Chapter 263
Bruno's back was drenched in cold sweat.
He bit down hard and tasted a hint of blood, which finally calmed him down.
Bruno told himself in his heart, 'Calm down. I can't lose my composure.
'Even if he finds out, so what?
'I'm one of the few remaining high-ranking execs in the company.
'Audrey just took over the company and is in dire need of staff.
'It won't do her any good to offend me at the moment.'
With this in mind, Bruno suddenly felt fearless again.
He picked up the file, lightly patting it, and said calmly, "It's no big deal. I've worked tirelessly for the company for ten years.
"Even though I haven't made significant achievements, I have fulfilled my duties. Therefore, I believe I deserve some rewards. You should understand my perspective. Pushing each other to our limits isn't beneficial for anyone." Bruno's tone was arrogant.
He didn't show remorse, and instead, he threatened Alistair and Audrey.
Audrey gripped the edge of the desk tightly, a hint of coldness in her eyes.
She had long known about Bruno's abuse of power for personal gain.
In the past, considering he was a senior member of the company and hadn't caused any major issues, Audrey let it pass.
However, she didn't expect Bruno to become so arrogant that he'd forget himself.
Seeing Audrey remain silent, Bruno thought he had her under control. His expression even showed a bit of smugness as he continued to taunt, "Ms. Rhodes, I honestly have nothing against you. You're truly exceptional."
Bruno crossed his legs and kept silent for a moment. Then he switched the topic and said, "But your taste in men is really off. Keeping someone like your guy, who doesn't even understand the basic rules of the workplace, will only ruin the company." Hearing Bruno's words, some of the other top executives felt somewhat shaken.
They believed Audrey's husband was overly straightforward, and his attitude could be a disadvantage in the workplace.
They worried if he accidentally offended some important figure in the future, it could even bring the company down.
Unable to stand Bruno talking about Alistair like that, Audrey immediately put on a stern face, ready to defend Alistair. However, Alistair subtly shook his head at her.
Knowing he had it under control, Audrey held back her anger for the moment.
However, Bruno went even further, lecturing, "Ms. Rhodes, I've been with the
u
company for a long time,
and Chave some ties with your dad...
I mean, Mr. Rhodes.
"Today, I'll be bold and offer some advice as an elder. If a woman marries the wrong person and doesn't realize it, her whole life could end up wasted.
"You're such a great catch, sowet
tie yourself down to a loser?
Wouldn't it be better to take back
your shares, get a divorce, and find a more suitable partner?"
Alistair's eyes narrowed slightly as he sneered, "Who do you suggest Audrey should marry after divorcing me?"
Bruno raised an eyebrow and said confidently, "Now that Ms. Rhodes is the CEO of Rhodes Enterprises, whoever matches her should naturally be exceptional. "Isn't there just one suitable match for her in Riverdale who happens to be interested in her?"
Hearing this, a few other executives recalled Dominic's recent high-profile declaration of love for Audrey.
If Audrey could actually reconcile with Dominic, with the help of the Hayes family, Rhodes Enterprises would surely establish a strong presence in Riverdale.
Seeing the people's scheming faces, Audrey felt disgusted and hated Bruno even more.noveldrama
Alistair stared at Bruno intently and stated bluntly, "It seems like you're quite close with your new employer. You're already thinking about him even before you've started working for him."
Bruno's expression suddenly changed as he exclaimed harshly, "What... What new employer are you talking about?"
Alistair raised an eyebrow, speaking slowly and calmly, "Didn't you secretly meet with Dominic last night to plot against Rhodes Enterprises?"
Alistair's words made the entire conference room fall into an eerie silence.
What do you think?
