Drowning Him In Regret novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66 Take The Blame

When I got back to the company, I reluctantly headed to the meeting room.

I said, “Mr. Dunce, today Mr. Carson, he…”

He interrupted. “Isn’t here again, right? Ada, is Jude playing games with me? What does he take this collaboration between the two companies for?”

Raymond was furious after learning Jude wasn’t there again. Having made two fruntess visits, he was done. No matter how I tried to persuade him, he refused to continue the partnership.

I messaged Jude and posted the whole situation in the work group chat.

Though I was the project lead, the ultimate responsibility didn’t lie with me. I wasn’t about to take the fall.

Jude never contacted me and didn’t show up at the office all day.

Colleagues from the design department kept asking what to do, but honestly, I had no solution.

If the boss didn’t show up, no matter how anxious the subordinates were, it was pointless.

Just when I thought he didn’t care about a deal worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, the next morning, he called me

into his office.

Jude scolded, “Ada, look what you’ve done! You lost such a big project, and you’re going to take full responsibility for it!” I looked at the document he threw at me in confusion. It turned out it be the termination letter from Bright Group. The document clearly stated that the partnership was terminated due to our company’s fault, and we were liable for compensation.

“Ada, you know how important this project was. Why did you screw it up?” Vivian was there too, bristling with indignation. She continued, “Ada, no matter what, you’re part of the Carson Group. How could you help Dorian instead? Even if you two have some sort of relationship, you can’t just hand over the project to him!”

I lazily lifted my eyes to look at the two of them, their expressions almost identical in anger. And suddenly, I laughed. So that was it. Yesterday, Raymond had gone directly to Dorian, and they struck a deal.

Now, Carson Group didn’t just lose the collaboration. They had to pay compensation. No wonder they were pissed. But none of this had to do with me.

“Jude, are you out of your mind?” I threw the document back at him. “You didn’t come back to sign the papers, and now you’re blaming me?”

I added, “Since when were you this irresponsible? When did you become so shameless?” I pulled out my phone and opened WhatsApp.

I continued, “I messaged you. I tagged you in the group. What more do you want? Should I have dragged you out of the hospital myself? No one’s going to clean up your mess. If you don’t even care about your own company, who else will?” Jude frowned, staring at his phone, clearly confused.

I caught a glimpse of Vivian looking guilty at the side, and I got it.

If she had access to Jude’s phone, she could’ve easily deleted my messages.

But she wasn’t smart enough to think of everything. Just deleting from his phone wasn’t enough. Others still saw it.

“Why didn’t you call? I didn’t see your messages. This is on you!” Jude started arguing irrationally. I realized he had became utterly shameless.

I stared at him, amused. Vivian snapped first, “Ada, you did this on purpose for your lover, to screw over Jude! The company shouldn’t be the one paying for this!”

She added, “You love money so much. Did Dorian offer you something?”

Vivian looked at me with hatred in her eyes. I looked her over from head to toe. She was dressed in luxury bra worth over tens of thousands of dollars.

easily

Being stared at made her uncomfortable, and she took a few steps back. I finally spoke. “Unlike some people, I don’t become someone’s mistress just for money.”

I turned to Jude. “Jude, I did call. I don’t know what Vivian told you, but you can check with the phone company yourself.”

I picked up my phone and walked out of his office.

If he had even a shred of brain left, he’d know who was messing with him and who he should be blaming.

But if he insisted on dumping the blame on me just to protect Vivian, I wouldn’t mind dragging us both down in flames. The more I thought about it, the more frustrated I became.

Chapter 66 Take The Blame

It hit me. After loving this man for so many years, he turned out to be brainless. That about summed up how I felt

Back when he cheated on me, I could chalk it up to revenge. After all, our breakup had been messy

But now, he didn’t even care about his company. All he did was try to pin everything on someone else to protect his mistress. I honestly couldn’t respect him anymore. I hadn’t even made it to the elevator before he caught up with me.

Jude shouted, “Ada, wait!”
