Resign with Grace Return with Fire novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15

When Sandra first started her career, she was slandered and defamed, and I went to great lengths to gather evidence to clear her name.

She used to despise those underhanded tactics. Yet now, the once upright and honest Sandra actually lied and framed me for Lester.

The kind and beautiful Sandra in my memories was gone.

Before the trial, Sandra sent me a message. “Fred, I’m giving you one last chance. If you get back together with me and return to Wendell Group, I’ll withdraw the lawsuit. That’s the best outcome for both of us.”

She wanted me to work for her again? No way.

I was about to refuse when Lester beat me to it. He submitted prepared evidence to the judge and even streamed the trial live.

The live chat was filled with insults and curses aimed at me.

The judge looked at me with disdain after reviewing the evidence. “Mr. Sloan, Ms. Wendell and Mr. Hale are accusing you of stealing company secrets, causing severe losses. Do you plead guilty?”

But facing all this, I just smiled.

For a moment, everyone in the courtroom and viewers in the live stream thought that I had lost my mind.

Lester sneered. “Fred, what’s so funny? What, now that you know there’s no escaping the blame, you’re going to play the fool to get out of it?”

Sandra scoffed. “Desperate last struggles.”

What they didn’t realize was that they were the ones doomed, not me.

Ignoring the strange looks around me, I took out my phone and played a recording on the spot. “Your Honor, before you ask me to plead, please listen to this recording.”
