Chapter 190 It Would Only Make Things Worse
He suddenly remembered that when August came to his house for lunch yesterday, he had talked about his affair with Cecile in front of him! The media happened to release the news on the day when the Kelly Group was going to cooperate with the Coster Group.
He and August had just fought yesterday.
It was such a coincidence.
When Merlin cleared his head, his anger grew even stronger.
He raised his hand and swept the cup on the table to the ground.
With a bang, the cup and the water fell to the ground and shattered.
He almost gritted his teeth and cursed, "August, how dare you!"
As soon as he said that, a secretary ran over.
When she saw the glass fragments all over the floor and Merlin's angry face, she was so frightened that she froze and asked, "Mr.Kelly, you..."
Merlin glanced at her with gloomy eyes and said, "Get out!"
The secretary shuddered, and hurriedly exited the conference room.
Merlin's eyes fell on her back and they darkened, He stopped her, "Wait!"
He had been slapped by his father just now.
When he thought that August might have done this, he was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger.
When the secretary heard this, she turned back tremblingly, lowered her head, and said, "Mr.Kelly, what can I do for you?"
Merlin snorted coldly and his eyes darkened.
His eyes reminded her of Martin's, which made her shudder.
He walked over quickly, closed the conference room door without saying a word, and locked it.
He grabbed the secretary and pressed her against the conference table, "Help me vent my anger!"
The poor secretary was so frightened that she broke away from him, backing away, "Mr.Kelly, don't do this!"
Merlin's face darkened suddenly.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed her arm with force.
After several struggles, the secretary was about to cry, and she refused to compromise.
After pushing and shoving for a long time, Merlin still didn't get his way.He became annoyed and lost interest.He secretly cursed and swept the glass shards all over the floor with cold eyes.He pushed the secretary to the ground.
"Ah!"
The secretary's hand just pressed on the shards.
When she raised her hand, her hand was bleeding.
Merlin gave her a cold look and snorted, "Bitch! You brought it on yourself"
After scolding her he took out his wallet, directly took out a stack of hundred-dollar bills, and threw them at her, "Medical expenses.Get out of here!"
He left the conference room without looking back.
Merlin left the company full of anger.
He impulsively wanted to go to August to get back at him several times.
But when he thought of what his father had said, he could only bear it.
If he went to get back in August at this time and was photographed by the media, the situation would get worse.
It would be better for him to find a place to have a drink and avoid the limelight.
Anyway, he would get back in August sooner or later! Three hours later, the news continued to ferment.
Not only was it not suppressed by the Kelly Group's PR team, but it became more and more intense instead.
In the President's Office of Lion Group, August was sitting on the sofa, flipping through the latest headlines.
(Merlin Kelly harassed a company employee and the leaked video is shocking}!] He scrolled down and saw the surveillance animation attached to the news.
The picture was clear and he could see the face.
It was indeed Merlin.
A faint smile crossed August's face and he asked lightly, "What's going on?"
Burton was standing by. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Hearing August's words, he immediately reported seriously, "I heard that Merlin attacked the secretary in the conference room.The secretary girl pulled up the surveillance, took pictures of her injuries, and posted them online."
Hearing what he said, August smiled and said solemnly, "He has never changed."
Merlin was too arrogant to know how to keep a low profile.
At first, he had just deliberately disclosed the information he had collected to the media.
But he hadn't expected that after Merlin attacked the secretary, it went out of control.
Originally, it was just a scandal about the son of Kelly Group.
But now, it had risen to the level of sexual harassment and abuse of employees.
It would only make things worse, and the trend of public opinion would be more difficult to control.
For Merlin, it was not a good thing.
But for him, it was a pleasant surprise.
When Burton saw August's expression soften, he couldn't help but ask, "Mr.Adams, you had a dispute with him yesterday, and it was exposed today.Will he be suspicious?"
When August heard this, he picked up the coffee cup slowly, took a sip, and said softly, "I'm never afraid of being suspected by him."
This time, even if Merlin was a fool, he could probably figure it out.
He had specifically instructed Burton not to wipe the traces too cleanly.
This was just a small warning to Merlin for sending Mr.Mitchell tampered photos last time.
The game between him and Merlin had just begun.
At the same time, in Weske's VIP box, Merlin was holding a hot girl in his arms, drinking, and watching his friends joking and laughing happily.
On the other side, his phone that had fallen into the crack of the sofa rang non-stop.
The screen flickered on and off, and it had been ringing for quite a while.
Finally, the vibrating cell phone was found.
A man with a crew cut picked it up, glanced at it, and handed it to Merlin, "Merlin, your call."
Merlin stretched out his hand to take it.
When he glanced at it, the smile on his face froze, and he immediately sat up straight.
There were more than a dozen missed calls, three of which were from Martin.
His father had never made so many calls at once unless there was something extremely urgent.
The rest was made by Wade.
Could something have gone wrong? Merlin didn't dare to delay, and immediately got up and walked out of the noisy box.
He called Wade first, "Hey, what's going on?"
From the other end of the phone came Wade's anxious voice, "Mr.Kelly, don't you know? It's all over the news!"
Merlin scratched his head irritably and asked, "What's wrong? Has the news been suppressed yet?"
Hearing this, Wade was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and said, "Mr.Kelly, you'd better hurry up and watch the news.There is nothing your father could do.Money is useless now.The news had gone viral."
Merlin cursed and put him on speaker.He clicked into the news and was immediately dumbfounded.Various accusations such as "employee abuse" and "sexual harassment"caught his eye.
He quickly read it and his face darkened a little.
Unexpectedly, what he had done to the secretary was exposed! Who gave her the guts?! He asked in disbelief, "Who did this?"
On the other end of the phone, Wade replied, "Eaton, the secretary of the general manager's office has resigned."
"Damn! I didn't expect to be tricked by that little bitch at such a time!"
Merlin frowned with anger, "Wade, I don't care what method you use, now you have to suppress the public opinion!"
He had always done bad things in the company, and sometimes he didn't suffer any loss when he harassed female colleagues.
Unexpectedly, this time he was not only targeted by August, but also by the young girl in the company!
"Mr.Kelly, it's going viral right now.The PR team has tried their best to suppress the news, but failed..."
Before Wade could finish his sentence, Merlin interrupted him angrily, "I don't care what method you have to use! You must take care of it! Or I will fire you immediately!"
He hung up the phone and gritted his teeth angrily.
As soon as he turned around, he saw a man not far behind, and he frowned tightly.
