Chapter 423
Hylda was not only disheartened, but she also felt very angry and disgusted.
It took Albert some time for him to realize what had happened. He turned around and saw the disappointment in Hylda's eyes as
he quickly went to her and said, "Don't take my words seriously. I said those things on purpose just to probe how much she really
knows. Don't worry. I'll do everything I can to keep Sophia safe."
Hylda tried to stay calm and said while gazing downward, "I've been with you for so many years. I'm not going to doubt you just
because of that.
Albert, you can't have hope for Stella anymore. She won't do you any good now that she found out about everything. You have to
withdraw all the money you invested in Keegan's company as soon as possible."
However, Albert spoke as if he was not worried at all. ‘Not only that we're affected by this, but Vinci Rivera has it worse than us.
She made Keegan lose so much money, and I'm sure that he's going to want an explanation from her. He won't have the time to
deal with us. Semiconductor Technology will go public in less than a month, and we'll receive the money before he could realize
what happened.’
Hylda was still a little doubtful. However, Albert interrupted her before she could say anything. "Leave yourself out of this. I'll take
care of it."
Hylda's face darkened.
'Albert has always been very bossy. No wonder Rainee said not to let Albert take over the company no matter what back then.
He's just too arrogant and stubborn.
'He thinks that Stella will help him as long as she is still Keegan's wife just because he's her father.
'He doesn't know his own daughter at all. How can he expect Stella to treat him like a father if he has never treated her as his
daughter?
'Stella would try to get rid of us before anybody else if she had more power in the Jewell family.
Tve got to make a move...' Hylda thought.
Two days after the incident, the Vinci Rivera Group published a handwritten apology statement on their official Facebook page.
Stella tapped on it as soon as it was posted.
She could recognize that it was written by Keegan almost instantly.
Keegan's handwriting looked very good as if he was a poet. It was very tidy and unobtrusive.
The apology statement addressed what happened the day before briefly without evading responsibility and admitted that they
made a mistake during recruitment. And, the Vinci Rivera Group had listened to the public's criticism with an open mind and
decided to dismiss Sophia and banned her from working under the group forever.
Moreover, it clarified the false rumors about its recruitment scandal while establishing a new company regulation. It claimed that
the Vinci Rivera Group would send every interview process after each session to the shared email account to be as transparent
as possible. Everyone would be able to monitor each interview so that the system could be open, fair, and unbiased.
Additionally, it updated its new requirement standards for future recruitment.
Fresh graduates were still required to have a recognized degree because they did not have any working experience, and that
was the only way to determine their vocational ability.
However, it became easier for former year's graduates to apply.
Academic qualifications would stop being the only criterion for securing a position in the Vinci Rivera Group. Anyone that had
achieved anything prominent in their career or published any influential thesis in relevant magazines would be given an
opportunity for an interview. And, they also extended the maximum age of applicants to forty years old.
Anyone who was employed under this new policy would also receive the same pay as the other applicants with higher academic
qualifications who worked in the same position.
That was because everyone learned at a different phase. Some people could absorb a lot of knowledge in school, but some
people would only start showcasing super high learning abilities once they started working.
This new policy undoubtedly gave a chance to people who were very competent in their field but graduated from a mediocre
university. It was an opportunity that they never had because, back then, their academic qualifications prevented them from
working in a leading enterprise.
By right, the statement should appear very sincere since Keegan wrote it by hand. It was supposed to relieve the netizens'
anger, yet the comment section was filled with skeptical and resentful remarks instead.
