Chapter 216 Don't Play Scoundrel with Him
"Jane Cooper called me over, saying that it was just a proof. She advised me not to pursue the matter of the leaked photos. I would have wanted to let you guys off the hook, so you are here waiting to set me up."
The voice is full of mockery and disdain. Edward gave a glance at Sofia. Then he took out his cell phone and made a call.
Sofia's heart suddenly lifted. She wanted to say something. She heard Edward say, "Call the lawyer team to prepare, I want to sue Forward Education and their company director for deliberately false accusations."
Hearing these words, Sofia was no longer able to sit down, and said, "Mr. Smith, I am not..."
Fighting reputation cases with the rich people, nine out of ten losses. Let alone Edward. If really pissed him off, how will she have good consequences?
Edward hung up the phone, got up and said, "You talk to my lawyer."
Sofia explained, Edward did not take a look at her, Charles had to speak out, "Mr. Smith, you first take it easy. Things are not at all to this point."
Edward also ignored him, walking away from the sofa near with a few more steps out of the door. Jane called out, "Mr. Smith."
Edward stopped in the footsteps. Sofia breathed cautiously. At this moment, she truly hoped Jane can hold Edward.
Jane said, "Don't be angry, Miss Moore did not mean it."
Edward said, "Then what does she mean?"
Sofia hurriedly said, "Maybe there was a problem with my expression just now, which caused you to misunderstand."
Edward said aggressively, "I am giving you a chance, think clearly before you say."
Charles looked at Sofia, giving her a wink. Sofia understood what did he mean. It's not worthy of pulling the whole Forward Education down for Jane. Not to mention the annual meeting soon, if S City had any big problem, the headquarters will certainly be strictly investigated thoroughly. Then what causes, and who have problems during the communication, all can not hide.
Briefly weighing the pros and cons, Sofia said with a pale face, "Since Mr. Smith came forward to testify, no one will suspect your credibility."
Edward's face was not happy, but said, "Do not force, I did not force you to believe."
Sofia forced a smile, "I believe."
Edward heard the words, only then walked back to the sofa, re-seated.
Sofia's cold sweat was coming down. Charles said some good words to placate, wanting to make a big deal out of it.
Edward did not take this and sarcastically said, "Your company is really interesting. When things happened, you do not protect the privacy and security of clients and staff, but let the staff find evidence to prove their 'innocent'.What is her crime? Who convicted her?"
Charles nodded to make amends. Sofia was completely afraid to look at Edward. How Edward will let her go. He stared at her and said, "You convicted?"
Sofia's heart thudded, and instinctively shook her head, "No."
Edward said, "Better not. As a manager, if even this thing can not do, your boss hired you can only show that he is short-sighted."
The words fell, and Sofia's face turned red instantly visible to the eye.
From childhood to adulthood, she has always been excellent. Everyone brags her. Nobody ever humiliated her in such a way in front of her.
Edward glanced at the left side of Jane's reaction with the remaining light, seeing her eyes slightly drooping. He could not see the color of the eyes.
Charles said, "This matter is indeed we did not handle it properly, I hope Mr. Smith gives us some time, we will give you a satisfactory answer."
Edward said, "If you knew how to make customers happy, I wouldn't be here today. If it wasn't for the fact that my kids were taught well by Jane, I would have a hundred ways to make people believe that what happened in the photo was just a misunderstanding. Otherwise, why do I sit here and chew the fat with you?"
Fearing that Sofia would not understand, Edward looked at her and said, "A few photos can give a person a private virtue deficit, if I force you to take a group of more excessive, Forward Education will not let you go down in the whole sector?"
Sofia's two hands unconsciously clenched into fists. She quickly raised his eyes to look at Edward. But she saw Edward's gaze deep serious. He was not joking, he can do what he said.
Her face previously was red, now turned pale. Sofia moved her lips, but could not make a sound.
Jane knows Edward was ruthlessly, but openly threaten intimidation, only he can do it.
Charles did not like Sofia. But he wouldn't stand by and watch her being threatened with sarcasm. He said, "We will try to make up for the trouble caused to you, and we will do our best to compensate for any requests from your side."
Edward leaned on the sofa, and said nonchalantly, "I reserve the right to pursue the rumour mongers and spreaders. After today, if there are any more pandemonium words from you, we will see you in court at any time."
Charles nodded in response, originally thinking that the matter has come to this. It was over. But nobody expected that Edward said sarcastically, "You open an educational institution, not a female moral class. Private life indiscretion and normal privacy will not be indistinguishable, right? Do not say that the photo is just a misunderstanding. Even if it is true, do you need to make a fuss and spread it? Have you never seen a man and a woman in love?"
"Who told you that men and women can only hide inside the home to make out? I can be where I want to be, no one cares."
After saying that, he stood up, and left three dumbfounded faces.
Sofia was frightened. Charles was the first time to see such an arrogant person. As for Jane, she did not know why. Suddenly a hot stream of heat rushed up inside. There was no need to ask. It must have a red face.
Edward was about to leave. The three on the sofa had a slow reaction and got up to send him. Edward said, "Save your time to send me. Use your time to improve the overall quality of your company staff."
Sofia fixed in place, her face turned white.
Jane gave a wink to Charles and said, "I will go to send Mr. Smith."
The door of the meeting room opened. Edward walked in front, while Jane walked behind. On the way, they met the crowds' sneaking gazes.
When they arrived at the elevator, Jane pressed the button and spoke, "Mr. Smith, thank you so much for today."
She lowered her voice slightly and said, "Fortunately, you came up with the idea of fighting the lawsuit. It's so witty."
Edward heard the words, and tilted his head, expressionless saying, "You think I'm joking?"
Jane slightly paused, didn't him? She thought he was just scaring Sofia a little.
Edward said, "Look at what kind of bosses you are following."
The elevator came up at the right moment. Edward took a step into the elevator, so Jane couldn't say much but only bowed to the elevator to thank him for his help today.
The elevator door closed, and Jane was tasting his words. Edward just now, was talking about Sofia and Charles? Just them, right?
