All Chapters of He Sent Me Away for Three Years. Now My Divorce Has Him Panicking.: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Nina wouldn’t choose either option.Her life belonged to her now, and she would decide what happened next.There were still ten days left before her notice period ended.After subtracting the weekend, that meant only eight actual workdays remained.She was going to leave Gibson Corporation with her head held high and her record clean.On Monday, Nina still arrived at the office on time.She no longer had any specific projects to manage, so she spent most of her days reading research papers and studying new developments.In the past, whenever she came to the office, she would inevitably be met with sarcasm and mockery.But today was strange.When the others saw her, they first looked her over.Their eyes swept over her several times before they finally looked away.It was obvious that they had noticed she had lost weight.And even though they didn’t want to admit it, Nina really did look better than all of them now that she had slimmed down.She was undeniably beautiful.“

After thinking it over for a moment, Nina finally decided to go to Yvonne’s office.When she arrived, she got straight to the point.“What do you want?”But Yvonne wouldn’t tell her what the actual problem was.Instead, she tore into Nina’s projects from beginning to end.From the initial proposal to the investment in gene-editing technology, then all the way to the execution plan, she pointed out one so-called problem after another.But the more Nina listened, the clearer it became that none of Yvonne’s comments touched on the real issues.They were all pointless nitpicks.So Nina said directly, “You’re the project lead now. If you have ideas, you can bring them to the project team. Once everyone has discussed them and confirmed there are no issues, you can move forward with your plan.”Nina said that because she knew the team too well.There was no way they would agree with anything Yvonne had just said.“You think I wouldn’t dare?” Yvonne snapped, her eyes widening in ang

“Maybe she’s trying to get your attention,” Yvonne said. That was the only explanation she could think of.James said nothing, but the look on his face made it clear that he agreed.“Try not to have anything to do with her from now on.”“I know.”Then Yvonne remembered something else.“James, I heard Mendel Biotech is planning to invest in a new project in Burgola. They’re looking for partners right now.”She moved closer to him and softened her voice.“After we land the project, can I be the one in charge of it?”Mendel Biotech had an excellent reputation in Harbor City, across the country, and even around the world.It wasn’t only because they had deep pockets and consistently ranked at the top of the industry in profits. It was also because they had access to the best resources and the newest technology in the field.Back when Yvonne was studying overseas, she had heard Professor Smith mention Mendel Biotech before. To biological researchers like them, Mendel was practical

It was James. He was asking where Tyler was.Tyler kept his answer short.“I’m skiing.”James said, “Perfect. We were planning to go skiing too. Send me the address. We’ll come meet you.”Tyler glanced at Nina, who was standing not far away.“Today’s not a good time. Maybe next time.”James was a little surprised, but he did not say much.After hanging up, Simon was the first to rush over.“Well? Where’s Tyler? Are we going to meet him?”“No,” James said. “He said today’s not a good time. Maybe next time.”“Not a good time?” Simon laughed. “What, is skiing some private event now? We used to eat, drink, and hang out together all the time. I never heard him say it wasn’t a good time before.”Simon paused halfway through, as if something had just occurred to him.“Besides, I don’t remember him being that into skiing. Every time Yvonne won a competition and skied that well, he barely reacted. He always looked bored. But now he’s ditching us just to ski? Yeah, I don’t buy it. Un

“What?”“When did that happen?”James and Yvonne both froze.“T-Today,” the assistant said.Their reaction scared him so much that his voice started to shake. For a moment, he wondered if James had really been unaware of the resignation.“Get HR in here.”The assistant didn’t dare waste a second and hurried out.Soon, he brought the HR manager back with him.On the way over, he had already given her a rough idea of what had happened, and the HR manager was terrified.She had thought James and Yvonne hated Nina so much that they would be happy now that Nina was gone.If they were pleased, she might even get a promotion or a raise.But now, it seemed she had badly misjudged the situation.She pushed open the office door nervously and said softly, “Mr. Gibson, you wanted to see me?”James didn’t even look at her.He questioned her directly.“When did Nina Walker submit her resignation?”“One month ago today.”James’s eyes darkened.That was the day Nina had returned to B
