Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 773

Chapter 773 Leia Slit Her Wrist

Mavis narrowed her eyes and glared at Nina.

Her well-manicured hands rapped her desk. "What did you see?"

Mavis's tone was unlike her usual coldness. It was stern and close to savage, which made Nina shudder uncontrollably.

She tried to maintain her composure and tried her best to speak calmly. "I didn't see anything, Ms. Laviere. Right, I'm here to ask you about my transfer. I'd like to remain in A City and not transfer to Snowdon District because my father has ill health, and it'll be easier forto take care of him if I remain here. Can you reconsider your decision?"

Mavis leaned back on her chair elegantly, rested her chin on her hand, and chuckled coldly. "The company has arranged the transfer, and it's not good if you want to change it. Also, Ms. Langdon, if every employee starts giving excuses like you, would the company prosper? It's natural that every employee wants to stay in the big city. Who would be the ones to explore the company's frontiers then? I respect my employees, but you should respect the decisions made by higher management."

Mavis sounded as though she was prioritizing the benefits of the company.

There was a hint of cold viciousness in her eyes.

Nina felt a little dejected. "Is there no room for negotiation, Ms. Laviere?"

Ever since Bianca left T Corporation, Mavis had singled out Nina as her bullying target because she knew that Nina and Bianca were good friends. Not only did she assign more work to Nina compared to other colleagues, but she also blocked any chances of Nina getting promoted.

Nina knew that Mavis had never liked her and wanted to transfer her away, but she did not expect Mavis to send her to the remote northwest region hundreds of miles away.

She could not accept that.

"Of course, if you insist on staying, you can always try to plead to Bianca. I know that you're good friends with her," Mavis said mockingly, "I know she takes good care of you, and she'll beg Mr. Crawford on your behalf, maybe in bed. You'll get to stay in the company that way."

Nina could feel the blood rushing into her head. "What are you saying, Ms. Laviere? I might be good friends with Bianca, but I know how to keep my personal and professional life separate. If the company insists on transferringto Snowdon District and no one else fits the job, then I'll have to respect the company's decision. I won't bother you anymore."

She turned around and strode out of the office without giving Mavis another look.

As she turned around, her gaze turned from helplessness to contempt.

If their CEO was still single, Mavis had all the right to win his affection.

However, Mr. Crawford was currently in a blissful marriage with children. Nina could not look up to someone with that character!

In the worst-case scenario, she would resign from T Corporation and join Bianca's company.

As Mavis watched Nina leave, her repressed annoyance flared up again.

Mavis had disliked Nina because of her relationship with Bianca. Now that Nina had discovered her little secret, she would not allow Nina to stay in the company.

After staying in the drug rehab center for almost two months, Jack and Queenie finally removed Leia from that hellish place.

It was not because she was clean, but rather because she tried to kill herself...

Leia broke a vase and cut her left wrist deeply. The flesh was exposed, and the bone could be seen. If the nurse had not found her in tand sent her to the hospital, she might have already died.

Queenie cried miserably in the hospital ward. She could not understand why her daughter would do something stupid.

Leia leaned onto her mother's chest, feeling her mother's warmth and listening to her cry. However, her heart was not warmed at all. She thought that Queenie was faking it.

Before they left her at the drug rehab center, Queenie was crying and hugging her the sway, saying that they would pick her up when she becclean in two days and that they would love her just like before.

However, she attributed all her suffering to her adoptive parents.

Did she hate them?

She had to admit that she resented her adoptive mother, but she knew that Queenie genuinely loved her before Bianca cinto the picture. Queenie would give her the best in everything.

Queenie did not skimp on Leia's food, clothes, and accessories, and she hired the best tutors for her daughter. When Leia grew up and wanted to enter the entertainment industry, Queenie was the only one who stood behind her decision and allowed her to be an actress.

Queenie was the one who had transformed her from a lowly and unwanted orphan to the glamorous and enviable Ms. Norman. However, all that changed after Bianca returned.

Bianca was the birth daughter of Jack and Queenie Norman. They felt guilty that they had neglected Bianca for so many years, and they shifted their care and affection from Leia to her. In a short time, Bianca had replaced Leia’s position in the family.

Despite living in the Norman household for more than a decade, Leia beca much inferior daughter compared to Bianca.

Leia made no sound as she lay on Queenie's lap and listened to her cry sorrowfully. However, her tears did not stop flowing.

Queenie noticed that something was amiss. She held her daughter's hand and touched her face. "Why did you do something stupid, my child? Please don't do that again. My heart can't take it."

Leia narrowed her gaze and pretended that she was out of breath from crying. "I don't want to stay in the drug rehab center anymore, Mom. I'm scared of the dark, and I always feel that there's a ghost that's hauntingevery night. Everyone there bullies me, but none of you believe me. You always think that I'm lying..." "I can't take it anymore. I'm afraid that I'll go crazy if I stay there for another second. I miss you and Dad, but you rarely cand visit me. Don't you know how agonizing it is to think that no one loves me? I was an orphan, and if you and Dad abandon me, I might as well die!"

After Leia said that, Queenie hugged her tightly and burst into tears.

That was the scene that Bianca witnessed when she arrived at the hospital ward...
