“No problem, Miss Langley.” “Hurry up and tell me about that woman’s background. What does she have that
makes. Ethan like her?”
“I have not been following Mr. Quarles recently, so I am not too clear about the specific details of her identity.
However, I know that she works at the TV station.”
“Which TV station?” “It’s the TV station that Mr. Quarles invested in recently. I believe he invested in the company
because of her.” After hearing that, Jenna was peeved. “How did Ethan meet her?”
“I think they met during the wedding held by the Presgrave Group. I am not sure about the exact details, but Mr.
Quarles came to Averna after the wedding because of her. He also bought a villa for her to reside.”
It would have been better if she had not asked any questions. After asking those questions, she felt a wave of
injustice and rage surging within her. She had courted Ethan for so long, but a woman Ethan just met had quickly
gotten ahead of her. Who could accept such a thing?
At the very least, she could not accept such humiliation. Even if she could not obtain Ethan, she refused to let

Ever since she was a child, she had never allowed anybody to obtain what she could not have. The same rules
applied when it came to men. There had been no women by Ethan’s side previously, so she had not felt very
disturbed. However, there was now a woman by his side. She suddenly felt as though she had a goal to achieve. For
her, driving away the women beside Ethan would give her a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction..
In any case, she would never let such an ordinary woman obtain a man like Ethan. Josephine was simply not worthy
of Ethan. That night, Josephine finished the dinner that. Ethan prepared for her and happily washed the dishes with
him. Afterward, they went for an evening stroll together.
She finally arrived at the company on the morning of the third day. That was because she simply had too much
work piling up on her desk. As soon as she sat down at her desk, Wren leaned over and gave her a thumbs-up.
“Joey, you’re amazing. Have you seen the news today? The Vital Corp is being investigated. Thanks to your
interview, the authorities have noticed certain major issues involving the company.”
She blinked in confusion. Does that have anything to do with me? On that day, she not only failed to interview Dane
but also fell prey to one of his evil schemes. All she knew was that Dane had been hospitalized after receiving a
beating from Ethan’s bodyguard. It would probably take him half a year to recover from his injuries. As for the rest,
she remained completely ignorant.
“Really?” Josephine asked curiously. “How can you not know about this? It was the trending headline of this
morning’s news! Our company has been credited for the discovery. As the person in charge of the interview, it’s
only natural that the credit goes to you!”
Josephine immediately realized that Ethan must have settled the matter for her. Therefore, the credit for the
investigation into Vital Corp actually belonged to him.
I can’t believe he didn’t say a word to me. She couldn’t help feeling slightly resentful. At that moment, Mr. Fox
walked over with a capable and experienced woman behind him. Josephine, come here. This person will be your
successor, so please hand over your current tasks to her.”
Josephine was thrown into confusion once more. It has only been the third day since I was absent from work. Why
does the company already have a successor for my position?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Hello, Miss Jacobson. I am the newly hired employee, Esther Fleming. I look forward to working with you.” The
woman had clearly been poached from another company. “Hello, Esther. Hang on, I’ll grab you a chair.” Josephine
gave Esther a warm welcome.
Josephine’s reaction stunned Esther. When Esther was in the restroom earlier, she heard the news that Josephine
was the future female boss of the company. Hence, she had been worried that Josephine would be difficult to
approach. She did not expect Josephine to be so friendly. Mr. Fox immediately said to Josephine, “Have a seat, Joey.
I’ll find a chair for her.”
“Thank you very much, Mr. Fox!” Josephine smiled. The truth was that he was eager to curry favor with her. He
never imagined that her future. would change so drastically in less than a month.
She had gone from an unknown reporter to the lady boss of a large company in the blink of an eye. Meanwhile, he
only managed to become the team leader after working hard for so many years. Sigh! That’s just life! The world is
never equal after all.
Afterward, Josephine started transferring her work to Esther. It was fortunate that Esther was experienced in their
profession, so she learned the ropes quickly. She even took the opportunity to settle some matters. In the
meantime, Josephine and Wren chatted with each other in the pantry.
