Rebirth: Revenge of the abandoned heirress-Chapter 52: She would instal Corpses in Tang Enterprise!
Chapter 52 - She would instal Corpses in Tang Enterprise!
Caroline Anderson was crying. Her face had a handprint on it. Her father had slapped her the moment she entered his study.
"Why can't you learn from your cousins? Have you ever seen them take such a stupid step like this?"
"But Father, she insulted me. Which means she insulted the Anderson family."
"Shut up!" President Anderson didn't know how to get the situation under control. "Tell me truthfully. Did you get those people killed?"
Caroline Anderson's eyes widened.
"No, Father. I didn't," she cried. "Father, even you would ask that? Don't you trust me?"
"The stupidity you have done... I am ashamed to say that you are even my daughter. Not only have you ruined your reputation to the point of no return, but you've also damaged your profession. We all want the same thing—to bring Jazmine Harrison down. But have you ever seen any one of us take such irrational measures? If she could be defeated like that, we would have defeated her long ago."
Caroline Anderson was really giving him a headache. Why couldn't she be like David Anderson?
Caroline Anderson sobbed. She didn't dare raise her voice in objection in front of her father.
"You know what is going to happen next? The drama you created in the restaurant—everybody is going to think it was you who did that. It is not a single murder that can be resolved easily. It is a massacre. The whole media, from all around the world, has been watching closely."
"F-Father..." Caroline Anderson was scared. "It must be Jazmine Harrison. She must have done it to frame me!"
President Anderson couldn't tell if it was Jazmine Harrison or not. He wouldn't say anything with certainty without carrying out an investigation. But it could be a possibility that it was Jazmine Harrison's scheme. After all, Jazmine Harrison couldn't cause any serious damage to Caroline Anderson unless she took extreme measures. She knew that. Relying on her sources, she couldn't harm Caroline Anderson when Caroline Anderson had the Anderson family behind her in any other way.
Such a malicious wench! President Anderson was determined to make her pay. But right now, they were in a dangerous position.
"Listen carefully. Tomorrow, I want you to post a formal apology to Frank and Jazmine Harrison on your official account. Give whatever excuses you can. But apologize to them both and end this drama before they take their next step and ruin you completely."
"Father, no! I won't apologize to her."
How could Caroline Anderson bear to humble herself in front of Jazmine Harrison? She would rather die than apologize to her!
"You want to save your profession? Then do what I ask of you. Do it before they make their next move, or else I'll immediately send you abroad and have your contract dissolved."
On their way to the Tang Enterprise
"Who could it be? Was it Caroline Anderson?" Emily Carrol voiced what everyone was thinking.
"I don't think it was her." Jazmine Harrison looked at Lucian Smith, who was dipping his head into a strange device in his lap. "Did they let you into the security room?"
"Using President's name, I managed to slip into the room easily. But I had to disconnect my device soon. I didn't want them to get suspicious."
"Would I have to get you into the security room again?"
"No, I've more than enough data. I've already started the process to recover the files. Soon, the face of the murderer will be revealed."
"But that wouldn't get us the real culprit behind it, would it?"
"No, but it'll sure give us a lead."
Jazmine Harrison waited for Lucian Smith to finish his job while she contemplated all the possibilities in her mind. It was not Caroline Anderson behind the murders. Jazmine Harrison was sure of it. Caroline Anderson didn't have a strong motive.
But why would someone else even want to target those innocent chefs?
What could they have possibly done to make a powerful force kill them?
Maybe they knew something that would be threatening to the person who wanted them dead.
No matter how hard she thought, she couldn't come up with any other possible reason to have them all targeted at once. Even if one or two of them had offended someone, there was no need to kill them all. So that was not a possibility.
The person behind it obviously wanted to silence them all.
But what could they have known?
Food... Drinks...
And suddenly, an idea struck Jazmine Harrison's mind: Poison.
"Emily Carrol, note this down. Later, I want you to go through the list of guests in the restaurant and check if any one of them died or... ended up in the hospital. Also, run an investigation on the restaurant's previous owner."
The man was suspicious.
As to how he willingly sold such a high-functioning restaurant to her at a relatively low price—this had always unsettled Jazmine Harrison.
He could have easily sold it at a higher price.
No one would have gone for what he did unless he had seen a greater profit in this choice.
There was obviously a reason.
Jazmine Harrison was becoming more convinced that reason was connected to the murders.
Jazmine Harrison walked straight to her office after sending away Emily Carrol to search for the records.
On her way, she could feel a strange atmosphere lingering in the air, as if a ghost had just passed through the lobby.
All the employees were strangely quiet and extensively focused on their tasks, as if suddenly, the ghost would appear from a corner and catch them red-handed if they dared to slack.
Weird.
Did something happen while she was away?
They all must have heard about the murders, but that should have made them more gossipy and noisy. Why the opposite effect?
She wanted to find out that method and exploit it to make her employees work that diligently.
She made a mental note to later ask Emily Carrol to investigate it.

If it was the murders that had scared them into diligence, she would install corpses in Tang Enterprise to make them work like this!
Jazmine Harrison walked into her office and went straight for the documents, but she was halted midway when she noticed someone sitting in her office chair.
"Who is it?"
Who dared to enter her office at will?!
The chair turned around to reveal a familiar face.
