Chapter 664
Upon hearing this, the room erupted into murmurs of disbelief.
“What? Ms. Nichole didn’t graduate?
“No way, wasn’t it all over the internet that Ms. Nichole graduated with almost perfect scores?”
“I heard that Ms. Nichole only got into Eastwood College because of Mr. Burke’s financial support and connections. She did study for four years, but in the end, she didn’t graduate..”
What being a dropout implied was clear to everyone present. It either meant failing to submit a qualifying thesis on time or not securing a proper internship.
Even though not everyone at S Corporation graduated from Eastwood College, they all had degrees from prestigious universities dropout wouldn’t even be able to step foot into S Corporation.
Wasn’t it obvious who got in through backdoor connections?
Nichole’s face tumed sour, and at that moment, the secretaries Colby had sent to pack Nichole’s belongings had come down with her stuff packed in cardboard boxes.
The contents were clearly visible.
A laptop worth thousands, an expensive coffee maker, exquisite tea sets, and valuable bottles of wine. At a glance, aside from the computer, nothing was related to work.
Colby said indifferently. “Take the stuff to the door, and please ask Ms. Nichole to leave.”
“Yes, Mr. Colby.” Tricia approached Nichole and said, “Ms. Rowena, as of today, you have been terminated. Please leave.”
Public termination was undoubtedly a slap in Nichole’s dignity.
Nichole clenched her fists and said, “The termination process isn’t complete yet. Burke International is also a shareholder of S Corporation! Unless James disagrees, you can’t kick me out!”
Tricia added, “Ms. Rowena, let me remind you, Mr. Colby owns twenty–five percent of the shares, which surpasses the twenty percent owned by Burke International. Dismissing a general manager is entirely within Mr. Colby’s authority, without needing to notify Burke International.”
“You, you’re all just!”
Nichole pointed at the people around her, struggling to find words, while Colby lazily said, “Seems like she doesn’t want to leave. Tricia,
call security.”
“Yes, Mr. Colby Tricia took out her walkie–talkie and spoke into it. “Security, come in and escort Ms. Rowena out.”
Soon, security came in and grabbed Nichole by the arms.
“What are you doing? I was sent by Burke Internationall You can’t treat me this way!”
Nichole tried to break free, but the security guards were too strong. She quickly noticed the disdainful and scornful looks of the people around her, which made her eyes turn red.
Nichole glared at Colby and Sophie, saying, “I was dispatched by Burke International. When I get back, Burke International will demand an explanation for this!”
Sophie raised an eyebrow and said, “Ms. Rowena, we won’t see you out.”
Even if Nichole felt wronged, at that moment, she could only be dragged out by security.
“Everyone, disperse.”
Then, holding Sophie’s hand, Colby said, “Let me show you how your office has been arranged.”
Colby blatantly held Sophie’s hand in full view of everyone as they walked to the employee area.
Sophie lowered her voice, “So many people are watching. Don’t you think you’re being a bit too biased?”
“Am I?” Colby replied with a smirk. “Darling, I’ve always been like this.”
