登入Cyril ignored Valerie's rapidly paling face and said, "Mr. Hall had been merciful and decided not to blacklist you from the industry out of consideration. But judging from your condition now, I believe that no other company would dare to hire you either."Valerie's face was deathly pale as she screeched, "I don't believe you. I don't believe that Alex would do such a thing to me! I don't believe it! You're all lying to me!"Get out of my chair right now! This place belongs to me! Just wait till I get in touch with Alex. He'll fire the lot of you at once!"Cyril interrupted her and said, "How do you think Thomas knew that you were the one who did all those things to him? Mr. Hall Junior doesn't even want to see you ever again!"Just look at your condition now! Forget about Mr. Hall Junior—no man would ever spare you a second glance either! I'd already warned you several times before this, but you refused to shape up, so you can't really blame it on anybody now, can you?"Cyril didn
Valerie's behavior soon began to escalate, her actions bordering on desperation. Aside from bombarding me with relentless text messages and emails, she also continued waiting for me downstairs at the company building. She even got someone to stalk me.I couldn't put up with her anymore and told my subordinates to call the police. When the police arrived at the company, she was in the midst of arguing with the security guards."Let me in! Do you not understand what I'm saying? I'm here to discuss business!"The security refused to relent. "Ms. Palmer, everyone in the company knows who you are, and Mr. Hall Junior specifically said that you were not allowed into the building at all! Otherwise, he would get us all fired!""That's impossible! I don't believe you! Alex would never do such a thing to me! Let me in! Let me in!"The security guards looked at the approaching police officers as if they were their saviors. "Officer! This is the person! She keeps making a huge fuss at the
Valerie refused to give up on me.She contacted almost everyone around me, but no one dared to tell her about my whereabouts. She even used our shared email account to send me countless emails every day. They started out as apologies and eventually turned into begging and pleading.I never replied to a single one of her emails. Still, she refused to give up and waited for me every day outside the building, hoping to catch a glimpse of me.While exiting the building with Marina today, Valerie glared enviously at her by my side as she rushed out to grab me by my arm."Alex! I've finally found you!"I didn't say a word and shook her arm off.Valerie didn't care and continued, "It's all my fault, Alex. I'm sorry that I let you down. Won't you please forgive me?"I've already fired Thomas from the company. He won't be interfering with our lives anymore!"I suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Even if you've gotten rid of Thomas, there will still be other Toms, Dicks, and Harries a
"It's not what you think, Val! You have to believe me! I'm the one who loves you the most!" Thomas argued.Valerie laughed angrily. "Love me? You love me, so you made me break up with Alex? You love me, so you forced me into handing over my company to someone else?"Thomas, let me tell you that just because I didn't say anything, it doesn't mean that I didn't know what you've done! I'm not fucking blind, and Alex isn't blind either!"All of the times I waited for her to no avail, the words I never said to her, and the countless times I suppressed my grievances now turned against her, piercing into her heart like sharp knives.Thomas still tried to fight back ."What are you trying to say, Val? I don't understand."Valerie helplessly held a hand to her face and said in a muffled voice, "You're fired, Thomas Freeman. You'd better watch your back."Thomas' pretense was shattered immediately after hearing the sudden news. His face turned ugly in an instant as he barked, "Did you reall
Upon arriving at the Hall Group building, Valerie composed herself and reminded Cyril to be careful with his words when going in.Jay came out shortly to show them in."The president will see you now."Valerie went into the office pale-faced. She said, "Mr. Hall, I would like to discuss with you about the acquisition. Could you please reconsider it?"Dad looked at her sternly and said, "At this point, I guess there's no need for me to hide anything anymore. I am Alexander Hall's father, Philip Hall."Valerie froze on the spot. Cyril also stared blankly at Dad in shock before looking at her next, unable to get a single word out.Finally, Valerie opened her mouth hesitantly and said, "Y-You're Alex's dad? M-My… But why haven't I heard him talk about you before?""He refused to let anyone tell you because he knew that you didn't come from a well-to-do family, and he didn't want you to feel pressured or feel inferior to him. That's why he never brought it up with you."He actually
Valerie's face turned incredibly pale. She asked again in disbelief, "What did you say? Hall Group is going to acquire us?"Cyril hurriedly opened the document folder and handed them to her. "Ms. Palmer, the acquisition documents have been finalized. Hall Group wants us to complete the handover within a week."Valerie was about to ask for my opinion when she remembered my resignation letter and reluctantly said to Thomas, "Tommy, send Alex a message and tell him to come back to the company immediately."Thomas' expression changed slightly, but he did as he was told. However, he realized that the messages kept failing to be sent. It was only a matter of time before he realized that I had blocked his number."Ms. Palmer, Alex already blocked my number, and I can't get through to him on the phone either."Valerie's expression froze. She sent me a message from her phone, but she quickly realized I'd blocked her as well."He actually dared to block me? Who gave him the guts?"Thomas
