Chapter 243 Love Breeds Hatred
“Gavyn, I’ve been missing you so much, but you never come to see me.”
Upon hearing Gavyn’s cold and rigid tone, Laila’s voice immediately became tearful, sounding both resentful and pleading. “You have no idea what I’ve been going through at work these days. Since I’m new, they make me do all the exhausting tasks, and they even… they even humiliate me…”
She had already expressed herself in a very subtle and tactful manner. However, she had been cursing and swearing all along in her heart.
Laila was assigned to the administrative department, supposedly to do clerical work. However, everyone in the company knew that Laila had betrayed Gavyn. People felt it was unfair to Gavyn and no one respected Laila, seeing her as a fickle woman who was always trying to climb the social ladder.
So, every time there was a difficult task, the supervisor would assign it to her while mocking her, “You’re just someone who doesn’t know better! Just look at what you’re made of! Ew! Shameless!”
Wherever Laila went, there were always malicious glances and whispered conversations. These felt like needle pricks, making her feel as if there was a fishbone stuck in her throat.
With a crowd of people around, Laila couldn’t even catch a glimpse of Gavyn as
she was not working in Gavyn’s building. Without anyone to back her up, her
arrogance naturally faded away.
However, she held herself back and tried calling Gavyn countless times, but it
was Lloyd who answered every time.
Lloyd always had the same serious words. “It’s inevitable to interact with
colleagues at work. If you, Ms. Marsh, do not wish to continue working, please go to the HR department to resign on your own.”
After that then, the call was hung up.
Laila felt exhausted every day.
That day, she couldn’t bear it any longer and bought a new SIM card to call Gavyn again. She hoped that Gavyn would stand up for her. She believed that he still had feelings for her. It was just that Gavyn hadn’t noticed them yet.
Gavyn was already quite upset due to Aylin’s rejection, and hearing Laila’s voice only made him feel more irritated.
Ever since the wedding fiasco, his trust in Laila had hit rock bottom.
If it weren’t for Laila threatening her own life and using it as leverage, Gavyn would never have allowed her to enter the company.
He no longer wanted to see her, not even willing to listen to her voice. That’s
why he had specifically set up call forwarding for Laila’s phone number, leaving everything to Lloyd to handle. It was better for him not to deal with her at all.
Who would have thought that Laila would be so persistent, even going so far as to change her number to keep bothering Gavyn endlessly?
“If there are any issues, talk to Lloyd,” Gavyn said coldly.
To Laila’s surprise, after spending half a day buying a new SIM card, all she got from Gavyn was a casual “Go find Lloyd.”
Does Gavyn not love me at all anymore?
Laila’s heart ached unbearably, and she could no longer hold back her choked sobs.
“Gavyn… I know, I deceived you, and you blame me in your heart.”
Laila cried pitifully and in an unwilling manner. “But Aylin lied to you too! She’s clearly the daughter of the Koch family, and you two have been married for three years. She’s been hiding it from you, treating you like a fool! Isn’t this deception as well? Who knows what her intentions were when she
pretended to be pitiful and married into the Delacruz family? Have you ever thought about that?”
Even Lloyd couldn’t stand to hear this anymore. If it weren’t for Gavyn being there, he really wanted to go over and yell, “Have you have no shame? Seriously!”
Laila couldn’t stop crying, her pitiful voice filled with a sense of injustice. “I’ve sincerely repented for my mistakes. Why is it that you’re so indifferent to my suffering, yet you can forgive her? Why?
She’s been involved with quite a few men before she met you!”
Laila had noticed a significant change in Aylin earlier on and had been harboring some doubts. Later, when she encountered Aylin at a branded store. and saw her pull out the highest-level gold card, her suspicions reached its peak.
Even if a country bumpkin managed to hook up with a man by selling herself, she wouldn’t be able to obtain this kind of VIP card that required accumulation
