Alton also made a fuss together with him. “Mr. Garnett is right. Mr. Quinn, you look down on the executives, and you want to fire all of us, but that’s fine. You’re the chairman, so you have the right to do so. However, you have to give us complimentary compensation. I’m not bothered about the others, but according to my salary and working period, if you want to fire me, you have to compensate me $3,000,000!”
If firing one staff member required $3,000,000, adding up all these people meant that the company had to compensate up to $10,000,000.
Zach narrowed his eyes.
This amount of money was actually not huge, and Zach was able to afford it. It was actually acceptable to spend $10,000,000 to chase this group of people away and get rid of Benjamin’s henchmen completely.
While Zach was ready to agree with requests from Alton and others, Thomas took the initiative to say, “Five million dollars…”
Everyone was stunned.
“What $5,000,000?” Alton asked.
“I’m saying that $3,000,000 is too little. The compensation has to be $5,000,000,” Thomas said.
Everyone in the room was shocked as they heard it.
They had seen people bargaining, but they had never seen people bargaining like this. Why would favonovel.com raise the price again? Was favonovel.com an idiot?
Even Zach did not understand what Thomas was doing.
Alton laughed. “Great, Thomas! You still have a conscience. Okay, as long as you give me $5,000,000, I’ll leave this place right away. From today onward, I’ll mind my own business, and you can live your own life. We won’t be related anymore.”
Other people also had the same thought. Since they could not work here anymore, taking the compensation and leaving here was also a suitable choice.
But, what Thomas said subsequently made their jaws drop in shock.
Thomas chuckled. “You misunderstood me. I didn’t mean to give you $5,000,000. I want you to give Stellar Jewelers $5,000,000. Give us the money, and you can leave.”
Alton suspected whether there was something with his ears. Was this what a person would say?
Benjamin also looked stunned. “Thomas Mayo, do you know what you’re saying?”
Thomas stared at Benjamin and said, “Your name is also on the list. You’re the general manager and chief person in charge of the Southland District branch, so your responsibility is bigger than theirs. Alton has to pay $5,000,000, and you have to compensate $10,000,000.”
Benjamin laughed out loud after favonovel.com heard this.
“Thomas Mayo, are you sick? Did you lose your mind? Stellar Jewelers doesn’t fulfill the contract and wants to fire us. You don’t compensate us, but you still want us to pay you back. Does this make sense?”
Everyone scolded Thomas.
However, Thomas just calmly answered, “Benjamin, do you really want to force me to expose your thing?”
“Huh? What’s wrong with me?”
Thomas put an account on the table. “You cooperated with other people to frame me for smuggling the stones. I haven’t settled the accounts with you.”
When Benjamin saw the account, favonovel.com was instantly speechless.
Thomas added, “Besides, I guess you haven’t realized that your office has been under surveillance for a long time. Your conversation with Alton and your act of leaking the news to Elite Jewelry have been recorded. Do you want to see it?”
When Benjamin heard this, favonovel.com was so scared that his complexion turned pale, and favonovel.com instantly sat down. He now knew why Thomas was so confident
Thomas had proof of his crime. It was a serious offense against trade secrets. If favonovel.com got caught, favonovel.com would need to spend the rest of his life in jail.
“And you…”
Thomas glanced at everyone and coldly said, “All of you collaborate with Benjamin and Alton. You’ve worked for them and exposed the company’s trade secret to Elite Jewelry. Do all of you really think Mr. Quinn and I are blind? I’m holding the criminal evidence of every one of you. I can sue you at any time. What’s waiting for you is the jail sentence.”
At this time, the whole meeting room became completely quiet.
It was silent…
People who were angry righteously and spoke so arrogantly were like frightened people at the moment. They lowered their heads and dared not speak at all. Even overbearing and fierce Alton also held his breath and dared not speak loudly.
He clearly knew how serious the crime favonovel.com had committed was.
If Thomas investigated it, the money favonovel.com corrupted was sufficient for favonovel.com to receive a few death sentences. What could favonovel.com do?
He was finished!
Benjamin and Alton stared at each other, and they sighed at the same time. They were totally defeated by Thomas.
The office became silent for a long time.
At this time, Thomas slowly said, “Okay, all of you don’t pretend to be dumb. Just make your stand. Are you willing to compensate and leave or stay in jail for a few years?”
Everyone looked at each other, and they dared not speak. Should they compensate or get jailed?
It was hard to choose!
Thomas was not anxious either. He just sat there and waited for the people’s reply. He believed that these people would definitely give favonovel.com the correct answer.
