Eva struggled violently a few times, realizing Claudia's grip was surprisingly strong.
This humiliating posture was fine for some private bedroom fun behind closed doors.
But in front of so many people, it was purely a public disgrace.
"Claudia, let go first. If you have something to say, we can sit down and talk."
Barton also hadn't expected Claudia to show up at his company at this hour.
Seeing a crowd of subordinates lingering at the door to watch the drama, he roared, "Get the hell out!"
The startled employees were just about to leave when Claudia yelled, "Let's see who dares to leave today. Whoever walks out that door is fired."
Now the spectating employees were stuck—they couldn't stay, and they couldn't leave.
One was the boss, the other was the boss's wife. They couldn't afford to offend either.
Barton could tell Claudia was truly furious.
Thinking of the immense wealth and power the Beaumont family represented, he knew it wasn't the right time to tear up their alliance, so he forced himself to come up with an excuse.
"Honey, here's what happened. This employee was careless and ruined an important document. I was so furious that I punished her this way in a fit of absolute rage."
Claudia didn't get angry; she laughed.
"I just learned today that the Grover Group's disciplinary measures include corporal punishment."
Barton spewed his utter nonsense with a straight face.
"This is a new company policy introduced recently. Not only does she get beaten for making a mistake, but other employees will be beaten if they mess up too."
The spectating crowd of employees: "..."
No, they absolutely did not want that kind of beating.
