Chapter 12 Gavin Has Announced His Marriage With Stacey
Valarie winked at Roger.
Roger knew what she meant and walked over to open the door.
“Ms. Dodson! Ms. Dodson!”
Gerold Gates, who caused himself trouble yesterday, barged in. He was so fast that Roger didn’t get to stop him at all.
Valarie’s eyes turned cold as she watched Gerold pounce at her desk.
“Mr. Gates, why are you still here? I’ve already approved your resignation. You may go ahead and find another job.”
“Ms. Dodson, you can’t do this to me! I’ve worked for the hotel for almost 20 years!
“I’ve worked my ass off for the hotel, and I’m dragged down by all kinds of diseases. Even Mr. Dodson couldn’t do anything to me. How could you fire me just like that? ” Gerold was sweating, blushing, and screaming.
“I have seen all the files of the hotel’s higher–ups, and you’re right. You are troubled with diseases indeed. You have fatty liver and gallbladder polyps. Looks like working here has profited you a lot,” Valarie smiled coldly, making Gerold shudder.
Noticing the sarcasm, Gerold trembled with fear. “I swear that I didn’t know Ellie Home has been selling shoddy bedding to us. In the past three years, Ellie Home has been cooperating with us and offering us good deals. Also, it’s a famous brand in Polyergic City. So, I…”
Before he could finish, he heard some sound.
Valarie raised her hand and tossed a file next to Gerold’s feet.
“This is a breakdown of all the hotel’s transactions with Ellie Home over the past three years. You oversee the finance department, and you can’t tell how flawed this financial report is??”
Terrified, Gerold picked up the papers and flipped through them, feeling that they were nothing but hot potatoes.
“And I received an anonymous tip.”
Valarie picked up the coffee cup and took a leisurely sip, her beautiful eyes shining cold. “Someone reported you, saying that you had close ties with Ellie Home and made huge rebates from it, so you agreed to our hotel to buy the inferior bed products of that company in bulk.”
Gerold’s teeth chattered, and he could hardly stand.
“If I’m without proof, I certainly won’t fire anyone for no reason. Yet if I do, I won’t spare anyone. If you have any further objections, Mr. Gates, we can take it to the court.”
“Ms. Dodson, I was wrong! I wasn’t thinking straight! Please… Just spare me! If words get out, I won’t be able to have a foothold in Polyergic City!”
Gerold was frightened, and he almost wanted to kneel. “Ellie Home reached out to me, offering me a way to make money! It was all Mr. Hull’s idea!
“I figured that all beddings were more or less the same, so I didn’t think too much. I was tricked by him!”
Valarie was almost laughing.
*though, Yeld, youve been a VP in the hotel busmess for 20 scars, and we sure playing danh just to save your ass
Tesigh Mr. Gates, you know better than anyone what exactly huppened. Instead of hollshitting with me here, you’d better go and send cant more resumes Roger, see him off”
back
Gerold looked dejected and was invited out by Roger in not exactly a polite way
Walking out of the office, Gerold dropped the act. His expression changed, and he spat on the ground
“This isn’t over, you bitch!”
Though Valarie was the forgiving type, she was still furious about Gerold’s corrupted behavior
“It seems that Gerold is notorious here. As soon as you wanted to deal with him, someone reported him right away!” Roger was so excited. It looked like he had gotten his revenge.
“There was no such person.”
“What? Were you … tricking him?”
“Yes.”
Valarie nodded and was about to play some game to vent her anger. “If one can keep their conscience clear, then they will not fear anything. Yet he confessed before I used any means.”
Roger couldn’t help but applaud Valarie, as she was so good at reading people. “Gerold has been working with Ellie Home for three years. It seems that he has skimmed a lot. We should sue his ass and ask him to get everything back!”
won’t come bus if I do, ma be the rest of the hotel’s top brass will www
ages and backtab me. Besides, Dad promoted Gerold. I don’t want to embarras Dad
While playing the game. Valarie said lazily. “Keep an eye on Gerold these days. If he makes further contact with Stacey’s brother, let me know right away
“Sure thing, Ms. Dodson*
Suddenly, Valane’s phone rang non–stop A certain chat group was in an uprost
“I’m busy, Roger Check the messages out for me.” Valarie concentrated on the game
Roger came over at once and picked up the phone. “It’s a group chat named ‘Secret Service‘. Your brothers texted you.”
Collin started the group chat, and the group members were Valarie and her four brothers. The reason why it was called “Secret Service” was that the marriage between Valarie and Gavin was to be kept a secret.
Valarie was stunned. She ignored the game and grabbed the phone.
After all, Roger had no idea that she got married and then divorced. The fewer people knew about it, the better. Things would get tricky once Vinson knew about it.
Collin texted: “Fuck! I can’t bear it anymore! What is Gavin doing? He has gone too far!”
Steve White, her third brother, texted: “I’ll check whether the Sheppard Group has any black history. I’ll try to bankrupt the company within a month.”
Odell texted: “I’ll disable Gavin within a week.”
* around What the heck happened?”
A few seconds later. Collin posted a Twitter link.
Then be tested “The perk, has announced his marriage with Stacey And there’s mine. Some marketing accounts claim that you are the thund wheel and that you pushed Stacey out of the picture. They claim that you snatched the jerk away from Stacey and forced him to accept you, and you were the chief culprit of why they got separated.”
Odell tested “Seriously? I’ll make them separated for good.”
Jason texted “Odell, do not fret for the wicked, nor be jealous of those who do wrong, for they will soon be cut down like the grass, and wither away like the green vegetable.
“Stop your anger and forsake wrath. Do not fret so that you will do evil as well ”
Collin texted: “Stop, Jason. You’re getting to us.”
Odell texted: “Valarie, I’ll delete all the bad news about you within half an hour as well as the trending topic about Gavin’s remarriage.”
Valarie texted: “Wait, Odell.
“Let the thing ferment.”
Collin sent an emoji, expressing his doubt.
Valarie texted: “It has nothing to do with me. Megan is Gavin’s ex- wife, and I am Valarie, the daughter of the Dodson family.”
Collin texted: “That’s right! You have never been seen in public with Gavin in three years, and no outsiders have ever seen you. Of course,
e unlikely to be searched. It won’t affect you at all!”
Valane texted: “Yet some stupid woman is going to get a headache.”
She smiled coldly
She thought, “Gavin, you want your beloved, and I might as well give you that
“Yet now that your beloved wants to doom me, then don’t blame me for dipping her grave for her.”
***
The Sheppard Group was caught off guard because of the sudden announcement of Gavin’s remarriage.
Those from the PR Department and Derek’s phones had been ringing non–stop. The media wouldn’t stop calling them, and the news sensationalized Polyergic City and even the whole country.
First of all, Gavin was getting married.
Secondly, it was the second time he got married.
His first marriage ended before anyone knew.
His marriage was like a painless induced abortion!
“Polyergic City Daily‘ posted the news the earliest. I heard that it was Ms. Hull who personally came to the editor, and then the news
spread.”
Derek stared at the phone without blinking. “Now it has over a million retweets, and the number one trending topic is ‘Who is Gavin’s ex- wife‘. Mrs. Sheppard has been scolded by everyone…”
“Make them disappear Gun’s handsome face was as cold as ice, and
* eyes were dark
Polycrgic City Daily was controlled by the Sheppard Group, and it was in fact their tongue in Polyergic City
“Who is it that you’re poing after?
“Everyone who has been involved in the news”
“Alright. Yet what about the online public opinion? I’m afraid it’s out of control
Derek was worried “I wonder what Mrs. Sheppard will think when she sees this She must be so upset.
Gavin’s eyes darkened as he picked up his phone and was about to call Jason
He thought, “Fuck! I’m getting used to calling him. Those who don’t know might think that I have a crush on Jason.”
While he was hesitating, Stacey called him.
Gavin frowned, feeling complex
