Chapter 9

Author: Ewan Ann
As Remy's, Karen's, and Sandra's wailing and howling faded into the distance, a deathly silence settled over the venue once more.

Everyone held their breath, afraid to even utter a single word—especially the other employees who had previously sided with Karen in the company's Slack channel and joined her in criticizing me. They were all ashen-faced, wishing they could sink into the ground and disappear.

Dad turned around, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. Then, he walked onto

  • Firing Me From My Dad's Company   Chapter 10

    Half a year later, the weather in Waverton had become a lot cooler.Business performance at the Waverton branch had steadily improved over the months, and I had also gradually begun taking over some of the core business from Lincoln Group's headquarters.One afternoon, I had just finished an important international video conference when my assistant, Susie Frost, knocked on my door and entered."Mr. Sutherland, this is the strategic plan for the next quarter. Kindly review them at your earliest convenience."I took the documents from her, scanned through the report, and signed my name on it."By the way, Mr. Sutherland," Susie continued, a hint of hesitation in her voice. "We received a call from Waverton Prison earlier. They said that several inmates wanted to see you."My hand paused for a second.I asked, "Who are they?""Remy Lincoln, Karen Beech, and Sandra Leach."I leaned back against my executive chair, the images of those three despicable faces resurfacing in my mind.

    As Remy's, Karen's, and Sandra's wailing and howling faded into the distance, a deathly silence settled over the venue once more.Everyone held their breath, afraid to even utter a single word—especially the other employees who had previously sided with Karen in the company's Slack channel and joined her in criticizing me. They were all ashen-faced, wishing they could sink into the ground and disappear.Dad turned around, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. Then, he walked onto the stage and picked up the microphone."Ladies and gentlemen, I sincerely apologize for subjecting you to such an unpleasant scene today. This incident was the result of my negligence in management, letting a handful of vermin into the company to create such a mess."He then paused, his gaze becoming increasingly proud as he pointed at me."However, I must formally introduce you all to Alex Sutherland, my biological son and the sole heir to Lincoln Group!"He concealed his identity and joi

    Remy looked like all of his strength had been drained away. His lips trembled violently, and he couldn't even form a proper, coherent sentence for a long time."I… I never impersonated anyone… T-They were the ones who misunderstood…"He tried to make a final attempt at justifying his actions, but his weak argument sounded ridiculous in the face of irrefutable evidence.Karen finally recovered from her pain and shock. She remained on the ground as she crawled over to Dad's feet and hugged his legs, ignoring her swollen cheek as she cried, "Mr. Lincoln Senior! I can explain! It's all just a misunderstanding!"It was Remy! He was the one who kept implying that he was your son! We've been deceived by him this entire time!"We really didn't know Mr. Sutherland's true identity! If we knew, we would never have had the guts to do anything to him at all!"She wept and wailed loudly, trying to pin all of the blame on Remy.Sandra also fell to her knees in fright, sobbing as she exclaimed,

    Dad's steps were hasty and carried an undeniable air of power and authority.Seeing this, Karen and Sandra assumed he was coming to deal with me personally, and their eyes gleamed with excitement. They rushed forward, buzzing around Dad like two tiresome flies."You're finally here, Mr. Lincoln Senior! Alex Sutherland has been nothing but a disgrace to our company!" Karen said, spittle spraying everywhere as she spoke."He didn't just slack off. He even stole company trade secrets to sell to our competitors! And after he was fired, he shamelessly sneaked into our company's event just to trash up the place and cause trouble for us!"Sandra chimed in with a look of feigned concern and distress, backing up Karen's statement. "That's right, Mr. Lincoln Senior! Having someone like that around is nothing but an eyesore! Just now, he even injured Mr. Lincoln just because he knew Mr. Hardin!"Karen then began exaggerating things, finally unleashing her trump card."Did you know, Mr. Linc

  • Firing Me From My Dad's Company   Chapter 6

    Guests dressed in elegant suits and evening gowns mingled inside the event hall, the lights gleaming and reflecting off their jewelry.Max pulled me straight to the front, where all the core VIPs were seated. The surrounding executives and businessmen immediately flocked around him to flatter him and get on his good side as soon as they saw him.However, when they saw me sitting next to Max, dressed casually like I didn't belong there, they gave me weird looks.Obviously, the rumors that Karen had spread had taken hold of them."Isn't that Alex Sutherland from the company's sales department? How did he manage to get in?""I heard that he was fired for stealing. How does he still have the nerve to show his face?""Why is Mr. Hardin sitting next to a person like him? Has he been deceived?"I caught the gossip and whispers, but I didn't respond to any of them, not even with a frown. Instead, I picked up a glass of red wine from a passing waiter's tray and took a sip.Meanwhile, Ma

  • Firing Me From My Dad's Company   Chapter 5

    A roar startled the security guards, causing them to stop abruptly in their tracks.The young man removed his sunglasses, revealing a face marked by arrogance and recklessness.It was Max Hardin, the son of the wealthiest tycoon in Waverton, and also my childhood best friend. He strode up to me and gave me a good once-over. Then, he asked, "What's going on, Alex? Getting bullied by a couple of stray dogs on your own turf?"I shrugged, my tone flat as I replied, "There are just too many mad dogs about these days. I forgot to check my horoscope before going out today."Remy obviously didn't know who Max was. He frowned and looked at him impatiently."And who the hell do you think you are to meddle in my, Remy Lincoln's, business? I'm telling you, I am the sole heir to Lincoln Group, and Richard Lincoln is my father!"You'd better get lost if you know what's best for you! Otherwise, I'll also kick you out of here!"Max was taken aback for a minute. Then, he burst into loud, uncon
