“In fact, people like you are the ones who should be hated and pitied the most. You brought trouble to both yourself and others, thinking you were smart. However, you ended up being the fool.”
Everything she said caused Yvonne to stand rooted to the spot in shock.
She realized that things were exactly how Celine made them out to be. She was the fool here.
Not only had she not gained any benefits, but Jasper, the one she wanted to seek revenge on, had lost nothing. On the other hand, she had lost everything.
She also dragged Celine down with her in the process.
“Miss Maynard, I…”
Tears filled Yvonne’s eyes as she tried to plead for mercy. However, she was too ashamed to actually say anything when she opened her mouth.
“Seeing how you still have some shame, I’ll give you some leeway.”
Celine’s words caused hope to once again flare within Yvonne. She gazed hopefully at Celine.
However, what Celine said after that pushed her right back into an abyss of despair.
“You can hand in your resignation. This way, you’ll still be able to find employment in other investment companies. If Colossal Investments were to fire you, it’ll leave a permanent stain on your record and no other investment companies will think of hiring you.”
Celine turned and walked off after saying that, leaving Yvonne to stand rooted to the spot in shock before she finally burst into tears.
