Three Years Forgotten, Why Go Crazy When I Say Goodbye? novel Chapter 219

219 /233

Leo gritted his teeth, deciding to throw down his final trump card. "If you push us like this, aren't you afraid we'll just walk out and resign en masse?"

Vivienne had actually considered that possibility. But after analyzing the team dynamics, she concluded they wouldn't dare. They were middle-aged professionals with mortgages and families to feed. Finding another position that matched Sinclair Group's salary and benefits would be near impossible. That leverage was exactly why she felt untouchable.

"Go ahead and try. See if I care," Vivienne taunted. "But I highly suggest you think long and hard before you do. Calculate if you can actually survive the fallout. Don't let a momentary tantrum ruin your life."

"Oh, and by the way, I know you're furious. I'm sure you've cursed me out eight hundred times in your head by now. But let's be real—this isn't my fault. You only have yourself to blame for blindly following the wrong boss and picking the wrong side."

Picking the wrong side. Leo knew exactly what she meant. The only reason she was targeting them was because they had been loyal to Willow Horgan.

But the time they spent working under Willow was the best era of their careers. They had been treated as equals, shared the workload, and focused purely on the science without any corporate ego trips. It had absolutely nothing to do with the sleazy, profit-driven 'corporate politics' Vivienne was obsessed with.

His voice turned dangerously cold. "It's not over yet. Isn't it a bit early to be taking a victory lap?"

"What, are you still defending her?" Vivienne dropped all pretense, going straight for the throat. "Since you're so loyal, let me tell you a little secret, just to cure you of your delusions. Do you even know where Willow Horgan is right now? She went to Merit Biotech. She's sitting comfortably as a VP, climbing the corporate ladder and thriving. She has completely forgotten you exist. You're out here ruining your career defending her honor, and she couldn't care less about you."
