“What photo?” Darrin asked Rose. “Why did you delete it, was it a mistake or intentional?”
Rose lowered her eyes and looked at the clean floor of the finance department.
“It was intentional,” she replied.
Claire let out a big sigh of relief.
See, she knew that Rose did it on purpose!
Is it so easy to find a sense of existence for a newcomer who has just entered the threshold, running in front of her to show off her knowledge of some obscure subjects?
She wanted to see how Darrin would continue to make excuses!
After Darrin became the editor-in-chief of Flourish Media, he was always known for his fair and just handling of matters, to the extent that even Ab bie couldn’t get anything good from him.
Is he now going to ruin the image he has worked so hard to build for Rose?
Wasn’t he afraid of chilling the hearts of the employees below?
“In fact, Rose’s error rate is almost zero in normal times, and deleting pictures is also within the error rate, so according to the regulations, no money will be deducted,” Lily said, trying to appease the situation in the midst of silence.
Is the error rate the focus?
Chapter 67 This woman
The focus is intentionally deleted!
Intentional, with a malicious nature.
If Rose didn’t have a reasonable excuse, but Darrin still defended her, then everyone could only say they were unlucky.
Flourish Media has encountered such a foolish heir, and the future is feared to be uncertain.
But now, no one would touch Darrin’s bad luck.
Everyone remained silent… but, in reality, they were all waiting for Darrin’s decision.
“Rose, explain,” Darrin’s emotionless voice sounded impartial, without any intention of favoritism.
Rose nodded, “First of all, I have to admit that I overstepped my authority. It was my first time proofreading, and I shouldn’t have been responsible for the potential risks of an entire manuscript. Secondly, I should have informed Claire and her editor after the corrections. But… I do have a lot of manuscripts to proofread and I also need to…”
“What potential risks are there?” Darrin interrupted her.
Rose lifted her eyes.
“That photo, it was of the deceased…” Rose also didn’t understand why her throat would suddenly tighten. Clearly, she could face Ab bie’s mockery about her parents calmly…
Why is it so difficult when it’s my turn to say it out loud?
Rose took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and then she smiled.
“It is a photo of the deceased founders of Autao Finance, taken the
week before they passed away.”
Darrin’s pupils… cracked open.
He looked at Rose in front of him.
She was smiling, with a pair of watery eyes filled with shattered light, like the past that he could never hold onto, like the attachment he lost in her gaze.
He couldn’t speak.
In the past, there was the sound of waves crashing against the cliffs in my ears.
The chest cavity was submerged in seawater.

“Rose…” he uttered, his voice drifting.
The people in the finance department were all startled.
What happened to Darrin?
What… What happened?
Rose smiled until the corners of her mouth stiffened, then suddenly lowered her head and forcefully held back her tears.
“I didn’t have the authority to alter the content of the manuscript, but I thought that deleting this photo could at least reduce some risk for Flourish Media. I was afraid that the Roawards Group might come knocking on our door later, and it wouldn’t look good.”
Her voice was very low, so low that it gave people a sense of insignificance.
Rose’s explanation, the people in the finance department didn’t believe it, at least Claire didn’t believe it.
Claire realized that she had found Rose’s weakness and she didn’t care about Darrin anymore. “The feud between Autao Finance and the Roawards Group has been going on for over a decade. How could the Roawards Group just show up at our door because of a photo? Flourish Media is not afraid of trouble either…”
She deliberately raised her voice a little, “Before, Judson accused us of spreading rumors about his love affair, and didn’t we handle it?”
Could it be that an old photograph is more important than the reputation of the Roawards Group’s former owner?
Darrin was willing to fight against Judson’s lawsuit for Rose and considered the small protest from the Roawards Group as no big challenge for the PR department to handle.
Claire gambled that Ab bie would appreciate her after this matter.
Regardless, she had already made a name for herself with Darrin. If she couldn’t secure any other connections, she would no longer be able to thrive at Flourish Media.
Darrin’s complexion could no longer be described as unattractive.
The storm brewed in his eyes for the first time.
“Since you wrote about Autao Finance, you should be familiar with the history of Autao Finance, right?”
Claire was startled.
Darrin spoke kindly to her, but instead, she became a little scared… No, she wasn’t scared of talking to Darrin, she was afraid of his terrifying expression at that moment
That expression, as if she had committed some unforgivable crime, was like they were going to tie her to the gallows.
Darrin continued to ask, his voice as cold as a hidden knife in the winter snow, “The Finance Department of Flourish Media has never written about Autao Finance, do you know why?”
Claire wanted to shake her head, but her neck was stiff.
“Ask your supervisor why!” Darrin almost shouted, “Who was the Finance Department of Flourish Media created with?”
He punched the frosted glass outside the office.
A loud bang.
Everyone trembled in response.
The glass cracked open like a spider web in an instant, and blood oozed from Darrin’s hand.
Rose was frightened as she watched.
It was an old wound from before.

It was the injury he sustained on his hand when he broke open the cabinet in her rented house last time… Some of the wounds were deep, and his hand was constantly moving, so it healed slowly. Now, it has finally recovered about eighty percent, but it has split open again.
Ab bie lifted her head, shocked by Darrin’s anger, and stunned by the injury on his hand, while also feeling a bit confused.
Who did the finance department create with?
Darrin turned around and saw her looking puzzled. He sneered, “Well, your father also joined Flourish Media later. What’s the connection between the finance department and your family?”
The predecessors planted trees, and the later generations enjoyed the shade, even carving their own names on the tree trunk.
In the past, when the predecessors arrived, they had to beg and pay money in order to be given a small patch of shade.
Ab bie, taking over someone else’s territory, was strutting around shamelessly, completely lacking any sense of decency.
“Mr. Carroll,” the legal department knocked on the door of the finance department and leaned in, “I just tried to reach you on the work phone, but you didn’t respond…”
So she came here.
“We have just received a warning from the Roawards Group, stating that our finance department employees have colluded with an insider in their group to steal private pictures of the Roawards Group. They have requested us to take immediate action to prevent the leakage of the pictures and to impose severe punishment on the employees.”

The thunder startled the flat ground.
Claire’s face turned pale.
The rest of the finance department was stunned and speechless.
The Roawards Group came knocking on the door!
The Roawards Group really came knocking on the door with great momentum because of a photo, demanding an explanation from Flourish Media.
Legal continued, “The Roawards Group has already issued a notice, dismissing the senior executives responsible for leaking the photos and holding them legally accountable. As for our side…”
Darrin turned around and looked at Ab bie, coldly saying, “I’ll leave this matter to you. Can you handle it well in coordination with the legal department?”
Ab bie nodded blankly.
There was no need to stay here anymore.
Darrin couldn’t explain anything anymore. He knew that every time he said something, it would only add another wound to Rose’s heart.
His phone was ringing.
Darrin glanced and didn’t greet anyone, he walked straight out.
Rose hesitated for a moment, then immediately disregarded the gazes of the crowd and chased after him…
