Chapter 916 Unabashed 

Embezzlement was a huge deal in any company. 

Kaze raised a brow. An incident happened on the first day of his job at Hudson Investment 

Firm. 

It was interesting. 

Kaze stayed silent for the moment, waiting to see what Jem had in store for him. 

was too young and 

As Jem predicted, Sophie might be capable at her job, but she was too young inexperienced in life. 

Sophie lost her cool right away. 

“What are you trying to say, Leslie? Don’t tell me you think that I instructed Lennon and Theo to take the money and run,” Sophie said angrily. 

“Ha, Ms. Song. Your words, not mine.” 

Leslie sneered. “But even if the instruction didn’t come from you, you are definitely involved. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have fled right after they bribed you. 

“Besides, why were they eager to give money to you when they were ready to skip town? Surely, you’re involved in some way.” 

Leslie glanced at the other employees and said with a smile, “Don’t you think so, guys? Why didn’t they give you or me money? Why did the money go to Ms. Song?” 

The employees responded to the question with silence. 

That was true. Lennon and Theo were going on the run. It did not make sense that they took the time and effort to give Sophie gifts. 

“Save me the accusations!” 

As 

rage washed over her face, Sophie pointed at Leslie and lashed out, “You were there when I received the chocolate eggs. All of you were present too. I never opened the box. How would I know there was money inside?” 

The question did not stump Leslie. 

The woman replied with a grin, “You didn’t know then, but you might have known later. 

Everybody saw Lennon and Theo moving the gifts to your office after the party. Who knows. what you guys talked about?” 

The employees grew skeptical of Sophie. 

“That’s slander, Leslie!” 

Sophie shook with her eyes welling up. 

Kaze frowned. Sophie was too green, caught up in Leslie’s wordplay. Leslie and Jem led Sophie by the nose. 

Sophie’s hastiness in explaining herself did little to clear her name. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

In fact, it worked against her favor. 

Since Kaze brought Sophie from Shangrila Group, he would not stand by and do nothing about the accusations against her. 

He said indifferently, “That’s enough of this, Mr. Tart. If you can’t handle your subordinate, I can do that for you. 

Leslie’s behavior was disgusting. Kaze did not want to get into it with a secretary. Otherwise, he would have slapped her a long time ago. 

“That’s enough, Leslie.” 

Sitting down with his legs crossed, Jem knocked on the desk. “You should’ve known better. Given Ms. Song’s position as Mr. Lee’s assistant, it’s important to treat her with the same respect you would show him.” 

The other colleagues scowled. 

They had to watch what they said since Sophie worked directly with Kaze. 

While Jem appeared to criticize his secretary, he was challenging Kaze’s authority. 

“I was wrong, Mr. Tart,” Leslie replied coyly and glanced at Kaze in disdain, not taking the problem seriously.
