Married by Accident, Taming the Billionaire novel Chapter 281

Chapter 281 The Consequences of Confronting Her 

"David, how much bribery have you accepted? Can you count it yourself? Just because you are the chairman's cousin, you have been abusing your power, threatening and harassing female employees. Do you think you can just end this with money?" 

David's face stiffened; he hadn't expected Cecelia to investigate him and have leverage over him. 

Being exposed by Cecelia in public at this moment made him extremely embarrassed, his face turning ashen. 

"Stephen, how much embezzlement have you engaged in? Do you have any idea? Aside from luxurious houses and cars, you even arranged for those mistresses of yours to live in the same neighborhood. You have built yourself quite an impressive harem!" 

Stephen listened, cold sweat forming on his forehead. He stared at Cecelia in terror, wondering what else she knew. 

"As for the other department heads and management personnel, I won't name each one. You know best what you've done. If you want to leave, leave now while you can! Don't wait for me to hand over the evidence to the police and uncover all of your secrets!" 

Cecelia's gaze grew colder and more piercing, her aura commanding the attention of everyone in the room. Seated at the head of the table, she maintained her composure. 

The four ministers who had just left the meeting center were still full of resentment outside. 

"Let's see! Without us, the conglomerate will fall apart. She'll have to beg us to come back!" 

"Exactly! It's ridiculous to think a little girl could manage the company!" 

"Regardless of everything else, we all hold shares in the company. What can she do to us?" 

Relying on their seniority, they had cultivated a considerable network of loyal supporters. They believed that after they left, their followers here wouldn't work diligently anyway. 

The future development of the conglomerate still relied on them! 

Dealing with this stubborn bunch, Cecelia adopted a tough approach. "As you've witnessed, I've already dismissed several ministers. This is not a joke! Mr. Mavis, prepare the stock transfer documents. Have them sign it. I want to purchase their shares, offer them the highest price during Linsey Corp.'s prime. If they disagree, so be it." 

"Understood!" Ludwig promptly instructed. 

Cecelia continued, "My principle has always been simple: if you're capable, you stay; if you're not, you're out! Anyone hindering the company's progress will be removed. Of course, I'll also respect your opinions. Whether to stay or go, it's your decision!" 

After Cecelia finished speaking, Ludwig added, "To all management personnel, you'll each receive two agreements: one for resignation and one for continued employment with the Tangerine Group. 

"If you don't want to stay, you can sign the resignation agreement, and the company will compensate you. If you want to continue, you can sign a new agreement with the company. 

"Starting today, with the signing of new contracts, every employee, from management to the grassroots, will be subject to performance evaluations. 

"At the Tangerine Group, we won't tolerate any dereliction of duty from now on! We need only those who can contribute to the company's development. Consider your options carefully and submit the agreements to HR." 

After the four ministers were ousted earlier, the other management personnel realized the consequences of confronting Cecelia. 

After the meeting, the HR department was crowded with management personnel. 

Some unnamed individuals voluntarily resigned, but most chose to stay for their livelihoods. 

The four ministers stayed in the HR department and noticed that many of their men resigned. They thought these individuals were loyal to their cause, as expected of their own kind. 

They believed that a mass resignation would undoubtedly have a significant impact on the conglomerate. 

The four waited for Cecelia to come and persuade them to stay, but soon, someone came with stock transfer documents for them to sign. 

David slammed the table in frustration. "She really doesn't care about our feelings at all. She doesn't intend to keep us at all?" 

Stephen sighed. "Ah, let's leave! It's not like we don't have anywhere else to go!" 

"That's right. Let's see how she manages the company!"
