Chapter 193: Smash Them One by One
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Harvey panicked, but he soon calmed down and looked at Davis sneeringly. Without any respect on his face, he continued, “Flynn Davis, are you ashamed and furious because I exposed your scandal? Are you trying to frame me then? I, Oliver Harvey, have been with the Stardust Group for more than ten years. Who can order me around?
“I just can’t stand the fact that you gave Charlotte Carter a top position in exchange for sexual favors! If you just wanted to give your mistress a little more help and promote her to a manager or something, I might have chosen to turn a blind eye and just ignore it. But you promoted her straight to deputy general manager! Do you know how important the deputy general manager is to a corporation? Very often, a wrong decision made by the deputy general manager will result in huge losses for the company! I really don’t want to see the Stardust Corporation getting destroyed by a despicable scumbag like you!
“So, even if you want to fire me now, I must tell the truth! The employees of the Stardust Corporation are one big family who work hard together. The corporation doesn’t belong to you alone! You can’t be presumptuous, corrupt, and nepotic! You can’t ruin the Stardust Corporation!”
Harvey sounded extremely righteous, especially when he called Davis a despicable scumbag who put the interests of the entire Stardust Corporation at stake for the sake of his own selfish desires and made himself out to be a fearless person who was willing to risk getting fired for the sake of defending the company’s interests.
Many of the employees present subconsciously inclined toward Harvey.

Davis narrowed his eyes and clapped his hands twice. “Oliver Harvey, I’ve really underestimated you. With those excellent acting chops of yours, it’s such a pity that you didn’t become an actor! However, don’t think that you can twist the facts and frame me by putting on an act in front of everyone!”

Then Davis suddenly hollered, “Someone, arrest him!”
Davis was usually a kind and relatively nice person. But at this juncture, his face was incredibly gloomy, and his voice was like a thunderbolt. He was emitting such a terrifying aura that everyone subconsciously got out of their seats.
Several tall security guards immediately walked in and went directly toward Harvey according to Davis’s instructions.
“What do you want? What are you trying to do?! I’m the director of the sales department!” A look of panic appeared on Harvey’s face as he barked at the security guards.
However, the security guards simply ignored him and expressionlessly grabbed Harvey’s arms.
“Flynn Davis, what the hell are you trying to do? We are in a civilized society under the rule of law. Are you trying to get your people to nab me and force me to keep my lips sealed? Unfortunately, there are many colleagues here who can bear witness to this scene. Are you trying to commit murder in public? What are you waiting for? Hurry and let go of me,” Harvey roared while struggling desperately to break free from the security guards.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t resist the strength of these tall security guards and couldn’t break free.
According to Harvey’s initial plan, he would find a way to incite feelings of resentment toward Davis within everyone in the Stardust Corporation after ‘exposing the scandal’ between Davis and Charlotte during the meeting. He had thought that it would be best to blow things up and get the higher-ups involved so that Davis would be stripped of his position as general manager. Harvey could then take over as the general manager.
He had been performing well, but Davis suddenly became harsh and even ordered security guards to bring him up to the stage and hold him down!
“Tell me, who instigated you to do this? Come clean and give me an honest explanation! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless!” Davis ordered coldly as he glared at Harvey.
“Hah! Flynn Davis, do you think you’re a king? Do you think you can do whatever you want? Listen up. If you dare to do anything to me, I will definitely sue you!” Harvey threatened while glowering at Davis.

“Hmph, it looks like you’re not planning to say anything.” Davis ignored his threat and simply pushed the ashtray on the conference table over. “Keep smashing his fingers until he’s willing to talk!”
The security guard on standby at the side immediately obeyed. He picked up the large crystal ashtray, walked over to the other two security guards holding Harvey down, and cooperated by firmly pressing the latter’s hand down onto the conference table.
“Let go of me! You… you can’t do this! Flynn Davis, you… you’re breaking the law!” Harvey’s face paled as he swallowed his saliva and shuddered.
“Smash it!”
The security guard immediately raised the ashtray high and slammed it down on Harvey’s hand under his horrified gaze!
Bang! The thick and heavy corner of the ashtray smashed hard onto his left pinky!
“Ah!” Harvey screamed miserably, and his pinky finger became a badly mangled mess under the heavy and sharp ashtray corner. Even the white bones under his flesh were exposed.
All the people in the conference hall were so frightened and horrified by the bloody scene that they inched closer to the exits.
None of them expected that Davis would really instruct someone to smash and break one of Harvey’s fingers!
Some female employees even closed their eyes in fear, not daring to look at the scene at all. Some timid ones were even frightened to the point of having their legs turn into jelly and wishing that they could burst into tears.
They all wanted to leave the conference hall, but none of them dared to leave without Davis’s permission. But now, they had gained a new understanding of him.
Their general manager, who was usually nice and personable, was actually that intimidating and menacing when he was furious!
Sophie grabbed Charlotte’s hand tightly. Both of their faces had turned pale, and their palms had become sweaty too.
Of course, Davis also knew that his current behavior might traumatize many of the employees present, but he had to force Harvey to confess even if he had to use brutal means. He had to make him clarify the truth in front of everyone.
Otherwise, even if he got hold of evidence against Harvey slandering them, there would be no means for him to explain the matter between him and Charlotte.
If Lucas found out that Charlotte was implicated in this scandal, he would definitely not let him go!
So no matter what, Davis had to make Harvey talk!
“Tell me. Who told you to fabricate those digitally doctored photos to frame and smear me?” Davis questioned compellingly again.
He deliberately chose not to mention Charlotte’s name just so that he could make Harvey direct his revenge against him alone, lest she got subjected to everyone’s criticism in the future.
“I… I’ve just said, I can’t stand your behavior, so I wanted to reveal the evidence of your crimes! But you’re trying to force me to confess. You’re… shameless!” Cold sweat covered Harvey’s face, but he was insistent.
“You really won’t be scared until you face death, huh?! Keep going! Break every single one of his fingers! Let’s see how tough your bones are!”
Davis waved his hand, and the ashtray in the security guard’s hand slammed down again. This time, it smashed Harvey’s left index finger!
“Ah!”
The pain in his fingers made Harvey shudder in pain, but he was horrified. Davis’s attitude was too cruel and terrifying! Harvey completely believed that if he gritted his teeth and insisted on keeping mum, Davis would definitely break all his fingers!
When Harvey saw that the ashtray in the security guard’s hand was about to slam down on his hand again, he teared up and was finally frightened enough to yell, “Stop! I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you everything! Stop!”
