A Bride’s Revenge: No Longer The Back Up Novel

Chapter 82 Upon hearing this , Gwens eyes widened .

Ariana ! What do you mean by that ? Everyone turned to look at Ariana .

Seeing this , John stepped forward and said , Ms.

Torrey , youre still young .

Mrs.

Torrey is only trying to look out for the companys best interests .

Before John could finish , Ariana cut him off .

Mr.

Wagner , of all people in this room , youre the last one who should be defending her .

Ms.

Torrey , what … What do you mean by that ? John asked , clearly confused .

Ariana smiled coldly .

I understand that family matters should remain private , and I had originally intended to tolerate this for Ms.

Lamberts sake .

But youve all become so shameless , taking advantage of my patience .

And now , you have the audacity to demand the company from me ? Ariana ! Youre going too far ! Gwen protested , but Ariana merely gave Anna a subtle look .

Anna tapped a few keys on the computer , and the office surveillance footage appeared on the screen .

The footage revealed John and Gwen in the midst of a passionate , secret affair at the office desk .

Everyone in the room was visibly shocked .

Many of the employees present had been loyal to Carson , and seeing the widow of their former boss behave so inappropriately with another man , their faces reflected expressions of disgust .

The affair between Gwen and John had been an open secret within the company for some time .

While most employees were aware of it , the higher ups had remained in the dark .

Gwens face went pale as she watched the video .

Pointing at Ariana , she could barely form a coherent sentence .

You … You ! Actions have consequences , Ms.

Lambert .

My father never did anything to wrong you .

If you wanted a divorce and to stop being Mrs.

Torrey , all you had to do was ask .

There was no need for this despicable behavior .

Arianas voice was cold .

Gwens face turned ashen , and John was so terrified that he nearly crumpled to his knees .

Ms.

Torrey ! Ms.

Torrey , it was just a momentary lapse in judgment ! A brief mistake ! A momentary lapse ? Your scandal has already become an open secret in the company .

Ive turned a blind eye until now , out of respect for the past , but Ms.

Lambert , you are no longer fit to manage this company .

Turning to the shareholders and executives gathered around , Ariana asked , What do the rest of you think ? One of the directors , a close friend of Carson , took a deep breath before speaking .

Mrs.

Torrey , I believe its best for you to step down from managing the company .

Since the company belongs to Ms.

Torrey , Mrs.

Torrey has no right to interfere ! Exactly ! Not only should Mrs.

Torrey step down , but Mr.

Wagner should be fired as well ! The room erupted in a chorus of disapproval .

Ariana had already received the answer she needed .

She turned to John , who was on the verge of collapsing , and said , Mr.

Wagner , this is the consensus .

I expect your resignation letter on my desk by tomorrow morning .

If we +25 BONUS Chapter 82 were to proceed with your termination , it wouldnt be in your best interest for future job prospects , would it ? Johns face turned pale .

Just then a woman stormed into the room .

Without warning , she grabbed Gwen by the hair and screamed , Youre the one who seduced my husband ! You shameless bitch ! I wont let you get away with this ! Seeing this , John was startled and rushed forward , urgently pleading , Honey ! Honey , please , let go ! Chapter 83 Chapter 83
