MY Masochistic CEO-Chapter 152 William’s counterattack

Nicole furrowed her brows. "Alright. Since you say so, I won’t dwell on it. Right and wrong will be judged by our colleagues. Everyone knows what happened here!"

"But the matter of him peeping at girls in the restroom is confirmed, right? Moreover, Zack Johnson, the head of the sanitation department, reported to me that during restroom cleaning, William peeked into the women’s restroom. How should we settle this issue? Manager Johnson has no scores with him. Could he be framing William?"

’Damn! Zack was such a bastard!’

It was he who forced me to clean the women’s restroom, not letting me leave until it was done! Damn it! But others didn’t know.

The discussion erupted instantly, everyone whispering to each other!

"Oh no! This pervert actually peeked into the women’s restroom."

"Oh my god! Does that mean he’s seen everything about us?"

"So disgusting."

I was furious. Nicole was simply malicious to the extreme.

I slammed my fist on the desk in anger, and the force of my blow actually punched through the grid. "Stop talking nonsense here. If you have the guts, bring Zack here to confront me face to face, to see if he ordered me or if I did it on my own."

"Nicole, are you just seeking revenge? Fine, I’ll fight you to the end!"

"William, how dare you!" Nicole was furious. "You’re insulting your leader. I’m firing you right now."

"Call Zack, and bring the surveillance footage from that day. Dare you?"

I smiled instead of getting angry. "Even if you want to fire me, you need solid evidence, and reporting requires real evidence. Otherwise, you’re just settling personal scores. What qualifications do you have to be a deputy director?"

Would I be afraid of her firing me now? Of course not!

To be honest, I was not afraid at all. There weren’t many reasons for me to stay at Skylight now, just Lily, Jessica, and Skylight’s resources.

But if I really made up my mind, I could give up them directly.

Nicole’s face turned red, and I continued, "Go get someone to retrieve the surveillance footage. Otherwise, if you want to make a fuss about this, then do it completely. If Mrs. Lawrence can’t solve this, I’ll go to Ms. Camille. If Ms. Camille can’t do me justice, I’ll go to Mr. Foster. If Mr. Foster still can’t be fair, then I’ll take it to the president’s office and see who can handle it!"

"William, calm down. This is an internal issue within the marketing department!" Jessica showed a sullen face.

The sentence I just said was meant to provoke her. Also, there was no surveillance in the restroom, so their attempt to slander me was baseless.

Nicole seemed to realize this issue as well and then changed the subject. "So, how do you explain this photo?"

"I told you it was just a joke between colleagues. If you really want to investigate, you need to deal with Philip. After all, the photo was leaked from him. I have records on my phone. You can check them yourself."

"Oh, right."

I turned to Philip. "You maliciously took photos, defamed and attacked me, causing significant damage to my personal reputation. I will file a lawsuit, so I hope you’d find a good lawyer!"

I looked at him coldly. He was such a scumbag. If I didn’t ruin him directly, he would keep causing trouble for me. It was very disgusting.

Philip panicked. "William, stop slandering me!"

"Just wait for the court summons."

For such a sneaky person, tough talk was meaningless.

The chat records on the phone were solid evidence, so he couldn’t get away.

"William, are you threatening your colleague in front of me?" Nicole was beyond angry.

"Threatening a colleague? Ms. Cooper, you got it wrong. I’m using legal means to defend my dignity and interests, and, at the same time, helping the company correct its wrong practices. You should be thanking me."

As the words fell, Paul muttered softly, "Impressive."

Grace covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Do I have to thank you too?"

Nicole was seething. Jessica was standing right beside her, yet she didn’t say a word in Nicole’s defense, which meant everything.

Lily breathed a sigh of relief and gave me a subtle glance.

At this point, Jessica spoke up. "Alright. Everyone, quiet."

"Ms. Cooper, this matter is undoubtedly a misunderstanding, orchestrated by some malicious individuals aiming to sow discord and tarnish the company’s reputation. While your enforcement of rules is commendable, it is crucial to thoroughly investigate the truth next time to avoid fostering discord among colleagues."

Jessica, exuding her authority as the Executive Director, effortlessly silenced Nicole with a mere few words.

"But how can he openly defy me like that?"

Jessica cast a sidelong glance at her and turned to me, saying, "William, I must reprimand you. Even if you are not at fault, you should not defy authority. Therefore, I propose a deduction of three days’ basic pay as a lesson. Will you accept this?"

"Yes!" I hastily replied, thinking to myself, ’Who cares? I have already received twenty thousand dollars.’

"Very well. Apologize to Ms. Cooper and make a profound self-reflection!"

It wouldn’t kill me if I apologized to Nicole.

Besides, it was evident that Jessica was on my side, so I must do as she said. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Rushing forward, I apologized. "Ms. Cooper, I was too brash in my words. I deeply regret my impulsive behavior and hope you can forgive me. I pledge to be more vigilant in the future and strive for better performance."

"Good!" Paul exclaimed, clapping vigorously, joined by Grace and Lily, their applause filling the room.

This was no reflection, but rather a scene of praise.

Nicole’s face turned dark with anger.

"Alright. Everyone, silence!"

"Ms. Cooper, this is a misunderstanding. It’s good to report misconduct, but without solid evidence, remember not to jump to conclusions. I don’t want my marketing department to be in chaos. Everyone, dismissed!"

First, Jessica expressed her warning and then asserted her authority as the head of the marketing department. Whoever dared to act out of line, then she wouldn’t show mercy.
