Chapter 472

Author: Tina Peach
Xavier elbowed Tyler.

"Come on, show some restraint."

Tyler took a puff of his cigarette before looking back at Xavier in disdain.

"An old geezer like you wouldn't understand the kind of energy young people like I have. Drink more chamomile tea when you have nothing better to do."

Xavier said huffily, "Quit talking down on me. Also, I'm not an old geezer. I'm a middle-aged geezer. You're not my wife, so how would you know my level of energy in that regard? You rascal…"

Tyler chuckled but said nothing.

Xavier fell silent. Standing next to Tyler, he opened his mouth again to explain.

"I'm in great shape. Ask my wife if you don't believe me…"

Tyler looked like he couldn't care less; he took a step back and widened the distance between the both of them.

"I don't benefit even if you're in great shape.Why bother explaining yourself to me?"

Xavier was rendered speechless. He opened his mouth to retort again, but didn't know what to say and eventually gave up.

Forget it—he was certa

    Yvette still didn't give up and shouted after Gary, but he acted like he hadn't heard a thing.She was trembling all over, nearly flushed with anger.She quickly called Sasha. "Mom, you need to think of something fast. Mr. Summers is already drafting the HR report to appoint Rachel as the CEO!""What? What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you to take advantage of her relationship with Tyler?" Sasha said, aghast."I did! But Tyler just showed up and basically made it crystal clear that if Rachel doesn't take over the company, he's not doing business with us."Sasha was silent for a moment."Looks like Rachel really has some tricks up her sleeve. She actually managed to sweet-talk Tyler into helping her climb the ladder, and he's even willing to hand over a project for her."Yvette was already furious, and hearing Sasha say this only fueled her anger."What the hell did Rachel do to brainwash Tyler like this?"Sasha, being the seasoned one, remained calm."No need to panic. Don'

    Gary's expression changed the moment he saw Tyler. At first, he looked completely stunned, but once he snapped out of it, he rushed over to greet him."Mr. Hunt, is it really you? What an honor to have you visit our company! Is there something we can help you with today?""I just happened to stop by. Thought I'd discuss a potential project with your CEO, Ms. Rachel. But, oh right, she's not the CEO yet. Never mind, then."Tyler's voice trailed off into sarcasm mid-sentence. He then brushed it off like it was nothing.Rachel watched the whole exchange unfold with wide eyes. Tyler flipped the mood like flipping a switch, turning Gary from hopeful to nervous to disappointed, all in seconds. It was the first time she had ever seen someone manipulate another person's emotions so precisely.When Gary realized Tyler was about to leave, he rushed after him in a panic."Mr. Hunt, please! This is a misunderstanding. We, the shareholders, had already decided that Ms. Rachel would take over

    "Have you really stooped so low that you'd do anything to get your way with a man? But don't get ahead of yourself, Rachel! Do you really think the Hunt family would ever let Tyler marry a divorced woman?"Yvette's blatant questioning practically nailed Rachel to the pillar of shame, as if divorce was something disgraceful. Just like that, others started chiming in."Now that you mention it, I heard Ms. Rachel and Mr. Hunt had something going on five years ago. Back then, she wasn't even divorced from Mr. Lewis yet.""If that's true, their relationship might be more complicated than we thought. That woman is seriously cunning.""She waited five whole years just to win over Mr. Hunt? An ordinary person wouldn't have that kind of determination.""I really can't stand women like her! I don't get what Mr. Lloyd was thinking. Sure, Ms. Yvette hasn't really contributed much to the company over the years, but at least she's never been caught in any scandal.""She probably knows she ca

    "We admit we were wrong! Didn't we already say we'd write a self-reflection? We'll finish it and read it out loud in front of everyone tomorrow, is that okay?""Wasn't that already the plan? What else is there to discuss?" Rachel replied blandly."N-No objections, that's good enough.""Yes, yes, we have no objections at all."Everyone knew the stakes. Compared to getting fired or blacklisted across the entire industry, writing a self-reflection was a minor punishment.Just then, the shareholders walked out."They can't just write self-reflections anymore. They must be fired immediately!""That's right. They knowingly broke the rules and made such serious mistakes at work. They need to be dismissed! Have a formal announcement issued. From now on, people like them will never be employed by our company."The employees went weak in the knees from fear."Please, Mr. Summers, we admit we were wrong. We're begging you, please don't take our jobs away!""We're willing to accept anyth

    "Can you sign it now?" Rachel asked.Although Yvette was reluctant deep down, she didn't dare gamble on this.If Rachel really lost her temper and exposed the truth, forget everything else—Yvette might end up spending the rest of her life in prison.Yvette bit down hard on her lip, eyes full of rage and resentment. She then signed the form."Happy now?"Rachel handed the document to Cecilia. "You can start work tomorrow."Cecilia was overjoyed. She hadn't expected things to go this smoothly.She had been worried that Yvette might refuse to let her join the company, but she didn't want to put Rachel in a difficult spot. If that happened, this whole thing might fall through.Yvette's willingness to sign caught her off guard.With her goal achieved, Rachel was ready to leave. But just as she turned, Yvette suddenly called out to her."Rachel, wait…!"Rachel knew exactly what Yvette wanted to ask. Her voice turned cold as she gave her a warning."Yvette, if you know how to keep

    An employee came rushing in. Yvette was already irritated. She thought holding the position of deputy CEO would give her the upper hand and a chance to put Rachel in her place.Nobody expected Rachel would turn things around using the incident with Sharon, beating Yvette at her own game.Now, all her carefully laid plans were completely ruined.Hearing the commotion from the employee, Yvette couldn't help but snap in frustration."What are you yelling for? Do you not know how to behave?"The employee quickly quieted down. "Ms. Yvette, some of our company's employees have just been exposed online for some pretty serious scandals. You should really take a look."Yvette frowned and immediately retrieved her phone. Before she could even finish reading, she shot up from her chair."What the hell? Who leaked this?"The employee stammered, "I-I don't know. It was just posted not long ago. I'm not clear on the details, either."Rachel raised an eyebrow at Yvette's dramatic reaction.
