Chapter 10 Called White Black

Renee rested for two or three days until her body was no longer weak. Zarek took her to the Johnston Group. At the entrance, Renee got out of the car and refused Zarek's company. "I'll go in alone." Zarek raised his eyebrows slightly, noncommittal. "Do you dislike me?" Renee twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Your face is too eye-catching." "Is being handsome a mistake?" Renee glared at him. She never realized he was so narcissistic. But Renee also knew what he was thinking, so she said, "Don't worry, I'll be out soon. There were so many people in the company. Nothing will happen to me." After Renee finished speaking, she walked towards the group. Zarek placed his hands in his pockets and leaned against the front of the Cayenne, watching Renee's back. Entering the lobby on the first floor, Renee carefully noticed that many familiar faces had disappeared. She walked towards the front desk. The receptionist stood up and looked at her in surprise as if she hadn't expected Renee to come to the group again. "Miss Renee?" Another man at the front desk sneered, "She is no longer the Miss of this group. Don't shout out loud. If Miss. Irina hears you, pray for not being fired." Seeing Renee arrive, people all around started gossiping. "I heard our former CEO died because of her. Dare she still come over?" "Oh, you're right. So disgusting, tsk, tsk." "I also heard Renee and her mother were both mistresses. Back then, her mother robbed Mrs. Johnston of her identity, and later Renee seduced her brother-in-law. Miss Irina and Mr. Grant have been deeply in love for many years, and Renee insists on interfering with them. How disgusting!" "Fortunately, Mr. Grant is not blind. He finally kicked Renee out. Her mother was also insane. Miss. Irina sent her to a mental hospital. You see. If someone has too many evil ideas, God will punish her." Now that these people didn't even respect Renee. They dared to argue about her when she was present. They even showed no intention of lowering their voices. Renee clenched her fists. Irina and Nevin must have spread rumors about her in the company! In just a few days, they dared to call white black and made her the so-called mistress! Renee temporarily put aside the sharp criticism around her as she had more important things to do. She said to the receptionist, "I want to see Brandon." "I'm sorry. Mr. White had resigned." "Impossible! He was my father's startup partner! Unless this company goes bankrupt, he will never leave here!" "It's true. I have no reason to cheat you." Renee looked at the helpless face of the receptionist. She didn't seem to be lying. It took Renee a long while to recover from the shock. Perhaps because of her father's death and Irina's selling the company to the Grant family, Brandon was extremely disappointed with the company, so he left. Renee quickly asked, "What about Luke Collins? He is also my father's startup partner. He is even a shareholder. He will never leave, right?" "He has also resigned." Renee felt incredulous. "When did he leave? Why did he leave?" "Eh..." The receptionist hesitated. The man nearby sneered, "The board change is our company's internal affairs. As an outsider, you're not qualified to know the company's internal information." Renee's eyes turned cold as she said, "This company is still named Johnston. I am still the daughter of the Johnston family. May I ask who you are? Where are your qualifications to block me?" Even if they didn't tell her this, Renee could guess that if the company veterans didn't leave, Irina couldn't transfer all the company's assets to the Grant family in such a short period! Being stared like this, the man inexplicably felt a chill. His face turned red, unable to refute. At the stalemate, a sudden commotion and sound of smashing came from the corridor entrance not far from the right. "Take your rubbish and get out of here quickly!" The person who was driven out tried to argue, "This is not rubbish. They are all engineering drawings I designed for the company before." "Whatever they are! If you don't get out of here, I'll ask the security guard to blow you out and set your rubbish on fire! Believe it or not!" That person arrogantly snatched the drawings from the man's hand and fiercely threw them. The drawings scattered and fell to the ground. During the argument, Renee faintly heard a familiar voice. She turned her head, only to see that the man, who was kneeling on the ground not far away and hastily picking up drawings, was the one who had been following her father for many years! At that moment, a meeting ended, and a group of people walked out of the office. Holding files or computers, they ignored the man who was picking drawings and stepped directly on those drawings. "Don't step on them! Please! Stop!" No one listened to him. They completely ignored him. Seeing this, Renee almost stopped breathing. She quickly stepped up. "Anthony!" "Renee!" Renee quickly picked up the drawings, organized them, and handed them to him. Anthony Morris held these messy drawings, his old eyes turning red and his wrinkled hands trembling. These drawings were all his years of hard work, but now they were thrown on the ground like waste paper. Others trampled on them casually, making dirty shoe marks on them. "Are you okay?" Renee looked at Anthony up and down. Anthony shook his head and sighed, "Everything changed here." Renee suppressed her anger and glanced sharply at the person who was just driving Anthony away. She recognized at a glance that he was Irina's secretary, Ryan Diaz. So, all of these were Irina's commands. "Why did you throw his things away? Anthony is the backbone of this company. He had great achievements and seniority here. Even his work experience is much more than Irina's! What qualifications does Irina have to drive him out?" As more and more people gathered to watch, Ryan sneered, "Who let this unrelated one in? Miss Irina is now managing our group. Do you have any rights to speak?" "You are just her barking lapdog. Even a dog could bark here, so why can't I come in? Irina has fired so many backbone members to consolidate her power. She will one day destroy the company!" Ryan's face quickly darkened. "What are you talking about?" Since Irina gained great power in the company, no one here dared to speak to him with such a terrible attitude. Renee laughed and said, "You are a lapdog as foolish as your master. Do you understand?" Ryan's eyes flashed with ferocity, and in anger, he raised his hand, intending to slap Renee. Renee was already on guard. She leaned aside to avoid his dirty hand.
