Dumping The Ice King His Mini-Tyrant novel Chapter 504

The executives from Vaughn Enterprises exchanged glances, while the employees from QuanTech Innovations looked at one another in disbelief.

When Harrison heard Simon speak, he instinctively frowned, but quickly realized that it was time to put some real pressure on Selene.

He stood up and announced, “Anyone who resigns from QuanTech Innovations today—the doors of Vaughn Enterprises will be wide open for you.”

“Harrison!” Gwyneth’s sharp voice broke the silence. Even she thought Harrison’s blatant poaching was crossing a line.

She addressed the room, “Some of QuanTech Innovations’ core staff are from The Lockridge Group. I won’t allow them to jump ship to another company the moment they resign. That would be a violation of the non-compete agreements they’ve already signed.”

Harrison didn’t even bother looking at Gwyneth. His gaze swept over the employees from QuanTech Innovations. “Anyone who’s willing to resign today, Vaughn Enterprises’ legal team will help you handle any obstacles you might face.”

The moment his words fell, a few employees from QuanTech Innovations stepped forward.

“I’m willing to leave with Director Johnston and Mr. Waverly! No way am I working under Selene.”

“Count me in.”

One of the senior staff from The Lockridge Group spoke up, “Ms. Lockridge, everyone here has an impressive résumé—what has Selene ever accomplished? Her work history is a blank slate. She was a stay-at-home mom. How is she supposed to lead people who’ve been working in this field for five, ten years? Every single one of us has academic achievements that far outshine hers.”

His words found plenty of support among the others.

“That’s right. So what if she was some prodigy at Aldonia University of Science & Technology? We all know how those childhood geniuses turn out. She won a math competition once—probably just got lucky. Does that make her qualified to run a company? I’d rather pay the penalty and leave than work under Selene for another day!”

Selene finally spoke up. “Mr. Vaughn, I just hope you’ll keep your word.”

Harrison paused, suspicious. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Selene smiled. “Every single one of those employees who left QuanTech Innovations today—they’re all yours, Mr. Vaughn. Any liabilities or compensation claims involved will be tallied by our legal team and delivered straight to your office.”

Her eyes shimmered with amusement as she regarded the man in front of her, seeing straight through his calculated performance.

“We’ve lived together for years. How have I only just realized today that you have a soft spot for collecting other people’s trash?”

Harrison’s expression darkened in an instant.
