bravely resolving the trouble and problem would give the person a sense of achievement and happiness. Thinking of that, Eevonne immediately smiled and looked at everyone present calmly. In the end, her gaze landed on Deacon.
"Mister Lowe, please go ahead with what you have to say. If I had done anything wrong and had brought trouble and inconvenience to you, I'll apologize to you here."
Deacon sneered. "Would a mere apology be enough to clear your charges?"
Charges? Eevonne laughed at herself in her heart. It has already escalated to committing a crime? How pathetic.
"Alright. I won't apologize anymore. Please be direct with whatever you want to say then." Eevonne shrugged, and then sat down to wait for the storm to come.
"Eevonne! You first have to come clean, how did you sneak into this company?" Deacon has already completely changed an interrogative tone.
"I didn't sneak in," Eevonne answered honestly.
Deacon suddenly slammed the table and stood up. "Eevonne, I truly have underestimated your despicable nature. I blame myself very much as well. You had worked at my company for three years back then, but I couldn't change you for the better. I actually let you come out and continue harming others! I truly have never expected that after you left my company, caused Dash to lose his job, and ran away from home for a year, I still couldn't get rid of you."
Chapter 2703 "What was even more unexpected to me was that after you left my company, you became worse and you went to harm another company. You actually even sold that other company's confidential information. Eevonne, after all, I was the one who didn't discipline you well when you were in my company back then! After all, I was too lenient to you. Your actions were so nasty at that time that I should have taken you to the police station!"
What Deacon said stunned everyone who was present. Eevonne, however, was not flustered at all. She was looking down and playing with her phone. A couple of minutes later, she lifted her head to look at Deacon, then asked indifferently, "Then, Mister Lowe, do tell, what shameful things have I done or what crimes have I committed when I was in your company back then? You might as well just tell US straight."
Decon was stunned. He did not expect that Eevonne would react this way. Based on his understanding of Eevonne, when she saw him lashing out and heard him exposing all of her embarrassing matters one by one, Eevonne should be terrified. She should cower and feel lost like a cowardly person. However, unlike in the past, Eevonne did not have that kind of reaction, she was very calm, so much so that she did not even take it seriously at all.
In the past, Eevonne had been incomparably afraid of him, who was her boss, and was very cautious and fearful. At that moment, Eevonne was not afraid of her anymore, much less cautious and fearful. That made Deacon feel a strong sense of frustration from losing face.
"You!" He was so angry that he raised his hand and pointed at Eevonne. "You're all mighty now, aren't you? You actually dare to talkback to me?"
"Who are you then? why don't I dare to talk back to you? Are you... the king?" Eevonne asked with a smile.
"Good. Great!" Deacon also sneered, and then he looked at everybody present. "I think all of you certainly have no clue what this woman has done!"
His tone was clearly very worked up. "This woman stopped studying at a middle-school level, but when she came to my company to apply for a job, she actually said that she was a college graduate, and she actually tricked me with a fake diploma. In the end, I recruited her to our company. Then, she started to frequently create troubles in our company, she failed at her work in every aspect and she kept accusing others at every turn, she kept arguing with her colleagues and she offended every single person in the entire company. In the end, she even framed and blamed other people. Her actions were so nasty that everyone in the company saw her like a monster. She was simply the strangest person of all. I don't know when she sneaked into the Ford Group. Since I've already known about it now, of course, I can't let her be at large. I'm telling you seriously that she, Eevonne York, is simply an incomparably despicable liar! when she left my company, she made me lose millions of dollars. Later, she went to another company and sold that company's confidential information, she even kept relentlessly pestering her ex-boyfriend!
when she entered that company, she was also using a fake resume, she clearly only had a middle-school education, but she said that she was a college graduate and has very solid knowledge of the field. Just like that, she tricked that company and she even caused her ex boyfriend to suffer a severe loss because of that. After he hid outside for a year, when he just returned home, she threw herself at him to pester him! All these were what this woman had done! If I had guessed it right, she certainly must have used a fake diploma and fake resume again to get into this company. She must have said that she was a college graduate when she actually didn't even graduate middle school. If you don't believe me, you can test her Spanish. She can't even speak in Spanish at all!"
What he said indeed made Eevonne feel quite lost. However, she was still able to hold herself together. She lifted her head and looked at the door. Suddenly, she got up and took two steps forward. When they saw the person-in-charge from abroad, who had just arrived, Deacon first was stunned, but immediately after that, he smiled. That was really quite the coincidence. He was going to communicate with Eevonne on the spot. Deacon was still thinking that he really wanted to see how Eevonne could escape this time.
However, what he did not expect was that as soon as Eevonne opened her mouth, she greeted the person-in-charge from abroad in fluent Spanish.
Chapter 2704 There were several expressions implied in Deacon's gaze. There was disdain, conviction, and also the determination to never let Eevonne off the hook. He just looked at Eevonne like that. "The person-in-charge from abroad has arrived.
You've sent him away in front of Mister Long the last time. This time, it's not going to be that easy for you to send him away. Eevonne, since you are the person who is dealing with him, please communicate with him in front of us then!"
When Deacon said those words, it was as if he was still Eevonne's direct superior. It was as if he was still able to control whether Eevonne was to live or die.
Eevonne raised her eyebrow a little, looked down at the documents in her hands for a moment, and then raised her head and looked at the person-in-charge from abroad who had just come in. she smiled at him.
He also smiled at Eevonne. His smile was very bright. After that, without a warning, he started speaking and it was a very long sentence in Spanish. He spoke very fast. It was so fast that nobody present actually understood what he just said.
Among those people present, there were plenty of elites who were fluent in Spanish, both spoken and written. Among them, Dash's Spanish was especially good. However, other than Eevonne, nobody among all those present was actually able to understand what the person-in-charge from abroad had said.
Many of them looked at him with doubt. Was he speaking Spanish? Deacon was stunned as well. He really did not expect that this foreigner's Spanish was so confusing. Was he certain that he was speaking English? Deavon looked at Eevonne with doubts, but she already started speaking. Like the other party, she also said a long sentence in Spanish and it was perfect. That accent, that fluency, that authentic Spanish flavor, that confidence, and that calmness stunned everyone who was present. 1 However, one person was not stunned. It was that person-in- charge from abroad. He smiled while looking at Eevonne and he kept nodding his head.
After he was done nodding, that foreigner looked at everyone present and said in incredibly awkward English, "Hello, everyone. My name is Luis. I grew up in Gru Swa in the continent of South Aimibax since childhood. My Spanish is not too accurate. I've been to many places, and language has always been an obstacle for me when I communicate with others. However, the only exception is when I'm communicating with Eevonne. She could actually understand my Spanish, and her comprehension is especially good. This was also the reason my company decided to work with Eevonne. I don't know what has happened between all of you. Why would there be so many people who want to listen and watch me communicating with Eevonne? If all of you could understand my Spanish, I won't mind communicating with all of you in Spanish. After all, I am very fluent in the Spanish spoken in the place where I came from."
What he said stunned everyone present. Immediately after, some of their faces turned red. Some sneered. Some sighed, of course, the people whose faces turned red were Deacon and Dash. Never would Deacon and Dash have expected that Eevonne was actually so fluent in Spanish. They simply were so stunned by her the moment she opened her mouth. This woman! When did she learn to speak Spanish so fluently? They truly were caught off guard!
The few people who sneered were Eevonne's colleagues and superiors from the same department. The director of the fashion department was one of them. That was because everyone in Eevonne's department knew how she got this job.
They knew that Eevonne had never faked anything. She had climbed to where she was by moving one step at a time.
Those people who sighed were the high-ranking executives and leaders of the Ford Group. They did not know about Eevonne's background and they did not know if her academic qualifications were falsified or not. They were originally very furious. How could there be a black sheep like Eevonne in the Ford Group?
However, when they Eevonne's stunning and fluent Spanish, they instantly felt a sense of respect for Eevonne. what made them respect her, even more, was that Eevonne could actually understand the other party's awkward Spanish with such a heavy accent from his hometown. That was not something that could be done by everybody.
Chapter 2705 It could only be accomplished by people who were fluent in Spanish and were willing to spend a great deal of time listening to him. At that moment, other than Phoebe's father, Mister Cain, everyone else was thinking in her head that even if Eevonne had faked her diploma, so what? As long as she truly had the ability, nothing else mattered.
Talents were what a company was looking for. In fact, the academic qualifications of a person were not the most important matter. It could only be considered a door opener. Actually, what a company truly needed was someone with the ability, working experience, and strong adaptability when something happened. If a person had all these qualities, who would still care about the person's academic qualifications? The few high-ranking executives of the Ford Group looked at Eevonne with an appreciative gaze.
One of the leaders wanted to say something, but just when he was about to say it, he saw that Eevonne, who was looking at Deacon, already started speaking.
Eevonne looked at Deacon with a serious expression. "Mister Lowe, you didn't expect that I could speak Spanish, and not only can I speak Spanish, but I could also even speak so well in such an incredibly thick accent from his hometown, did you? It's just like not only could a foreigner speak English well, but the person could also understand and speak in all the local dialects well.
You must be thinking, how could a person like Eevonne achieve that?"
"You..." Deacon replied. He really did not expect it. Therefore, he truly did not have anything to say.
Before he said anything else, Eevonne spoke again, "Mister Lowe, up until now, I still don’t understand what is your purpose for coming to the Ford Group. Did you deliberately come over to expose me? Or are you here at the Ford Group to talk business? If it's the latter, then I have to tell you that whatever you're doing now in my company has crossed the line! All of this that you're doing looks very bad and very embarrassing!"
Deacon was speechless.
"Also!" Eevonne looked at him without the slightest sense of giving in at all. "Since you've come over and since you’ve already said everything this way, then let me tell you something! when I applied for a job at your company back then, I indeed had faked my diploma. However, I've long admitted it to you! I have also paid a severe price for my fake diploma! I had worked at your company for three years back then. Putting aside the matter of my fake diploma and just focusing on the work aspect, shouldn't you be clearer than anyone else whether I am capable at work or not? You're a businessman. You're also an incredibly smart businessman. May I know how could such a smart businessman like yourself let a liar who was not capable at work at all, would only hold the company back, and made a fake diploma stay in your company for three years? Mister Lowe, that's three years!
Not three months! There're so many people sitting here today, and I believe that the majority of them are from management, so all these people should be very clear about this, right? If a person has no use at all, how could the high-ranking executives of the company keep her around for three years? Everybody is not blind to what is right and wrong in this world, right? However, Mister Lowe, in the three years that I had been working in your company, you've been instilling the idea in me that it's the company who's pitying me and changing me. It's an illusion that the company is willing to lose money to retain me and let me gain more knowledge. You've been instilling such ideas in me and brainwashing me for three years! Three years! Do you still think that it's not enough? It has already been almost six years since the incident, but in the end, you still came looking for me at my current company and continue shaming me. Let me tell you something, Mister Lowe, I'm afraid I'll be disappointing you. In this company, I have never falsified my academic qualifications and also never cheated this company in any way. Everything about myself, all of my past and future, are known to the human resource department as well as my superiors. Mister Lowe, may I know if you're satisfied now?"
"You...you actually didn't cheat?" Deacon asked.
Chapter 2706 Eevonne looked at Deacon calmly. "Mister Lowe, you're an adult and a boss of a company, so logically speaking, you should have thought it through before coming to this company, right? Why didn't you inquire beforehand if I had cheated or not?"
What she said was a direct equivalent of shaming Deacon.
However, Eevonne did not intend to show Deacon mercy at all. She had never thought of turning back time and looking into who was right or wrong in the past. Also, she had never felt that what happened in the past was the fault of others. She thought that she was the one who made the biggest mistake. Even if she were to look into the past, it would be to reflect on her own mistakes, amend all of her mistakes, and then continue moving forward.
However, never in a million years would Eevone have expected that after so many years, after she had already forgotten about those painful experiences, Deacon could actually still come looking for her to expose her. Could a person's mind be so vicious?
since Deacon was pursuing the matter so relentlessly and was driving her into a dead end, then what should Eevonne still care for? She did not want to hold a grudge against anybody. However, she also did not want to be killed like an ant by others.
Since he has come to her door, she would face him directly and go head-to-head with him! In any case, she has incredibly sufficient confidence at that moment! Deacon was so infuriated that his face turned extremely purple. He never expected Eevonne would come at him like that.
"Y-You're all capable now, aren't you? How dare you talk back to me? In the past, when you were in my company, you were always submissive and cowering like a dog wagging its tail to ask for pity. You're not like that now, aren't you? You even dared to talk back to me?"
"Mister Lowe!" Eevonne immediately raised her voice. "Are you the king or do you have some powerful figures backing you up?
Are you my parents? How could you talk to me like that? I'll be straightforward with you. since you've been so direct and that you're here to expose me today, then I must be clear with you. First of all, before I joined this company, I had already told the human resource department that my highest education obtained was middle school and I couldn't even get the middle school diploma. The first job I did in this company was to work odd jobs. I pushed a small cart around to deliver parcels to every department every day. I did this odd job for more than six months. During that period, I worked very hard and was very serious. I worked in this company during the day, and I also worked as a food delivery person at night. I know that you, both you and Dash, are going to tell all my superiors here at the Ford Group next that I once had a huge debt, I would betray the company for money, and I had once done such a thing. You would also say that I don't know how to speak Spanish, but I lied to you saying that I can speak Spanish. You would say that after I've fooled you, I was able to take the confidential information of the company out and sell the information to others when I looked for a Spanish translator. Isn't that right? However, I'll tell both of you very clearly now that ever since the first day I joined the Ford Group, I had been working two jobs. I was doing odd jobs in the Ford Group during the day, and then I would work as a food delivery person from eight at night to midnight. It has been like that every day. During the day, after I've completed all the odd jobs, I would take every opportunity to learn Spanish. Sometimes, I would even spend my toilet breaks memorizing Spanish terms. Not just now, but for many years before I started working at the Ford Group, I have also been persistently improving myself. Even when I owe more than one hundred thousand dollars, I still did not forget to learn.
When I came to the Ford Group, I summarized all of my past mistakes and told the human resource department about my past without hiding anything at all. They have seen how I worked every day in the Ford Group. I got this job in the fashion department through my hard work, when my director promoted me at that time, I kept telling him that I don't have a diploma and I only have a middle school education.
Chapter 2707 "However, my director still hired me. I am very grateful to him. Ever since the day I first joined the fashion department, I vowed that I have to be diligent, I have to work hard, and I have to do all of my work well! In the past two years, I've handled all of the orders I had on hand very well. The salary for my new job was much higher than when I was doing odd jobs, so I don't need to work as a food delivery person anymore. I then have even more time to learn, so I spent my time learning Spanish in a systematic way. I also learned about the anatomy of clothes and fashion design in a systematic way. I am already a qualified business development executive of the Ford Group's fashion department now. I have never hidden anything about myself from the company. That also includes everything that had happened in my previous companies! How I fell out with the people from the company before the last and how I lived like a traumatized person but was still cast aside by the whole company. How I went to a different company, lied to them, and lost the information of that company. I had already told my current company everything without holding anything back at all."
Eevonne's tone was already very calm when she was saying that. She was not furious. She was simply telling them a matter. It was a matter that made her feel very glad and improved her very much. She had a proud expression on her face, and when she was talking about all these, all of the people from the Ford Group nodded to give her their approval. Such a scenario indeed was out of Deacon and Dash's expectations. Especially Deacon.
Deacon's fashion company and the fashion company that Dash was working for were similar in strengths. Deacon has always wanted to collaborate with the Ford Group as well, but he never had the chance. During the more recent time when the Ford Group made an invitation to tender in the city that Deacon was in, Dash's company had beaten him to the punch. When Deacon was feeling heartbroken because he was unable to work with the Ford Group, the Ford Group came to their city to issue an invitation to tender again. Deacon was truly elated. If he could receive the Ford Group's orders, then Deacon would be able to make a guaranteed profit for the next five years. He was so happy that he called for a meeting at his company that day asking everyone in the company to treat the Ford Group's orders seriously. Right at that moment, a guest came to his company. The person was Dash.
At that time, Deacon was very surprised. He even looked at Dash with an awkward expression. "Mister Long, you and I are competitors. When the Ford Group first came to issue an invitation to tender, you were the one who won the first chance.
However, none of us expected that the Ford Group would come a second time to issue an invitation to tender, what's the matter?
Are you not conceived or what? I'll tell you something then. Our company and your company are comparable to one another. We have all of the strengths that you have!"
"It's not like this, Mister Lowe, you misunderstood me." Dash was polite.
He looked at Deacon in a friendly manner. "The reason the Ford Group could come to our city to issue an invitation to tender again was that I have given them a suggestion. I told them that there are other companies that are comparable to mine in strength in our city and have quite a good reputation. Also, I even purposefully introduced your company to the Ford Group."
Deacon was stunned at that time. "Would you be that kind?"
"No," Dash answered honestly. "I saw a woman at the Ford Group with an incredibly despicable character, who had once harmed your company and also my future. Since I have the chance to collaborate with the Ford Group, I don't want to let this woman ruin my plan. I want to get rid of this woman once and for all. I want to let our fashion industry be clean again. That would be my small contribution to the Ford Group, the company upstream of mine. I want to get rid of this woman completely, so I need your help."
"Who is this woman?" Deacon did not think of Eevonne at all at first.
In Deacon's eyes, Eevonne was not even a human and could not threaten him in any way at all. He only treated her as a pitiful thing that he could tame.
However, what he never expected was that Dash immediately said, "That woman is Eevonne York."
Chapter 2708 Deacon was truly quite shocked when he heard Eevonne's name. He had thought of many people. He tried his best to go through his mind to see if he had offended any big shots all the years he was doing business. However, what he did not expect was that the woman working in the Ford Group was actually Eevonne.
Eevonne York!
She was a person who was once treated like a dog by Deacon and the people in Deacon's company. He had once handed out a job to her and fed her like it was charity because he treated her like a dog. When they were in the mood, she was the bitch that they teased to let her lose her temper and composure. Such a person actually was working at the Ford Group. That was truly out of Deacon's expectations and also something that he could not tolerate. His impression of Eevonne was still in the wretched state that she was in when she was working at his company. In his mind, Eevonne could only be a woman who receives handouts from him, as well as a hysterical and incredibly nasty woman. He did not even consider her a human. How could such a woman be in the upstream company that he was collaborating with?
If that was truly the case, whether it would affect his collaboration with the company in the upstream sector would be a separate matter. Based on his understanding of Eevonne, that should not affect his collaboration with the Ford Group.
However, Deacon was just disgusted by it! He wanted to collaborate with the Ford Group, but Eevonne was working at the Ford Group. Such a situation was as if he was about to have a dessert that he had been anticipating for a long time, but when the dessert was already right in front of his mouth, he saw that there was a fly in there. It made him so disgusted that he wanted to throw up.
Even though he clearly knew that Eevonne being in the Ford Group was not going to affect his collaboration with the Ford Group at all, Deacon still wanted to kill the fly that was Eevonne. Wanting to kill Eevonne was simply a piece of cake to Deacon, with his understanding of her, she was very terrified of him. Whenever he was just slightly more stern when speaking, Eevonne would be so scared that she would run away in a panic. However, what Deacon did not expect was that not only did Eevonne not run away but she has such strong combat power.
Deacon was simply impressed by her calmness, her indifference, her fluent Spanish, her mind that would never be influenced by others anymore, and her strong awareness of herself. At the same time, Deacon was a little scared. Therefore, at that moment, Deacon was so shocked that his mouth was agape and he was at a loss for words. He was very embarrassed. However, Eevonne did not spare him from his embarrassment.
Since he came to challenge her and since they had already laid all their cards out on the table, Eevonne wanted to resolve this once and for all in case there would be any troubles in the future.
"Mister Lowe, since you're the person who had taken the initiative to come to me, bring this up, and invite so many of the Ford Group's high-ranking executives over, it is very clear that your goal of coming over is to expose me. Because you feel that my character is too despicable and I don't even deserve to be a human with such a character, since that’s the case, then you should have hated me very much in the three years I worked at your company, right?"
Deacon was speechless.
"Please answer me!" Eevonne said incomparably sternly.
Deacon still did not say anything. He did hate Eevonne back then, but at that moment, he did not dare to admit it in front of so many people. He was tempted to say that he did not hate Eevonne that much back then, but as soon as he came over, he cornered Eevonne in such an overbearing manner and told everyone present how detestable Eevonne was back then, how Eevonne did not deserve to be a human because of her nasty character, and so on. If he were to change what he had said at that moment, would he not be making a fool of himself?
After a long while, Deacon said haltingly, "Eevonne, you asked that question as if it's a despicable thing for me to hate you. I think you should be even clearer with your situation back then than I did, shouldn’t you? When you were working in my company back then, I was not the only one who hated you, right?"
Chapter 2709 "Was there anybody among the entire company who didn't hate you? Could you find a person who didn't hate you? I was the only one—"
Before Deacon finished his sentence, Eevonne cut him off. "what about it, Mister Lowe? You hated me incredibly so. Not only did you hate me, but all of the employees in your company also hated me. Under such circumstances, you did not care about the feelings of the others in the company, did not care that I was a liar and my academic qualifications were not that high, and you even forced yourself to put up with me just to give me a chance to work.
Therefore, you've actually shown me great favor and kindness, haven't you?"
The way Eevonne asked him in return made Deacon incredibly exasperated."Of course! otherwise, what do you think? It was because I pitied you back then. I had the mindset of giving you a chance, so I was purely tolerating you. I was forcing myself to tolerate you! Do you think that you're so capable at work?"
"Then why was it that when I was in your company back then, 1 had been moving about in front of you every day, disgusting so many of your employees every day, made a hot mess at work every day, did not bring in any profits, and even made the entire company uncomfortable, you could still give me a chance, let me stay and work, let me earn my paycheck, but now, when I'm no longer at your company, you can't tolerate me so anymore? Why must you be so vicious to me? Mister Lowe, are you going to eat your own words?"
"You..." Deacon said.
"You have to know that I'm much more capable at work now compared to ten years ago. You were able to tolerate me back then, but you can't do it anymore now. Why?"
Deacon was speechless. He was cornered by Eevonne to the point that he could not say anything anymore.
"Mister Lowe, I am now in charge of the orders now. Every time I receive an order and want to pass it down, I have to calculate the costs. After I've calculated everything, if it isn't going to make money for the company, according to our company's guidelines, we'd rather not do the business than accept orders that don't make any money. Because we don't accept it, we can take it easy, and we can even go for vacations. Therefore, for such a big company like the Ford Group that values humanism so much, they have their own standards, which is at the very least, the orders have to be profitable when it's at the budgeting stage. This goes to show that anyone who does business and is in a place for business, at the very least, has a cost budget that includes labor. As a businessman, no matter how compassionate he is, it's impossible for him to let his company keep an idler around. You can be compassionate about anything, but so many people's jobs and income are riding on the company. If you were to keep an idler around, you would be hurting everyone! You have been a businessman for so many years, so how could you not understand this? You understood better than anyone else, don't you?"
Eevonne was very calm when she asked him that. On the surface, she had no emotions at all.
That made Deacon feel like she has a sense of empathy, and he immediately answered, "It's great if you know that. If you know that, I also hope that you can understand why I came to the Ford Group to target you..."
"Mister Lowe, that's not what I'm talking about." Eevonne sneered while looking at him.
"Huh?" He was in a state of slight confusion. He could not tell what Eevonne was thinking and did not know what she was going to do next. At that moment, Deacon suddenly realized that the girl in front of him was not easy to deal with. She was calm and was good at battling. He suddenly felt that he seemed to have made a mistake for coming to battle Eevonne that day.
Sure enough, Eevonne asked slowly and clearly, "what I'm saying is that when I was working in your company back then, you clearly knew that I was useful and you clearly knew that I worked very hard, but you still insulted my character without stopping!
May I know, Mister Lowe, what was your intention back then?"
Chapter 2710 Deacon's face turned red and then as white as a sheet before it got reddened again, she was right, what was his intention back then?
Back then, Eevonne just did not have a diploma, but she was very capable at work. Eevonne has great talents in terms of coordination, data, and cost calculations. If he could succeed in brainwashing such an employee and let her be so inferior that she felt she could not find a job anymore and would be cast aside by others if she were to leave the company, then she would be working like a dog for the rest of her life while being paid the minimum wage. That was what Deacon was thinking, and also what he did. Also, he was very successful at it.
He had never treated Eevonne as a person and had never let her have any dignity. He brainwashed her every now and then to let her think that she was so nasty, shameless, and had made plenty of offensive mistakes.
Over time, Eevonne became a little neurotic. In that state, Eevonne was terrified of losing her job. she had been living in fear every day. Deacon even found out a few times through the surveillance camera that because Eevonne did not do a costing well, she secretly worked overtime by herself at the company until daybreak. She pulled an all-nighter, but she still did not dare to tell anybody. She was afraid that other people would say that she did not work hard or was not serious. In fact, there were few girls around Eevonne’s age in the company who were working as assistants. Even though they were college graduates, none of them could do a better job than Eevonne.
However, Deacon had never praised Eevonne. He thought that that was very good. If he did not praise Eevonne, she would not be arrogant and complacent, and she would always feel that she was doing poorly. In those three years, Eevonne's performance has always been at the top, but she had never had a salary increment. Not only that, but she even became the punching bag for the entire company. Since then, everybody in the company would use Eevonne to release their pressure whenever they feel irritated.
That was very helpful to the psychological state of the employees of the company. However, over time, Eevonne became the most hated person in the company.
Deacon, included, also hated Eevonne. He indeed hated her very much. He hated Eevonne for groveling and for fawning over others without a limit, and he felt that Eevonne was really like a dog.
When he hated Eevonne more and more, he also realized that Eevonne's mental state was breaking down more and more, when she could no longer endure so much anymore, the company directly fired Eevonne. In any case, they had already earned their money's worth from Eevonne in those three years. Also, after they fired Eevonne, they could also let Eevonne know that with her situation at that time, she would never be able to find any job. Perhaps she might even return to the company someday. If that were the case, then the company would still want to hire her.
Since she would be paid a very low salary, she would still be abused by the entire company. She would be an inexpensive employee who could also be the punching bag for the entire company, so why would he not want her?
However, Deacon had overlooked the fact that Eevonne was a human. Not only was she a human, but she was also very smart.
At least, she was very smart when it came to capability at work, she just had an incomparably delicate mind and a poor ability to manage her emotions. A smart person would have a smart way to do things. After Eevonne was fired from Deacon's company, she continued to make fake resumes and muddle through, and she got better and better at her job.
Also, as Eevonne had learned from her precious experience, she never had a conflict with the people at her new job anymore.
She worked very diligently and everything was going very smoothly. If she had not pretended to know Spanish when the opposite was true, if she had not let the confidential information of the company leak, Eevonne would have done very well working at that company. Not only that, but she would have also had a romantic relationship. Unfortunately, Eevonne did not get what she wished for.
A lie was still a lie, after all.
Eevonne learned from her mistakes and worked harder as she continued to walk forward in life. The more she changed, the better she became. The more she changed, the more outstanding she got.
Ten years later, she was sitting in the comfortable office of the Ford Group's fashion department and was communicating with the person-in-charge from abroad in fluent Spanish.
