Chapter 98 Deciding to Resign
At first, David denied everything, claiming that he was only looking for some information. However, after
he was pressured by their superior, he eventually confessed.
He was envious of Chloe’s promotion to team leader shortly after joining the company and had made a
rash decision.
Their superior was furious and scolded, “We need to cooperate with clients from Estre all year round,
and with her top-notch Estrenian language skills and experience in leading a team, Chloe is more
qualified and capable than you. There’s no point in competing with her!”
David was resentful, but there was nothing he could do. The evidence was clear, and the truth was out.
Since David had been working at Baxon for five years, their superior just fired him. He left Baxon with
his belongings in hand, his head hanging low and defeated.
Chloe had proven her innocence, and her colleagues quickly gathered around her, showering her with
compliments. She responded to them with a fake smile on her face. She had not forgotten the things
they had said this morning.
All of them were fair-weathered. They were fickle and only cared about themselves. Joseph was right.
The work culture at Baxon was not great-full of scheming and backstabbing.

to the Patterson project manager. If it were not for his
intervention, there was a good chance that her superior would not have approved the request to access
the surveillance footage.
The project manager responded with a text, saying that Chloe did not need to thank him and that she
should thank Alexander instead. Chloe was confused, but before she could ask why, the project
manager retracted his message.
[Don’t mention it, Ms. Chloe. It was just a small favor. I’m really grateful that you were so kind and didn’t
blame me for my presumptuous behavior.]
As Chloe read the new message, the look of confusion on her face gradually faded. He must have sent
the previous message to the wrong person.
She replied politely and ended the conversation.
Everything should have gone back to normal, but when Chloe went to the restroom in the afternoon,
she overheard two women from her department chatting and laughing as they entered the restroom.
“The new team leader is pretty impressive. She managed to deal with that fellow at Patterson. Maybe
she sold her body to get ahead,” one of the women snickered.
“Who knows? But she is young and beautiful. It wouldn’t be hard for her to seduce a man,” the other
responded.
They then looked at each other and let out a laugh together.
Chloe’s expression darkened as she pushed the door to her cubicle open, startling the two women.
They then greeted her awkwardly, “H-Hi, Ms. Chloe.”
Meanwhile, Chloe bent down at one of the sinks, washing her hands as her beautiful face with fair skin
and delicate features was reflected in the mirror. Her downcast lashes shielded her emotions from view.
She scrubbed her hands vigorously and did not stop even after they turned red.
Not hearing any response, the two female colleagues pursed their lips and left. At the same time, Chloe
made a decision. If her superior wanted to dismiss her, then so be it.
The atmosphere at Baxon was toxic and she could feel the stress and negativity weighing down on her.
Even though she had already cleared her name, some people still believed the lies that had been
spread about her.
She decided to find a new job, but not at the moment. She was well aware of her financial capability
and knew that she needed to take her time and explore all options. before making a move. It was time
to be patient and search for better opportunities while keeping her current position as a backup plan.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs Chloe emerged from the restroom, she bumped into her superior. He repeated his offer for her to
take a few paid days off to make amends for the recent turmoil.
This time, Chloe did not refuse.
She had not heard back from Joseph and wanted to personally check on Toto to make sure it had
arrived home safely. However, her already low spirits were dampened further when she discovered she
had started her period upon returning to the villa, and
Toto was still nowhere to be found.

Just as she was about to drift off, the shrill sound of her phone ringing jolted her awake.
Assuming it was Joseph, she answered without looking at the caller ID.
“Ava told me that she didn’t take the money your mother left for you! Have deliberately trying to sow
discord between us the entire time?!’

The sound of Jake’s enraged voice pierced her ears and even caused a sharp pain in her
abdomen.
