Getting My Ex-wife Back

Chapter 96 Back Her Up



“Ms. Murphy, this morning, Mr. Wyld from the Finance Department informed me that the Public Relations Department has been spending a lot of money lately and asked me to look into it properly. I’m just wondering what sort of expenses require such a huge amount of money,” Jenna’s expression was serious. On the very first day, she was approached by Mr. Wyld, the manager of the Finance Department, who wanted her to manage the Public Relations Department and avoid unnecessary expenditures.

A look of panic flashed in Minnie’s eyes, but she confidently said, “Ms. Murphy, these expenses were submitted by Ms. McAdams when she was here. This amount is not that big compared to what the Richards Group was earning. Richards Group is earning millions of dollars, yet you guys are being petty about such a small amount? Of course, if you don’t believe it, you can call Ms. McAdams and ask her. There are receipts for every expense, so you can go ahead and check them.”

Her voice was very loud and her face was indifferent. There was even contempt and disdain in her eyes.

Jenna frowned and looked at the summary report in her hand. She sneered in her heart. Was this even considered as a summary report? Not only was her work a mess, but even her several signatures were also all crooked and unreadable. How did she manage to get through university? Obviously, she was not serious about her studies. She probably didn’t study hard at all and just wanted to get a leg up. Her mentality was very dangerous for a woman who had no real talent.

She didn’t understand why Hansen wanted to hire her. Even though she was beautiful and he needed someone to help out with dinner dates, he shouldn’t have hired her as the manager. She was barely even qualified to be a PR person.

Jenna pointed to a piece of land on the outskirts of town and asked about the expenses, “The building for this land was already bid and it should be the client who relies on us. What’s the justification for spending 100, 000 dollars on public relations for it?”

This land was a piece of property owned by the Richards Group. Since there was already subway access, they wanted to build a small condominium and a shopping mall. Hansen had ordered the Marketing Department to organize an auction and had been prompted to select someone based on the results of the bidding. Moreover, it was a project wherein the developers should get on the company’s good side. Minnie had actually withdrawn 100, 000 dollars of PR fees this week. Moreover, Aria approved and signed off the expense.

When Aria was in charge of this matter, she didn’t have a hand in it. However, now that Jenna had taken over the department, she couldn’t leave it alone. If she was right, Minnie probably hadn’t figured out what the project was about and just thought it had something to do with the land, so she thought she could get some benefits out of it.

Judging from her current outfit, with her secretary’s salary, it would probably not be enough to meet her monthly expenses.

Ignorant and stupid.

She picked up the phone on the table and dialed, “This is Jenna. Is this the Finance Department? Would Mr. Wyld please come to my office now?”

Minnie did not expect that Jenna would actually investigate the matter and on her first day as the Vice President as well. Minnie began to tremble and her face turned pale.

She had already squandered all the money, but she didn’t expect that Jenna would check on her now. Her hands trembled for a moment and her arrogance was gone.

“Ms. Murphy, Aria was the one who signed off on this expense. It was the manager who asked for the kickback. I won’t admit it even if you find out,” Minnie panicked and stammered.

“Oh really? Then give me the manager’s number. The company already allowed him to bid at such a low price, yet he even wants a kickback from the company in private. I’d like to see if he still wants to take on this project or not?” Jenna’s eyes flickered with irritation and said coldly.

Minnie became even more flustered when she heard that. If they found out the truth, she would probably be kicked out of the Richards Group. It seemed that the b*tch was deliberately targeting her.

At this time, the other managers were still in the room. However, she could not care more and shouted angrily, “Jenna, you’re doing this on purpose. You’re just trying to embarrass me and bring me down. This thing happened when Ms. McAdams was around, and it has nothing to do with you. Now you want to investigate me just because we have an old score to settle. This is obviously disrespectful to me. You hate me. I’m going to tell Mr. Richards that you’re not worthy of being Vice President.”

At this point, she was still so reckless and bad-tempered. She was really childish.

Mr. Wyld came over quickly.

“Mr. Wyld, please tell Ms. Murphy about the bid for the land in the eastern part of the city and tell her if she still needs to give a commission to the developer for that land?” Jenna ignored Minnie’s rant and smiled politely at Mr. Wyld, who was walking in and asked lightly.

Commission? Was there such a thing? Mr. Wyld was stunned. He said hurriedly, “Ms. Murphy, this piece of land has already been auctioned last year. Mr. Chan kept pestering Ms. McAdams to let him win the construction right of this land at a low price. How could she possibly give him any commission? It’s already good enough that we did not ask him for a reevaluation.”

Mr. Wyld’s words made Minnie speechless. Her face was pale and she was exasperated as well.

Jenna now fully understood, and her heart was bitter. She recalled that as a girl, Minnie didn’t study hard in school, and when she entered society, she still thought of herself as self-righteous. She simply didn’t know the dangers of society at all.

Ever since Minnie became the Public Relations Manager, she had spent millions of dollars within the span of a few days!

If she was right, it was Aria who deliberately allowed her to get these benefits, so that she could trap her and blackmail her in future.

Aria had been in the company for several years. How could she have been unaware of such an obvious mistake? The fact that she would even agree to her nonsense was clearly purposeful.

However, Minnie, who was in front of her, didn’t understand what was going on and even thought that she was deliberately targeting her.

It’s important to know that such corruption and such an amount of money could land Minnie in jail if it was reported.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Jenna, you b*tch, what right do you have to investigate me? Don’t think that if you pester Mr. Richards, he will marry you again. Don’t dream about it. Mr. Richards doesn’t love you at all. He loves Aria. Now that you have the authority, the first person you investigate is me. You completely disregard your family. How despicable and shameless! Let me tell you, I won’t be afraid of you nor will I compromise,” she shouted. Obviously, now that this matter had been exposed, she could no longer live a rich life. She was ashamed and infuriated.

In front of so many other managers, Minnie blatantly scolded and humiliated her. Jenna was so angry that her face flushed red and she felt dizzy. She was sad that she had such a sister.

“Minnie, keep your ignorance and vulgarity in check. Today, you not only cling to your mistake, but you refuse to change and even humiliate me in public. Well, I’ll let everyone see your ugly side. Don’t think it’s easy to pick on me,” Jenna’s face was pale, but she calmed down. She glared at her, and said coldly.

Jenna was calm, persistent and steady, and her awe-inspiring aura could not be underestimated.

Minnie was frightened. She looked at the managers standing around her. They were expressionless and ignored her. She knew that these people were all newly appointed by Jenna and they were obviously on her side. She was clearly the underdog.

However, she didn’t intend to admit defeat. After all, she was appointed by Hansen.

“It seems that you are deliberately targeting me and just want to get back at me. B*tch, let me tell you this, I will not go easy on you,” Minnie hated Jenna and cursed her, her voice getting louder and louder.

Jenna held the report in her hands and her face darkened. Just as she was about to lose her temper, she heard a shout.

“How dare you!”

Everyone turned around and saw Hansen standing at the door. He looked very serious with his eyes burning with rage.

“Mr. Richards,” Minnie’s eyes lit up when she saw Hansen walking in. She thought that she finally had someone to back her up because after all, she had been appointed by Hansen. Thus, he definitely would not ignore her and allow Jenna to stomp on her, “Mr. Richards, this b*tch doesn’t deserve to be the Vice President of the company. The moment she was appointed, she appointed new managers. She also wants to find faults with me and deliberately check on my accounts. Mr. Richards, you have to call the shots here!”

Minnie walked up as she spoke. Her eyes were filled with tears and grievances.

She did not even see the coldness in Hansen’s eyes.

“Is that so?” Hansen’s eyes flashed with coldness again and he asked menacingly.

Minnie stood rooted to the spot.

She initially wanted to get close to him and let him call the shots, but she was shocked by his eerie aura. His face was cold, and his eyes mirrored his expression. She could feel an aura of fury emitting from his entire body that rejected her.

Minnie no longer dared to approach him. She just stood there in a daze and timidly looked at the inscrutable man in front of her.

“I heard someone cursing from my office just now. This is terrible. If this gets out, won’t the Richards Group be a laughing stock? Is the quality of my staff in the Richards Group really that bad?” Hansen, whose tone was quite stern, walked in calmly, glanced at everyone who was standing, and finally, he laid his eyes on Minnie.

“Mr. Richards, I…” Minnie trembled inside. She took a few steps back and went weak in the knees.

“Who was cursing in here just now? Come forward yourself,” Hansen glanced at Jenna’s face, which was flushed with anger. He slowly walked to the couch and sat down. Then he knocked on the back of the chair and said coldly.

The room remained silent.

Jenna sneered. She said coldly, “Mr. Richards, there are always some people who don’t know their place. They don’t care about the reputation or the interests of the company and do illegal things. They won’t repent until they die. I never thought that Mr. Richards, who is always kind and good at judging people, would also make mistakes.”

Jenna beat around the bush and made a sarcastic remark, which made Hansen feel uncomfortable.

This d*mned woman was so angry that she even dared to scold him. Hansen secretly sighed but he had to admit that he did not thoroughly and rationally think through it when he appointed Minnie as the Public Relations Manager. He just wanted to use her and get her to let the cat out of the bag. Wasn’t he doing this for Jenna?

He thought, “Today, you ridicule Minnie in front of so many people which also put me in an awkward position. You b*tch, I’ll teach you a lesson when I go home tonight. How dare you taunt me!”
