His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 60: Display of Power And Dominance  

Not to mention the secretary, even Zachary, who was standing next to Melody, was terrified.He was also a top student who graduated from a world-renowned school that included political science and law classes.

There was no problem with his English, but the German contract that translated was indeed hard to interpret.He secretly broke out in a sweat because of Melody.

Linda was far too skilled at causing havoc.

He was afraid that Melody was going to make a fool of herself this time.

Melody picked up the document with an uninterested expression and read its contents from top to bottom ina minute.

Flashes of disdain crossed Linda's eyes as she watched Melody's pretentious look.

Not many people knew how to translate the German contract.

If Melody requested a translation draft, she would provide it, but if Melody insisted to put on an act, then Melody shouldn't blame Linda for not giving her a chance.

Melody picked up a pen from the pen holder and signed the document to seal the contract.

Seeing Melody finished singing, Linda's face darkened.

This girl was unsuitable for the position of chairman of the Sullivan Company.

Did she know how important the signature of a family member was? This girl dared to sign without asking anything.

Wasn't she a little too brazen? Since Melody didn't care about its significance, then they couldn't blame Linda for not giving Melody any chance.

Linda pulled out another document from behind her.

It was the translated English version of the German contract.She fixed a cold glance at Melody.

The girl's attitude couldn't get any worse.

"Director Sullivan, this is the translated version.Do you want to take another look?" Linda asked.

Melody snatched the document and glanced at it.

Then, she slowly lifted her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes at Linda.Her tone was sharp.

"Who translated this?"

Linda noticed the sudden shift in Melody's expression.She didn't know why, but her hands went cold and clammy.Her heart hammered inside her chest.She intended to poke fun at her, but now she could only obediently explain.

"Director Sullivan, this is the material that our translation department for German provided us.Is there any problem?"

Melody flipped each page, and when she hit the third page, she flung it to the ground.She cast a cold glance at Linda.Her deep eyes were as cold and sharp as an eagle.

The people around them paled in terror.

Fear crept inside them as soon as she said these words in a deadpan tone, "Your professional German translator even translated the most basic grammar wrong."

Linda rushed to her side to examine the contract.She was quite fluent in eight languages.

Although she wasn't as proficient in German, she could understand a thing or two.She peered at the words that Melody pointed at.

As expected, the translation was wrong.

She was shocked as if someone splashed her a bucket of cold water.She was extremely embarrassed.

To think that she still wanted to assert her power over Melody, but in the end, she even failed to do the most basic supervision work.

Linda failed to humiliate Melody and she was the one shamed instead.Linda realized her immaturity.She acted like a clown when she was already a middle-aged woman, in front of a young girl like Melody.

This was all her fault.She shouldn't scorn others through condescending ways.

In the end, she should own up to her mistakes.

Linda immediately apologized after discovering her error.

She said with high regard, "Director Sullivan, I'm sorry.This is a mistake in my work.I accept the punishment.Please forgive me"

Everyone present in the office was dumbfounded.

Miss Sullivan won against Linda in this battle of dominance.

Initially, everyone expected that Melody would seize the opportunity to befriend Linda over to help her solidify her foothold in this position.

But they never thought that Melody would retaliate against Linda in front of everyone.

She was merciless.

"Your monthly performance contribution has been deducted.Consider it as a punishment” Melody expressed in a casual tone.

The secretary beside Linda chattered her teeth.

She gave a sidelong glance at Linda, anticipating her sudden outbursts.

Unexpectedly, Linda obediently nodded her head without exploding, "Thank you, Director Sullivan.Everyone's jaws dropped at the scene they just witnessed.How did Director Sullivan who was short and puny dominate over Miss Linda who was a terrifying witch? Linda's personality was upright and unyielding, and she couldn't tolerate even a speck of dirt in her eyes.She made a blunder.If Melody didn't chastise her, she would surely look down upon Melody.However, Melody did an admirable thing in putting Linda in her place and that showed her courage even more.Linda stopped displaying her dominance over Melody after the incident.She could see that Director Sullivan was indeed not as simple-minded and lazy as she first thought.

She pulled out another document and handed it to Melody, "Director Sullivan, this is the budget proposal for this month.Please confirm it."

“Mm!"

Melody lazily answered.

Her attitude was very casual, but inside the office, no one dared question her.

After all, everyone had seen her attitude just now.

Even Linda obediently submitted to her.

She was not someone they could afford to provoke.

Melody examined the proposal.

Sullivan family was a large corporation.

There were no incompetent employees under the leadership of her grandfather.

The accounts were clear and organized.

It only took her one glance to confirm it.

Melody squinted her eyes when she noticed something wrong with one of the individual funds.

Linda stopped disregarding Melody anymore. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

It terrified her when she watched the sudden change in the girl's expression and immediately explained the contents.

"Director Sullivan, this is Sir Charles's withdrawal.Last week, he transferred one million to this private account"

Melody frowned in confusion.

"Does he have the right to do that?"

"Director Sullivan, this is what Sir Charles forcibly requested.The financial manager in charge of funding is your uncle.The children of the Sullivan Family have limited funds every month.We made a

consideration that Sir Charles made an advance withdrawal.Currently, it has already exceeded more than three million"

In the past, with their grandfather Alistair around, Charles had been restrained a little.

Every month, it would only be a few tens of thousands, at most a hundred thousand.

After all, Alistair only had one grandson.

Their grandfather turned a blind eye when it came to Charles's funding.

Since the old man was gone, Charles only became increasingly unscrupulous.

He acted like a tyrant of the Sullivan family, relying on the fact that he was the heir.

He also relied on the position of his relatives and used his name to spend and ask for more money without hesitation.

Hearing this, Melody's face darkened with anger.

She ordered Linda, "Inform the HR department that the financial manager is derelict in his duty and I want you to instantly fire him"

With such an order, Linda was horrified.

She just told Melody that the person who was responsible for Charles's funding was their uncle.

Even though Melody was unconcerned about her uncle's position as a financial manager, she should still consider their blood ties.

Linda hesitated for a moment and slowly asked, "Director, are you sure?"

Melody slowly lifted her head.

Her cold gaze fell on Linda and she exuded a menacing aura that paralyzed people to the spot.

"What? Haven't I expressed myself clearly?" Melody replied.

Her seemingly calm voice carried a heavy sense of threat.Linda, despite her experience, was frightened.She responded, "Yes, Director Sullivan.I'll tell HR to issue the order today!"

"If you don't have any orders, we'll leave now’’ Linda continued.

Melody waved her hand.

Linda glided outside with dignity and respect.She quietly closed the office door before leaving.

The secretary patted Linda's chest as soon as they were out the door and asked, "Linda, why is the new director so terrifying and powerful? It doesn't match her age at all."

Linda glanced at the secretary and gave her a look of "who knows".

Linda shuffled the hallway with a mysterious smile plastered on her face.Melody pretended as a naive and foolish woman.But when Linda offended her, she gave an unexpected blow that knocked Linda on her feet.

This girl would shake the Sullivan family to its core.
