The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray

“This…!” Charlotte’s eyes widened in shock, and her hands trembled as she immediately dropped the photo of her and Davis sharing an intimate moment.

But the photos were already strewn all over the floor of the conference hall. And apart from the one Charlotte just saw, there were many more explicit and intimate photos of her and Davis!

Everyone looked at Charlotte and Davis with peculiar gazes.

No wonder Oliver Harvey said that we would understand why Charlotte Carter could become the deputy general manager after seeing these things. It turns out that she slept her way to the top!

So much for being deceived by Flynn Davis’s words and foolishly thinking that Charlotte Carted really relied on her abilities to obtain her promotion!

Even Sophie Evans, Charlotte’s best friend, was extremely astonished. She wanted to defend Charlotte at first. But with so much concrete evidence and photos, she really couldn’t defend her. She could only glare at Charlotte, seemingly expecting better from her and trying to ask her why she had done such a thing.

Harvey looked at the expressions on everyone’s faces before saying with a smile, “I believe I don’t need to say anything else. You should be able to understand why a newbie like Charlotte Carter could suddenly soar so high and become the deputy general manager of the Stardust Corporation.”

Everyone in the conference hall looked at Charlotte with contempt and disdain in their eyes.

In the workplace, it was a relatively common practice to sleep with others and rely on various connections to achieve results and get promoted through the back door. But it was indeed quite rare for someone’s illicit affair to be exposed in such an exaggerated manner as Charlotte’s scandal did. At least, in the last ten years or so, there had never been such a case in the Stardust Corporation.

Sophie gritted her teeth and couldn’t help but stand up for her best friend, Charlotte. “But Charlotte Carter’s excellent work performance is placed clearly before you! We’ve all just seen the data in the document. The huge number of contracts she clinched alone, as well as the value of those contracts, is proof that she’s very competent. It’s not impossible for her to be promoted!”

Harvey sneered. “How naive of you! The photos are right before you. They’re proof that Flynn Davis is having an illicit relationship with Charlotte Carter. It’s also very possible that Flynn Davis abused his authority as the general manager to let her sign those contracts! Otherwise, how could a newbie like Charlotte Carter, who just joined the company a short while ago, manage to clinch so many major partnerships?

“Flynn Davis, do you dare to say that you didn’t help Charlotte Carter sign those contracts at all?” Harvey turned to Davis and compelled him for an answer.

Davis’s face turned extremely sullen. In fact, Charlotte was indeed a very competent employee who was worth grooming. But it was definitely impossible for her to clinch so many major deals in such a short period of time.

During this process, he had indeed given her a lot of help and secretly let her complete the signing of many contracts using the connections that he had formed for the Stardust Corporation over so many years.

But he had done these things according to Lucas’s instructions and had also been very secretive about them. Even Charlotte herself was unaware that he had helped her, what more others.

Besides, there was a huge problem with those photos!

Davis was certain that he and Charlotte were innocent. They had only met twice in total at the office, and there wasn’t any personal contact and intimacy between them at all. Besides, he knew that she was Lucas’s sister-in-law, so how could he have an illicit affair with her?

“Those photos have all been digitally doctored! Mr. Davis and I are innocent. We’ve never done anything like that!” Charlotte shouted in exasperation, her beautiful and delicate face flushing as she crushed the photos in her hands!

She was clearly an innocent girl who had never even had a boyfriend, but now she became a woman who sold her body to climb up the ladder in the eyes of everyone. How could she accept that?

“Haha, Charlotte Carter, there’s no point in tearing up these photos. There are at least a couple hundred in the conference hall. Can you tear up all of them? Let me tell you. The truth is right in front of us. And that is, you resorted to dirty tricks like seducing Flynn Davis and bewitching him with your beauty so that he would promote you to deputy general manager. Stop trying to argue or defend yourself!” Harvey glared at Charlotte with a look of contempt and disdain.

“They’re definitely fake. I never did such a thing. Why should I accept being slandered? I can go to the police and have these photos analyzed by professional criminal investigators to find out if they’re real or doctored!” Charlotte yelled through gritted teeth while boiling with fury.

Harvey snorted coldly and continued to insist, “Hmph, since you claim that these photos are digitally doctored and that you and Flynn Davis aren’t in an illicit affair, how do you explain his decision to promote you directly to deputy general manager today? You’re just a new employee who’s only been with the company for less than two months. Even if you’re very competent and have outstanding achievements, you should at most be promoted to a senior managerial position. How is it possible for you to reach the top in a single promotion? The Stardust Corporation is not one of those small private companies out there! Who believes that there’s nothing going on between you and Flynn Davis?”

The employees in the conference hall nodded profusely in agreement with Harvey’s words.

Indeed, even if Charlotte achieved brilliant results that were enough for her to be promoted, it shouldn’t be to the extent of a promotion to deputy general manager! Besides, the photos were right in front of them, and everyone instinctively believed what Harvey said to be the truth.

In terms of competency, they were not necessarily inferior to Charlotte, so why was it that she could clinch so many deals and become the deputy general manager? There had to be something more!

It was only human nature to believe what you wanted. The vast majority of people would believe that there had to be something fishy going on when it came to an unusual promotion linked to sexual favors.

Looking at everyone’s expressions, Charlotte was enraged and flustered. The more anxious she was to explain, the harder it was to explain things clearly.

Besides, everyone already began speculating and pointing fingers at her. They dared not say anything more to Davis since he was the general manager, but they had no scruples about Charlotte.

At this moment, Davis, who had been staying silent, suddenly smacked the conference table and hollered, “Quiet!”

Everyone in the conference hall fell silent.

Davis looked at Harvey and questioned coldly, “Oliver Harvey, you’d better tell me honestly who instigated you to do this?”

Everyone was stunned again as they wondered what Davis meant by this.

Could there be some conspiracy behind this?
