After she entered her room, Yvonne hid in the bathroom. Her call was soon answered.
The person on the other end of the line was a man who spoke in a lilting Somerish accent.
“It’s William.”
That’s right, Yvonne had phoned Celine’s direct competitor, William. He also happened to hate Jasper with all his might.
William had always been looking for a chance to attack Jasper, but he was always too far away to have any chance of launching an attack on him. Thus, he could only repress his hatred of being tricked the first time.
Now, Yvonne was handing William a sword.
The sword would also hurt Celine, but jealousy and hatred were enough to drive a woman to do crazy things.
“Mr. William, I believe you wouldn’t know that Celine and Jasper are in contact right now. They’re planning to list Sena publicly again.” Yvonne did not bother beating around the bush.
The other end of the line remained silent for a while. Only the sound of William’s breathing that was rapidly growing heavier was heard.
“Which means that Celine was lying to me when she told me two teams needed dispatching to make return visits to some of our old clients. She was actually going to work with Jasper in secret and go behind my back to help him list Sena publicly, is that right?” William’s deep voice, which could be heard holding back anger, traveled across the line.
Having such things being done behind his back was already humiliating enough when he was the president, not to mention the fact that he and Celine shared a competitive relationship in their workspace. As for Jasper, the two had a grudge against the other. How could William not be furious when he learned the two were working together while keeping him in the dark?
“The assessment report is already out, and Celine is talking to President Paulson right now. I’ll send you a screenshot of the assessment report later. You’ll understand everything after you read it,” Yvonne said calmly.
“You’re Celine’s secretary, aren’t you?” William asked abruptly.
Yvonne did not confirm nor deny the fact.
“Haha, what a surprise. Celine’s personal secretary has betrayed her,” William said mockingly.
No matter where you were, you would be looked down on if you turned and joined the enemy.
Yvonne’s face turned pale from anger, and she bit down on her lip as she said, “I didn’t betray her. You and I just happen to share Jasper Laine as our common enemy. You wouldn’t let him have his way, would you?”
William laughed coolly and said, “Sena can stop thinking about getting listed publicly so long as I’m here.”
“You’re wrong if that’s what you’re thinking. Sena was awarded a grade of S+ in the assessment report, and Celine has already told President Paulson that. The board of directors at the company’s headquarters will be receiving this report soon. Do you think that you, the president of Terra regional branch, will be able to go against the board of directors’ wishes?”
Yvonne’s cold words caused William to be utterly shocked.
“S+!? How is that possible!?”
“I’ll send you screenshots of the report. I don’t have any reason to lie about this, so if you really want to stop them, you must begin doing so before the board of directors at the headquarters have an official meeting.”
Yvonne hung up the phone after she finished speaking.
Then, she used her phone to send the screenshots of the report she had taken earlier to William’s email. She deleted her call history and the photographs from her phone immediately after that.
Yvonne heaved a sigh of relief after she completed all these actions in fluid movements. She sneered coldly at her reflection in the mirror as she looked at her crazed expression.
‘Jasper Laine, let’s see how cocky you’ll be after this!’
…
The next morning, Jasper stretched lazily as he walked out of his bedroom. When he saw Celine, who was smiling coyly at him as she sat on his couch, his first reaction was to pull his half-open robe tightly around himself.
