Chapter 699 Anything Else

Aidan said, "Aw, calm down, Mr. Frost. We're just catching up. This isn't an incriminating session."

"I-I wasn't nervous. Y-You led me…"

Justin's assistant had led Daphne's assistant back to the room. Shocked by what she saw, the assistant said, "M-Mr.

Pearson…"

She then looked at Justin and wondered what she should call him, and she opened her mouth, but no sound came

out. Justin didn't get angry, and he warmly asked, "Where did you go?"

The assistant said, "I-I got a call saying that I was needed for the celebration, so I went."

"Anyone else went with you?"

"Every artiste assistant came with me."

Justin turned around. "Did something of the sort happen?"

His assistant said, "No, sir. No news about the celebration being in trouble. Jonathan's the one handling this. I'll

summon him."

Jonathan had been handling the celebration. The moment he got the news, he came over, and said, "The

celebration's going fine. No trouble at all."

Daphne's assistant dumbly said, "But we've been waiting forever."

"And who told you guys to go?"

"T-The admin department's deputy manager." We wouldn't have waited otherwise.

Jonathan tried to call the admin department's deputy manager, but his phone was turned off.

Theodore said, "This is your internal problem. You won't blame this on me, will you?"

Daphne coldly said, "He wouldn't have told my assistant to leave if you hadn't bribed him."

Theodore looked at Justin. "Now you see how she slanders me, Mr. Pearson. I'm not stupid enough to bribe a deputy

manager."

Justin was silent for a while, then he said, "I don't think we can reach the guy. Why don't we let this slide for now? I

promise you I'll make it up once investigations are clear."

Daphne pursed her lips. She knew what Justin was trying to say. The celebration was important, and he didn't want

her to make things too serious, but just seeing scum like Theodore walking around disgusted her. The moment they

left this room, he would harass her to no end. Daphne wasn't scared of him, but she was worried he might hurt

Louis.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "No. I'm calling the cops. This isn't the first time he's harassed me.

He's appeared outside my house and conducted himself indecently a few times. The guards can attest to that."

Justin said nothing. He was weighing his options, while Theodore remained unfazed. The guards' testimony was

nothing to him. All he had to do was use his connections, and this whole thing would become a scandal. The cops

wouldn't care about this at all.

He said, "Sure, call the cops. I…"

Something outside the door fell with a sickening thud, and the screams of a man rang across the air. Everyone

looked at the entrance and saw a man lying outside the door, backing off as he held his bruised face.

Lachlan showed up a moment later, and Jonathan looked at the man on the ground. "Hello, Mr. Dumpster."

The look on Theodore's face changed. He was absolutely miffed.

Mr. Dumpster struggled for a while, but he couldn't get up, so he crawled over to Aidan, his eyes filled with fear.

"Mr. Pearson, I-I didn't mean to. I said no, I did, but he threatened me. Said he would be the company's partner

soon, so if I didn't do as he asked me to, he would make them fire me. Please, please have mercy on me."

Back when Aidan was around, no one in the company would try to do anything like this. Ever since Aidan left, things

looked the same from the outside, but everyone eased up a lot more without Aidan around. Besides, Justin was a

soft-spoken man.

The reason this man relented was that he thought he could slip this by Justin without a hitch, and he wanted to

make something on the side. When he realized he messed up, he tried to run, but someone grabbed him before he

could, and he was dragged all the way back.

Aidan was inscrutable. "You know I am not the president anymore." Mr. Dumpster quickly looked at Justin. "Please,

Young Master Justin. Please give me a second chance."

Justin sighed. "Anything else you want to say, Mr. Frost?"

Leanna said, "Whoa, Mr. Frost. You're not going to say this guy worked with Daphne to slander you, are you?"

Before Theodore could say anything, Mr. Dumpster said, "I have proof! He paid me this morning. With another

account, but you can find that it's him if you check his transactions. And I recorded all my calls with him."

Theodore tried to say something, but nothing came out.

Justin said, "Mr. Frost, I believe I see no need to work with your company now." He looked at Daphne. "With Mr.

Dumpster's proof, you can make a case. We have your back. Once the celebration's over, we'll lodge a report. I'll go

with you."

Oh, he's de-escalating things. Well, since he'll deal with this with me, I should step back as well. I am still working for

him, after all. She nodded. "Sure."

Justin looked at the time and told everyone, "The celebration's going to begin soon. Let's go."

Theodore stepped ahead, "Mr…"

Justin didn't look at him, but he said, "You should know how important the celebration is to the company, Mr. Frost."

Theodore stepped back and gritted his teeth. Once Justin was gone, Aidan looked at Jonathan, and he nodded.

Daphne's assistant found her heels back for her, and everyone left the dressing room, leaving only Jonathan,

Theodore, and Mr. Dumpster behind.

Mr. Dumpster gave Jonathan a look of plea. "Mr. Stoll, you have to help me…"

Jonathan said, "You know how Mr. Pearson is. I can't, I'm sorry."

"B-But, Mr. Justin's the one handling things, and Mr. Aidan said he's no longer the president, so…"

Jonathan said nothing, but he looked at Theodore. "And that's what you thought, wasn't it, Mr. Frost?"
