“We!
Are!
Sorry!”
The two of them pinched their palms.
They squeezed the words out, syllable by syllable, practically through gritted teeth.
Chloe Austin looked satisfied.
Figuring that was enough, she said, “President Sterling, I’ve sent you the bank account number.
The necklace was 2.8 million.
Remember to transfer the money.”
Wendy Sterling gasped at the price.
“Your necklace isn’t broken!
I picked it up for you!”
Chloe smoothed out her skirt and said breezily, “I don’t want anything that’s been in a trash can.”
The remark was a pointed jab at Caden Sterling being trash.
At the same time, she was reminding herself that she must never look back!
Caden’s face was grim.
“It’s transferred.”
Chloe kept her promise.
She turned around with a humble expression.
“Officers, I’m sorry to trouble you with this trip.
Thank you for your hard work.”
The policemen quickly waved it off.
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing.
We’ll just consider it sharing in the joy.
Happy birthday, Chloe.”
After the police left, Chloe offered the crowd a sweet smile and waved her phone.
“Received!
President Sterling, this tiny bit of money is just pocket change to you.
I hope everyone eats, drinks, and has a great time.”
With that, Chloe left elegantly.
Vivian Sullivan gripped Caden’s clothes tightly.
She gritted her teeth, keeping her head half-lowered to hide the suppressed hatred in her eyes.
She thought, “Bitch, just you wait.
I won’t let you off!”
Wendy stood there in a daze.
Chloe really was a wealthy heiress.
After the banquet.
Chloe shed her heavy evening gown.
Sitting on the sofa, she held Winona Hayes’s hand, acting coquettishly.
This was the result of much deliberation on her part.
She needed to carve out a career of her own.
Only then could she better strike back at the people who had bullied her.
“Mom, just let me go work at your company…”
Mark Austin immediately refused.
“Out of the question.
You’re going to stay home and behave.
We have your brother and the others at the company.”
“I’m not going to Austin Corp.
I want to go to Mom’s place.
I’m not that far along in my pregnancy yet, and staying home all the time is boring.” After saying this, Chloe looked at Winona with hopeful eyes.
“Well…
alright.”
The words of refusal on the tip of Winona’s tongue had suddenly turned into an agreement.
Mark cast a slightly reproachful look at the mother and daughter.
“I’ll just be a junior employee in an easy position.
Isn’t it nice to have something to do every day?” Chloe added.
Mark no longer had any reason to object, so he simply waved his hand.
“Fine, fine.
As long as you stay close to us.”
The next day.
Chloe had the driver drop her off near the company and walked the rest of the way to work.
Upon entering the building, the secretary guided her through the onboarding procedures.
Just as she sat down at her workstation, she heard an arrogant voice.
“Newbie, go make me a cup of coffee.
Hurry up.”
“Get it yourself.”
Chloe’s voice was freezing.
She leaned back in her chair and stared at the woman.
June Dunn instantly flared up in anger.
“I’m giving you face by asking you to make my coffee.”
She glanced at Chloe’s ID badge and discovered she was a full-time employee.
Taken aback, she composed herself and scoffed, “Oh, I see.
So you’re a regular employee.
No wonder you’re acting so high and mighty.”
Back in the day, it took June a six-month probation period to become official.
Why did this girl get to start as one right off the bat?
At these words, the surrounding interns all looked at Chloe, their eyes filled with obscure, unreadable emotions.
