Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2853 - 2001: Rumors Are a Blade

At the Zhenbei Group headquarters, after the highest-level meeting held in the morning, rumors spread throughout the week.

No one knew the source of the rumors, nor how they spread, but the momentum grew increasingly fierce.

A week later, one day, Caroline went to find the administrative supervisor. As she walked through a secluded corridor, she heard someone whispering around the corner.

Some words reached her ears, causing Caroline to furrow her brows slightly and stop to listen.

Robert, who was serving as Caroline’s personal secretary, saw Caroline’s unusual expression and immediately wanted to go over and grab the people spreading the gossip.

Caroline raised her hand to stop Robert, focusing her attention on listening further.

Robert also quickly motioned to the people around him to keep silent.

The two people gossiping behind the scenes were completely unaware of anyone nearby and continued to speak enthusiastically.

"...I’m telling you, the two major shareholders behind Golun International are actually controlled by Vice Chairman Morgan’s family. Adding the shares Vice Chairman Morgan’s family already had in Golun International, you tell me who Golun International actually belongs to."

"Of course, it’s Vice Chairman Morgan!"

"Exactly! That Golun International Subsidiary in Kajash has done business under the table with the group’s subsidiary companies more than once, siphoning off large sums of money. And that’s not counting other places! Just imagine how much wealth Golun International has drained from us. Tsk tsk, do you think Vice Chairman Morgan is unaware of this?"

"According to you, even Mrs. Margery of the Sixth Business Division can’t escape involvement, since the group enterprises on the Kajash side are under her jurisdiction."

"That’s why they say this is a complicated mess! I’m not afraid to say it; people are spreading that this is a premeditated theft of the group’s interests!"

"Shh! Shh! You shouldn’t talk about this carelessly! What you’re saying could be slander!"

"What are you afraid of? I’m telling you, the supervisors are even talking about this; can’t I speak? There’s no surveillance here, and I wouldn’t admit it even if you told on me."

"Get lost, what’s our relationship? Would I report this for any benefit? But it’s gotten to this point, and the group’s higher-ups aren’t intervening; isn’t this allowing indulgence... "

"You don’t get it, do you? Do you know what it means to be in a high position of power, hard to shake? Vice Chairman Morgan, that’s what it means to be a Vice Chairman! Hey, I also tell you, the Caroline family seems to be mingling with Morgan’s family."

"That’s big news!"

Hearing this, Caroline’s eyes narrowed, her gaze flickering.

Seeing this, Robert immediately asked if he should go and catch those two people.

Caroline waved her hand, indicating to continue listening.

"Moreover, let me tell you a big secret that no one else knows." A voice said mysteriously.

"What secret?!" The other voice immediately became somewhat excited.

"Back then, when the old Chairman was still around, Vice Chairman Morgan helped Mrs. Margery a lot without expecting anything in return. Now look at Mrs. Margery, still so charming — imagine what she must have looked like twenty or thirty years ago! After Vice Chairman Morgan’s wife passed away, he never remarried, and Mrs. Margery hasn’t married either all these years. Don’t you see what’s going on?"

"What you’re saying is interesting!"

"Not just that, don’t you think Vice Chairman Morgan and Miss Caroline are also quite close... "

"Wow, now that’s really interesting to think about!"

At this point, even Caroline could no longer listen, furrowing her brows and stepping out decisively.

Dozens of meters away, two female employees were gossiping while eating fruit, talking freely as there was no one else around.

From the identity tags hanging on their chests, it was evident that one was from the administrative department, and the other from the logistics department.

Caroline, expressionless, walked directly towards them, with Robert and others quickly following behind her.

The two female employees, startled by the sound of footsteps, instinctively looked over. Their faces instantly changed when they recognized Caroline.

One was too scared to move, while the other, more agile, turned to run.

"Halt!" Caroline called out in a low, commanding voice, her face stern.

As the President of the North American Division, Caroline had accumulated authority over the years; her outburst of anger and stern command immediately froze the female employee wanting to run.

Caroline passed by them with a grim face, her gaze cutting like a knife across their faces.

The two shrunk in terror as if they were guilty students in front of their teacher.

Caroline paid them no attention, without shouting or reprimanding them, she simply pointed back with her hand as she passed the last one, coldly saying, "Find their supervisors, fire them!"

Robert, keeping up behind her, responded, "Yes!"

The two female employees looked distressed, wanting to plead for mercy but not daring, so they hopelessly lowered their heads and accepted their fate.

Robert signaled someone to take care of this matter and hurriedly followed Caroline again.

Walking a bit further, Caroline’s expression grew uglier, and her steps became heavy.

Faintly, voices began to resound —

"Hey, do you know, I’ve been hearing some rumors lately..."

"It’s about the Oceania side; I’ve heard too..."

"Did you know what was discussed at that high-level meeting a week ago..."

However, as Caroline moved forward, those voices suddenly stopped sharply, leaving the surroundings in silence.

Caroline suddenly paused, and Robert almost collided with her, caught off guard.

Then Caroline let out a thick breath through her nose, narrowing her eyes, coldly saying, "Is the headquarters filled with such vile gossip recently?!"

This not only maligns Vice Chairman Morgan and Mrs. Margery, but also drags her into it!

Spreading rumors that she’s become Vice Chairman Morgan’s woman, what do they take her for?!
