Chapter 1248 Insubordination

"The very presence of a lowlife scum like you is an eyesore to Mr. Queen, Kaze.

"The nerve of you to hit Mr. Queen.

"You are getting yourself, your wife, and all of us in trouble.

"My best advice to you is to get down on your knees to apologize and beg him for mercy."

Greg was back to his arrogant self.

He talked as if he was in control and power.

Lilian, Faye, and the others stepped in to give Kaze a piece of their mind.

They were afraid Conan would lump them together with Kaze and take his anger out on them.

Darcy looked worried.

She could tell that Conan was furious.

Greg was set straight when he challenged Conan's authority.

There was no telling what Conan would do to Kaze for hitting him.

With that in mind, Darcy took a step forward and spoke in hushed tones, "Mr. Queen, my name is Darcy Quint. I am the chairwoman of Sky Ocean Corporation. In a way, I work for the Queens.

"Mathias and Ash have been nothing but kind to me.

"My husband acted without thinking because he was worried. I'd like to apologize on his behalf."

Darcy knew that crossing Greg was no big deal.

However, getting on Conan's nerves would land them in a hot seat of endless revenge.

Hence, Darcy mentioned her connection with the Queens in hopes Conan would let Kaze off the hook.

She did not blame Kaze, though.

"So you help run my family business?"

Raising a brow, Conan looked sternly at Darcy. "But we have a lot of people running the business. So who the fuck do you think you are?"

Conan blew up at Darcy.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Feeling foul from the earlier attack, Conan no longer had any ideas about Darcy.

The only thing on his mind was to destroy Kaze.

"Yeah, Darcy. Who the fuck do you think you are?"

Greg butted in and said curtly, "You work for the Butterworth Queens, and yet you let your husband slap Mr. Queen.

"That's insubordination.

"You made a big mistake as a manager of the Queens' business, Darcy.

"If I were Mr. Queen, I would sack you to make an example of you!"

Greg was malicious.

Many family businesses, faced with a lack of capable successors among family members, often choose to hire

professional managers to run.

There had been many cases where these managers would conspire and drain the assets instead.

Some even kicked the owners out and took over the businesses.

The increase in such incidents led to the careful and wary hiring of professional managers.

Greg's accusation was questioning Darcy's professionalism and intentions.

No one would do business with her ever again.

Understanding the gravity of the situation, Darcy explained, "Don't be taken in by Greg's accusation, Mr- "Accusation? Is it not the truth?"

Greg clamored smugly.

Since he no longer pined for Darcy and could not have her, his heart was set on destroying her.

Annoyed by Greg's trouble-making, Kaze went up and raised his hand.

"Argh!"

Knocked back, Greg spat out blood.
