Chapter 551: Chapter 546 Who Gives You Face_1
Ethan Hopkins was glaring at her ominously, “If you think you’re living too hard, just say it, let’s see who’ll end up worse off.”
“It was you who copied the data and used your account. If you want to say it, I won’t stop you. After all, it’s you who will face the consequences not me.”
Gillian Thompson’s eyes widened, the depths of her eyes filled with despair.
Yes, how could she forget she was the one who stole the data?
Ethan Hopkins looked at her as if she were dead, slowly letting go of the hand covering her mouth.
Gillian Thompson’s face turned ashen, she sneered coldly, “Ethan Hopkins, we’re now in the same boat, don’t think about abandoning me.”
“You’re the one I like, how could I abandon you? I was just too angry today and abandoned you. I’ve realized I shouldn’t blame you for this.” Ethan’s tone changed suddenly, his voice turned gentle.
He gently touched Gillian’s stomach and whispered in her ear: “You’re carrying my baby in your stomach. How could I abandon you? I was wrong before, Gillian, will you forgive me?”
Gillian didn’t say a word, but there was a hint of softening in her eyes.
She didn’t have any other choice now but to rely on Ethan.
“I thought you were going to see Liliana Leaford!” Gillian playfully smacked away his hand, “I can forgive you, but you can’t ever abandon me again. You have no idea that so many people are watching me, I’m almost losing face because of your Hopkins family.”
Hearing about her losing face, the expression on Ethan’s face changed abruptly.
She actually had the audacity to say that the Hopkins family was ruining her reputation!
If he weren’t afraid of Gillian revealing those things or if he had already acquired the Thompson family property, he wouldn’t have humbled himself to please such a woman.
But Gillian was mentally unstable, like a madwoman. If he didn’t stabilize her, she might mess up everything before he got a hold of the Thompson’s property.
“Such thing won’t happen in the future.”
Ethan comforted her on the surface while secretly scheming to get his hands on the Thompson’s property as soon as possible.
After sending Gillian away, Ethan immediately called Samuel Richardson: “Uncle Samuel, we have collected enough evidence and data here. When are we going to take action?”
…
The Thompson Tower was towering, with a grand aura.
The working-class people were lining up orderly to enter the hall. Grace Harrison was carrying a small bag and a briefcase, carefully queuing in the middle.
“Hi, can I order takeout for lunch here?” Grace stopped a female student and asked.
The girl sized her up and down: “Are you new? Here for an interview, right?”
Grace was stunned and she nodded her head in confusion.
“That’s strange, our company hasn’t recently recruited any graduates. What are you here for?” The girl adjusted her glasses, gesturing towards the front desk, “Is there a new person coming today?”
The girl at the front desk came over and looked at Grace up and down, frowning and muttering: “Where did you come from?”
Lately, lots of Richardson Group employees have been coming for interviews without sending a resume first, and they can’t be chased away.
Seeing that Grace couldn’t provide an explanation, the receptionist, who was afraid that Grace was one of those people, said impatiently: “Get lost if you’re not following the normal recruitment process. We’re a legitimate business here, not just anyone is allowed to enter.”
Being chased away by the receptionist, Grace was taken aback.
She indeed didn’t follow the normal channel.
But her brother Carter told her that he had already secured the assistant job for her with Damian Thompson. That couldn’t be a lie, right?
“Miss, today is my first day at work. I’m indeed an employee of your company.”
“Did you sign the contract?”
“No, today is my first day, so I came here to sign the contract.” Grace explained patiently.
The manager, Miss Zhang, scrutinized her and seeing that Grace didn’t seem to be lying, she asked doubtfully, “You said you’re here to work, which position did you apply for?”
Grace hesitated for a moment before whispering, “Damian Thompson’s assistant.”
“What?”
“Damian Thompson’s assistant.”
Manager Zhang chuckled, “The president’s assistant? Are you dreaming? The president’s assistant is Vivian Wilson, do you think I wouldn’t know that? Don’t delude yourself.”
As soon as Manager Zhang finished speaking, she spotted someone out of the corner of her eye and immediately waved at that person, “Vivian, Vivian, come here!”
Vivian Wilson was in the queue behind, when she saw Manager Zhang waving at her, she felt a little awkward.
Originally, she was going to be Damian Thompson’s intern assistant, but for some reason, Damian Thompson gave up on hiring her. No matter how many connections her father tried to use, nothing worked. In the end, her father only managed to get her another lower-level position in the Thompson Group.
Not being able to stay close to Damian Thompson meant that any position was meaningless, but for the sake of face, she couldn’t disclose it, so only a few people knew about this.
“Manager Zhang…” Vivian walked up to Manager Zhang and when she saw Grace, she exclaimed, “Grace Harrison, what are you doing here?!”
“What, you two know each other?” Manager Zhang looked at Vivian and then at Grace.
“Not really, just alumni.” Vivian chuckled, each word she sounded seemed forced out between clenched teeth.
“Oh… that makes sense…” Manager Zhang seemed to have discovered a new continent, “Your alumni must know that you’re our president’s intern assistant, yet she’s trying to pretend to be you and enter the company!”
“Impersonating me?” Vivian raised her eyebrows and looked unhappily at Grace. “What’s going on?”
Grace was about to explain, but Manager Zhang jumped in to answer first. “She actually claims to be the president’s intern assistant; Vivian, isn’t it funny? You’re the assistant, and she’s treating us like fools, trying to trick us.”
“Everyone knows that the president has reserved this position for you for a year. No one can take it from you. I wonder where this lady got the audacity to say she is the president’s intern assistant.”
Listening to Manager Zhang’s words, Vivian was horrified.
Clearly Damian Thompson said he didn’t need an assistant, so how did it become Grace?
Could it be that Grace was lying?
Vivian sized up Grace, seeing her still dressed in those cheap clothes, her vigilance against Grace dwindled.
It was clear to everyone that Grace was in love with Damian Thompson, and naturally, Vivian could see it too.
Even though Grace’s identity had been revealed, Damian was not the one to just let it go.
The Wilson and Thompson families have deep cooperations; the Thompson family would never risk the relationship with the Wilson family for the Harrison family.
“Grace Harrison, you really have some nerve, even pretending to be the intern assistant of Damian. I wonder who gave you the audacity?” After a few confrontations, Vivian had developed an intense dislike for Grace, especially after Grace’s true identity as Carter Harrison’s daughter was revealed. Grace, who used to be beneath Vivian, had suddenly emerged from a cocoon into a butterfly, which made Vivian feel as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly.
