Chapter 9

Author: Washing Wheat
Rosalie reached Nicholas before I did.

"Long time no see, Mr. Burt," she said. "My company recently had a breakthrough in our product research. Are you interested in partnering with us? Why don't we go over there to discuss the details?"

She was shocked when Nicholas ignored her and Harry, circling them to approach me instead.

"There you are, Mr. Patterson. Let's have a chat over there."

Rosalie clenched her teeth as jealousy burned through her. "Are you feeling alright, Mr. Burt? The man yo

  • My Resignation Led to Her Downfall   Chapter 10

    It seemed that Rosalie had recalled that particular fact at that moment.It didn't matter that she did. It was already too late.A faraway look appeared in Rosalie's eyes. It was almost as if she was seeing right through me as her thoughts wandered.A long time passed before she finally asked, "Were you really the one who saved me all those years ago, Harry?"Harry's voice was colored with guilt when he answered, "Who else could it be? You're exhausted, Rosie. Why don't you take a break? Let's not argue about this."Rosalie suddenly grabbed Harry's collar with a manic look in her eyes. "You're lying!" she screamed hysterically. "You're not the one who saved me! You lied to me for so many years! Fold a paper crane for me right now! I want to see you do it!"Harry's fingers were trembling when he tried to fold a paper crane. However, he couldn't even fold the basic shape.Rosalie looked incredibly disappointed. She closed her eyes and said, "Get out. Get out right now. I never wan

    Rosalie reached Nicholas before I did."Long time no see, Mr. Burt," she said. "My company recently had a breakthrough in our product research. Are you interested in partnering with us? Why don't we go over there to discuss the details?"She was shocked when Nicholas ignored her and Harry, circling them to approach me instead."There you are, Mr. Patterson. Let's have a chat over there."Rosalie clenched her teeth as jealousy burned through her. "Are you feeling alright, Mr. Burt? The man you're talking to is unemployed. He also has a bad reputation. He's the one who ruined our company's latest research."Nicholas frowned deeply. A long time passed before he finally spat, "And why would I listen to you? Come over here, Mr. Patterson. I'd like to discuss our partnership in detail. About the investment—"Both Rosalie and Harry were stunned. They probably couldn't wrap their heads around the fact that Nicholas was favoring me instead of them.…After securing the investments that

    "This is my home," I retorted with a frown. "You're the one who's trespassing on private property. Maybe I should report you to the police."Rosalie was infuriated by my words. Her eyes burned with anger as she spat, "Cameron, I want you to return to the company right now to deal with the mess you left behind. Don't be an irresponsible person. Don't give me more reasons to look down on you."I scoffed. "Everything was working perfectly when I left, Ms. Smith. Besides, I've already resigned. Whatever's going on with the company doesn't concern me anymore. Why don't you look for your dear chief engineer to handle your problems?"I then told Rosalie to leave.Rosalie backed off for the time being. She looked unbearably awkward as she stood rooted to the spot, wearing a troubled expression.Even a fool could guess that she was facing a major crisis. There was no way that Harry could solve it. Just the fact that he hadn't come along with her meant that he was locked in the research roo

    "Huh?" Rosalie asked, seeming not to understand my words."Let's get a divorce," I repeated. "When do you want to go to the courthouse? Do you want to do it right now?"Harry immediately tried to smooth things over. "You're a man, Cam. You should be more understanding. It won't do anyone any good if you insist on being stubborn like this."I simply waved his words away. I grabbed the divorce papers I had prepared beforehand and placed it on the coffee table, saying, "I'm being serious. Let's get a divorce. Go ahead and sign the papers."I then penned my own signature on the dotted line.Rosalie finally snapped back to her senses. "Sure. Let's get a divorce. The one who backs out is a loser," she gritted out.Harry hastily tried to stop Rosalie from signing the papers. "You should think carefully about what you're doing, Rosie. Divorce isn't a small matter. Also, where will Cam go after you divorce him?"He was once again trying to paint me as someone who was utterly useless, sug

    Playing the role of the mediator, Harry pretended to advise me as well."She's right, Cam. It's time to stop causing a fuss. Ms. Smith didn't eat or sleep just to look for you. Don't you feel sorry for her?"He then approached me and tried to pat my shoulder, but I swiftly dodged away."Don't touch me with your filthy hands," I said.Rosalie's temper exploded. "Don't be so ungrateful. Harry's being respectful."Her tone turned smug when she noticed what I was holding. "Stop making a fuss and come home with me. How can you claim not to miss me when you bought my favorite cake?"Rosalie approached me and tried to take the bag from me, wearing a coy expression.I didn't spare a glance at her when I tossed the bag into the trash, saying, "You're overthinking. I only bought the cake because I was craving it. Tell your dear Harry to buy it for you if you want to eat it."I hailed a cab and headed home after I was done speaking, ignoring Rosalie's hysterical cries that echoed behind m

    "I just don't like it when a useless person tries to teach me how to do things. It makes me ill," I said.Harry's face turned a ruddy red. He looked like he had more to say, but I turned around and left.I didn't want to stay there for even another second. I would just be torturing myself if I did. In fact, I feel filthy just being around them.…My feet subconsciously brought me back to the university that Rosalie and I attended. We had seen each other for the first time at the university gates.Rosalie was adored by everyone, while I was just a nobody from the sticks.A shocking burglary gave me the chance to get closer to her. I threw myself in front of Rosalie to protect her, getting stabbed twice in the process.As I teetered between life and death, I could only use the single paper crane I had on me to soothe Rosalie's frazzled feelings. A sense of responsibility had also spread through my chest at that moment. I knew that it was my duty to protect her no matter what happe
