The Ex-Husband's Revenge

Chapter 227

"Mister Mercer's right!"

"Mister Wolf has caused the company such tremendous losses. He needs to be terminated!"

"At the same time, we need to make sure to keep our right to pursue this in court!"

The executives were all in a furious uproar.

"Leon, what do you have to say for yourself?!" Iris forced her anger down.

"I… have nothing to say. This is all my fault, and I'm willing to bear with any punishment…" Leon said bitterly.

He could still not understand how an illegal substance somehow appeared in the product. He did not know if it was due to his own mistakes or any other reasons.

However, he knew something very well. This time, he was in charge of the production, so it was hard for him to avoid any responsibility!

That was not the critical part. The most important part was that he felt like he betrayed Iris's expectations. He regretted it deeply, and could not face Iris.

All he could do was muster up the courage to take responsibility like a man so Iris would not get angrier.

However, he did not know that. The more he did so, the angrier Iris got!

"Alright, you said this yourself! Then I'll grant you your wish!" Iris was so furious she started to smile. She lost her rationality.

Seeing Leon accept the punishment and anger Iris, both Ashwin and Michael were incredibly happy.

Yet, before they could celebrate, Ariel suddenly said, "Miss Young, please calm down!"

"Calm down? The matter has already escalated so much, how am I supposed to calm down?!" Iris clenched her teeth, almost burning Ariel with the flames of her anger.

Ariel was not intimidated at all, "Iris, please think about this! Leon hasn't even been in the company for even a month! He's not part of the industry, how could he know what isobutylparaben is?! Even if he made a mistake, you can't put all the blame on him!"

"That…" Iris was startled and finally thought about things more clearly.

She knew that Ariel was right. Leon did not know anything. Even if he was responsible, it was not as bad.

It was just that she was completely blinded by her anger just now, pinning all the blame on Leon!

Ashwin's expression changed as he realized something was wrong. He immediately said, "Miss Summers, what's the meaning of this? Are you going to protect Leon and try to deflect the blame just because he's your boyfriend?"

"Mister Mercer, listen well! First, what I said was just the truth, I wasn't trying to push the responsibility away from Leon! Secondly, let me emphasize this again. Leon's not my boyfriend. I do not need to protect him!" Ariel said coldly. NôvelDrama.Org content.

"What a joke! Everyone in the company knows that he's your boyfriend. Do you think everyone will believe your deflections!?" Ashwin sneered.

"I believe it! Ariel's not Leon's girlfriend, there's no way she would protect Leon!" Iris said calmly.

She was the one who knew about Leon and Ariel's relationship the most. Initially, Ariel even hated Leon.

There was no way she would believe that Ariel tried to protect Leon.

"That…" Ashwin was dumbfounded. He started to look uncertain, unable to tell if Iris was speaking the truth.

Iris already regained her calm at that moment. She was not in the mood to continue exchanging words with Ashwin. She looked right at Guido, "Mister Boyd, you're the one who holds the highest power in the first factory. You're in charge of production there! Mister Wolf might not know what isobutylparaben is, but how could you not?!"
