Chapter 10 Loving Father and Filial Daughter

There was a pause on the other end of the line before Benjamin angrily rebuked, “When did I ever ask you to sleep with him? If you can’t handle the project, don’t make excuses to avoid responsibility!”

Chloe frowned and replied, “I didn’t. He was the one who touched me—”

“We’ve been working on this project for a whole year, and you ruined it at the last moment. Your irresponsible behavior has caused the company significant losses!”

“It’s not my fault! If you don’t believe me, you can check the surveillance cameras in the building.”

“That’s enough! No more excuses. Either you take responsibility for the company’s losses or you apologize to Mr. Lionel and beg him to sign the contract. This is your last chance!”

With that, Benjamin hung up the phone, leaving only the sound of the cold, mechanical dial tone in Chloe’s ear.
