"Sean!" Caden Lockwood raised his voice, his eyes icy cold. "Bring out all the evidence and let the chairman take a look."

Sean Ashton, standing at the office door, immediately walked in, holding a brown paper envelope, and handed it over to James Lockwood.

Shannon Dunn looked at Caden Lockwood in disbelief, clearly unable to believe that he actually had evidence.

"I said before, I wouldn’t touch you not because I couldn’t, but because I was too lazy to." Caden Lockwood’s tone was as cold as if it emerged from an ice cellar. "Since you wouldn’t listen to warnings and insisted on your own way, this is the consequence."

Looking at the ruthless Caden Lockwood, Shannon Dunn’s legs went weak, nearly collapsing to the ground.

Just moments ago, she thought nothing could take her down—had Caden Lockwood already caught her weakness?

But without the evidence in front of her, Shannon Dunn reminded herself inwardly not to fall apart just yet.

"Miss Shannon Dunn has exploited her position at Lockwood Group to benefit her own company. Not only did she poach our clients, but she also embezzled public funds and carried out many actions harmful to Lockwood Group in secret," Sean Ashton spoke softly. "All the evidence has been gathered, Chairman, you can take a look."

"Chairman," Caden Lockwood’s lips curled into a profound smirk, "you actually promoted someone like this, isn’t it going to make you a laughingstock if it gets out?"

James Lockwood’s face darkened as he looked at the evidence Sean Ashton handed him, listing out everything Shannon Dunn had done.

"Chairman," Shannon Dunn panicked, "it’s not true! I can explain many things!"

"Explain?" James Lockwood sneered, "Shannon Dunn, in all your years working at my company, haven’t I treated you well?"

"These... really aren’t true..." Shannon Dunn shook her head nervously. "Chairman! Please believe me and give me one day; I will provide evidence proving I have nothing to do with this, it’s all a misunderstanding!"

"Miss Shannon Dunn," Sean Ashton said coldly, "all the evidence has been found, and you’re still arguing? All this time, you’ve been suppressing our boss’s wife, and it’s only because our boss’s wife is kind that she didn’t hold it against you."

"Oh?" Caden Lockwood feigned surprise. "Shannon Dunn, you bullied my wife?"

Shannon Dunn inwardly grieved, knowing full well Caden Lockwood had orchestrated all of this but still acted oblivious.

Would he only be satisfied when he forced her out of the company?

"Mr. Lockwood, I..."

"Is that so?" Caden Lockwood didn’t listen to Shannon Dunn’s explanation but instead asked Evelyn Morgan, "Did she bully you?"

Facing Caden Lockwood’s cold and sharp gaze, Evelyn Morgan felt a chill down her spine. Looking at Shannon Dunn and James Lockwood’s glaring eyes, she pressed close to Caden Lockwood, seeking a sense of security.

Evelyn knew that her answer was crucial.

She needed to think clearly and carefully before responding.

She didn’t want to be a doormat, pretending to speak for Shannon Dunn at a time like this.

Doing so would make Evelyn feel disgusted with herself.

However, she couldn’t just give a straightforward answer either.

In that instant, Evelyn already knew what to do.
