Chapter 1696 Identity
Cordelia was getting scared now, seeing both Melody and Kensington show up.
She was just an ordinary working person, afraid of losing her job because of saying the wrong thing.
"I was pouring wine here when Ellington..." Ellington had teased her at the time, making suggestive remarks and touching her waist on his own initiative.
Cordelia quickly dodged away, but Ellington grabbed her hand and said he wouldn't let her go.
Kensington looked at the waitress in front of him. "Think carefully before you speak. If you say the wrong thing, the consequences will be very troublesome."
Cordelia jumped in fright and quickly shook her head. "No, no, Huntington, you saw wrong and heard wrong. Mr. Grimaldi didn't do anything to me."
Huntington pointed at Kensington and said to Cordelia, "Are you afraid you'll lose your job if you tell the truth?"
Cordelia kept her head down.
Kensington raised an eyebrow. "Young man, you believed a waitress's words and injured Ellington. I think we really should call the police, because you'll pay the price for your actions! Everyone here is a witness - his friends and Cordelia are all witnesses. You injured him out of jealousy. You're the one causing trouble."
Huntington hadn't expected that his good deed of helping someone would backfire on him like this. The man clenched his fists. "Then do you know that the communicator has a recording function? I clearly heard a call for help."
Before Cordelia could answer, Ellington said, "That just proves Cordelia lied to you. She tried to seduce me and failed, so she falsely claimed I harassed her to ruin my reputation."
He looked at Kensington. "Dad, I suggest we call the police. Huntington was fighting, Cordelia was his accomplice. I want to sue Cordelia for defaming me."
He looked like he had everything under control.
Natalie thought this was absolutely ridiculous.
She hadn't expected to run into something like this on her visit to Elysian Fields Nightclub. She looked at Melody. "Melody, you tell me - how should this be handled?"
Melody's face completely darkened, as if she also felt this farce could end now.
She looked at Kensington. "You're really confused."
Kensington still thought Melody was using her CEO authority to pressure him. He said dismissively, "Never mind you - even if that legendary owner showed up, this matter would end the same way. Security guard Huntington deliberately started a fight. Someone like that doesn't deserve to work at Elysian Fields Nightclub."
"The one who doesn't deserve to be here is you."
Natalie's voice was cold. "Melody, I put you in charge of Elysian Fields Nightclub, not to let you keep these parasites around!"
Melody knew Natalie was angry. Her face went pale and she quickly said, "Understood. Ms. Teeger, please give me a chance. I'll definitely handle this matter properly."
Kensington froze.
Ms. Teeger?
Not just her - everyone else in the private room froze too.
What? Ms. Teeger?
Wasn't that the mysterious big boss behind Elysian Fields Nightclub?
Augusta stood behind Melody and carefully glanced at Natalie. Even wearing a mask, this woman was extraordinarily striking.
She hadn't expected her to be the owner behind Elysian Fields Nightclub.
No wonder Melody was so respectful toward her.
Kensington met Natalie's eyes and immediately panicked.
He knew how arrogant he'd just been, and he knew what a huge mistake he'd made trying to protect Ellington by twisting the facts.
Natalie said to Huntington, "You did very well. We need people like you here. I hope you'll stay and work here. Ms. Nicholson will personally discuss your salary and benefits with you."
