Chapter 57
Rachel was stunned by her cold and scornful gaze.
Before she had time to get angry again, she saw Lyra take out her cell phone and started to read something out unhurriedly, "Rachel Collier, employee of Cloudbound. During your five years in the company, you secretly dated other supervisors many times behind the back of Mr. Louise Dillon here, the Deputy General Manager of Business Department. And you also took advantage of the business trips to hook up with numerous clients. Tsk, I didn't expect you to be so capable."
"Shut up!"
Rachel's original arrogance was immediately weakened a bit already, "You have no evidence. This is slander! I can sue you for defamation."
"Hold on, I'm not done yet."
Lyra continued to read with interest the information on her phone, "Also, you've embezzled more than 20,000 dollars. This little habit of yours remains unchanged since you were out of the orphanage. Am I right? This money is not enough to send you to jail, but if your company finds out..."
She gave a slight pause and her red lips smiled brightly.
Rachel followed her pause with a skip of heartbeat.
"They'll definitely fire you, I'm afraid. But I also wonder if other companies in the industry will blacklist you when they find out?"
Lyra put away her phone and turned to admire Rachel's livid face with aplomb.
"Where's the evidence?!"
Rachel insisted, "You've made up such a wonderful story that I almost believed it. But don't you try to slander me without concrete evidence!"
She rolled her eyes at Lyra, but not long after she said those words, her phone rang.
Lyra raised an eyebrow and smiled, hinting at Rachel with her eyes, "Isn't that what you've asked for?"
Rachel glared at her with hatred; seeing that it was her leader calling, she answered the phone with trembling hands.
Before she could say hello, the leader's angry scolding rang out in her ears.
"Good for you Rachel Collier. I thought you were an honest person. Turned out you're quite bold! I know all the good things you did! Cloudboud won't allow such a scum like you to be our employee. You are finished!"
"No, sir, please listen to my explanation!"
Rachel was so anxious that her voice took on a crying tone as she defended herself, "It's all because someone has set me up. You've got to trust me!"
"Set you up? Do you really think I'm an idiot?"
The leader snorted, "Hurry to the company. I'll let you know exactly why you should scram!"
Rachel struggled to explain, but the other party had already hung up impatiently.
She put down the phone in despair. Her eyes looking at Lyra were now imploring, when the previous contempt had long since dissipated.
Lyra became the owner of the entire car market in just half an hour, and then found out all her background information in the few minutes when she was arguing with Louis.
This woman was terrifying!
"Who the hell are you?!"
She stared at Lyra with an astonished face, but the latter just gave a half smile, aloof and proud gaze. Even if she was just standing, the strong presence she got was like innate.
Rachel finally realized that Lyra must be something more than the plain orphanage girl she remembered.
"Lyra, I made a mistake! Please forgive me!"
She put herself in an extremely humble position, with pleading written all over her face.
"I can't lose this job, I'm really wrong. Please spare me!"
Lyra did not say a word, as if waiting for her to continue.
"I did it all wrong. I shouldn't have humiliated you. Considering that we had been in the orphanage together for so many years. I know you're magnanimous. Could you do me this favor as a friend? I really can't lose this job. I can't get blacklisted by the industry!"
She kept bowing and apologizing to Lyra, humbling herself to the dust.
A stark contrast to the arrogance she had just displayed.
Seeing that Lyra remained silent, Rachel became more flustered and she knelt down, starting to kowtow.
"Lyra, I've realized my mistakes for real. I'm sorry. Just let me go! I have apologized up to this point. I know you are a reasonable person. Mercy!"
"Finished?"
Lyra walked up to her and pinched her chin, forcing Rachel to look straight into her eye, "You're wrong. I'm a vengeful man, never reasonable nor magnanimous. And I have given you the chance, but you didn't cherish it."
She let go of Rachel, pulled a Kleenex out of her bag, and wiped her hands gracefully.
"See them out."
Lyra sneered, "From now on, these two people will never be allowed to set foot in the car market again."
The general manager stepped out in time and instructed the security guards, "Are you all deaf and didn't you hear Ms. Carroll? Get these two out of here!" All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Several security guards rushed over carrying dirty mops in their hands, and they kept waving them around, shoving the two people away.
Louis and Rachel were like two street rats, wretchedly whisked out of the car market.
Satisfied with the disappearance of the two, Lyra returned to the VW store.
The general manager followed her while talking in a fawning way.
"Boss, do you need me to help you familiarize yourself with other brands in the car market? After all, you just bought it, you may not know much about the industry, so..."
"No need, I have my own arrangements."
Lyra gave him a sidelong glance, warning him with her eyes not to talk too much.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have said so much."
The general manager, with an ingratiating smile on his face, patted his mouth twice, fearing that he would be removed from his job for saying the wrong thing.
Lyra stopped in front of a Magotan, surveyed the flamboyantly colored red car, pulled open the door and got in.
"Don't let anyone know that I've bought the car market." Lyra continued in a lower voice, "If I find out this is exposed, you..."
Her lips curled up into a smile and that smile was bright and beautiful, but the her gaze was bone- chilling.
The general manager was frightened and immediately patted his chest to swear, "Don't worry! I can guarantee you that every one of your request will be met!"
"In the future, the overall operation of the car market will remain the same as before. You'll be in charge of everything. Report on your work to me once a month regularly, and the rest of the time you're not allowed to bother me."
With this finished, Lyra slammed on the gas and drove away dashingly.
It was obviously just an ordinary and inexpensive car, but the way she drove made it like a legit supercar.
The general manager stared dumbfounded at the receding red dot and couldn't help sighing.
"What a spirited woman. This new boss is really not an ordinary person."
Especially after watching the whole process of her handling Louis and Rachel, he was more determined not to mess with her in the future.
...
On the road, Lyra turned on the radio and drove at a fast rate.
The hiccup that had just occurred was not worthy of her attention anymore, and she hummed happily as she prepared to return to the Angle Group.
The familiar ringtone rang. Lyra glanced at the phone. It was Kellie calling. She hesitated for a moment before putting on her Bluetooth headset.
"I'm on my way back to the office. Make it brief."
"Director, you're on the trending news again!"
