Chapter 77
Elizabeth cocked her head to one side to avoid the cup, which fell to the floor and broke into pieces, spilling tea all over her.
Ethan, who followed Elizabeth, was startled, and cried, "Aunt Elizabeth!"
Charles's eyes widened when he saw Ethan.
"Who the f*k make you take advantage of the company to fight against Paige? Get the f*ck in here and make it clear!"
It was about Paige, and that flurried Elizabeth and Ethan. The rage in Charles made them tell how bad it was this time.
Getting the door closed, Elizabeth and Ethan walked up to Charles nervously.
Ethan was too afraid to speak, and Elizabeth broke the silence, "Honey, what happened?"
"Drop the act. Ethan really hasn't tell you? He would have dared to make use of the lawyer team and Public Relations Section to pay Internet trolls without your permission? How dare he use the company's money for his own purposes? Who the hell he thinks he is?"
Charles was good at swearing, and Elizabeth didn't dare to refute him. She and Ethan were still in confusion about what was going on about Paige.
Of course, Elizabeth wouldn't put the blame on her nephew, so she immediately took the responsibility.
"Honey, it's my fault. Ethan told me about Paige's plagiarism. It was connected to Wolf Group. I suspected that an accident would happened, so I asked the Public Relations Section to do something and contact Wolf Group. But Paige has been kicked out, so there will be nothing..."
Before Elizabeth could finish, Charles slapped her in the face. "Why did you deny it, you actually participated in it yourself and you didn't say anything to me. You already make yourself the owner of the company?"
The slap was heavy. She covered her face with no words. Ethan was shocked aside.
He thought that his aunt was important to Charles, not expecting to watch Charles hit on her.
He tried to take the responsibility but chickened out when he saw the scene.
Charles's slap on Elizabeth's face didn't ease his anger. "Settle this down yourself. I won't clean things up for you this time!"
"Honey, I'll get it settled." Elizabeth was making no defence to the slap. "Just tell me what did Paige do?"
"Paige did what? She asked the lawyer to send a lawyer's letter to accuse the Dawson Group of trespassing on her privacy and tarnishing her reputation, and she also accused the Dawson Group of having fired her and lodged a claim for 500 million!"
"By herself?" Elizabeth still didn't take Paige as a threat at all. "Honey, the proof of Paige's raid is conclusive. She can't turn it around."
"Are you f*king stupid? Why do you think that Paige can't turn it around? You know it clearly about whether she plagiarized or not."
Charles couldn't help but haul off at her again. "Just f*cking attack her on the weakness. You framed her without any evidence. She is tougher than you imagine."
"We have collected evidence of her plagiarizing. The designer has also been bribed by us and showed her attitude to the public. Liam also said he wouldn't help Paige. She won't have a chance to turn the tables." Ethan, who had been silent, bit the bullet to interrupt.
"You are f*cking talking about this with me? You tell me where the designer is."
"This... I'll ask Sophia about it." All of this was done by Sophia. To tell the truth, Ethan did not know who the designer was.
With this reply, Charles was angry to the extreme that he threw all the papers from the table. "Idiot! You didn't even learn about the situation by yourself? How the f*ck did you make yourself a manager?"
Ethan's face turned red because of the scolding. He knew he got to the position of the manager in Dawson Group because of Elizabeth. Without Elizabeth, he would just be a minor section chief at most.
Charles had been used to hitting Elizabeth and that was why he hit her just now.
Elizabeth shamelessly seduced him trying to make herself the mistress of the family. She had been punished by Charles for many times over the years.
But Ethan was different. He was not Charles' son, just an outsider. He was not obliged to teach Ethan the lessons.
Charles chose Ethan to be the manager for his qualifications and Elizabeth's recommendation. Of course, he could throw another one out of the company right now.
Charles suppressed the anger. "I don't even have to investigate it and I know the results. Paige hired Michael Davis to be her lawyer, it meant that she has strong evidence to kill you!" Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
"What? She had Michael?" Elizabeth said in surprise.
"Michael was Wolf Group's great chief attorney, who never lost in his cases. So Paige really had evidence to turn the tables?" Thought Elizabeth.
Elizabeth panicked, and Ethan panicked even more. A look passed between them, and Elizabeth was not able to care about her face.
"Ethan, what's going on? You said you got fully prepared and there was no chance that she could change it."
"I... I'll ask Sophia right away!" Ethan stuttered
Looking at Ethan's chaotic and twirly look, Charles couldn't help but sneer.
"You started it and you need to clean it up yourself. And you have to pay for the compensation if there is a need. If you get the company discredited, then pack up and get out of here! The useless guys can not stay in the Dawson Group!"
It hurt Ethan more than slapping him in the face. He immediately pulled out the phone and called Sophia.
Sophia felt an unendurable sense of being hit by Paige, so she and Isabella immediately went to Liam to cry.
Seeing that Sophia's cheeks were swollen and her body was covered with bruises, Liam was furious. Isabella was adding highly coloured details to this affair. I
"God, Sophia's still pregnant. And Paige was so brutal to her. Terrible if something happens to the baby. Paige has gone too far this time. You have to talk to her, or she'll do it again someday."
After Isabella's words, Liam called Paige while no one answered it. He started to swore, "This disobedient daughter actually refuses to answer my call."
"Then go find her. She lives in Lake View Nest. Liam, you must talk with her to her face about it. She won't take it seriously at all on the phone."
"You're right. I have to talk to her and ask her to apologize to Sophia, and make her promise that she won't do such unreasonable things again. Still, I have to make her break up with that poor man. If she refuses, I will deprive her of her inheritance rights!"
Liam's words made Sophia and Isabella burst a thousand laughs in their hearts. They firmly believed that Paige wouldn't apologize or break up with the man.
"And then she would definitely have a fierce quarrel with Liam which will end up with Liam taking away
Paige's inheritance right. That will make Sophia the only heir."
"We will be so close to the multi-million dollar empire. How wonderful it is!"
After seeing Liam out, they began to contemplate their future happily, when Ethan called them.
