The Fall of Daddy Chapter 8
The final verdict came down three months later.Seth had misappropriated a total of 4.72 million dollars. Taking into account his guilty plea and the fact that he had returned part of the money, the court sentenced him to two years in prison.Because Xena had cooperated with the investigation and provided valuable evidence, prosecutors ultimately decided not to press criminal charges against her.As I left the courthouse, Xena stopped me on the steps."Ms. Yates, thank you."I said nothing."I am not trying to make you feel sorry for me." She tugged at the corner of her mouth, but the resulting smile looked painfully forced. "I just wanted to tell you that I really was wrong. I was terribly wrong. However, Seth and I... it was not completely the way you thought.""In the beginning, I really thought we were in love."Later, I realized he wanted someone young and easy to control, while I wanted a shortcut that would save me twenty years of hard work."She lowered her head."Nei

I waited until they had nearly exhausted themselves before I raised my hand. The security guards separated them, but kept both of them restrained.At that moment, my assistant stepped forward and handed over three folders.The head of the legal department opened the first one and read it aloud."First, Mr. Seth Hawkins's termination notice. Under the company's bylaws and his employment contract, due to serious violations of professional ethics and company policies, Mr. Hawkins is hereby removed from his position as CEO, effective immediately. His employment contract is also terminated."Applause erupted from the audience.People looked thrilled to see it happen."Second, Ms. Lilian Yates's divorce agreement. Under the terms of the prenuptial agreement, Mr. Hawkins's extramarital affair constitutes grounds for divorce, and he will leave the marriage with no claim to marital assets. In addition, he is required to pay a 50 million dollar penalty within thirty days."Seth suddenly s

"You said the company was yours!"Xena grabbed Seth by the arm."You said the shares would be transferred to you after you divorced that old woman! You said all of Starlight Technologies would be yours!"Seth tried to shake her off."Xena, we will talk about this at home...""Home?" Xena let out a sharp, bitter laugh. "You meant that mansion you supposedly owned before you got married? You told me you bought it yourself! Where is the deed? Show it to me!"She turned toward me and pointed with a trembling finger."You said this old woman was completely dependent on you! You said she was just some old woman who knew nothing, and that you were the one running the entire company!"I smiled.A genuine smile."Ms. Lynch, allow me to properly introduce myself. My name is Lilian Yates. I am the sole heir to Lawson Group and the chairwoman of Starlight Technologies."I paused and watched the color drain from her face inch by inch."As for Mr. Hawkins, my father chose him as my husba

I held the presentation remote in my hand. The red laser dot landed on the title.[Starlight Technologies CEO Transition Announcement]Before I could speak, Xena shouted furiously."Old woman! You have no right to touch Daddy's position!"I smiled and looked at Seth."Daddy, why do you not tell her? Do I have the right?"Seth opened his mouth, but no words came out. He still looked shocked.Xena pouted."Just because Daddy does not want to argue with you does not mean you can do whatever you want."She turned to Seth with a look that begged for praise."Daddy, kick her out."The security team entered at that moment. Four men split into two groups and stood by.Xena smiled triumphantly."Throw this old woman out!"None of them moved.Xena froze. Her face turned bright red with anger."Are you all deaf?"She stomped her foot and turned to Seth with a pleading expression."Daddy, say something! They are bullying me. They will not even listen to me!"Seth stood up. His c

The first person I called was our general counsel."Mr. Walker, I need Seth's personal banking records from the past year, along with the financial records for every project he had been involved with. I needed them now."The second call was to my assistant."Mr. Zeller, prepare a statement announcing the change of CEO at Starlight Technologies immediately. Also, notify the IT department to take control of the main screen at the annual gala. I will text you the authorization code."The third call was to the head of security."Mr. Ellison, bring four men to the main ballroom and wait for my instructions."After I hung up, I looked at Tracy. "Thank you for everything tonight."Tracy shook her head. "Ms. Yates, I have worked for you for ten years. Mr. Hawkins has gone too far.""I know." I straightened my dress and gave myself one final look in the mirror. My lipstick still looked perfect, my eyeliner had not smudged, and not a single strand of hair was out of place.The woman sta

Tracy pulled me into the stairwell before she finally let go. She breathed hard as she pulled her phone from her pocket."You need to see this."On her screen was a conversation from an internal company chat group called "Office Gossip."I knew about the group.Three months earlier, the IT department had brought it to my attention."Someone created an anonymous gossip group. Do you want us to do something about it?"At the time, I had said only one thing. "As long as it does not interfere with work, leave them alone."I never imagined that the group would end up putting on such a show.The latest message had been posted twenty minutes earlier.[Holy crap! Xena just called Mr. Hawkins Daddy onstage, and Mr. Hawkins actually went up there and rubbed her foot!][I knew those two were up to something.][That cup on Xena's desk is exactly the same as Mr. Hawkins's. They are matching couple's cups.]Tracy scrolled through the messages."Scroll up."I scrolled back.Three days
