The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53 You Will Soon Be Unemployed

"Gilbert, what's wrong with you?" Beatrice quickly went over and helped him up.

But Gilbert raised his hand and slapped her across the face and snapped, "Bitch, you've ruined me!"

"Gilbert... Gilbert, what happened in the end?" Beatrice raised her hand to cover her cheek.

"Our contract for the Ozin Tower has also been invalidated! It's all because of you, I got involved with him. You are a troublemaker!" Gilbert roared loudly.

"He? Is it really him?"

Then, after exchanging a glance, they quickly ran towards the door. They now realized that Knight Group's affairs were definitely done by Billy. Zeph ran while shouting loudly at the employees on the corridor.

"All of you go and chase after Harleen! Bring her back! Otherwise, all of you will lose your jobs!"

Upon hearing his words, more than ten employees threw away what they were holding and ran desperately towards the stairway.

"Damn it, wait for me!" Gilbert exclaimed and followed after, stumbling along.

Harleen and Billy had arrived in the lobby.

"Harleen, let's take a break here before we go," Billy said, leading her to a couch on the side of the lobby.

"Wh-Why?" Harleen asked, blushing slightly as she was once again led by the hand.

"You'll find out soon enough." Billy replied with a faint smile.

After they sat down on the couch, Billy asked her while gazing at her, "Harleen, have your parents mentioned what kind of house they want to buy?"

"My mom has always dreamed of owning a villa." Harleen answered after hesitating for a moment. "Five years ago when things were still okay at home, she told my dad that she wanted to sell our house and use the money as down payment for an affordable villa. We were doing pretty well at that time so my dad reluctantly agreed. But before we could even start looking at houses, everything fell apart."

"I see." Billy nodded slightly.

"Since then my mom hasn't mentioned anything about the villa anymore." Harleen spoke with regret in her voice. "But I know that dream is still there in her heart..."

As she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Harleen, don't be too hard on yourself. Everything will be okay. Leave it to me, okay?" Billy comforted her.

As they spoke, many employees in the lobby turned their heads to look at them. Most of them had only recently joined the company and didn't know Harleen personally. However, her stunning beauty caught everyone's attention.

"Oh look, isn't that Harleen Knight?" a sarcastic voice sounded out from behind them. A tall woman in her thirties walked over accompanied by a receptionist.

"I heard that she stole her cousin's credit just so she could work at headquarters again. Is that true?" the woman continued tauntingly, "It's been years since we've seen each other and you've fallen this far down? How sad!"

"Carly, I barely know you, please keep your mouth shut!" Harleen retorted back at Carly's insults.
