Daddy! Come Home for Dinner! Chapter 979

Chapter 979: Chapter 979: Swallowed This Loss_1 Chapter 979: Chapter 979: Swallowed This Loss_1 “If you really want to know, don’t interrupt me.” Peggy Lewis said coldly.

Elijah Hernandez narrowed his lips.

Clara Evans quickly added: “Yeah, you’d better listen to Peggy finish.

If you still have any issues, just bring them up then.

Right now you’ve only heard her say one thing, you don’t know anything yet.

No need to rush and argue.”
Thanks to Wallace Martin, Clara Evans was one of the few who knew about the situation.

However, she didn’t know as much about Jacob Zahn’s situation as Manager Thompson and Peggy Lewis did.

But she did know that the problem lay with Jacob Zahn.

If we were to clear everything up, Jacob Zahn is the one who would be embarrassed.

Clara Evans was now clear that because of this, there was no chance Jacob Zahn would be promoted.

Peggy Lewis’s promotion was practically a sure bet now.

Hence, Clara Evans was no longer afraid of offending Jacob Zahn.

Even though she didn’t know exactly what Jacob Zahn had done wrong.

But the fact that the CEO of Majestic wanted to replace Jacob Zahn meant that Jacob Zahn must have caused a significant issue.

When everything comes out in the open, it was uncertain if Jacob Zahn would even remain at the company.

So, Clara Evans wasn’t scared at all right now.

Peggy Lewis nodded at Clara Evans, guessing that Clara Evans knew something.

Peggy Lewis then said, “Clara’s right.

Wait until I’ve said everything.

If you still have questions after that, you can just ask.”
In their department, people not only sided with either Peggy Lewis or Jacob Zahn.

There were also neutral veteran employees.

Joel was one of them.

Joel stepped in to mediate: “Yeah, let’s hear Peggy out first.”
“There could be misunderstandings in this.

It’s better to get the story straight first,” Joel said.

“Yeah, I believe Peggy isn’t the type to steal business opportunities.” Sis Anita said, “We’ve worked together for a long time and we understand each other pretty well.

In all previous large projects, I’ve never seen Peggy steal anything.”
Elijah Hernandez scoffed, “She was never competing for a manager’s position before.”
“Elijah Hernandez, are you finished?!

Do you want to listen or not?

If you don’t want to listen, then don’t ask.

Just say you’re here to scold us and be done with it!” Clara Evans shot back sharply.

“You!” Elijah Hernandez, with his face turning red, took a step towards Clara Evans.

Joel blocked Elijah Hernandez, “All right, all right.

We haven’t even heard the full story, let’s not get worked up.

If she does turn out to be in the wrong, we can get upset later.”
Although Joel was just biding his time until retirement, that didn’t mean he lacked competency.

He had his fair share of achievements.

Just that he had been there a long time, and he didn’t have the heart to compete anymore.

However, when Joel spoke within the department, his words still carried some weight.

At least for now, Elijah Hernandez had temporarily backed off.

Peggy Lewis said, “That’s right, Jacob Zahn’s partnership project with Majestic, is indeed now under my responsibility.”
Before Elijah Hernandez or Tiffany Wagner could interrupt, Peggy Lewis quickly added: “Moreover, this decision was personally made by CEO Lin.”
“The reason being that the means Jacob Zahn employed to secure this cooperation were not above board.

As for what means Jacob Zahn used, I know.

If certain people push too hard, I won’t mind exposing it.”
“Right now, I’m not saying anything as a courtesy to everyone’s face.

As for what kind of means were severe enough for the CEO to personally replace someone?” Peggy Lewis said.

“You could think about this: Don’t pressure me and assume that I manipulated things to take over this project.” Peggy Lewis said.

“The leadership would have their considerations.

Although they have not told me what their thoughts are, I speculated that they’re likely worried about the company’s reputation being affected if word of Jacob Zahn’s conduct were to get out, which was why they wanted to replace him.”
“Of course, these are all my guesses.” Peggy Lewis continued, “Whether or not these are what the leadership actually thought, I can’t give a definitive answer.

If you really want to find out, you should ask for yourselves.”
“This is the leadership’s decision, so don’t put me in a tough spot.” Peggy Lewis said lightly.

The crowd looked at one another in stunned silence.

They even couldn’t help but look at Jacob Zahn.

They couldn’t help but wonder what Jacob Zahn did to warrant the CEO directly replacing him?

As they thought further, they realized that before this, Lyke Zhekova had retained the contract for the cooperation.

In other words, Jacob Zahn’s issue had alarmed even Lyke Zhekova.

Good lord!

What exactly did Jacob Zahn do?

“So, are there any more questions?” Peggy Lewis asked coldly.

Elijah Hernandez and Tiffany Wagner were speechless and couldn’t reply.

Seeing this, Jacob Zahn, with a stern face, said: “Peggy Lewis, if you stole my business, you just stole it.

While we might end on bad terms because of this, at least I’d respect you for owning up to it.”
“But you stole my business and are now slandering me, that’s crossing the line.” Jacob Zahn said, “Don’t think just because you’re a woman that I’ll let it go like this, and not stand up for myself!”
Elijah Hernandez also chimed in: “Yes!

You’re just saying things without evidence.

Why should we believe you?

Where’s the proof?”
“Alright then, how about we go see CEO Lin now?” Peggy Lewis proposed.

“Since CEO Lin was the one who made the final decision, let’s ask for his opinion.

Whether I, Peggy Lewis, manipulated the situation or Jacob Zahn was found to have done something underhanded.”
“If you don’t even trust CEO Lin’s words, who would you trust?

Would you rather go directly to Mr.

Houston at Majestic?” Peggy Lewis said.

The mention of Mr.

Houston stunned Jacob Zahn into silence.

So this meant that Peggy Lewis truly knew.

And it seemed that she knew quite a lot!

Now she was using Mr.

Houston to threaten him.

The others were also stunned.

Why did Peggy Lewis not bring up anyone else but Mr.

Houston directly?

It was indeed CEO Lin and Jacob Zahn who dealt with Mr.

Houston before.

So, it made sense.

By this point, everyone dropped speculating on gender relationship angle.

After all, Mr.

Houston was nearly fifty.

There was a significant age difference between him and Jacob Zahn.

Plus, he was married.

So, everyone just couldn’t see it from that angle.

“What are you all doing?” Manager Thompson, coming out of his office and seeing Peggy Lewis surrounded by the crowd, intervened.

Upon hearing his voice, the crowd gave Peggy Lewis some room but did not leave.

However, Jacob Zahn and his group, who had caused a big commotion earlier, fell silent now that Manager Thompson was present.

Peggy Lewis said, “Jacob Zahn, Elijah Hernandez, and Tiffany Wagner are under the impression that I manipulated the situation to take over the cooperation with Majestic that Jacob Zahn was in charge of.

They are currently questioning me.”
Of course, Manager Thompson knew this.

He had heard it all earlier.
