252: Chapter 252

Chapter 252

"Hmm, they surely will freak out about the news," Henry said. "But I'm not sure about the disgust. Mrs. Woods is a very vital part of this company. Everyone in this company knows how important she is since she can find any manuscript that could make us hundreds of millions."2

Matt didn't believe that Kate was THAT talented. She was a woman who came from a small town. All she did was study and read random books. She shouldn't be as good as many professionals out there. 

But he understood there must be many men whom she had seduced in this place. She was a woman who climbed the ranking so fast there was no other way other than using her pussy.

'Maybe Mr. Grant right here is intimidated by her because she has a lot of support. He must've been fed up by that bitch as well,' Matt concluded. 'He must be James' little brother since they have the same surname and similar-ish face, though this man is a lot more handsome.'

Thus, confident with his assessment, Matt said, "Oh, come on, Sir. We can be honest here. Kate is just a country bumpkin. She is not smart nor a capable woman."

"Oh, really?" Henry's smile was crooked. This man's statement pissed him off. "Then please explain how she could become a Chief Editor. She is also the one who found many new best-selling novels as well."

"How could someone with no taste like her become a great Chief Editor of a publishing company? Of course, with her pussy!" Matt said without a filter. "There must be someone in the company, a man much more capable than her. She must've used his skill to find good books and took all the credit for herself."

Henry's eyes widened.

Veins began to pop out from his neck and temple. He was so angry at Matt that he was ready to pummel this bastard to death.

He put his hands under the desk. He clenched his fists so hard that his nails almost dug into the skin. 

Unfortunately, Matt was so busy thinking up many possibilities of slandering Kate in front of her CEO, so Henry would get on his good side and fire Kate.

Besides, this man seemed young and inexperienced despite his good look. Matt thought that he could at least get some compensation out of this.

Matt shifted his gaze back at Henry after thinking up for too long. Thus, he didn't notice Henry's anger just now. 

"Mr. Grant, I know that you're a new CEO. But you shouldn't be seduced by my wife. Your Big brother ended up getting hopelessly seduced by that slut, and look what happened to him?" Matt said. 

Henry was barely hanging to his last thread of reason right now. He took a deep breath to calm down and said, "This scandal is surely a big one that might affect our sales and company's morale, so what do you think I should do? Do you think I should fire her because of this?"

"Mr. Grant, we both know reading some books is not hard at all. That's why even someone as incompetent as Kate could work here. Why don't you hire someone else, preferably a young woman whose body you can use in the meantime? That's the main function of a woman, right?" 

Matt was satisfied with Henry's reaction. He looked like someone who had been so triggered and was about to unleash his rage. He didn't understand why, but he knew his advice was good, and Mr. Grant would take it. 

"Your suggestion is great. I need to fire my amazing Chief Editor for a mere scandal that her father did more than a decade ago, right?" 

"Yes, Sir," Matt didn't know what was happening in Henry's head right now. But he began to feel hostility from the CEO for no reason. "She needs to be fired and stopped from getting a job elsewhere. So she will know that she shouldn't be messing around with me—I mean, with men, and she shouldn't be less arrogant!"

"Heh, I can't stop her from finding another job. She can even open her own publishing house if she wants, and she will find huge success," Henry sneered. "But let's just say that she will be forced to resign today, so what kind of reward do you want from giving me this information regarding his father's sin?"

Matt was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect Henry to be so cooperative.

He looked around the CEO's office and noticed how lavish this place was. Matt didn't even need to be an interior design connoisseur to know that every piece of furniture in this office must've cost a fortune.

He then looked at Henry Grant, who was obviously a super-rich kid. He must've been born with a diamond spoon.

'I need to set a high price for this information! This is my only chance to be a millionaire without working!' Matt thought. Thus he took a deep breath and named his price, "One million dollars."

Henry was appalled by the request. Of course, he had that kind of money in his account. He had a lot more than that, actually. But he was appalled by this hobo-like guy's shamelessness for asking one million dollars for practically worthless information.

"Do you think the newspaper clip is worth one million dollars?"

"Yes, Sir. Kate has seduced your brother and must've done something to kill him. I think ruining her life is worth one million dollars," Matt said confidently. 

Matt was about to say something even more scandalous about Kate, but Henry suddenly slammed the table before he opened his mouth. Matt jolted out of shock and fear, especially when Henry stared at him with anger glinting in his eyes.

SLAM!

"S—Sir? D—Did I say something wrong?" Matt asked as he tried to bury his neck like a terrified turtle. 

Henry smirked, "No, you're not wrong at all. But I need to call my girlfriend first. I need to hear her opinion about her own layoff."
