Chapter 1047 - Provoking Beatriz (2) (2/2)

JoAnna narrowed her eyes at Beatriz. ”I got my position because someone is backing me? Are you saying that my degree, experience and achievements are fabricated?” She turned to the director of HR, and asked: ”Can we add this slander to the list?”

Beatriz lost it. ”Slander? Everyone knows that you used your body to reach where you are. Who knows with how many men you slept to get the title for Chief Researcher!”

”Enough!”, Jeff growled, and it made Beatriz stop talking.

As much as he told JoAnna that he will not interfere, that woman said to HIS WIFE that she is sleeping around for benefits!

”Miss Mendez…”, Jeff said in a threatening tone. ”Unless you have a firm evidence that Dr. Hill did anything you accused her of, I suggest you pack your belongings. You are fired.”

”What kind of evidence you have that I did anything I was accused of?”, Beatriz snapped at Jeff.

Sarah turned her laptop toward Beatriz which had number of video icons shown. ”Pick one, they are categorized by the type of misconduct.”

Sarah played video from this afternoon where Beatriz lashed on Dr. Arthur for cheating on her with Emma and Beatriz screamed how all this is JoAnna's fault because she is someone's mistress who brought her 'companion' to seduce Dr. Arthur.

”You are recording our lab?”, Beatriz asked under her breath, unable to hide her shock.

”We suspect that someone is leaking results of our research, so we installed additional security several months ago.”, director Scott explained. ”I didn't expect to catch you badmouthing your coworkers. And your slanders are not limited to Dr. Hill. Do you know how detrimental that is to the work environment?”

Security escorted Dr. Arthur and Beatriz out of CEO's office.

Beatriz was fired, while Dr. Arthur got an option to continue working from a branch lab located in Alabama with a reduced salary.

Director Scott and director of HR left the office after they confirmed that they will keep an eye on this case so that it does not escalate into a legal battle that can attract negative media coverage for White corp.

”Are you sure that it's wise not to disclose your identity as Mrs. White?”, Sarah asked JoAnna.

JoAnna confirmed. ”Yes. Beatriz has an idea that the system is against her and wants to take her lover away from her. In this way I am just a regular employee. It hurts her more.”

Sarah shrugged. ”If you say so… This office drama was dragging for too long. Are you sure that this is over?”

JoAnna paused and looked at Sarah. ”Your point?”

”Nothing.”, Sarah decided to change the topic: ”Aren't you now short by two researchers?”

JoAnna didn't suspect anything and started thinking at loud how to fill up newly open positions. ”There are few good DNA researchers at LA Medical Center, about to graduate. I will see if I can interest them in joining this lab…”

Sarah nodded while JoAnna talked and made random 'mhm' noises in agreement, but her mind was on Beatriz and Dr. Arthur. She observed that Dr. Arthur is someone who is using his head and her assessment is that he will not do anything rashly. However, Beatriz is angry and slightly delusional, and in a way, it reminded her of Evalina. Sarah narrowed her eyes while thinking how she will not allow this to escalate into Beatriz attacking JoAnna. It is easy for anyone to obtain a gun in the United States and it takes less than a split second to pull the trigger. And Sarah will be damned if she allows anyone to hurt her loved ones again.
