Patrick’s eyes flashed with coldness, and his tone was cold. “Check her connections and accounts, see if she has any close relationships recently, as well as a large amount of cash flows. Follow this lead. She might be hiding, or the person behind her might be controlling her. Be careful, don’t alert the enemy, and find her as soon as possible!”
Nilly nodded. “Alright, Mr. Hersey. How should we deal with that Yannis?”
Patrick’s voice was filled with killing intent. “Bring him to Aster Villa. I’ll come over after the meeting and meet him personally!”
When Nilly heard the words “personally meet“, his heart skipped a beat and he felt a sense of horror.
He quickly said, “Alright, Mr. Hersey. I’ll send him over now!”
Patrick hung up the phone. He raised his wrist and looked at the time. Then, he strode towards the meeting room.
As soon as Patrick entered, everyone stopped whispering.
Patrick sat at the front expressionlessly. Nelson arrived at the conference room. early. When he saw Patrick sit down, he immediately handed over the executive summary of the meeting that had been held over the past few days to Patrick.
Patrick glanced at it and knew that there were still other issues that he needed to discuss in person.
At the beginning of the meeting, everyone was mainly focused on resolving some of the company’s important matters, as well as the promotion and jewelry production projects.
When these questions were almost done, the topic of Violet being fired was raised.
Director of the HR department, Liam Shaw, said directly, “Mr. Hersey. Lastly, do you have any other objections to the company firing the designer called Violet? If not, I’ll get someone to go through the paperwork!”
Patrick glanced at Liam lazily and said expressionlessly, “What if I have an opinion?”

Liam was stunned. “Do you think that just firing her is not enough as punishment?”
Patrick had always been like an iceberg in the company. Liam did not notice anything wrong with his expression.
He continued by himself, “That’s true. For a shameless person like Violet, the punishment is indeed a little light. As the company’s designer, she’s quite famous. She did such a shameful thing and caused serious damage to our company’s reputation. Just firing her can’t make up for our company’s losses. I’ll contact the legal department and ask her to compensate. Mr. Hersey, what do you think?” Patrick narrowed his eyes and looked at Liam indifferently without saying a word. Liam was embarrassed and felt a little awkward.
However, despite Patrick’s attitude, everyone in the company was already used to Patrick’s indifference and low pressure. They did not think about anything else.
The director of the planning department, Zack Brighton, had a good relationship with Liam. Seeing that Patrick was ignoring Liam, he could not help but speak up for Liam. “Mr. Hersey, I agree with Mr. Shaw. After all, Violet is shameless and immoral for doing such a thing. If such a person stays in the company, she will be a disaster sooner or later!”
Patrick looked at Zack coldly. Zack felt as if a gust of cold air blew over his head, making him shiver.
Patrick did not speak. Everyone thought that Patrick had tacitly agreed to fire Violet and asked her to compensate, the company for its reputation.
Now, everyone seemed to do everything they could to convince Patrick that he had made a good decision.
“Mr. Hersey, you haven’t been in Summerwood City for the past two days. Perhaps you don’t know much about this matter. Let me tell you. It’s said that Violet’s behavior is indecent. She hooked up with a married man and became a mistress. She still doesn’t repent. Her life is so chaotic!”
“Mr. Hersey, although you were the one who brought Violet into the company, you can’t judge a book by its cover. In the past, who could tell that she was actually this kind of person despite her innocent appearance? She went to bars, asked for a date, and became a mistress. She did so many inappropriate things. You can’t

indulge her anymore!”
“Mr. Hersey, we know that you cherish talents, but Violet’s reputation has been ruined and she has been scolded on the Internet. Our company can’t take in such a person! We have to fire her! And let her compensate our company for the damage to our reputation!”
When Zack and Liam saw that everyone was unanimously targeting Violet, they heaved a sigh of relief. They thought that the slight unhappiness they sensed from Patrick just now should be an illusion.
After all, no one in the company had ever seen Patrick really happy.
Skyler knew that Violet and Patrick had a good relationship, but when he saw that Patrick did not seem to care, he finally could not take it anymore.
His expression was extremely dark. “Mr. Hersey, Violet’s not that kind of person. Don’t listen to the one–sided words of those people on the Internet. There must be a misunderstanding!”
Patrick looked at Skyler in surprise.
He did not expect Skyler to take the initiative to speak up for Violet. This made his expression soften a little.
In the end, Zack said directly, “What do you mean by one–sided? The photos and videos have all showed what Violet had done. Do you dare to say that this isn’t Violet herself? And you’re even talking about a misunderstanding. Do you think anyone will believe you? Who doesn’t know that you and Violet were schoolmates? Why? Were you also Violet’s guest, Skylar?”
Patrick had read the previous insults online countless times. He already had a certain level of self–control and did not fly into a rage.
However, the word “guest” completely made him lose his temper.
Patrick suddenly laughed. His laughter was so cold that it was terrifying.
In the conference room, no one dared to say a word.
He lowered his head and said something to Nelson. Nelson nodded and immediately took out his phone to send a message.

Only then did Patrick look at everyone. He had a faint smile on his face, and there was a ruthlessness in his eyes. “You said that Violet’s private life is chaotic. Do you have evidence?”
When Liam heard Patrick’s words, he thought that Patrick had completely believed their words. He immediately said, “Mr. Hersey, I have evidence that I’ve sorted out in private. It’s all photos and videos of Violet’s indiscretions. These are enough to become the reason for Violet’s dismissal. If you want to see it, I’ll play it for you now!”
As Liam spoke, he took out the USB flash drive and was about to play it on the big screen in the conference room.
He sorted out all the photos and videos online.
He was just waiting to report back to Patrick and fire Violet to remove the mole in the company and pave the way for his promotion.
However, when Patrick heard this, he looked at Liam and a smile appeared on his face.
No matter how Liam looked at it, there was something wrong with that smile.
He had just walked to the front and was about to insert the USB when Patrick suddenly stood up.
Before anyone could react, Patrick suddenly kicked Liam onto the table.
e conference
He screamed in pain and clutched his chest. He looked at the man who was like a malicious ghost in disbelief.
Patrick said, “Why? Do you want me to praise you by broadcasting these things in the company?”
Liam was a little shocked and angry, but he did not dare to say anything. “Mr. Hersey, what do you mean? What are you talking about?”
Only then did Patrick slowly adjust his sleeves. He turned around and sat on the main seat. He glanced at Liam. “What I mean is that you can get lost from this company. Oh, right, I kicked you just now, Everyone saw it. You’re welcome to sue me at any time! I’ll be waiting right here!”
