Jeremy didn’t expect that Vivian could be so extreme.But then he remembered that she had always been like this.
In school, she always did her best to be a top student.She could do almost anything as long as she put her mind to
it.
“Alright, I’ll respect your decision. lf you have nothing else to say. I have to hang up.”
When Vivian called, Jeremy was in the middle of something.He had other important things to deal with, so he
couldn’t spend much time on the phone with her.
“Wait, sir.”
Vivian stopped him.
“What’s wrong?”
“I have a question, and I hope you’d answer me honestly.”
Nervous, Vivian’s grip on her phone tightened.
“Go ahead.”
“Sir, you sent me to the Turner family.l think it should be just the first step.So…What are your plans now?”
There was a brief silence after she said that.
Hearing the question, Jeremy’s attitude suddenly shifted.He replied with a sneer, “Vivian, I’m warning you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtagain.You’d better know your place.Do not waste your time wondering about things you have no business knowing,
or else you wouldn’t like what’s going to happen to you.”
His voice gave Vivian goosebumps.
She was too frightened to even speak.
In a snap of a fi**ger, the Jeremy she knew was gone.She felt like she didn’t know this man anymore.
Without waiting for her to speak, Jeremy ended the call.
The way he threatened her infuriated Vivian even more.She was sick living under someone else’s command.
Tracing the wound on her stomach with her fi**gers, she cursed in her mind.
Since she had paid such a big price, she must take revenge and then take over the Turner Group.lt was up to her
whether she would give it to Jeremy or not when the day came.
Meanwhile, the cloudy sky came into Natalie’s view when she looked up and put away her umbrella.
Step by step, she walked into the studio.Her bodyguard followed her. holding the design di aft Natalie brought.
Seeing Natalie walk in. Tasha was the first to rush over and ask, “Everyone has seen the news on the Internet.Is that
Elizabeth? How is she now?”
On the news shown on the screen of Tasha’s phone, Natalie saw Elizabeth’s photo and her own.Nowadays, with the
help of the Internet, nothing could be hidden at all.
Natalie didn’t want to speak about Elizabeth’s private affairs in front of other colleagues, especially when the nosy
Dalores was around to hear.She feared that rumors could arise from this discussion and it would adversely affect
Elizabeth’s reputation.
“It’s not as serious a matter as you think.Elizabeth’s apartment was burgled by a rogue.Her aunt sustained an injury
due to having direct conflict with the burglar, but she is all fine now.Don’t worry; there is no need for it,” Natalie
said.
Tasha sighed after hearing her friend.
“The security in that old neighborhood is just not up to scratch.Fortunately, the police arrived on the scene shortly
and nothing serious happened.”
After Natalie had thoroughly explained the situation, everyone stopped speculating.
All they felt now was pity for Elizabeth considering the ordeal she had been through.
“Are you all free after work? We are her colleagues after all.I think it’s only appropriate that we all pay Elizabeth a
visit in hospital.”
“Sure.Let’s go together later.”
Everyone agreed to this kind gesture.
In any event. Elizabeth had built good relationsh*ps with many of her colleagues at the W Marks Studio.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust when everyone had made up their mind, Dalores suddenly stood up and said. “Don’t be ridiculous! I heard that
Elizabeth’s apartment wasn’t burgled!”
Natalie squinted at Dalores, wondering what she was trying to do now.
“You’re just trying to cover things up for Elizabeth’s sake,” Dalores said in response.
She cast a sarcastic glance at Natalie and said in a raised voice for everyone to hear, “You wanna know what really
happened? Elizabeth’s boyfriend, Jorge, broke in and took revenge on her.The couple had entered an agreement to
sell the designs of the studio, but they ended up in an argument about the profits of it.What’s more, Jorge severely
injured her hand, permanently disabling her.She won’t be able to draw anything in the future.”
The people in the studio shared astounded looks when they heard this shocking revelation.
“Oh. my God! Is that really what happened?”
“That’s truly terrible.It’s no wonder that she’s suspended.”
Hearing the crowd of employees whispering under their breath. Natalie felt anger bubble up inside her, threatening
to overflow.She gritted her teeth and growled, “Dalores! What nonsense are you talking about here?”
“You know clearly whether I am talking nonsense or not,” Dalores said confidently.
Natalie scowled, wondering how Dalores had managed to uncover so much information.
However, she didn’t want to inflame the situation so she had to find another way to fix things.She considered her
options and then changed the topic deliberately.
