Thousands of Brilliant Stars: You Deserve the Best!-Chapter 71: Just Spoil Her Like That!

"Ah!!!"

The surrounding colleagues let out a scream.

Roxanne Young was stunned by the blow, the sharp pain brought her back to her senses, and she instinctively went to yank Iris Crawford’s hair, "You bitch, what are you trying to do in broad daylight at the company!"

"I’m beating you up!" Iris Crawford wasn’t someone to mess with, and Roxanne Young was no match for her. In no time, she dodged Roxanne Young’s grasp, and with a swift move, twisted both of Roxanne Young’s arms behind her back, pinning her onto someone else’s desk.

That was a move cops use to subdue thieves, yet Iris Crawford was using it on Roxanne Young!

Roxanne Young had never been humiliated like this before. It’s the 21st century, how could anyone still be so rough, skipping the talk and just using a takedown move?

"Let me go!"

"Let go?"

Iris Crawford sounded as if she heard a joke, and called out, "Leo Langdon!"

Leo Langdon, who had been watching from the side, was suddenly called out by name and immediately stepped forward, "I’m here."

"Get the surveillance footage!"

When Iris Crawford ordered Langdon, the people around didn’t realize anything was unusual, not until Langdon went with the security to fetch the footage did they suddenly react, damn, usually, it was Young Master Wyatt giving such orders, but today... it was Iris Crawford!

The main point was, when Iris Crawford gave the order, a whole big crowd of people didn’t find it strange at all!

As soon as Roxanne Young heard that Iris Crawford wanted to check the surveillance, her face changed instantly, and she suddenly struggled hard, "You think you can just check the surveillance when you want? In such a big company, you don’t follow procedure, you think you’re the one in charge here?"

Iris Crawford looked at Lachlan Wyatt.

The result was Lachlan Wyatt raised his chin and said, "It’s fine, today you’re in charge."

The whole room was shocked!

The executives nearby had their mouths agape, how could President Wyatt be so easy-going this time? Everyone in the company knew Lachlan Wyatt was moody and unpredictable, although he was handsome, his presence was so strong it made the whole company even if they had thoughts about him, not dare to show it——only Iris Crawford, boldly treading on the razor’s edge, while restraining Roxanne Young, even casually said to the executives, "Manager Carter, could you please call the police for me, I suspect someone has stolen my USB drive."

Manager Carter, the middle-aged man who had just been trying to get Iris Crawford to do a fortune telling, immediately took out his phone, "Let’s get the surveillance footage first, and hand it over to the police later, we can’t have people with sticky fingers in the company!"

Being labeled as having sticky fingers, Roxanne Young couldn’t afford to take that hit!

She just wanted to play a trick to embarrass Iris Crawford, she never expected it to escalate into involving the police, she couldn’t even imagine such an outcome!

Cold sweat dripped from her forehead, this was something the department supervisor had egged her on to do, it just so happened she wanted to vent her anger and regain some face from Iris Crawford, which is why she resorted to such despicable actions, she just wanted to teach Iris a lesson, it was never about actually stealing anything!

Held down by Iris Crawford, Roxanne Young cried to the department supervisor, "Supervisor, help me, they’re being unreasonable, supervisor..."

The supervisor panicked by being called out, if she ratted him out too, it would affect his career! To protect himself, the supervisor who had been in cahoots with Roxanne Young immediately distanced himself, "I didn’t do such things, it’s your own doing, how can I possibly help you!"

"Supervisor!"

Roxanne Young’s face turned pale, "I wrote your son’s essay, didn’t I? You asked Iris Crawford to do it, she didn’t, it was me who helped you. How can you turn a blind eye now, supervisor?"

The moment he heard Roxanne Young say this, the supervisor became furious and said, "Don’t pin this on me! It sounds like I’m exploiting you, which is entirely different, you volunteered to write for my son! Anyway, it wasn’t me, don’t think you can drag me down with you!"

Roxanne Young’s heart went cold, by his tone, was he intending to sell her out?

"You’re the one who wanted to give Iris a hard time, and when she didn’t eat your crap, you held a grudge against her!" Determined, Roxanne Young shouted, "That’s why you ordered me to do this! You’re a man without any responsibility, pushing off blame like this when trouble arises! You were clearly waiting to watch the spectacle!"

Iris Crawford realized now, no wonder the supervisor looked at her that way before the meeting, he was waiting to see her embarrassed.

"I didn’t steal, President Wyatt, you have to believe me, I—"

Lachlan Wyatt stood there, squinting with a smile, clearly smiling, but the pressure around him made people shiver, "Continue, go on."

Just having Iris Crawford there was enough to lure out so many with ill intentions, it was an eye-opener for him. Normally this group of employees seemed well-behaved, now that Iris was there, their true monstrous and ghostly natures unveiled!

Plotting under his nose to frame and exploit employees, he really needed to make an example of someone!

Roxanne Young was so frightened her legs gave way, Iris Crawford let her go, gave a cold chuckle, and pushed her into the middle of everyone’s view, "Explain yourself, what did you do?"

"I just wanted to teach you a lesson..." Roxanne Young took out Iris Crawford’s USB drive from her pocket, Leo Langdon immediately took it and checked it, finding its contents the same as what he reviewed for Iris in the morning, confirming the USB’s contents, he looked up, "President Wyatt, it is indeed this one. This is Miss Crawford’s USB drive."

"Why is it with you?" Lachlan Wyatt’s voice carried a commanding tension, "Stealing things? You come to work, and start stealing things?!"

Roxanne Young shivered, "No, Young Master Wyatt, listen to my explanation, I just... I just wanted to see Iris embarrassed in front of everyone, I never thought it would escalate into this, involve theft, I..."

"You want to frame me, yet you lack legal knowledge yourself." Iris Crawford crossed her arms over her chest. "Although this USB drive itself isn’t particularly valuable, the data inside it is a different matter. If the information in this PowerPoint gets leaked, it would be like revealing our company’s entire quarter’s worth of secrets to the competitors, wouldn’t it? Roxanne Young, if you’re going to frame me, you should choose another method, rather than target the company’s essential documents!"

As the last words landed, Roxanne Young felt like her soul had been yelled out by Iris Crawford. She stepped back half a step, lucky to have a colleague support her, or she wouldn’t be able to stand anymore.

Lachlan Wyatt showed no mercy. After Leo Langdon brought the surveillance footage, Wyatt confirmed in front of everyone the fact that Roxanne Young had stolen, and considering the theft involved company critical documents, how could she be let off lightly?

Wyatt wanted to set an example, and it was impossible to downplay the matter. If such a trend were left to spread, the company would be full of mind games and scheming; who would still work earnestly, striving together?

Roxanne Young could no longer act arrogant, "Iris Crawford, I was wrong. Iris Crawford, forgive me... I won’t set traps for you anymore. It was wrong of me to deliberately assign tasks to you at the beginning, I shouldn’t have bullied the newcomer..."

She saw Iris Crawford wouldn’t stop, so she went up to grab her hand, trying to move her, "I truly didn’t know the content inside the USB was so important, I..."

"You just wanted to harm me." Iris Crawford finished for her, smiling at Roxanne Young, "If I were a little soft-hearted, once this meeting started, I would be nailed to the cross of shame, looked down upon by the entire company. And now you’re begging me?"

Roxanne Young watched Iris Crawford slowly withdraw her hand, as if taking away her last hope, "Iris Crawford, you can’t be this ruthless as a person, we are still colleagues, we will meet again in the future..."

"Meet again? Who would gladly see you? You’ve got a ten-day tour to the detention center!" Iris Crawford flung her off fiercely, laughing uproariously, "As long as I have no morals, no one can manipulate me with them. Officer! She’s here!"

With Iris Crawford’s report, the police arrived to investigate, the entire process was swift and efficient.

Roxanne Young wailed as she was taken away by the police for investigation, after all, it involved company secrets, making it a serious affair. The department manager, who hadn’t been taken away, recalled instructing her, suddenly feeling guilty and not knowing where to look.

He had to... find a place to hide, lest Iris Crawford finds out and remembers something.

Lachlan Wyatt, impartial and principled, shocked a group of employees nearby; this event served as a warning to everyone. Manager Carter was beside with a disappointed shake of the head, "When did the company start having so many people with such crooked intentions!"

Iris Crawford remained expressionless, "Manager Carter, you initially said it’s not suitable for a woman to lead a meeting."

Manager Carter immediately flashed an accommodating smile, "Oh, I was wrong, I was being narrow-minded, don’t be angry, how about this, I’ll bring my nephew’s birthdate to you tonight, you can help me calculate..."

Iris Crawford jutted her chin, "Don’t feel like it!"

The dignified General Manager Carter, trailing behind Iris Crawford, "Don’t be like that Crawford, we can talk... Where are you unhappy, I’ll make it up to you. How about this, it’s getting cold, I’ll give you a few pounds of hairy crabs, they’re plump and fat, some clients just gave them to me!"

Iris Crawford seized the opportunity and displayed her slender fingers, gazing at the beautiful red nails, seemingly admiring them, "Only hairy crabs?"

"..." Leo Langdon, while assisting the police with evidence, wiped away cold sweat, witnessing for the first time an audacious woman like Iris Crawford. What if she enrages Manager Carter, who’s a general manager? Doesn’t she know when to stop?

And then he heard Manager Carter say, "How about, how about I introduce my nephew to you, he’s really handsome..."

Iris Crawford’s eyes sparkled, "Really?"

Lachlan Wyatt smiled wryly from the side, "His nephew is Jeremy Carter," the banker.

Iris Crawford rolled her eyes, "Forget it!"

Manager Carter frowned, "Crawford, you’re making me worry about your future marital happiness."

Iris Crawford returned to her workstation, turned on the computer, and adeptly entered her password, then smiled at Manager Carter, "It’s none of your business!"

"How disrespectful to the elderly." Manager Carter mumbled while thinking this young girl was intriguing, "I’m older than you."

"Acting like an elder. My marriage has nothing to do with you, no need for your concern." Iris Crawford said, "I’m younger than you, don’t you know to respect the young?"

"..." Manager Carter’s words were blocked by Iris Crawford, he could only turn to Lachlan Wyatt, "Wyatt, you better do something, if she keeps this up, you might not handle it!"

Lachlan Wyatt suddenly laughed, he liked things he couldn’t handle!

The man said helplessly to Manager Carter, "Uncle Carter, don’t provoke her, she responds better to kindness than to force, if someone is hard on her, she’ll be even harder on them. It’s better to coax her."

Heaven and earth, Langdon had never seen the difficult shareholder-cum-general-manager Mr. Carter yield to an employee like this, shaking his head in amazement but also with a hint of admiration for Iris Crawford, "Okay, your young people expressing emotions, I’m too old to understand."

Iris Crawford laughed, "If you’re old, why not let me have the general manager position and I’ll take your place."

Leo Langdon turned pale!

Unexpectedly, Uncle Carter went up and flicked Iris Crawford’s forehead, then withdrew his hands, "We’ll watch and see!"

The whole room was in bewilderment!

Everyone turned to look at Lachlan Wyatt, aren’t you going to do something?

Lachlan Wyatt shrugged, "Get back to work, lunch break is almost over."

... Just spoil her, then!
