Nash looked up at Willow and said, “Your aunt called me just now. She pleaded for you. Considering


    your aunt’s dedication and loyalty,


    I’ll let you go this time. If this happens again, I won’t just dismiss you


    but also your aunt.”


    Sandra’s phone call requesting for mercy could be seen as her


    vouching for Willow. If Willow were to repeat the offense, as her guarantor, Sandra would also face


    consequences.


    Upon hearing that her aunt had pleaded on her behalf, Willow


    imagined how her aunt must have humbled herself to make the


    request.


    Feeling like she had burdened her aunt, Willow’s eyes turned red as she said through choked sobs,


    “Mr. Calcraft, thank you for giving me this chance. I’ll return all the kickbacks I received to thepar


    Admittedly, she did not make much from the kickbacks as most of went to Arnauld from the Life


    Department. She made, at most, jus over a million. Over the past few months, she had spent more


    than


    200 grand on luxury items. She could borrow that sum from her aunt


    to cover that gap.


    Nash smiled faintly. “This is the right attitude to have when you’re admitting your mistakes. As the


    director of the Inspection Department, I should treat everyone equally. However, your aunt has indeed


    dedicated a lot to thepany, so I hope you won’t disappoint her in the future.”


    Tears streamed down Willow’s face as she replied, “No, I’ll never hurt


    my aunt’s feelings again.”


    Nash waved his hand. “You can go now.”


    Willow lowered her head respectfully to Nash and Frankie. “Thank


    you, thank you both!”


    After saying that, Willow wiped her tears and turned to leave.


    “Setting this precedent isn’t actually a good idea. If this were politics,


    what we did might be seen as favoritism and a deviation from justice,


    “Frankie said with mixed feelings. He admired Nash’s style of


    handling things but also felt somewhat ufortable.


    “Well, this isn’t politics. It’s good for us to show a bit of a human.


    touch,” Nash said with a faint smile.


    Universal Group in Jonford had too many internal problems, and Sandra’s ability to maintain ethical


    standards in thepany wasmendable. It would not be an exaggeration to say she was


    positive force in thepany.


    Why should an outstanding employee like her not be given a b special treatment?


    No longer wanting to dwell on the previous topic, Frankie smiled an


    asked, “Shall we go to the Finance Department next?”


    “You can go back to work. I can handle this one,” Nash replied.

    Frankie nced at the time. It was already two o’clock. “Alright then. I have a meeting at three. If you


    need anything, just call me anytime.”


    With that, he got up and left.


    Nash called out, “Have Lynne to my office!”


    “Okay!” Frankie responded.


    Nash took out his phone and dialed Eric’s number.


    At this moment, Eric, dressed in yellow robes, was sitting upright in


    the back seat of As’ Aston Martin. On his left was the mature and


    beautiful Jesebel, and on his right was the pure and youthful-looking


    Winnie.


    Jesebel’s arms and legs were crossed as she looked out the window


    curiously at the pedestrians who were admiring the luxury car.


    Winnie, on the other hand, had rolled down the window. She was making all sorts of cute poses and


    pouting for her selfies.

    In the front, acting as the driver, As was quite displeased ther of the two maids he hired knew how to


    drive. Was it approp him, the distinguished young sir of the Jonford Kennedys, to their chauffeur?


    “Eric, let’s take a photo!” Winnie leaned against Eric.


    The young woman’s scent mixed with that of her shower gel, tickli Eric’s senses. His mouth went dry as


    he felt his heart stir. He was seriously beginning to wonder if this little enchantress was intentionally


    tempting him.


    His robes were tenting slightly. Eric crossed his legs together, smiling as he struggled to make a peace


    sign with his hand.


    Winnie looked happily at the photos on her phone. “This will be my phone wallpaper from now on. It


    should be able to ward off evil spirits, right?”


    Ericughed. “With a Heavenly Master present, all evil spirits and demons will keep their distance!”


    Just as he said that, Eric’s gaze suddenly sharpened. “Something is happening at De’anne Cemetery.


    Let’s go there first!”
