Check the name of your file Employee.json not employee.json which should be same as codes in controller.
Set Employee Model as below

public class Employee
{
    public Employee(int id, string firstname, string lastname)
    {
        this.Id = id;
        this.FirstName = firstname;
        this.LastName = lastname;
    }

    public int Id { get; set; }

    public string FirstName { get; set; }

    public string LastName { get; set; }
}

Codes of Controller

[Route("api/[controller]")]
[ApiController]
public class EmployeeController : ControllerBase
{

    public JsonResult Get()
    {
        var jsonFile = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(@"D:\Users\Employee.json");
        List<Employee> employee = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Employee>>(jsonFile);
        //return new JsonResult(new Employee(1, "Toyota", "Aygo"));

        return new JsonResult(employee);
    }
}
