Chapter 400 Weed Out
The wide hallway started to be packed with people, who could not stay away from getting firsthand
gossip.
Most of them spoke out against Leah while only a handful shared opposing views.
“Just to put a point out there. I think Ms. White is not a bad boss. She has kept up with business
networking from day one, and she has expressed concern about the employee salary.”
“That’s right. I heard from HR this morning that the company policies on base salary and perks have
been revised. Apparently, Ms. White requested Mr. Hendrick for the change.”
“This is between Ms. White and the management team. As employees, we should just keep our mouths
shut.”
Leah was surprised and moved that there were people standing up for her.
She exchanged glances with Ross before going ahead into the conference room.
The dozen of senior executives were laughing their asses off at the sight of Leah.
“Oh, guess who finally shows up? Did you nail the thing with West Street? I knew you were
bullsh*tting.”
“Don’t say that about her. Give me some time. Mr. Thompson won’t fall for her slop since it’s harder to
get into his bed than Mr. Hendrick’s.”
“You’re right. It’s hard for her since she has to act like she’s working during the day and tends to Mr.
Hendrick at night. You guys should cut it out.”
The meeting room was filled with taunts and mockeries. In the past, Leah would have been thrown into
a daze.
Yet now, she merely aloofly said, “You can start your apology now.”
Slamming the contract on the table, she curled her luscious lips cynically, “This is the contract with the
Thompson Group. We got West Street.”

The dozen of senior executives widened their eyes in disbelief as they inspected Mona and the
contract.
“Impossible! We weren’t even close to getting the deal with the Thompsons after going back and forth
with them for two years! How could you possibly close the deal?”
“Young lady, I know you’re vain and competitive, but it’s illegal to forge a contract. I would advise you to
think twice.”
Leah smiled in contempt. “In other words, you’re incompetent. The contract is real. I have proof of my
further collaboration with Mr. Thompson. Please don’t look for an excuse to pass the buck and
apologize to me.”
These people had looked down upon her the whole time. Now that Leah had acquired the partnership,
they were probably p*ssed off.
As expected, a few among the veteran executives made faces.
“How can you expect me to apologize when you obtain the contract through filthy means? Who do you
think you are?”
“Even if the contract is real, it doesn’t change the fact that you go around seducing men. I will never
yield under your power, wh*re.”
Having been embarrassed, they covered their humiliation with rage.
Even though Leah had come back stronger, the waves of criticism washed color off her face.
Only, she kept her cool on the surface. Leah worked the projector and put a video on a huge screen.
Leah then glanced at the management team and smirked. “I was going to let you keep your pride, but
since promises don’t mean anything to you, don’t blame me for what’s to come.
“I have turned over evidence of your bribing, power abuse over employees, and misappropriation of
company funds to the police.
“I will also let the nationwide media know…
As the proof was being played out in the video, the dozen of senior executives turned pale in the face
and shook up.
Refusing to hear anymore, they cut Leah off in a fluster, “Enough! Didn’t you want an apology? Fine, I’ll
apologize. Don’t joke about this sort of stuff.”
“…Hang on. Where did you acquire the proof?”
Seeing that the senior team showed no remorse, Leah disappointedly shook her head. “It’s too late.
The police are on their way as we speak. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. You can explain
yourselves to them.”
Leah put Donald on the investigating job. According to Donald, these people did not even bother to
cover their tracks. They lived life on the edge, challenging the limits of the law.
The senior executives made a run for the door at the mention of police. However, Ross had put a team
of security there.
Five minutes later, the management team was taken away.
It was quiet in the meeting room.
Leah approached the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the scenery. The bleak late Autumn woe
resonated in her eyes.
She could not believe the damage Jackson had done to the White Group.
The whole thing stank.
Leah was heartbroken to see her parents’ lifelong blood, sweat, and tears ruined.
Even though she was only managing the White Group temporarily, she wanted to weed out the bad
and return the company to its former glory.
News that the arrest of the high management team stirred a sensation online.
Jackson and Shawn discuss their options in the dark, only to find his spies in the White Group
removed. Jackson did not take the news well.
He fell on the ground in agony, gasping for breath as resentment fleeted across his eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“That b*tch…”
It never occurred to him that Hendrick would be fond of Sarah and give her power to fire so many
senior executives. The company might just crash.
Hang on. Hendrick was Han!
Shawn looked at the rattled state Jackson was in, feeling disdain.
He was upset too. “We’ll lose all control over the White Group. Not only that, Hendrick has cracked
down on my companies from operating!”
Barely able to pick himself up, Jackson spat in resentment and eerily uttered, “Sarah doesn’t seem to
know that Hendrick is Han.
“Say, do you think she will still stay by his side if we tell her the truth?”
With his eyes lit up, Shawn let out a smile that spoke volumes. “That’s a good idea. We can flip Sarah
to the other side and get her to turn against Han.
“She absolutely can’t stand people lying to her. She will probably have a breakdown if she finds out that
Han is playing with her emotions as Hendrick.”
Ben took Leah to Han’s Victoria residence when night rolled around.
Leah had fished out the issue with her sketches for HJ Corporation during the day, and she had just
come around to fixing it.
As Han put it, Leah discovered the Victors’ amazing feats the deeper she dug into the family’s past.
Her designs reflected the memories of many eras.
Her designs would give out refined retro vibes if she could bring out the essence of the Victor family’s
rich culture and history.
Rather than an air of grandeur, the vintage element of yesteryear suited HJ Corporation best.
Leah altered her sketches before sending them off to Susan. She was about to turn in for the night
when she got a call from Shawn.
Leah was hesitant, but considering their past, she accepted the call.
“Sarah, let’s meet tomorrow. I have an important secret to share about Hendrick and Han…”
