Chapter 147
Dan wanted to stop Lucas but couldn’t make it in time
“Why did the company spend my resources on Bryce? Who does he think he is? He’s worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as me?
Loras was furious. Over the past few years, he had always received the best offers from Scott Media, but now, these resources were given to a recent college graduate who hadn’t even debuted yet.
Maeve leaned back in her chair and asked, “You want to know why?
“Yes!” Lucas exclaimed angrily “Did Bryce pay you off? Or maybe you’re his pimp…”
Maeve slammed the documents in her hand onto the table with force.
Lucas was shaken by this action.
He thought Maeve was just a meek woman who wasn’t involved in the entertainment industry, making her an easy target. But at this moment, Maeve’s eyes were filled with fury,
Maeve said coldly, “Lucas, you’re just an artist under the company. Watch your words!”
Unconvinced, Lucas continued relentlessly, “I’m the biggest star in this company! The company’s annual performance relies solely on me. You’ve just taken office; why are you giving my resources to someone else?”
Dan, seeing Maeve’s expression, started sweating coldly,
Maeve sneered, “Your resources? The company provided all your resources! You’re the hottest? Take a look around; you’re barely a small–time celebrity. You say the company’s annual performance relies solely on you, so why don’t you take a look at this ledger?”
Marwo threw the ledger in her hand in front of Lucas.
Lucas’s face fell, and even Dan looked uncomfortable.
Maeve continued calmly, “You splurged all the income received by every artist in the company to one person. Dan Hall, you’re really audacious.
“Ms. Scott, let me explain.”
Dan trembled with fear. He had done this in the past for the sake of Scott Group. Otherwise, the company would’ve closed down years ago. But, he had tampered with the accounts. How could Maeve still see through it?
Maeve looked at Dan coldly. He was desperately trying to come up with an excuse but couldn’t.
nd use the money for personal use. As long
Every company would have an executive involved in financial fraud. They would alter the accounts and nobody exposes them, there won’t be any consequences when the money is repaid later.
But Dan and Lucas hadn’t filled in the blanks in the books for three consecutive years, even though she had hinted at it since taking office. They thought they wouldn’t get caught.
Dan probably thought she was just an omament for show. It was too bad she could easily see through the modified accounts.
“Mr. Hall, I’ll give you two options.”
“Ms. Scott”
“The first option is to be dismissed.”
Mr. Hall’s face turned pale.
“The second option is to resign voluntarily.”
Maeve smiled and added, “You choose one.”
Dan swallowed hard, his legs trembling. He had worked at Scott Media for over ten years, but now he was dismissed.
Maeve showed no mercy. Such parasites had to be removed.
“I choose to resign voluntarily ”
Dan cried, tears and snot streaming down his face.
Maeve replied lightly, “Then you may leave.”
With Dan taken care of, Marve turned to Lucas
“I’ll give you two options as well.”
Since Dan had just bren disksed, Lucas frir a chill down his back.
