In truth, she didn't want to face Harold here anymore. She had even written a resignation letter.
It was just that she hadn't had the time to give it to her superior.
Even at this moment, Gary didn't forget to butter Brittany up as he offered, “Brittany, I'll help you move this!”
Despite his offer to help, Brittany ignored him.
“You don't have to help me. Please don't bother me again in the future. We're not compatible,” Brittany replied in a business-like manner before storming off.
Gary was left standing on the spot, alone.
“How could you do this to me? I have sacrificed so much for you! I've lost my job, but you won't even let me hold your hand! And now, you dare to say that we're not compatible?”
Alas, when Gary chased after Brittany, the latter had already left in a car.
With his face distorted in rage, Gary hailed a taxi and followed Brittany's car.
All of this was seen by Harold, who had been on his way back to retrieve his phone. He was worried about Brittany's safety, so he hailed a taxi and followed them.
Halfway through the journey, Gary ordered the driver to speed up and overtake the car Brittany was in.
Consequently, Gary arrived at the residential area Brittany lived in first and hid in a secluded corner, wanting to ambush her when she got home.
However, what awaited Gary wasn't Brittany but Harold because he had been right behind Gary's taxi.
“Harold, how dare you follow me! I'll beat you to death!”
Gary got the shock of his life when he saw Harold appear in front of him. After regaining his composure, he grabbed a brick and attempted to hit Harold's head.
In Gary's opinion, Harold was to blame for him losing his job and falling out of favor with Brittany. After all, he was useless to her now without a job.
“Hah! You're such a loser!”
With a kick to the stomach, Harold sent Gary flying a few meters away.
However, this was the result of Harold holding back and only using a sliver of his strength. If not, Gary would have been sent flying even further than a mere three meters.
If Harold increased his strength a bit more, his kick could easily puncture right through Gary.
After the blow, Gary's legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground on his knees. Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Scram! I'll kill you if I see you trying to harm Brittany again!”
As Harold's tone was filled with murderous intent, Gary, who had just stood up, shuddered violently. Then, he turned and ran away without a word.
Only after seeing Gary leave did Harold emerge from the secluded corner.
At this moment, Brittany arrived.
“Ah!” she screamed. Harold's sudden appearance made her jump in fright.
“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you,” Harold apologized.
“Harold, what the hell are you doing hiding there? Let me tell you. We are over! Please don't waste your time and effort on me. If you continue to bug me, I'll get my brother to call someone to teach you a lesson!”
Brittany thought Harold had come here on purpose to meet her because he still had designs on her person.
He must think I would be in low spirits due to losing my job and wants to use the opportunity to comfort me, hoping to get back together with me. Well, fat chance! This kind of tactic might work on those young girls right out of school, but it's useless on me! For women like me, it would be better to give me a ride on a luxury sportscar or gift me a Louis Vuitton bag.
For the five years Brittany spent with Harold, except for a luxury sportscar, a mansion, and branded bags she really wanted, the latter had not skimped on giving her an endless supply of warmth and sweet words.
However, what she wanted wasn't his useless care and nice words.
She wanted a lavish lifestyle, to drive luxury cars, live in a mansion, carry branded bags, and be someone from the upper class.
“You've got it wrong. I'm not here to make up with you. I was just worried Gary would hurt you...”
