Phoebe's legs were shaking. Her lips were trembling like mad as well. However, she had no choice and had to answer Kingston's question, "M-Mister Yates, well... Mister Yates, Eevonne...how can she possibly be your wife?
"She...she's a liar. She has lied to our company. Her highest education level is only middle school. She even deceived my boyfriend's feelings in the past. She also tricked my boyfriend's family's money. She even sold her former company's confidential information. She-" 1
"Bullshit!" Kingston suddenly slammed the table and stood up.
Phoebe was so frightened that tears were welling up in her eyes but she did not dare to let them stream down her cheeks.
"I...I'm sorry...I'm sorry, Mister Yates. L.d-don't know that she is your...wife. When...did y-you get married?" she stammered.
How could this be possible? Phoebe was not alone. Nobody among the people present could believe that Eevonne was Kingston's wife.
After all, being one of the five managing directors of the Ford Group, if Kingston were to get married, it would not have caused a sensation in the entire city, but it would still cause a sensation in the entire Ford Group, would it not? However, there was no news about it at all. Even if Kingston were to get married in secret, should Kingston's wife not be a socialite from South City or a marriage arranged for him by Sebastian? How could she possibly be an out-of-towner who stopped studying in middle school?
Kingston sneered and answered Phoebe honestly, "We still haven't held our wedding, but it's going to be very soon. I will find a day with good weather and have a wedding ceremony with Eevonne. However, we've already obtained our marriage license from city hall six months ago! Eevonne is truly my legally wedded wife! I think there's probably no such a rule in the Ford Group that the wife of the managing director can't work in the company, right?"
There indeed was no such a rule. When Kingston said that, nobody had anything else to say anymore.
Especially Mister Cain. The old man had contributed quite a lot to the Ford Group and was also indeed the company's pillar. Usually, he would never do things like abusing his power to bully the people under him. The reason was that Sebastian was sitting at the top, so nobody truly dared to make any trouble in the company. However, this time, the old man truly failed miserably at the simplest task.
He only has one precious daughter. His daughter cried so hard in front of him that her nose was all reddened. "Dad, Eevonne is too detestable. I feel disgusted at the sight of her. She is Dash's ex-girlfriend. You have no idea how she used to pester Dash. It was to the extent that Dash was tempted to jump into a well to kill himself. Who would have known that after so many years, she came to our company? If Dash hadn't come to our company to bid for the tender this time, we never would have known that this maggot is actually in our company. Dash would be dealing with the Ford Group often in the future. Every time he comes to the company, he would have to meet this woman and also discuss work with her. That's so disgusting. Also, until today, the woman still hasn't moved on from Dash. Also, she kept trying to build a relationship with Dash. Dash had already told her a few times to resign, but she just wouldn't resign. Dad, not only did she not resign, but she even took the initiative and suggested that she wants to liaise with Dash for work. Tell me, what kind of intentions do you think this woman has?"
When Mister Cain heard that, he was also extremely angry. Was it not obvious? Not only did she overestimate her own abilities, but she actually wishfully thought of stealing the man of a young lady from a rich family. The old man had looked into Eevonne's working abilities, and he also could not deny that Eevonne was serious and down-to-earth. Actually, he would not mind what Eevonne had done in the past. All those embarrassing things that Eevonne had done in Deacon's company, in particular, Mister Cain did not care about them at all. 1
The only thing he cared about was that the more days the woman was working in the Ford Group, the more days the daughter would be unhappy.
