Lyna then stood up as well and walked over to Wayne.
When the others heard her words, they had also quickly risen from their seats and studied her with vigilant eyes.
"Don't get too excited and just take a seat. Shouldn't all of you be glad that I'm not working for him? Think about it. If he knew about what you did, what would he do? Moreover, there are so many of you, and even his trusted general manager is involved! Have you ever seen him get angry? I don't think so, right?"
Lyna had walked over to Wayne as she spoke. She then patted him on the shoulder and smiled as she continued, "Because those who'd seen it no longer exist in Baykeep."
As soon as she said those words, Wayne paled in fright. He slumped onto his seat, staring dazedly into space, seemingly lost in his thoughts.
The others in the room looked around at each other. As leaders of Fabian's subsidiary companies, they definitely knew how scary he was. While following him allowed them to earn big bucks, if they became his enemies, Fabian would treat them ruthlessly. For this reason, they both loved and feared him.
Consequently, the people present were convinced that Lyna had evidence of their "wrongdoings." If it fell into Fabian's hands, the consequences would be unimaginable. The people all became meek with fright, acting as if they had just lost their souls.
Looking at their faces, Lyna was pleased. She raised her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes before breaking into a soft smile. She then said faintly,
"However! I could help all of you cover up this matter."
Upon hearing her words, everyone could not help but shudder in excitement as they said, "Really? Thank you!"
Wayne's gaze darkened as he stared at Lyna, then asked, "Who exactly are you? What are you trying to do by collecting all this evidence against us?"
As the general manager of Phoenix Group that Fabian hand-picked, Wayne was no stupid man. By that time, he had already roughly guessed Lyna's motives.
"Oh? What do you mean? If I hadn't been genuinely concerned about you all, I'd already have given all this information to Fabian a long time ago. Ask yourselves. After I give it to him, what would be the consequences?"
Since she had gotten hold of pieces of evidence of their wrongdoing, naturally, she was unafraid and spoke confidently.
