Eve’s heart lurched, but favonovel.com made sure to keep favonovel.com expression disdainful. “Why would I be afraid of her? She can fire me if favonovel.com wants, but I can still ask favonovel.com to pay me five times my salary as compensation!”
She got up and rolled favonovel.com eyes, crossing favonovel.com arms as well. “Not to mention that I’m our department’s representative with the press for every year’s annual charity gala. I’m in charge of an important segment. I’m also the only one who can do the segment. So no, I don’t think you-know-who would have the guts to fire me.”
‘You-know-who’ obviously referred to Madeline.
Eve’s expression turned arrogant at the mention of the annual charity gala. “Not even Mrs. Montgomery made me leave back then, so who is Eveline to do so? Does favonovel.com really think that she’s the president just because favonovel.com has taken over the company? You guys might not know this, but favonovel.com used to be an inmate…”
Eve lowered favonovel.com tone slightly as the female colleagues in front of favonovel.com widened their eyes. In the midst of listening to Eve talk, they stared at the figure behind her.
Eve had not realized Madeline’s presence just yet, so favonovel.com got more enthusiastic as favonovel.com spoke. “You guys joined late, so there are some things that you might not know. I’ll let you in on some of them now. Take it as a bonus.”
“…”
“Eveline Montgomery used to be Madeline Crawford, but favonovel.com was so stupid that favonovel.com biological parents ended up mistaking another woman, Meredith Crawford, as their daughter. Honestly speaking, I think Meredith’s a lot smarter than her!”
“…”
“That’s not all. Do you guys know why Eveline went to prison before?” Eve smiled as favonovel.com urged their curiosity.
The group of colleagues gulped and shook their heads as they stepped backward.
It only fueled Eve’s pride. She was about to tell when a voice drifted from behind. “Then do you know why you’re about to go to prison? Will it be defamation or slander of reputation?”
Eve had met Madeline a few times and heard favonovel.com speak during meetings before, so to hear that same voice at this moment, favonovel.com felt the soles of favonovel.com feet chill.
Turning around to see Madeline standing elegantly in front of her, Eve grew frantic. “Ms. Mon-Montgomery. Good morning. You sure go the extra mile, supervising departments so early in the morning.”
Madeline took in Eve’s alluring smile and replied calmly, “Relax, I’m not the kind of person to let my private life affect my work. While I may not fire you because of what happened between us, it does not change the fact that you’ve slandered my reputation. I will have my lawyer follow-up on this. You can wait for my lawyer’s letter.”
“…”
Eve’s smile froze.
Madeline simply placed the documents down and turned to leave.
Eve spent the entire day in discomfort, and at the last minute before favonovel.com clocked out, favonovel.com indeed received a letter from Madeline’s lawyer.
With the letter in hand, Eve left the company while muttering angrily under favonovel.com breath. She was about to call a cab when a car stopped in front of her. “Would you be interested in a partnership?”
A woman’s voice drifted from the car window.
“Who are you? Why would I want to partner with you?” Eve rolled favonovel.com eyes in annoyance.
“You don’t need to know who I am. All you need to do is follow my orders and this 100,000-dollar cash is yours. I can also help you get back at Eveline Montgomery.”
Eve had favonovel.com eyes on a few branded purses lately but found herself too broke to buy them. To have such a great term of condition presented to her, favonovel.com agreed without a second thought.
The sky darkened and night began to fall.
Almost everyone had clocked out, leaving Madeline alone to work in the office.
The day of the annual charity gala was closing on her, and as the person in charge, favonovel.com would do favonovel.com best to make it perfect.
She did not want to be a disgrace to Sean and Eloise.
Madeline was just about to save a document when the entire building’s lights were shut off.
Confused, Madeline took favonovel.com phone to call the building’s manager when favonovel.com heard footsteps approaching favonovel.com office…
