Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 318 - 176: Leave Professional Matters to the Professionals (First Update)

The secretary hurriedly said, "I’ll go take a look."She turned towards the technical department and saw that all the rooms were empty, including Thomas’s office.

She hurried back to report, "No, Thomas isn’t over there."

"What the hell!" the CEO of Victory Wise was on the verge of going crazy, "Where could he have gone at a time like this?!"

He looked up Thomas’s phone number and started calling him.

He dialed again and again, nearly ten times before Thomas’s phone was finally answered.

Thomas’s cheerful voice came through, "Oh? It’s our CEO, what’s up that you called me?"

The CEO of Victory Wise said nervously, "Mr. Stewart, I just received a call saying that our Technical Director, Joyce Shaw, has just died in a car accident!"

"Ah?! What?! No way! My God! How could this happen?! I don’t believe it! I can’t believe it! He was such a good employee! — This is a loss for our company! A huge loss! Oh my, God! Can we even find such a good employee to replace him?!"

Thomas’s slightly exaggerated shouting seemed both surprised and regretful.

The CEO of Victory Wise frowned and asked again, "And what about Harrison Saunders and Mary Palmer? Where are the two of them?"

"Where are they? They aren’t in the office?" Thomas’s bewildered voice came through, then said, "Oh dear! Is Joyce’s computer still accessible now? The project I assigned to him seems unfinished!"

The CEO of Victory Wise, no longer able to bear it, said, "You go ahead, I’ll make a call to headquarters."

Only then did Thomas tone down his exaggeration, calmly saying, "Why call headquarters? Joyce, Harrison Saunders, and Mary Palmer aren’t people from headquarters, they’re with our Victory Wise Corporation. Mr. CEO, don’t you even have authority over your own company’s Personnel?"

The CEO of Victory Wise said coldly, "A matter of life and death, I must report to headquarters. Mr. Stewart, don’t forget, our Victory Wise is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Spencer Group, do you understand the legal implications of a wholly-owned subsidiary?"

"Hahaha... I’m neither a law student nor a business student, how would I know what a wholly-owned subsidiary is?" Thomas said with a slight smile, "Fine, I need to hurry and open up Joyce’s computer and finish the project he didn’t complete. In a week, we’re set to announce the acquisition list, can’t delay anymore."

After Thomas finished speaking, he hung up the phone, no longer paying attention to the CEO of Victory Wise.

At this moment, Kenneth Osborne had already called the local police station again, where Joyce had reported earlier, requesting a thorough investigation. He said someone was attempting murder, and now that person is dead, the police must open a case for investigation.

The local police had already received the order, just short of a "prompt" from the family.

So as Thomas was remotely logging into Joyce’s office computer, the local police came to Victory Wise Corporation on the grounds of investigating a case, taking away all the computers from the technical department and Joyce’s office.

As they left, they even sealed the entrance of Victory Wise Corporation.

The few employees of Victory Wise Corporation, including the CEO, were all ushered out.

The floor where Victory Wise Corporation is located is actually the public relations headquarters of the Spencer Group in the North.

When the police rushed in to seal off Victory Wise Corporation, the PR director at the top floor got the news and hurried down, putting on a smile and asked the leading officer, "Excuse me, Officer, what’s going on here? Victory Wise Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Spencer Group, may I ask what mistake they’ve made that you need to seal off the entire floor?"

The leading officer adjusted his police camera footage and said seriously to the director, "We received a report stating two employees of Victory Wise Corporation are suspected of attempting to murder another employee of the same company. The employee who was chased is now deceased, and this case has elevated to a major criminal case. We must seal off the scene and wait for our criminal investigation team to come and examine the site personally."

The PR director of the Spencer Group shivered.

He was mentally prepared for typical commercial disputes, and could handle them to some extent, but a criminal case...

He truly had no way to intervene!

The director immediately turned back upstairs to report this situation to headquarters.

Meanwhile, the CEO of Victory Wise had already reached out to Justus Spencer, the CEO of the Spencer Group, on the phone.

He said nervously, "Mr. Spencer, things have gone awry. The police just sealed off Victory Wise Corporation, and our company’s Director Shaw just passed away, it’s being said he was killed by two of our own employees!"
