Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!

Chapter 428: Kensington Group’s Secret

When he left, Rowan Donovan couldn’t help lowering her voice and said to them, "You can’t afford to offend Manager Woods from the Planning Department..."

After all, she was just an ordinary employee; it wasn’t appropriate to explain too clearly.

She only said that Manager Woods has significant connections; he’s a relative of the Kensington family.

Everyone knows the company is run by the Kensingtons, which piqued Thea Shaw’s interest, "A relative of the chairman?"

The current chairman is still Old Mr. Kensington, Shaun Kensington.

Since there is no successor, he still has to manage company affairs despite his old age, luckily there’s Aurora Sutton’s presence.

When Aurora Sutton heard it might be a relative, she was taken aback.

Then her eyebrows furrowed, clearly thinking in terms of abuse of power.

Thea Shaw just observed Manager Woods’ face; it’s not a good fate awaiting him, others commit peach blossom debts, but this guy is afflicted with peach blossom disaster.

In other words, he’ll die at a woman’s hand in the future.

Judging by Manager Woods’ demeanor, it’s not surprising.

Rowan Donovan whispered, "I’m not completely sure, but everyone says he’s a relative of the chairman—in strict terms, it’s the chairman’s wife’s relative... shouldn’t be too closely related, but the top general manager is the chairman’s wife’s nephew!"

Aurora Sutton showed a bit of surprise.

Thea Shaw gauged her reaction, estimating this nephew is one of her uncles, she should have met him.

Everyone knows the chairman has no other heirs, so this nephew from the chairman’s wife is likely the future—more precisely, is already beginning to hold company authority, even though the chairman hasn’t fully delegated power yet.

Besides, he’s just the chairman’s wife’s nephew, not the chairman’s nephew, which doesn’t fully justify handing a company over to an outsider.

Thea Shaw smelled a subtle whiff of conspiracy.

Rowan Donovan also said, "Meaning, Manager Woods has the general manager supporting him."

Thea Shaw was intrigued, "Does Manager Woods throw his weight around in the company?"

She spoke in a low volume but directly, which startled Rowan Donovan, not expecting the newcomer to be so bold.

Quickly shook her head, took a sip of her soup and said, "Not really, Manager Woods is actually a decent person."

That’s only on the surface.

His biggest issue is causing trouble for many female colleagues in the company, yet everyone is intimidated by Manager Woods’ authority, and there’s no one who can deal with him.

Regarding workplace harassment, the female colleagues turn a blind eye, considering it as an unwritten workplace rule.

Behind the scenes, quite a few male colleagues envy someone like Manager Woods.

On the first day Thea Shaw and Aurora Sutton came to the company, they heard this interesting gossip. After lunch, when Rowan Donovan went to handle her own matters, Aurora Sutton and Thea Shaw went together to check the inventory of certain supplies in the company. On the way, Thea Shaw asked her, "Have you ever met the general manager of Kensington Group, who is your grandmother’s nephew?"

"I have."

Aurora Sutton nodded, "He picked me up before to go home, we had a reunion dinner, their whole family came. I called him Uncle, he seemed quite gentle and mild-mannered, after all, he’s grandmother’s own nephew. I even suggested we should officially gather for a meal together. Grandpa didn’t agree, saying there’s no need, I feel Grandpa... is a bit displeased with this uncle."

Aurora Sutton actually could sense a bit of it, she leaned close to Thea Shaw and said, "This is just my guess."
