She Made Me Hide Our Love, Then Wore His Ring Chapter 10
In the end, Vanessa really did burn it all down.She took Gerald to court for adultery.Even the judge hadn't expected anything like it.It wasn't the wife suing the man. It was the woman he'd cheated with.The whole thing set the company on fire.Everyone knew Vanessa had latched onto an older man for the sake of her career.The scandal became the thing people chewed over with their coffee.Vanessa couldn't show her face at work anymore, so she handed in her resignation herself.Mr. Grant processed her exit paperwork that same day. "With a record like hers, it's a good thing she resigned. If she hadn't, the company would have let her go."Vanessa left with her head down.Before she went, she made a point of finding me. "I did a lot of things wrong. Ending up here is what I deserve."I came to ask you one last time. That day at the crash, if I'd taken you instead, would everything have been different?"It probably would have.But what's past is past, and there is no if."No."I said it

I sat in the chair in Mr. Grant's office while Mr. Grant stood beside it, uneasy. "Mr. Reed, something like this happening is a failure of my management."I didn't keep hammering at it. "Everyone gets stretched too thin sometimes. What this shows is that our policies need to be tightened and actually enforced."Mr. Grant nodded again and again.Two weeks later, Marcus got out of detention.The next day was the day of our hearing.After two weeks, Marcus had lost every bit of his old arrogance.He was much thinner, the circles under his eyes dark, and he looked a decade older.In court I laid it out clearly and in order, producing evidence piece by piece.All Marcus could do was shake his head weakly and deny it.But against evidence that strong, his excuses accomplished nothing.After a little over two hours, the verdict came down from the bench.For attempted murder and for the later knife attack, Marcus was sentenced to fifteen years in prison.Vanessa watched the whole thing from th

Mr. Doyle was one of the company's veterans, and he shouldn't have been demoted on somebody's whim.In my few days there I had seen that Mr. Doyle was serious about his work and thorough about his duties.I thought back to the argument between Vanessa and Mr. Doyle.And I had a pretty good idea why he was being demoted.The demotion notice carried the signature and seal of Vice President Marsh.That same day I walked straight into the vice president's office.Across from me sat an old man well into his years, hair gone gray.Seeing me barge in, he knotted his brows. "Who are you? You've got some nerve, forcing your way into the vice president's office."I wasn't going to waste words. I went straight to it. "Why is Mr. Doyle being demoted?"In attitude and in ability, Mr. Doyle is more than equal to his current position."There isn't a single performance target he's missed. So why demote a long-serving employee for no reason?"The vice president's face went livid. "Where did this kid co

He never got close enough to touch my sleeve before the bodyguards waiting at the end of the alley had him pinned to the ground.Marcus thrashed for a long time and couldn't get up.All he could do was lie there with his hair in his face and dirt all over him.Right then Vanessa came looking for us, and she shouted at me, "Ethan, I admit I did a lot of things wrong when we were together, but you can't use your position to settle a personal score."Marcus got hired because I helped him. It's how I got in too, using what you taught me."Vanessa's voice was hoarse, as though I were the one throwing my weight around. "Even if you can't stand the sight of us, you don't get to do it like this."If you don't let him go, I'm calling the police."Marcus had pulled a knife on me, and they were the ones threatening to call the police.I shook my head and laughed under my breath. "Perfect timing. You calling them saves me the trouble."First Marcus staged a crash on purpose, attempted murder. Then

I froze where I stood.I knew perfectly well that with Marcus's grades in his major, Hartwell would never have hired him.He had to have gotten in some other way.Vanessa had gone into Mr. Doyle's office and the two of them had ended up shouting.I saw that myself.So it couldn't have been Mr. Doyle.I was still turning it over when I heard someone call my name.I looked up into Marcus grinning at me with his head cocked.He was taunting me. "Mr. Reed, is it?"Bet you didn't see this coming. So what if you threw obstacles in my way?"I got in anyway."Vanessa kept trying to cut in beside him and never got the chance. "Marcus, stop. Let's finish eating and get back to work."My gut told me something here had to be wrong.But I couldn't see what was wrong.That afternoon I had a colleague in my department pull up Marcus's onboarding file.I read every line of it.Under work experience, Marcus had listed several major projects.I looked closer. Those projects were awfully familiar.They w

Time seemed to freeze.The mockery in Marcus's eyes turned to shock in an instant.Vanessa stood stunned, managed a weak greeting to Mr. Grant, and then couldn't get out another word.I nodded to Mr. Grant. "There's a lot here I've never done before. I'll be counting on you to show me the ropes."Mr. Grant took my hand and led me into the lobby. "You're too modest, Mr. Reed. Chairman Reed has run this company for years, and the industry still tells stories about him. Like father, like son."After a round of pleasantries, I started in the human resources department, exactly as planned.My father once told me that however capable a person is, working alone means his strength runs out eventually.You have to learn to spot what other people are good at, acknowledge their ability, and put them where that ability actually counts. That's how you get twice the result for half the work.New hires went through three days of training, and I didn't ask for special treatment.At my instruction, Mr.
