The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 1209

"She is over there! Quick, let's get her to sign and pay up!" A commotion erupted from behind.

Amber and the others turned their heads just in time to see over a hundred employees from the Dunn Group surging toward them.

At the forefront was a 27-year-old woman. She stormed ahead with an air of indignation and jabbed a finger at Shirley. Her voice was sharp with anger. "Shirley! I demand 1,000,000 dollars in compensation from your company! I must've been blind to ever think working for Dunn Group was a good idea. This place is a dead end! Staying here any longer would've ruined my entire future."

Her name was Sandy Rock, and she joined the Dunn Group two years ago. The first time she applied for a job at the Dunn Group, she was promptly rejected by the HR department because she graduated from an unrecognized university and didn't meet the recruitment standards.

Unwilling to accept the rejection, she had waited outside the company building for two days until Shirley arrived.

When she finally managed to catch Shierly at the entrance, she broke down in tears, pleading for a job at the Dunn Group. She spoke of her recent divorce, her child she had to raise alone with no source of income, and a mother who was gravely ill in the hospital, desperately needing money for treatment. Furthermore, the Dunn Group offered the highest wage in Harmonfield.

At the time, Shirley had relented. She made an exception and placed Sandy in the Planning Department, even bypassing the usual probation period with a starting salary of 10,000 dollars a month.

Not only that, she had also lent Sandy 100,000 dollars for her mother's medical bills. This money had never been repaid to this day. Yet now, at the company's lowest point, Sandy was the first to turn against Shirley.

Amber's blood boiled. Her voice rang with outrage, "Sandy, when you were struggling the most, Ms. Dunn was the one who lent you a helping hand! The Dunn Group hasn't shortchanged you a penny for these past two years, and our company offered the highest salary in the entire city. Now you dare claim that the company wronged you. What do we owe you? Are you still demanding compensation from the Dunn Group?"

After saying that, Amber turned to the crowd of employees standing behind Sandy, their faces filled with indignation. "And you all, are you just like her? Okay, let me ask you. Has Ms. Dunn ever mistreated any of you? Do you think that after Mr. Ramsey is gone, the Dunns have no one left to rely on, so you can take advantage of the situation? Mr. Dunn Sr. even sold off his assets just to give each of you an extra 1,000 dollars in salary this month. How could you do such ungrateful things?"

After hearing Amber's words, many employees lowered their heads in shame. For the first time, they realized how despicable their actions were.

However, Sandy only let out a cold laugh. "I worked at the Dunn Group, and I earned my salary fair and square. It's not like Shirley gave me free money out of the kindness of her heart. Why should I be grateful for that? You've all seen it. These past few days, people have been cursing her right outside the company gates. Every media outlet, every street corner, is filled with people condemning the Dunn Group. The moment I mention I work here, I can't even lift my head in public. Now, no one wants to hire me. The Dunn Group has ruined my future! Of course, Shirley owes us compensation for our mental distress!"

Shirley slowly pushed back the strands of messy hair falling into her eyes, her expression eerily calm. "Bring me the compensation agreement, I'll sign it."

"Ms. Dunn, what are you doing?!" Amber's eyes welled up with tears.

Shirley swept her gaze over the crowd gathered to demand money from her. "It's fine. I'll sign. Take the papers to finance, get your money, and leave."

Sandy let out a triumphant laugh. "I demand compensation of 1,000,000 dollars! No, make it 10,000,000!"

Shirley nodded. "Alright. I'll give it to you."

"I want 10,000,000 dollars too!"

"I want 20,000,000 dollars!"

...

Whoosh! Everyone rushed forward together.

Slap! A crisp, resounding smack silenced the chaos.

Sandy had barely pulled out the contract when a stinging slap landed hard across her face.

"Even if Ms. Dunn handed you 100,000,000 dollars, do you think you'd live long enough to spend it?" Daphne stepped through the crowd and approached Sandy.

Crack! Rita moved without saying anything and gave Sandy's legs one ruthless kick, breaking them.

The moment the words left her mouth, the frightened employees scrambled to their feet and fled.

Watching their retreating figures, Shirley shook her head in frustration. Then, she turned away and kept walking. The moment she turned around, her eyes shimmered with unshed tears.

Vroom! The deep roar of engines filled the air, growing louder by the second.

A powerful convoy from Westeria Residence tore through the swirling snow, surrounding Shirley, Daphne, and the others.

Two soldiers stepped forward and pulled open a car door. Zayn, a man in a two-star general's uniform, emerged. He leaned on a cane as he stepped out.

"Ms. Dunn, how did you end up in such a pitiful state?" he said, motioning toward the high-ranking Harmonfield officials following closely behind him.

"Back when Robin was running the Dunn Group, he engaged in a great deal of illegal activity. Many of the company's businesses are tied to violations of the law."

His sharp eyes locked onto an official beside him. "Mr. Quaid, I believe the Dunn Group should be seized immediately. A full-scale audit of its tax records, financial security, and business operations over the years must begin at once. If any irregularities are found, regardless of who's involved, arrest them on the spot."

Johnny Quaid, the supervisor of Harmonfield's Inspection Bureau, nodded briskly. He pulled out a notepad and started writing. "Yes, Lord Westeria. I'll dispatch an inspection team immediately to take over the Dunn Group's accounts, conduct a strict inspection, and freeze all of their assets. Furthermore, we will collaborate with Public Security and Judicial Bureau to detain all relevant personnel of the Dunn Group for questioning."

Daphne spoke angrily, "What the hell is this? Zayn, are you using your power for personal revenge? Mr. Ramsey's whereabouts are still unknown, and you choose now to pull this move? How despicable can you be?"

He lifted his gaze slowly to meet Daphne's. Then, a low chuckle escaped his lips. "Ms. Rivers, I was just about to talk about you! You're a Sakurania warrior from the Rivers family, hiding under a false identity in Harmonfield. What exactly are you planning? I suspect that you're a Sakurania spy."

Then, with a casual wave of his hand, he ordered, "Arrest her immediately and shut down Violetcrest International!"
