George only responded by giving an embarrassed smile. Just at the same time, a subordinate came in and brought the papers. He immediately stood up and took the documents. Then he handed the files to Sheryl and said, "All the materials are here. You can sign the papers after looking it through and thinking it acceptable."
Sheryl looked through the papers carefully. She then pictured the contents and sent them to Charles' phone. She signed her name after Charles said that it was okay.
She kept a signed copy herself and handed another to George. After all the processes were finished, she said to George, "Mr. Han, from now on, I will have no relationship with BM Corporation any more. Please bear this in mind. If…"
She paused for a while before she went on, "If Miss Ye crosses her limit again, kindly excuse me because I would definitely retaliate."
George's face hardened at Sheryl's warning. He was the boss of BM Corporation after all. How could he be threatened by his ex-employee like this? It was absolutely annoying.
However, he was left with no choice but to smile embarrassedly and said, "I promise, I won't allow such things to happen again."
"That's all right." Sheryl nodded her head slightly before she went out of George's office. She planned to see Susan, but then she met Coral on her way.
Nervousness flashed on Coral's face when she saw Sheryl. She once did a bad thing to Sheryl; thus, she didn't dare to face her at all. After a short hesitation, she finally chose not to avoid Sheryl and went over to the lady. She greeted warmly, "Hi, it's so nice to see you here!"
Sheryl just nodded her head coldly and didn't reply.
Emotionless, she turned away from Coral and walked away. She honestly believed in Coral when they were still in M City. She never expected Coral to be the person who made her life in danger. For Pete's sake!
"Sheryl…" Coral called out after a brief pause.
That made Sheryl turn to Coral and ask ruthlessly, "Is there anything else?"
"I…I am so sorry for what happened," stammered Coral. Embarrassed, she glanced at Sheryl and continued, "It was Miss Ye who instructed me to do it. I didn't mean to do it."
Sheryl furrowed her eyebrows and got a bit irritated. How could Coral blame everything to Holly?
Thus, she stared at Coral and replied, "Coral, I chose not to say anything but it doesn't mean that I don't know the truth. Why not just admit what you did? I might just forgive you for your honesty. However, you want to shift all the blame to Holly. Don't you think you are very unkind?"
Coral felt wronged by Sheryl's words and hastily tried to hold her hand. However, Sheryl immediately escaped her touch. Awkwardness suddenly washed over Coral's face due to Sheryl's reaction. She explained, "Sher, a privileged person like you won't understand my difficulties. I have a poor family. Miss Ye promised me that she would give me a large sum of money if I give you the glass of wine. You won't understand what that sum of money means to me. It's life-saving money for me."
She stared at Sheryl and added, "I know I did something wrong. I'm sorry. But Sheryl, I'm still hoping that you can understand. I truly… I truly didn't mean it."
"That's enough!" Sheryl cut her off and cast her a murderous glare. She then said emotionlessly, "I know something about your family's condition. But Coral, I also know that you don't feel any pain at all when you spent your money on branded bags."
A sarcastic smile cracked Sheryl's lip. "So please, stop using your family's condition as an excuse. What you did was absolutely provoked by your own vanity. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
"I…" Coral suddenly felt ashamed with how Sheryl rebuked her.
