Claire was completely unaware of George’s malicious intentions. So, when he greeted her with fake politeness, she quickly replied, “George, you are too welcome.”

With a feigned smile plastered on his face, George picked up Claire’s resume from the table and casually flipped through its pages. In a disheartening tone, he said, “Claire, I’m truly sorry, but based on your resume, it appears your qualifications don’t align with our requirements. Unfortunately, you just don’t meet our needs.”

He let out a heavy sigh before continuing, “I regret to inform you, Claire, that you’ve failed the interview. I recommend you explore opportunities with other companies. Best of luck!”

Claire was taken aback by his blunt rejection and quickly protested, “But I’ve spent many years working in the management department at the Wilson Group! I’m confident my professionalism aligns with what your company is looking for.”

George shook his head decisively. “No, Claire. Your so-called qualifications stem merely from being part of the Wilson family. Now that you’ve been dismissed from that family, you’re essentially a nobody!”

“Fine then.” Claire looked down, a shadow of despair clouding her eyes. She finally realized George’s true motive for interrupting her interview—he was pursuing a personal vendetta against her.

Anger bubbled within her at George’s unprofessional conduct. Recognizing that her chances with Spikeworth Corps were nonexistent, she dropped her smile and exited the room, feeling defeated.

Behind her, George smirked triumphantly, muttering, “Don’t even think about getting into Spikeworth as long as I’m around!”

Meanwhile, Charlie was in the lounge area, waiting for her. He was taken aback when he saw Claire emerging from the elevator, her face marred by distress. Rushing to her side, he asked, “Darling, what’s wrong? How did the interview go? Was it bad?”

With tears welling in her reddened eyes, Claire recounted everything that had transpired during the interview.

After hearing her story, Charlie was filled with a mix of anger and frustration.

George was such a jerk! He had never dared to confront Charlie directly, yet here he was, bullying his wife?! How dare he!

Without hesitation, Charlie pulled out his phone and began typing a message with purpose. “Looks like George Harris from Spikeworth thinks he’s pretty powerful. He’s dared to bully my wife. Mr. White, how do you plan to handle this?” He sent the message directly to Zeke.

Meanwhile, Zeke was waiting for Charlie in the lobby downstairs with his bodyguard. Upon receiving the message, he stared at it in disbelief, his expression quickly morphing into one of shock!

What the hell! Here he was, desperately trying to win Charlie over, and this George character had the audacity to offend Charlie’s wife! Did he have a death wish?!

Fuming, Zeke immediately instructed his assistant, “Gather all of Spikeworth’s board of directors right now!”

Spikeworth Corps was a subsidiary of the White family, and Zeke’s authority there was akin to that of an emperor.

When the board members learned that Zeke White was requesting to see them, they hurried over to pay their respects.

As the head of the White family, no one dared to cross Zeke. If he chose to disband Spikeworth for any reason, they would all find themselves out of a job!

Unbeknownst to George, who had returned to his office after dismissing Claire, he was about to stir up a huge amount of trouble for himself. Sitting back in his chair, he lit a cigar, a smug grin on his face.

Jerry and Joanne were overjoyed to hear that George had kicked Claire out. They surrounded him, showering him with praises. “Boss, you only had to say one thing and Claire was out! You’re amazing!”

“Absolutely! George, as a senior executive of Spikeworth, you’re the most successful among us!”

Joanne and Jerry flattered George, hoping to curry favor with him for a brighter future and the promise of wealth and power.

George reveled in their compliments, declaring, “I’ve always found Charlie to be disgusting and irritating since college. Now that his wife wants to work for Spikeworth? Dream on!”

Joanne chuckled. “Oh, George, you should have recorded her reaction! I’d love to see how heartbroken Claire was after being turned away!”

George laughed heartily. “Haha, she was on the verge of tears! It was absolutely hilarious!”

Jerry then asked, “What about Charlie? Did he come with her?”

“I have no idea. I didn’t see him,” George replied dismissively. “If that loser dares to show his face here, I’ll break his leg!”

Joanne continued to flatter George, “Wow, you’re incredible! Charlie seems so insignificant compared to you!”
