Spencer had made that call in front of Jacqueline and the others. Had Charlize made that call instead,
Jacqueline would surely have assumed that she was putting up an act.
Since Spencer was a wealthy and successful man, no one would dare call him out for defending
Charlize. After all, there was no need for him to put up an act.
Charles was the current chairman of Prosperity Enterprise and the sole heir of the Johnson family.
If Charlize was Charles’ sister, then that would mean she was the daughter of the Johnson family.
That family background alone was enough to make her a good match for Spencer, if not the best. In
fact, her social status was much higher than that of Spencer’s.
Most of the onlookers had believed Spencer’s words, but Jacqueline refused to.
If Charlize really is the daughter of the Johnson family, then why didn’t she mention it during her four
years in university?
That was when Jacqueline recalled Charlize being picked up by a fancy car at the entrance of the
university every weekend and semester break. Her face went pale instantly.
I saw a man in his fifties open the car door for Charlize, so I assumed she had found herself a sugar
daddy. I even secretly took pictures of that scene and had my cousin post it in the university’s forum
anonymously! That resulted in the other students gossiping about Charlize. Even the campus hunk,
who was courting Charlize at the time, changed his mind and courted me instead. I was so happy when
it happened. Watching Charlize suffer while everyone else envied me felt really great! However, if she
truly is Charles’ sister, then that man was probably just her driver or something.
Realizing the fatal mistake that she had made, Jacqueline instinctively felt the urge to get out of there,
but it was far too late.
Charles had already arrived at the scene. Naturally, everyone there recognized him as the CEO of
Prosperity Enterprise.
Quite a number of people gasped in shock when they saw Charles show up.
Given how he was dressed in a suit and had his hair styled up nicely, it became obvious that he had
just been at a social dinner. “What happened, Charlize? Who was it that bullied you?”
“I wasn’t bullied, Charles,” Charlize replied awkwardly.
Charles knew his sister all too well. He had protected her so much that she became completely
harmless.
Sometimes, he wished Charlize would be a little more like Sophia. That way, he wouldn’t have to worry
about her being bullied.
Since Charlize refused to tell him the truth, Charles shifted his gaze toward Spencer and asked, “Which
employee of mine was it?”
Spencer, who was not as forgiving as Charlize, pointed at Jacqueline with an expressionless look on
his face. “That one over there. Her name is Jacqueline Lamer, and she claims to be an employee at
Prosperity Enterprise.”
Spencer, who was not as forgiving as Charlize, pointed at Jacqueline with an expressionless look on
his face. “That one over there. Her name is Jacqueline Lamer, and she claims to be an employee at
Prosperity Enterprise.”
Charles turned his head in the direction Spencer was pointing at and spotted Jacqueline almost
instantly. The fact that she was wearing a bright red dress only made her all the more noticeable.
Because Charles was the CEO of Prosperity Enterprise, he had never even met a small-time employee
like Jacqueline before. “Which department are you from?”
Jacqueline tensed up the moment she heard that. “I’m sorry, Mr. Johnson! I-I didn’t mean it!”
She only managed to get into Prosperity Enterprise by putting in a lot of effort and having her parents
pull lots of strings.
Given Prosperity Enterprise’s reputation in its industry, she could earn two to three times her current
wage if she worked there for three years. If she decided to change companies, she could easily get a
managerial position with an annual salary of four to five hundred thousand.
“Ms. Lamer, was it? It’s all right if you refuse to answer me. I’m sure the company’s system is working
perfectly fine.”
All Charles had to do was have his secretary contact the company’s Human Resources department
and pull up Jacqueline’s file from the system.
Realizing that there was no use in pleading with Charles, Jacqueline bit down on her lip and protested,
“One who errs unknowingly should not be held responsible, Mr. Johnson! I didn’t mean to say that to
Ms. Johnson, and I didn’t know she was your sister either!”
“You said Charlize wouldn’t even be able to get a job in Prosperity Enterprise, didn’t you? You sure talk
big, Ms. Lamer! Are you implying that my sister needs your permission to work at Prosperity
Enterprise?”
“I... No, that’s not what I meant! I just...”
Because Jacqueline had indeed insulted Charlize, she had nothing to say in her defense.
“I’m afraid our company is unable to tolerate such behavior, Ms. Lamer. I suggest you tender your
resignation to the HR department on Monday. Otherwise, I will help Charlize take action against you for
spreading those rumors about her back then!”
Jacqueline shuddered as she realized Charlize knew about what she had done back in university all
along.
So, Charlize has been making a fool out of me this whole time?
“I...”
Having held his position as a CEO for a very long time, Charles exuded an incredibly intimidating aura
even when he was outside of the office.
Jacqueline instinctively turned toward the others around her for help, but nobody dared help her at all.
Having spent over a year as working adults, they were no longer the naïve teenagers they used to be
while studying in university, and Prosperity Enterprise was a company that many of them wanted to get
into.
Since Charles was the CEO of Prosperity Enterprise, they didn’t dare offend him for fear of it affecting
their chances of joining the company.
Recalling that he was attending a social dinner, Charles shot Spencer a disdainful glare. “I can’t believe
you failed to protect her from something this minor! What kind of boyfriend are you?”
Charles then turned toward Charlize and continued, “Charlize, I know a lot of handsome and capable
young men. Would you like to get yourself a new boyfriend?”
“Charles!”
Of course, Charles knew Charlize would never accept such an offer. He had only said that to spite
Spencer.
“Honestly, I don’t even know what she sees in you,” Charles told Spencer and walked off.
Not wanting to stick around any longer, Spencer grabbed Charlize’s hand and got ready to leave as
well.
The two had only taken a few steps when Jacqueline ran up to them. “Charlize!”
“What more do you want?” Charlize asked.
Due to Jacqueline’s rude behavior, Charlize could never have a peaceful conversation with her. The
only reason Charlize did not do anything extreme was that she had a good upbringing.
“I apologize for what I did to you, both in the past and just now. Could you please tell Mr. Johnson not
to fire me?” Jacqueline pleaded with reddened eyes.
She was so scared of losing her job that she almost broke down in tears at that point.
Everyone around them began discussing among themselves. They couldn’t help but feel bad for
Jacqueline all of a sudden.
Although Charlize wasn’t a heartless woman, she most certainly was not a soft-hearted pushover.
“Would you be willing to make a public announcement about what you did to me in the past, then? Oh,
and I also want you to apologize publicly for it.”
Charlize’s request had Jacqueline completely stumped.
By making a public announcement and apology, she would have to admit to all the lies and rumors that
she had spread about Charlize. As if that wasn’t bad enough, she even had someone threaten Charlize
once.
Neither losing her job at Prosperity Enterprise nor admitting to her evil deeds was an acceptable option
for Jacqueline.
