Chapter 457: Chapter 457: Two Scoundrels, Drag Them Out
Chloe Lockwood widened her eyes again, what the hell? They’re all calling this troublemaking bitch "President Monroe"? What gives her the right to be called "President Monroe"?
"You all..."
Before Chloe could finish her sentence, Ivana Monroe interrupted her.
"Drag her... and her... out. Yiren Magazine doesn’t need these two losers."
"Yes, President Monroe."
The two security guards listened to Ivana Monroe and immediately went to drag Chloe Lockwood and Eleanor Warren out.
"Let go of me, let go! Are you all crazy? Listening to her? I’m Samuel Lockwood’s sister, the current head of Yiren Magazine, you might not know yet? Ivy Linden was abandoned by Samuel Lockwood, and she left with nothing. If you don’t let me go right now, forget about getting your salary this month."
Chloe was grabbed by a security guard and struggled fiercely, but her strength was nothing compared to the guards’. She could only shout angrily, but the guards ignored her, looking at her mockingly, and forcibly dragged her out of "Yiren Magazine".
Eleanor was also dragged out, feeling a bit flustered. What was happening? Why weren’t the guards listening to Chloe Lockwood? Eleanor had a vague feeling that something was amiss.
Chloe was thrown outside, fuming, rubbing her sore arm and shouting sharply, "You lousy guards are doomed. I definitely won’t pay your salary, even if you beg me."
The security guard’s mouth twitched, tired of listening to her.
"Chloe Lockwood, who do you think you are? Let me tell you, the current head of Yiren Magazine is President Monroe. She has President Linden’s transfer contract. What do you have? Your identity as Samuel Lockwood’s relative?"
"Wh... what?" Chloe was shocked to her core: "Transfer contract? What right does Ivy Linden have to transfer Yiren Magazine? She left with nothing, not even a cent related to Yiren Magazine."
"Shameless, truly shameless. Ivy Linden, that bitch, divorced my cousin, yet still wants to cling to Yiren Magazine? Truly a cheap woman."
"Shut up, I think you’re the cheap woman here. President Linden and Samuel Lockwood were married; even if divorced, she should get half the property. You’re an outsider wanting to take President Linden’s magazine? The shameless one is you."
How disgraceful is that!
Even the security guards felt the same.
"You dare call me shameless? I... I’ll fight you..."
Chloe was enraged by the guard’s insult, having been thrown out earlier. Her face was entirely lost, her arm squeezed painfully. Now, old and new grudges combined, she charged at the guard, but as soon as her fists landed, the guard pushed her to the ground.
"The Lockwood family, not a single one of them is decent, all a bunch of shameless people."
The guard angrily cursed.
When President Linden was around, she treated them well. Now that she’s gone, they absolutely wouldn’t allow anyone from the Lockwood family to bully President Linden.
Previously, Samuel Lockwood seemed okay, but to their surprise, he’s so shameless, divorcing without wanting to give President Linden any property. Truly disgusting and disgraceful behavior.
"Ah~" Chloe fell to the ground, wailing.
The two security guards ignored her and returned to their posts.
Eleanor twisted her fingers, seemingly preoccupied, showing no concern for the fallen Chloe. Now knowing Ivy Linden handed the transfer contract to Ivana Monroe, with Monroe now in charge of Yiren Magazine, she wouldn’t help Chloe anymore.
So regretful.
One wrong step led to all the wrongs.
Is there still a chance if she goes back to admit and apologize now?
Eleanor hesitated whether to go in or not. After all, as a long-time employee at Yiren Magazine, her salary and benefits were quite good. It was for the sake of not losing this job that she catered to Chloe.
"Eleanor, I’m in such pain, help me up."
Chloe cried out to Eleanor.
Eleanor didn’t hear it.
"Eleanor."
Chloe called again, louder this time.
"Huh?"
Eleanor turned around, saw Chloe’s tear-streaked face, full of anger.
"What are you dazed for? Come help me up." Chloe was furious, thinking of her grievances, she started crying again: "I will go back to tell Auntie, they won’t have it easy."
Eleanor had been very resentful towards Chloe, but upon hearing this, her eyes lit up. She went to help Chloe up and asked, "President Lockwood, can you really take Yiren Magazine back from that Ms. Monroe?"
Chloe’s eyes flashed with hatred, and she said with certainty, "Of course, this is the Lockwood family business. Why should it benefit someone like Monroe? Ivy Linden is just a coward, a wimp. She doesn’t dare to come, so she sends someone else."
Ivana Monroe walked into Ivy Linden’s office, where the floor was littered with random materials and a broken porcelain coffee cup.
These must have been Ivy’s.
Ivana’s heart felt bitter. Ivy had just left, and the office was already messed up. If she hadn’t come personally today, Ivy’s things might have all been dragged out and burned by Chloe.
Ivana sighed, bending down to pick up the materials.
"President Monroe, let me handle these things!" Claire Chandler, holding some materials, saw Ivana bending down and felt a bit guilty. If she had hurried to stop Chloe earlier, things might have been different.
"No worries."
Ivana said calmly.
Seeing this, Claire swiftly organized the materials and joined Ivana in picking them up.
Soon, they collected all the materials.
Claire categorized everything on the office table, returning everything to its original place. As she tidied up and reached Ivy’s specialized coffee cup, her eyes reddened: "This was President Linden’s favorite coffee cup, broken by Chloe Lockwood. If President Linden sees it, she will definitely be sad."
Ivana listened and went to Claire’s side, patting her shoulder: "I think I saw this kind of coffee cup at the supermarket. I’ll buy one and bring it back. Just act like nothing happened today."
She paused: "Also don’t tell Ivy about today’s happenings."
Claire nodded: "Yes, President Monroe, I understand. President Linden and Samuel Lockwood’s divorce is troubling enough; I won’t add the magazine’s problems to her worries."
Ivana smiled, impressed by Claire’s quick understanding.
Ivana left "Yiren Magazine," driving to a supermarket to buy Ivy Linden’s favorite coffee cup.
After visiting several supermarkets, she didn’t find an identical one, so she drove to a further supermarket hoping for better luck.
And indeed.
This time Ivana was lucky and found the exact same coffee cup. Just as she reached for it, a man’s hand took it instead.
The man wore a baseball cap and a mask, hiding his face. From his clothing, she could see he was quite young.
"Sir, this coffee cup is very important to me. Could you let me have it?"
Ivana politely asked.
