Chapter 660
"Nobody told me to do it. I did it on my own," Ethan muttered, shaking his head. "I hate Mr. Leo, I... I hate him for paying me so little every year."
"As a secretary, you receive so much salary from me, but you still find it insufficient," Leo said, coughing from anger.
"Dad, don't be angry. You have to understand that some people will only get hungrier the more you feed them; it's normal."
Sie turned to Spencer and said, "Get him in there. It's up to you now."
"What... what are you planning to do?" Ethan looked at Spencer, who was getting closer and started trembling.
But Spencer ignored him and dragged him into a bedroom.
Soon, the sound of unbearable cries echoed out.
Leo shuddered at the sound. "Sie, what are you doing?"
"Dad, if you don't teach some people a lesson, they will keep bullying you," Sie said with a smile, helping him sit down.
"No, we'll have to take him to the police station later, I'm afraid..."
"Don't worry, it won't be traced back," Sie reassured him. "I just asked Spencer to give him a little lesson."
Leo couldn't help but shiver. "Where did you learn all this, and who is that young man?"
"Dad, over the years, I've come to understand that only by being ruthless can I protect myself," Sie smiled at him. "For those who treat us well, we can be kind, but for those who are ungrateful, there's no need for mercy."
"You're right."
Leo saw her demeanor and once again marveled at her significant change. But he also understood that after all the suffering Sie had endured, he, as a father, should also become more like her.
Half an hour later, Spencer emerged, dragging the barely conscious Ethan.
"Have you figured it out? I checked your accounts. From two years ago, there's been an extra one million dollars in your account every year. Not only that, two years ago, your account would have an additional 100,000 dollars every month, which later turned into 200,000 dollars and 300,000 dollars. The amount will increase. Let me guess, you've been embezzling company funds all this time, but someone caught you and threatened you to poison my dad for me. Is that what happened?" Sie squatted down, smiling at him.
Ethan's eyes now resembled those of a devil. "It was Vera who approached me. Initially, she didn't expect Mr. Leo to survive the car accident, so she had me slowly poison Mr. Leo's food and drink. Once Mr. Leo is dead, Ms. Luna can rightfully take over the Leo Group."
"Bitch!"
Leo's body shook with anger like a sieve. "I've lived for decades, seen many malicious people, but I've never seen anyone as venomous as her."
"Dad, there are lots of venomous people around the world." Sie calmly shook her head and said to Ethan, "I have a task for you. Meet Vera privately and get evidence of her plotting to poison you."
