Semua Bab Didn't Want Me Before, Can't Have Me Now: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Upon seeing her, Xena edged further out, wearing a sinister and terrifying smile on her face."Give me the rest of the money, or else I'll jump off from here. But before I do, I'll expose this online. I'll reveal how Warren unjustly fired me just to keep his little mistress away from me. I'll claim I jumped because I couldn't bear losing my job."She laughed maliciously and added, "Evelyn, imagine the impact this will have on Warren at Larkin Corporation's anniversary celebration today. If you don't comply, you'll suffer the consequences."Then, she showed Evelyn the edited document she had prepared in advance, complete with images and a sorrowful narrative. Evelyn knew that if this matter were to be exposed by the media, it would be blown out of proportion. And with the Larkin family's branches all keeping a close eye on Warren, any mistake on such an important day could have significant consequences for him. She couldn't allow this to happen. Her heart ached as she hadn't ex

Seth took Evelyn to see a psychologist. After a series of examinations, they discovered that Evelyn had suffered from severe depression in the past. The reason for her relapse was due to stress, and she saw someone she shouldn't have seen.Seth's eyes welled up with tears as he thought about Evelyn's past ordeal. He dialed a number on his phone. "Mark, help me find a woman named Xena Summers."Two hours later, Seth met Xena. She was bound, blindfolded, and cursing incessantly. Seth stood to the side, smoking a cigarette, quietly watching her.It was because of Xena that Evelyn had suffered for so many years. It was because of her that Evelyn had contemplated suicide multiple times. How ruthless could she be to push her own daughter to the brink and show no remorse?Seth's heart ached at the thought of that. He stubbed out his cigarette and instructed his assistant, Mark Doyle, "Hit her where it won't kill her."At Seth's command, Mark's men began to beat Xena mercilessly.

Warren stared at Seth, whose clothes were disheveled, and gritted his teeth. "Seth, do you really think I won't lay a finger on you just because your dad's backing you?"Before Seth could react, Warren charged like a wild beast and unleashed a barrage of blows upon him.Warren's mind was flooded with images of Evelyn in her nightgown; her face flushed as she lay on the bed. Her hair was wet, and even her pale neck was red.He had witnessed this sight of Evelyn before. She was his lover, yet here she lay in another man's bed. How could he possibly bear her betrayal?He unleashed another heavy blow on Seth, leaving him no room to fight back.Then, a weak voice pierced through the chaos. "Warren, stop!"Although Evelyn's words were meant to be stern, her weakened state made them feeble.Warren halted, and his eyes reddened with fury as he looked at Evelyn. Tears welled up in her glistening eyes, yet beneath them, a familiar sense of desire stirred.He gnashed his teeth in ange

Warren lifted his eyes and stared at Evelyn. He hoped to see pain and reluctance on her face. He expected her to come and apologize, to beg for forgiveness. But instead, she said, "Mr. Larkin, I've already sent my resignation letter to you and the HR manager. You just need to approve it in the system. "As for the handover of work, I've already sorted it out and sent it to Mr. Crawford. If he has any questions, he can contact me anytime." Evelyn looked at him calmly and smiled.Warren clenched his teeth in frustration. He sneered. "Do you think no one else can handle this job besides you? Evelyn, don't overestimate yourself!"Evelyn chuckled lightly, "Of course not. Larkin Corporation is full of talent. I'm just being polite. After all, who likes being interrogated by their former employer after leaving a job, right?"Warren's fingertips tightened around the pen. He then retrieved a check from the drawer, scribbled a figure on it, and signed his name before handing it to Evel

Several days later, Warren chastised all the senior executives from various departments during a meeting.As they left the conference room, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Quietly, they murmured among themselves. "What's been going on with Mr. Larkin lately? Nothing seems to please him. My proposal was praised last time. But this time, I got scolded."Someone who understood the situation smirked and said, "Who was by Mr. Larkin's side in the last meeting?""It was Ms. Jefferson.""That explains it. Mr. Larkin is going through a breakup. As his subordinates, we should cut him some slack."As they walked and talked, they didn't realize that Warren was following closely behind them. He entered his office with a stern expression, and Clara came in with a cup of coffee, wearing a sweet smile. "Warren, I made you some coffee. Give it a try."Warren nodded faintly and took a sip. He frowned and asked, "Did you add sugar?"Clara paused, then said, "Oh, I thought you didn't like
