Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell ( Carlisle Zahn ) Novel

Chapter 681

With her arms crossed, Sarah said with a sneer, "Assault is against the law. I should remind you that our company has a lawyer."

Sarah was frustrated by Universal Finance's recent poor performance. Kurt's confrontation gave her the perfect excuse to vent.

After all, security guards were a dime a dozen. After firing them, she could easily replace Kurt and his partner.

Kurt's eyes reddened, the veins on his neck bulging. However, he remembered what his squad leader had told him before he retired, "Remember, your skills are meant to protect the country, not to stir up trouble. Regardless of where you are, never forget your responsibility and duty to this country!"

Kurt unclenched his fists and headed toward the stairway as he slowly regained his composure.

Before he could leave, he heard Sienna scream, "Why are you still standing here, old man? Why would someone as old as you still work as a security guard? Don't you have any children to feed you?"

Sarah, who still respected the elderly, tugged at Sienna's sleeve and said, "That's enough, Enna. We should get going, too. Maybe we can meet more big shots if we arrive at the venue early."

Outside Windex Building, Carlisle called Selena to gather Sean and the others.

His luxurious Rolls-Royce attracted curious glances from almost all passers-by.

Solomon, who happened to pass by with a recruitment sign, a folding table, and a chair, greeted Carlisle.

"Good day, Mr. Zahn."

Carlisle responded with a smile.

Noticing the recruitment sign Solomon was holding, he asked curiously, "I thought HR handles recruitment. Why are you, the head of IT, out here recruiting?"

Solomon explained, "Mr. Zahn, I'm also the head of the security department. The HR department has received quite a number of applicants who falsely claim to be retired veterans. They can't tell who's genuinely a veteran, so Mr. Swanson asked me to manage the recruitment of security personnel."

Given that document verification technology was not as advanced in this era, forgeries were quite common. Not only fake veteran identities but also fake IDs could look quite genuine. Carlisle didn't dwell on the subject.

Instead, he asked, "Have you looked into Kyle?"

"Yes. Kyle holds ten percent of Wonder Corporation and some shares of its six subsidiaries. He receives about 20 million dollars in dividends yearly, and his assets have accumulated to 200 million.

"He has three girlfriends and a boyfriend, on whom he spends over 20 million annually," Solomon reported with a complicated expression, not understanding why Kyle could be in a relationship with a man.

"Boyfriend?" Wendell and Francis exclaimed, their eyes wide in disbelief.

Given that the internet was relatively new, most people were still unfamiliar with homosexuality. Carlisle also learned about it after the internet became more popular in his previous life.

Solomon continued, "From my investigation, Kyle meets up with a personal trainer every month. They were caught hugging and kissing."

"You can skip the details."

Carlisle rubbed his arms, feeling slightly queasy.

Wendell asked anxiously, "Have you shown the information to Ms. Johansen?"

"Yes. She's read through it," Solomon said, chuckling.

"She felt so uncomfortable that she lost her appetite for lunch that day."

Wendell burst into laughter. Even Francis couldn't help but chuckle in the driver's seat.

"What's so funny?" Selena asked as she emerged from the main entrance.

Wendell and the others quickly stifled their laughter.

"Nothing. I should be heading upstairs now. See you, Mr. Zahn," Solomon said before hastily exiting.

Just as he turned around, he bumped into Kurt, who was stepping out of the building. Two teenage girls were walking behind him. Solomon immediately recognized them as the chairman of Universal Finance and her close friend.

"Not bad, bro. When did you become the private bodyguard for two beautiful ladies?" Solomon teased Kurt.

With a wry smile, Kurt shook his head.

"I just got fired."

"Fired?"

Solomon was taken aback.

"What happened?"

Sienna interjected calmly, "He talked back to his boss. That's why he got fired!"

Solomon nodded with a serious expression.

"That explains it. After all, the first rule in the workplace is respecting your superior."

Sienna chuckled.

"Did you hear that? No one will side with you with that attitude of yours. So, don't act like it's our fault you're fired!"
