A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55 

Alessandra rested for a day before returning to the 

company to work. 

She was feeling down in the dumps because she was 

worried about the compensation amount. In fact, she 

did not sleep well the last two nights. 

Even though Emmanuel had told her not to worry and 

promised he would find a solution, she could not help 

but worry. 

She feared Derek might confront her that day and 

make a police report because she could not afford to 

pay. If that were to happen, she might lose her job, 

which would make things worse. 

Regardless, Alessandra was not someone who would 

evade problems, and the matter had to be resolved 

eventually. Worst case scenario, she would kneel 

before Derek in hopes the latter would forgive her. 

“Ma’am!” 

Sure enough, Derek went looking for her shortly after 

she clocked in. 

Alessandra straightened herself and greeted him 

politely, “M–Mr. Schwartz!” 

“I want to talk to you about the laptop and the phone 

Before Derek could finish, Alessandra teared up, and 

she got to her knees. 

“Ma’am, what are you doing? You can’t do this!” Derek 

quickly helped her up. 

That scene was witnessed by everyone in the 

company. 

Even Beatrix, who passed by, watched it from afar. 

Naturally, she did not know Mackenzie had helped 

settle the issue. If necessary, I’ll help Emmanuel’s mom 

to pay. 

Although Mackenzie did not agree with the marriage, 

the cleaner was still her mother–in–law. Beatrix could 

not let the latter be in such a tough situation. 

“Mr. Schwartz, my family really can’t afford to come up 

with twenty thousand. Please have mercy on me. I 

really didn’t do it on purpose!” Alessandra pleaded 

with tears streaming down her face. 

With so many people watching the commotion, Derek 

was grateful that the news about him extorting twenty 

thousand from Alessandra had not spread. Otherwise, 

he would be reprimanded by everyone. 

“Ma’am, I was only saying that to remind you to be 

careful next time. Anyway, you don’t have to 

compensate me anymore.” 

“Huh?” 

What’s going on? 

Alessandra was stunned. 

She never expected Derek would change so drastically. 

Immediately, relief flooded her heart, but she still could 

not stop crying. 

“R–Really? I don’t need to compensate you anymore?” 

“Yes. That’s what I wanted to talk to you about.” 

Derek left as soon as he finished speaking to avoid 

attracting a crowd. 

Everyone was in shock. 

Even Beatrix was stupefied. After all, she had witnessed 

Derek’s encounters with Alessandra, and the contrast 

in his behavior was huge. 

Something obviously happened before this. Did 

Mackenzie help Emmanuel again? Otherwise, things 

wouldn’t have been resolved so easily, even if I had 

helped Ms. Cadigan put in some words. 

Now that the matter was resolved, Alessandra felt 

refreshed, and she excitedly dialed Emmanuel’s
