“We’ll talk about this later.” Connor gave the woman a few perfunctory words before
heading up to answer Olivia’s call. “Hello? What’s wrong, Oli?”
“Everything is wrong! Do you know the ungrateful Ellen just ruined Lena’s career? She
asked Young Master Jared to fire Lena, so our daughter is unemployed at the
moment.”
“What?” “Also, our dear niece just hung up on me just now. Ellen clearly has no
respect for me. I shouldn’t have expected much from an orphan girl!” Olivia never held
back when she was talking to her husband.
“Hey, watch your mouth, will you? My sister died early. She has nothing to do with it!”
Connor protested.
“Why are you defending her? I’m pointing out the truth. Even more, I’ll ruin her career.
I don’t understand what’s good in getting her a job in Presgrave Group.” Olivia blamed
everything on him.
‘Fine. It’s all my fault.” Connor swallowed his pride and complied with her. “I’m
heading to the Presgrave Group right now. She needs to pay the price for ruining my
daughter.”
“Calm down, Oli. It’s something between the young ones. They can settle it between
themselves. We shouldn’t meddle. Besides, Lena can always find another job.” Olivia
scoffed and muttered, “No, she won’t get
away with it that easily. I’m making a banner to show everyone her true colors.” Then,
she ended the call without waiting for his reply.
Connor sighed in frustration before returning to the sick room. His son had already
woken up and was now seeking his company. Even though Connor planned to leave a
moment ago, he changed his mind at the sight of his son.
Thus, he decided to let Olivia do what she wanted. For now, his son was his priority.
After all, the boy was the heir of the Aguirre Family.
“Nath and I are fed up with living like your unspeakable secret, Connor. When will you
divorce Olivia so we can live under the same roof with you?” The woman, Aida Reed,
pushed him to make a decision.
At that, Connor tried to coax her. “There’s no need to rush. The time isn’t right yet. It’s
best I do it when Nath grows up.” “You always tell me the same thing. He’s now six
years old! When will the time ever be right for you?”
Connor took out a debit card and gave it to her. “There is one hundred and fifty
As expected, the news was spreading like a wildfire among the thirty thousand
employees of the Presgrave Group. All of them were discussing it in their conversation
while the same thing was spread among different group chats.
Not long after that, they found that Ellen’s cousin who worked for the company was
Selena. Besides, Selena failed in her probation period and was forced to leave the
company this morning.
Furthermore, Ellen was assigned a position in the main office recently. She got a
promotion dubiously faster than most people, so people believed that she had
seduced the president in exchange for a promotion.
Thus, the facts altogether cemented the fact that Ellen was the kind of person the
banner made her to be.
“I can’t believe it. It’s a surprise to learn that Ellen has the influence to kick her cousin
out of the company. I always thought Selena is being difficult, but it seems like I was
wrong.
Ellen is indeed vengeful.” At the reception desk, the two receptionists, who always
held a grudge against Ellen, discussed the matter with each other.
