In order to make his daughter happy, Mister Cain abused his power to bend the law for the first time. He felt that firing an ordinary female employee was truly not a big deal. It was just something as easy as waving his hands. Who would have expected that this woman was actually Kingston's wife? They even had already obtained their marriage license.
At that moment, Mister Cain was stunned. His mouth was wide open and he was unable to say anything for a long while. In the end, a kind of terror, that did not quite match his age, grew in his eyes Mister Cain knew Sebastian's character very well. Sebastian had never bent the law for his own selfish gains, and he absolutely never allowed his own subordinates to do such a thing as well! This matter has alerted Kingston, which was the equivalent that it alerted Sebastian. After that, whether the Cain family would still have a place in the Ford Group or not was up in the air!
The old man's gaze went from being unwavering initially to having a slight sense of fear, and then he said in a pleading tone to show that he has softened his attitude, "King-well, Mister Yates, it's like this-"
"Cain, let's hold your matters first." Kingston cut off Mister Cain without showing him any mercy at all.
That was basically equivalent to giving Mister Cain a slap in the face. He had a mixed expression on his
face and then he smiled awkwardly. "Alright..."
Kingston turned his head around and stared at Deacon, who was already stunned silly, with a sharp gaze.
Deacon said, "Mister...Mister Yates, they said that mistakes done in ignorance can be forgiven. I...didn't know that Eevonne is your...your wife. If I had known that she was your wife, even if you were to lend me some guts, I also wouldn't dare to..."
Actually, there was nothing wrong with what he had said. Also, it was an incomparably sincere sentence. If he had known that Eevonne was Kingston's wife, he would not have come to his turf to create trouble. He had embarrassed himself so much that he wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide inside. At that moment, there was an additional person, who was Kingston. It looked like he was going to be finished right there that day, and the chances of him being doomed were much higher. He heard that Kingston was very good in combat! He was a special bodyguard that had been following Sebastian for many years.
Kingston laughed coldly. "Mister Lowe! Such a big company like the Ford Group has never divided people into different classes. Even if it was the time when the true master of the Ford Group, Sebastian, was running the company, he also would eat at the same restaurant as the rest of the company's employees. The people who sat and ate at the restaurant would consist of the janitor lady and also Sebastian, the person with the highest power in the
Ford Group. The dishes that they would be eating would come from the same pots and pans! I have never expected that a rather small-scale downstream company like yours that's within the medium range would actually divide people into different classes!"
"I...I didn't." Deacon appeared slightly wronged. He was taking the initiative to be friendly to Kingston. However, it seemed that Kingston was not going to buy his actions.
Kingston sneered again. "Since you don't give people into different classes, then why would you explain to me that if you had long known Eevonne was my wife a long time ago, you wouldn't have come to expose her? In other words, what you meant was that if Eevonne was really not my wife and was simply an extremely ordinary employee of the Ford Group, you would have never let her go. If you're not dividing people into different classes, then what could it be?"
"I—" Deacon replied.
"Also!" Kingston suddenly cut Deacon off. His voice was also as cold as a cold sword. "Eevonne is a recognized good employee in the Ford Group. She has never harassed you, Mister Lowe. She is working diligently and properly in her company, so why did you travel the distance from your city to come over and openly slander my wife? Why is that?"
Deacon was stammering for a long while and was unable to say anything.
"Therefore, you have to compensate us with a fee for not doing anything the whole morning but keeping you accompanied here! Also, since I'm the one who is asking you for compensation, it won't be as little as a couple of million dollars. What I want is ten million!" "Ten...ten million?" Deacon was completely frozen.
