Chapter: 380
“Oh? Are you telling me what I should be doing? And who are you to be doing that? Do I even know you?”
“Mr. Finn, we’ve met before,” Dustin replied.
“So what? I’ve met lots of people. Am I supposed to know all of them?”
Morgan gave Dustin a derogatory once over.
“Also, who do you think you are? Who are you to butt into the internal affairs of the company?”
Dustin frowned when he heard what Morgan had to say.
“Mr. Finn, as vice president of the company, are you not going to look into actions that will ruin the company’s reputation?”
“Whether or not I look into the matter is my call to make. What evidence have you got to claim that Mr. Marcs is selling substandard products?”
“You want evidence? Here’s your evidence!” Dustin kicked the box over, spilling Immortunol all over the ground.
“Hey, young man, so what if these Immortunols are substandard? How are you going to prove that they belong to Mr. Marcs? Who’s to say you didn’t steal them?” Morgan retaliated.
Mr. Marcs was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly reacted.
“That’s right! Mr. Finn, this fella here is a thief! I caught him stealing from us! I did not expect this brazen rascal to fight back so violently! He’s truly heinous and despicable!”
“I can vouch for that! He’s the one who stole the Immortunols!” Julie added.
“Do you hear that? Everyone’s saying that you’re the thief.” Morgan smirked maliciously. Which insolent bastard is this who dared meddle in his affairs?
“Mr. Finn, it seems like you’re going to cover up for him, then?” Dustin’s eyes narrowed, a menacing look in his eyes.
It suddenly made sense to Dustin why Mr. Marcs dared to act so rampantly. It was because he had an equally unrighteous superior! Dustin had thought that he had seen the worst from Mr. Marcs, but it turns out that Morgan was worse! Not only did he distort the truth, he even framed others for things that they did not do. It was plain for all to see that his subordinate was in the wrong, but he blatantly put the blame on Custin. That was too much!
“So what if I cover up for him? Who do you think calls the shots here?” Mr. Finn pressed his lips together into a thin line.
“I’m giving you a chance now. Get down on your knees and apologize to Mr. Marcs right now, and admit that you were wrong. If you don’t, I’ll make sure you spend the rest of your days behind bars!‘
“Are you sure that’s what you want to do?” Dustin challenged.
“Do I look like I’m joking? You should check if your opponent has someone behind him before you go throwing your weight around like that! Who do you think you are to do as you wish on my turf? Now get on your knees and apologize!‘ Morgan roared.
“Do you hear that? Get on your knees!” Mr. Marcs jeered, looking at Dustin like he had victory over him.
“Rhys! Why did you even intervene in the first place? This is what you get for meddling in other people’s business!” Julie gloated.
“You really think too highly of yourself! Matt shot him a contemptuous and dismissive look.
In the face of absolute power, it was irrelevant whether you were right or wrong. So what if you were right?
When the person in power dictated that you’re wrong, you have no way of defending yourself, Such was the law of society.
