The Unbreakable Bond By Cornelia Darwin

Chapter 23

The security guards all felt chagrined after hearing Leonardo’s words.

They had a low salary. They would have a difficult time this months if their bonuses were deducted. But they didn’t care to plead for mercy. Everyone understood that the CEO of Brooks Group was untouchable and that pleading for mercy would be futile. The more they pleaded, the harsher the punishment

They had no choice but to accept the punishment.

To their surprise, Rosalind, whom they had tried to kick out, suddenly spoke.

“Please don’t. They were ordered to do so. It has nothing to do with them. You shouldn’t have punished them!”

A security guard nearest to Rosalind almost tried to rush over and cover her mouth.

He was afraid Leonardo would deduct their two–month barus after she begged mercy for them,

The other security guards also had the same thought. They even doubted if Rosalind had deliberately begged mercy for them to have their bonuses withheld to exact retribution.

As the saying goes, women were vicinus and as despicable as petty men.

“Well, when did you become so kind?” Leonardo didn’t expect Rosalind to beg for mercy for those bodyguards,

“I’m not kind, I’m just telling the truth. Can your men not listen when you give them an order? If they don’t listen, you’ll deduct their bonuses, won’t you?” Rosalind argued.

Jacob Woods, who was next to Leonardo, nodded unconsciously.

He thought Amanda indeed knew Leonardo very well. As Leonardo’s assistant, he was often threatened with having his bonuses deducted by his boss.

He was glad that someone finally saw Leonardo’s true color.

“Am I that type of boss who threatens his subordinates with the bonus?” Leonardo retorted.

Leonardo turned around and noticed Jacob’s movements. His eyes darkened a little and his cold stare rendered Jacob motionless.

“Of course not. Mr. Brooks is the most reasonable boss in the world,” Jacob hurriedly blurt out.

Jacob was afraid that his honus would be deducted if he was slow to answer.

Leonardo raised his eyebrows with satisfaction and then looked at Rosalind.

“Since

ourwork!”

you ve pleaded mercy for them, forget about the punishment, Get back to your

Everyone looked at Leonardo in shock, and even Rosalind was a little stunned.

She just thought that the security guards‘ pay was low and they had to support their families. There was no need to deduct their bonuses for such a small matter. She simply felt it was unjust, and she didn’t expect Leonardo to change his mind.

She was shocked when Leonardo changed his mind.

“What? Are you not happy with that?” Leonardo said a little angrily, glancing at the security guards.

He wondered why they were staring at him so oddly. Was he such a dictatorial person in their hearts that he didn’t allow others to express themselves?

If the people around Leonardo knew what was on his mind, they would nod and say yes.

They had no idea what Leonardo was thinking, and all they knew was that he wouldn’t deduct ther bonuses,

Seeing that Leonardo was angry, they nodded hurriedly.

“No.”

“Of course not

“Go back to your work now!” Leonardo demanded.

As soon as Leonardo gave his order, all the security guards Immediately scattered, fearing that Leonardo would get back on his word again.

Rosalind didn’t know whether to cry or to laugh but Virginia gritted her teeth in rage.

She thought, “Why did Leonardo still listen to licsalind that woman after they had divorced? Didn’t he dislike her?”

L

She believed Rosalind was a cunning and shameless b’ion.

Hasalind naturally noticed the expression on Virginia’s lace, but the former didn’t care.

Led by Leonardo, Rosalind entered Brooks Group.

Except for Virginia, the other Brooks Group senior executives all seemed to believe that cooperating with BUT Group would be a win–win, therefore

everything went smoothly.

Only Virginia couldn’t bear to see Rosalind talking and laughing in front of her

She was supposed to stand next to Leonardo instead of Rosalind.

Rosalind’s eyes were filled with triumph and contempt every time she looked at Virginia,

Virginia couldn’t stand it.

Virginia couldn’t take it when Rosalind got all the compliments instead of her. Therefore, Virginia stormed off even before entering Brooks Group.

Without Virginis around, Rosalind felt so comfortable.

She came to Brooks Group today with the intention of meeting all of Brooks Group’s senior executives as Amanda rather than Rosalind.

During the three years of marriage with Leonardo, she had never been to Brooks Group once, and no one in Brooks Group knew her.

It was ironic that she was introduced to the senior executives of Brooks Group as Amanda.

When they arrived at the Department of Information Technology, they saw that the staff looked solemn and paced around the room anxiously.

Seeing an employee walk past her with a bitter expression on his face, Rosalind stopped him and asked curiously, “What happened? Why are you so anxious?”

The employee looked haggard, with bloodshot eyes and unkempt hair. If he wore a pair of slippers, he might look like a typical programmer.

He must have stayed up all night. What the hell had happened?

When the employee looked up, he saw a woman with a bright smile and delicate makeup, which brightened his mood. Rosalind’s friendly demeanor and sweet smile led him to believe she was his new coworker, and the programmer couldn’t help but grumble.

“Someone messed up our official website again. I don’t know how many times they have done this.”

“Did the hacker paralyze our official website?” Rosalind raised her eyebrows and didn’t believe hackers could invade the official website of Brooks Group

“They didn’t paralyze our website. It’s just…”

The progammer looked around and saw no leaders, so he used his cell phone to access Brooks Group’s official website.

“I don’t know who Mr. Brooks has offended. The hacker didn’t paralyze the website but instead posted a photo with a few words, I dare not read it. Read it yourself

Hearing this, Rosalind glanced down at the phone he was holding.

Her jaw almost dropped when Rosalind saw the words.

There was a photo of a slag heap on the official website of Brooks Group. There were also some shining words next to it [Leonardo, you resemble this slag heap. Ha–ha!]

Didn’t they scold Leonardo for being a scumbag?

was so cute.

Rosalind wondered if the hacker was into the funny stuff and thought he was

“You just said that someone was messing up again. Isn’t this the first time?”

Rosalind remembered that the programmer said “again” when they met just now.

“Yes. It had happened several times before. The photos they posted were much more revolting. It was a steaming pile of poo last time with similar words like this,” the programmer replied.

Rosalind’s beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and then she burst into laughter.

She thought the hacker was brilliant to compare Leonardo with a pile of steaming pou.

Rosalind really wanted to know this hacker because he did what she wanted but didn’t.
