?Chapter 2765


    Lenny kept pressing Chase, who wore a pained expression. "Sir, I admit I was wrong this time. Can you forgive me? I just lost my temper and acted irrationally. I promise I won''t do it again."


    Rita scoffed. Was there even going to be a next time? What surprised her the most was that he did not step in to help her when he saw her being harassed by the drunkard on the night he secretly followed her to Parr Group''snd.


    Instead, he seemed to think he had caught her in apromising situation, which was utterly ridiculous. With ready-made material in front of him, he still did not use it and instead wrote something from a skewed perspective. It was utterly nonsensical.


    "Boss, isn''t submitting anonymously to other magazines a vition of ourpany''s rules?"


    Many female colleagues looked at Chase disdainfully. Coupled with being caught red-handed this time, they were eager to expel him from New Capital Times.


    Chase became defensive. "What does my article have to do with you? Are you unhappy because I didn''t write about you? Who do you think you are? You have no right to criticize me!"


    "Why you!" A female colleague mmed the table, visibly infuriated. "You clearly did something wrong, yet here you are, acting all high and mighty. Sir, are you really going to let this slide? What''s the point of putting thepany rules in ce if you''re not going to enforce it?"


    "Sir, this is such a trivial matter. I acknowledge my mistake. Besides, I''ve been working at New Capital Times for so many years. Even if I haven''t done anythingmendable, I''ve still put in my share of effort, haven''t I? How am I supposed to exin to my family if I''m suddenly dismissed from my job?"


    He was indirectly threatening Lenny, leveraging his connections. After all, he came from an influential background. Who could touch him?


    Ile had been coasting in New Capital Times for so many years without consequences. Who would dare to fire him?


    Lenny snorted, knowing that Chase probably did not realize the extent of the situation and the influence of the other man behind it. With him involved, even if Chase had strong backing, he would still be fired.


    "Sorry, but New Capital Times can''t tolerate someone of your quality. I''ve already reported to the higher- ups. Pack your things. You''ll be receiving a formal termination noticeter. As for your family, someone will go and inform them as well."


    Chase could not believe his ears. He rushed up to Lenny and grabbed his cor. "What did you say?" he demanded. "Don''t joke with me like this! You''re going to regret this! I''ll call my uncle right now and see how you''ll end up. You might not even keep your position, old man!"


    Several colleagues rushed to stand between Chase and Lenny, fearing he might lose control and resort to violence. However, they overestimated him. Chase was a coward through and through. Plus, there was no way his frail body could win in a fight against Lenny, who was over fifty but still sturdy.


    "Go ahead, call your uncle right now. If he says so much as no, I''ll march straight to the higher-up''s office and ensure you get to keep your job," said Lenny,Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    Chase looked at him with suspicion. He could not understand why Lenny was so confident. After all these years, who would dare to touch him?


    Rita felt a sense of doubt creeping in. ''Boss doesn''t seem to have any influential connections, so why is he so sure of himself today?''
