When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 837: The Truth Behind the Incident

In fact, those seated in the conference room at the moment are mostly key members, while the ones discussing these gossip stories are low-level employees.

However, anyone in the company can be caught up in this storm; even if they don’t discuss it, they’ve heard it—today something happened with Jasmine Quinn, involving Secretary Sherman.

Chase Fletcher is fiercely protective of his wife.

At this point, in all the Fletcher Group’s conference rooms, surveillance footage is clearly displayed on the screens.

Jasmine Quinn and Secretary Sherman are in the frame; it’s unclear what they are talking about, but Jasmine Quinn is consistently provocative, while Secretary Sherman seems very composed.

When President Fletcher appears in the surveillance footage, everyone holds their breath. Soon, they see Jasmine Quinn pour a glass of water over herself!

This is silent surveillance footage, yet the piercing scream can be heard through the screen.

Everyone in the conference rooms watching this scene is dumbfounded.

She poured it herself?

So ruthless?

Watching her fall to the ground convulsing in pain, all the conference rooms are buzzing with discussions—

"Doing something like this in front of surveillance, how does she dare to frame someone?"

"This is too harsh; it looks painful."

Rachel Sherman did not know that Chase Fletcher was orchestrating a video conference to reveal the truth of the incident.

She came out of the restroom and inadvertently overheard the discussions outside—

"Secretary Sherman, using her status as the president’s wife, actually poured boiling water on Jasmine Quinn. How will she explain this to her in-laws?"

"Exactly, I heard Jasmine Quinn is a connected person, known for her arrogance. Everyone knows her father and the chairman are comrades—those bonds are precious."

Two female employees unintentionally glanced around and spotted Rachel Sherman, causing a momentary panic inside.

Rachel calmly told them, "I didn’t pour water on her; she did it herself."

Naturally, no one dares to provoke the president’s wife, so the two female employees quickly turned away, leaving Rachel alone.

Just watching their hastily retreating figures, she sighed gently, turned to the washbasin, and splashed some water on her face.

She told herself that these are the burdens of her status.

With gain comes loss; being at the top is lonely.

In the president’s office, Chase Fletcher replayed the surveillance footage twice, observing everyone’s reactions—shock and sighs.

His expression remained grim, as if it could drip water.

"So ruthless?"

"Unbelievable, what kind of grudge is this?"

"Driven mad out of anger? This kind of framing might even leave scars."

Shutting off the surveillance video, Chase Fletcher appeared on the screens in all the conference rooms, sitting in front of the camera, solemnly addressing everyone—

"I don’t want to hear anyone slandering Secretary Sherman anymore. That’s right, she is my wife; we are already registered, although we haven’t held a wedding. Originally, it wasn’t intended to be made public because love is private, and this is a company." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Everyone hearing this news is again deeply shocked—officially announced! A firsthand confirmation, how can it be false?

"Now, I just want to protect her." Chase Fletcher expressed concern, with a grave expression, "I won’t allow anyone to slander her! Defame her!"

Outside the office, Rachel Sherman heard Chase Fletcher’s earlier words and paused.

Through the glass door, she can vaguely see him sitting at the desk, looking so severe—

"If you doubt Secretary Sherman’s character, you’re questioning my judgment, Chase Fletcher’s judgment!"

His few simple words were very powerful—

"Regarding today’s incident with Jasmine Quinn, I have laid the facts before you. I don’t want to hear any more discussions on this matter! Who is right or wrong is no longer important; do your jobs well and avoid causing trouble!"

Rachel was slightly stunned—is he holding a video conference? His attitude wouldn’t be like this with Ben Fletcher.
