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.
Mason, who followed Elizabeth, was startled, and cried, "Aunt Elizabeth!"
Charles's eyes widened when he saw Mason. "Who the f*ck make you take advantage of the company to fight against Valeria? Get the f*cking in here and make it clear!"
It was about Valeria, and that flurried Elizabeth and Mason. The rage in Charles made them tell how bad it was this time.
Getting the door closed, Elizabeth and Mason walked up to Charles nervously. Mason was too afraid to speak, and Elizabeth broke the silence, "Honey, what happened?"
"Drop the act. Mason 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 Mason were still in confusion about what was going on about Valeria.
Of course, Elizabeth wouldn't put the blame on her nephew, so she immediately took the responsibility.
"Honey, it's my fault. Mason told me about Valeria'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 Valeria 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. Mason 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 Valeria do?"
"Valeria did what? She asked the lawyer to send a lawyer's letter to accuse the Howard Group of trespassing on her privacy and tarnishing her reputation, and she also accused the Howard Group of having fired her and lodged a claim for 500 million!"
"By herself?" Elizabeth still didn't take Valeria as a threat at all. "Honey, the proof of Valeria's raid is conclusive. She can't turn it around."
"Are you f*cking stupid? Why do you think that Valeria 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. Ronald also said he wouldn't help Valeria. She won't have a chance to turn the tables." Mason, 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 Ashley about it." All of this was done by Ashley. To tell the truth, Mason 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?"
