To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 600

Chapter 600 Teach You a Lesson

"This is for your own good, Jade. You could expand your skills anywhere and however you wanted outside of Bardoff City," Hayden insisted, stopping her from leaving.

Jade frowned. "You want me to leave because you're scared I'll take away everything you have, aren't you?"

"Scared?" Hayden stiffened. "You really are still as proud as ever. Do you think you're that capable? Trust me, I have nothing to be afraid of, whether it's Jeneration Group or some startup of yours."

Hayden was only giving her this alternative because killing her would claim a lot of resources. "Funny that it gave her this impression," he thought.

Jade wasn't upset at all. She had long grown out of the limited perspectives that held her back all those years ago, especially her uncontrollable temper. "Then there's no need to waste your breath here. Goodnight? She made to walk away, but Maria stepped in front of her.

"I know you hated me for stealing Hayden from you, Jade," Maria began." But I truly do love him. But it's been so long. Are you really still upset about that?"

She sounded like she was begging for forgiveness, but Jade knew better.

"We were the best of friends all those years ago. If you want to, I can secure a spot for you at work in the company instead of working for those outsiders. We promise to treat you right." Instead of outright force, Maria seemed to think persuasion would do the trick.

Unfortunately for her, Jade was no longer as naive as before. Her heart and mind no longer fell into chaos at those deceptive words.
