The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 288

When they heard Elios’ words, all of the RMI Moravian staff who were gathered in the hall simultaneously held their breath. They had no idea that the missing Vega Linden was indeed in Moravia and even had the chance to work at their place.

What would happen next? What should we do now?

It was clear now that it was too late for them to correct the mistake that had already been done. Fae Muller had disappeared several months ago and no one knew where she was now.

The last news they heard stating that Vega was married to Prince Renald and the prince himself had already acknowledged his marriage through a press conference this morning.

Sam Haney felt the need to explain something, he raised his hand and begged to be given time to defend himself.

“Please excuse me, Mr. Linden. First of all, I want to apologize for our negligence. But when Miss Vega came … at that time she claimed to be Fae Muller. She also had a different appearance, so we didn’t suspect anything. She filled in her personal data completely by herself and we found out that she came from the Rhine… Even Mr. Mischa Rhionen himself who hired her did not know Fae was Miss Vega.” Sam’s face looked very apologetic. “We never thought that Miss Vega would come as a completely different person.”

“Don’t you dare blame Mischa for this! He recognized my daughter and helped her, even though the criminals changed all the data and even Vega’s appearance. He himself could do his job well. Hundreds of you are such incompetent useless creatures, you couldn’t even do such a simple task,” said Elios in an icy tone.

“I might be able to forgive your negligence, if only you treated Vega well while she was working here. I just found out that the assistant director of HRD spread sordid gossip about my daughter without feeling guilty at all. This is a really bad work culture that has been deeply rooted. I think it’s no use to maintain a small and insignificant branch office like this in Almstad.”

It took the audience a few moments to digest Elios’ words. They all looked at each other and wondered what the hell the big boss wanted.

Was it really pointless to maintain a small and insignificant branch office like RMI Almstad?

What did this mean …?

They did not dare to guess what the big boss was thinking.

“From tomorrow, there will be no more RMI Moravia. All operations for this country will be controlled from Bucharest,” Elios said in a cold voice.

It took the audience a while to digest Elios’ words before they realized what had happened.

RMI Moravia no longer existed? Did this mean that … their company will be closed? Can Elios do something like that?

“S-Sir … are you serious?” asked Sam in disbelief. “There are hundreds of employees here who need work. You can’t just shut down our operations in this country. What about our clients in Moravia? There are laws to follow …”

Elios just shrugged indifferently. “This group of companies is mine, I certainly can do anything to it. Regarding the laws, I think I know better than you, Sam. Do you think I’m not wealthy enough to pay all the fines?”

At that instant, everyone present in the room felt their knees turn weak. Elios did not care about them at all.

So far, their work at RMI was very good and the company provided various facilities and benefits that made employees at other companies feel jealous. But today, Elios easily pulled it all off.

500 RMI employees in Moravia lost their jobs in an instant because they didn’t recognize Vega Linden.

Actually, that was not the case…. The reason was not only because they did not recognize her, but also because some of them treated Vega badly while she worked here.

The faces of the employees who knew Sarah and remembered what she had done to Vega while she was working in their office suddenly filled with anger. They turned and glared at her.

“This is all your fault …” hissed Anne from the finance department who was sitting next to Sarah. Her face looked so angry and hateful. “If you hadn’t been mean to Fae Muller while she was here, we wouldn’t have lost our jobs.”

Sarah had turned as pale as paper all this time. She immediately realized that all the severe punishments that the RMI office in Moravia had received were the result of her mistakes. She felt embarrassed and scared when she heard Elios’ words.

She was ashamed of what she had done to the new employee she bullied and slandered without pity.

She was also afraid of revenge from her co-workers who must be blaming her for losing their jobs. Imagine … 500 people instantly lost their jobs because of her.

They definitely wouldn’t allow her to leave at this point.

“S-Sir …” Sarah, who saw the eyes of those people began to be directed at her with so much hatred, unconsciously rose to her feet.

She wanted to apologize, she begged Elios to cancel his decision or do anything that could soften the heart of the big boss.

“My decision is final,” said Elios. He waved as a sign that he wanted them all out of the hall.

Sighs and even sobs that were held by everyone began to be heard among the audience. This was all unexpected for them.

Many of these employees were the breadwinners of the family. Even though this dismissal meant that they would get severance pay, they still felt pressured because they had to find a new job.

In difficult economic times like this, it was very difficult to get a job, especially as good as the job they now had at RMI.

So, losing their job so suddenly like this really hit them hard. Employees who were young and didn’t have any dependents might survive, but, employees who already held such high positions would find it very difficult to find equal work elsewhere.

Employees who had children and wives would face a harsh situation where they suddenly became unemployed so unexpectedly like this.

Oh, why did Elios Linden have to be this cruel?

Mischa glanced at Elios who was standing next to him with a cold expression. This was indeed the man who he knew well.

Just because Elios had not been actively destroying humans lately, it did not mean that he had become a good man who could easily forgive people who had wronged him or his family. He was still as cruel as ever.

Moreover, this was related to Vega, his only daughter. Elios did not care if his decision would hurt so many people. He would not allow his child to be hurt without him making them pay a thousand times worse than what had been done to his child.

“Mr. Linden … I-I’m so sorry. I didn’t know,” cried Sarah, kneeling at Elios’ feet. Sarah did not know what possessed her, that she decided to kneel by his feet.

She rushed towards Elios and begged at the man’s feet. Sarah already realized how big the impact of her actions was for Vega when she spread various malicious gossip about the girl, and it gave her so much suffering while working at RMI Almstad.

Now, hundreds of other employees were paying the price. Sarah immediately realized, from the many hateful looks other employees had thrown at her, that she would not be able to get out of this building without receiving hate speech from her co-workers.

They must be blaming her, and they had a valid reason to do so.

“Mischa .. are there no security guards in this building?” asked Elios angrily. “Everyone is given one hour to pack up their stuff and leave the building. Those who are still hanging around here after one hour has passed will be kicked out by the security guards. They can settle whatever business they have outside of the building.”

The female employees started to cry in tears at Elios’ cold words spoken mercilessly.

Oh … all this is because of Sarah …! They all stared at the girl with deep hatred.

“The work culture in this office is very bad. It is useless to implement training that instills good values ​​for our employees if they don’t apply them,” said Elios.

“But … I think one rotten apple should not spoil the whole barrel, sir.” Sam was still trying to provide input to Elios. “There are many employees here who are the breadwinners of their family. Don’t you feel sorry for them? You have a family yourself, don’t you?”

Since he failed to persuade Elios by using the laws, Sam tried to soften the man’s heart by mentioning how many employees whose families depend on their work at RMI.

Elios looked at Sam with disgust. “No, I don’t feel sorry for them. If they are not useless creatures, surely they would be able to find another job.”

Sam swallowed hard. He had never met Elios Linden before and he didn’t know what the reputation of the owner of RMI had. In the past … as far as he knew, Elios was very cold and ruthless. But Sam thought that the man had changed a lot during the last ten years?

Especially, since he made public about his family. People could see how much he loved his wife and children.

Sam didn’t expect that Elios Linden was so cruel and heartless.

Apparently, he was wrong for thinking that the man had changed.

***

The atmosphere in the RMI Almstad office that day was chaotic and filled with the cries of many employees who just got fired. Elios ordered Mischa to contact his team in Bucharest to deal with severance pay for the fired employees and the closure of the office in Almstad.

“Wouldn’t it cost more if we took care of everything from Bucharest, Sir?” asked Mischa when accompanying Elios for a tea in the penthouse while they were discussing what had just happened at the RMI office. “We still have many clients in Moravia.”

“I really don’t care. My wealth is enough to bear the cost,” Elios snorted with displeasure.
