Chapter 7

Penulis: Radiant Pear
The vast office was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Cadence’s face was ashen, and her body swayed dangerously as if she might collapse.

Bill’s legs gave way completely, and he slumped to the floor.

I nodded and said to Mr. Jean, “Thank you for your assistance.”

“My pleasure.”

Mr. Jean straightened up and gazed coldly at the termination notice on the desk as well as Cadence.

His stare sent a chill down Cadence’s spine.

“Mr. Lyon, let’s go.”

I hummed in acknowledgment and turned to leave this sickening place. Cadence suddenly snapped out of it.

“Ronaldo!” she screamed as she lunged forward to grab my hand.

“Ronaldo, let me explain!”

The two bodyguards behind her immediately stepped forward and grabbed her on either side.

“Let me go! Do you know who I am?!” Cadence struggled frantically. “I’m Ronaldo’s fiancee!”

Mr. Jean turned back and glared at her.

“Ms. Hall, please have some self-control.”

“Ronaldo! I was wrong! I truly was wrong!”

The bodyguards held her back

    Following multiple blows, Hall Group had swiftly declared bankruptcy and liquidated its assets.Cadence sold off the company and her property just to barely repay the bank loans and client penalties.However, the massive gambling debts she had accumulated overseas became the final straw that broke her back.Debt collectors came knocking, which forced her into a life of hiding and running. She was utterly miserable.Friends who once surrounded her avoided her like the plague.She fell from the clouds into the mud and lived a life more wretched than the lowest vagrant.Somehow, she found my contact information.She began calling and texting me from various numbers.At first, it was curses and accusations because she blamed me for destroying everything she had.Later, they turned to repentance and apologies. She claimed to know she was wrong and begged for my forgiveness.Finally, they devolved into pleading and begging. She asked me to lend her money, even just a little, so tha

    My heart sank.“When did this happen?”“Shortly after you called me. The hospital informed me that she didn’t make it.”I fell silent.Although I had no affection for Cadence, Mdm. Hall had treated me well.She was a gentle, generous elder who regarded me like her own son.I never imagined that her own flesh and blood would drive her to her death.“That wicked daughter of hers!”My father slammed his fist on the table and sent a teacup skittering across the surface. “Mdm. Hall was an honest person her whole life. How could she have produced such a monster?”“Chairman, after news broke that your families canceled the engagement, Hall Group’s stock price began to plummet,” Mr. Jean reported quietly from the side.“The major clients that Mr. Lyon signed have all terminated their contracts upon learning of his resignation. They are also demanding compensation for breach-of-contract.“Additionally, the tax authorities received a tip-off and have dispatched investigators to conduc

    Cadence had a look of triumph on her face.“Mom, I’m doing this for you! This arrogant fool can’t ruin your lifelong reputation!“Besides, did you know? He just made a call in front of the entire company to break off our engagement!”Cadence burst into maniacal laughter. “Mom, tell him right now. I only have one fiance! Make that penniless fool give up his delusions of becoming the Hall family’s son-in-law!”As soon as she finished speaking, a series of urgent static erupted on the other end of the line.Immediately after, the assistant’s panicked shouts followed, “Mdm. Hall! Mdm. Hall! Call a doctor!”Then came the sound of frantic footsteps.“Quick! The patient’s blood pressure is skyrocketing! Arrhythmia! Prepare the defibrillator!”Before the person on the other end finished speaking, the line went dead.Cadence froze, and Bill hurriedly said, “Cadence, Mdm. Hall must have fainted from anger over those ridiculous claims!“It’s all Andy’s fault! Mdm. Hall must’ve never ima

    I ignored everyone.Bending down, I picked up the termination notice from the floor and brushed the dust off it.Then, I took out a pen and signed my name in the signature field.After signing, I handed the termination notice back to the apologetic HR manager.“Andy, I had no choice,” the HR manager whispered.I shook my head and indicated that I knew it was not his fault.After that, I dialed my father’s number in front of everyone.The phone rang just once before he answered, “What’s the matter, Son? It’s the middle of the day.”I glanced at Cadence, who was sitting across from me with an arrogant, domineering air. Then, I calmly said, “Dad, cancel my engagement with the Hall family’s heiress. Cadence Hall is unworthy of entering our family!”Before my father could respond, I hung up.The entire office fell silent before erupting into incredulous laughter.Bill was the first to react.He clutched his stomach as he laughed uncontrollably.“Andy, have you lost your mind

  • The Company’s Owner Is Mad That I Got Fired   Chapter 4

    Back when our families arranged our betrothal, the entire upper class in the state knew about it.However, over twenty years later, the gap between our families had become as vast as heaven and earth.My father was a man of his word, though. So, he never once brought up breaking off the engagement.So, I remained Cadence’s fiance.My question managed to startle her for a moment.Even so, she burst into laughter a few seconds later. It was as if she had just heard the most absurd joke imaginable.“Hahahaha! So, you really do want to marry into my family! You’ve even investigated whether or not I have a fiance!”She shook with laughter, and Bill giggled along beside her. “He’s so concerned about your family, Cadence.”Cadence pinched his cheek, and her eyes shone with even more arrogance.“Of course he is. After all, countless men are desperate to become the Hall family’s son-in-law.”She turned her head with a chin flick and flirtatious smirk.“That’s right. My family did arr
