Love You Enough to Leave You

If you like him, you can go confess, but don’t drag me into it. I don’t want my husband to hear any weird rumors.” Jennifer folded her arms. “As long as you don’t try to seduce him, he’ll fall in love with me someday.” Amelia forced a smile. “Mr. Scott is a grown man. He knows what he wants for himself. It’s not something we can decide for him. I’ll say it again. I already have a husband. I’m not interested in seducing anyone else.” “So are you not going to resign anymore?” “I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I resign?” “Fine, don’t resign then. You better make sure I don’t find out any dirt about you, or else, I’ll make the Clintons kick you out of their family.

I’m sure the Scotts will also be on my side.” “Whatever.” Amelia shrugged. What’s important between two people is that they understand each other. Otherwise, they’re just wasting their breaths. Just like how this conversation is going. “If there’s nothing else, Ms. Larson, I’ll leave first.” “Stop there!” Amelia rolled her eyes in exasperation and asked, “What now?” “Stay away from Carter. He’s mine.” Amelia lowered her head and replied, “Mr. Scott and I are merely platonic friends. Don’t blame me for whatever is happening between you two. Tie him up and keep him for yourself if you can.

Otherwise, he’s my boss, so I definitely will continue interacting with him.” Amelia then left the washroom without looking back. Jennifer stared at herself in the mirror and said angrily, “Amelia, just wait and see. One day, I’ll destroy your entire life.” Jennifer then gave someone a call. When the other person picked up, she said, “Loren? Get someone to track a person for me. I’ll send you the details via email. I need pictures of her acting intimately with other men.” Someone spoke on the other end of the line, then Jennifer replied, “As long as you give me what I want, money is not an issue.”

The other party spoke again, and Jennifer continued, “I’ll wait for your good news. You’ve always handled your previous jobs well, so don’t disappoint me this time.” They exchanged a few more words before Jennifer finally hung up. As she left the washroom, Jennifer put back on her mask of civility. She returned to the dining room and smiled. “Sorry I took so long. I’ll finish off this glass as punishment for being late.” The others stood up and drank with her. They continued drinking for another two or three hours before they finally brought up the contract.

Mr. Reed had initially wanted to negotiate for a lower price. However, after finding out that Amelia was married to Oscar, he simply signed the contract right away. Mr. Reed then turned to Amelia and smiled. “Amelia, could you do me a favor and invite Mr. Clinton to have dinner with me one of these days?” Amelia smiled back politely. “Mr. Reed, I’ll ask him, but I can’t guarantee anything. However, he’ll usually agree as long as he’s not busy with work.” Mr. Reed smiled brightly. “Thanks, Amelia. Don’t worry, I just want to make friends with Mr. Clinton.

Amelia had quite a good impression of Mr. Reed. He was bold and generous and does not nitpick at every little thing. He was definitely someone who would be loyal to his friends. Thus, she answered on behalf of Oscar first. “My husband is always willing to meet for a meal.

just give you a call when I’m free. You can help pass on the message to Mr. Clinton then.” Amelia nodded in reply. They chatted for a while longer before saying their goodbyes. Back in the car, Jennifer said, “You’re such a big shot, Amelia. I think Reed Group only signed the contract so easily because of Mr. Clinton. You’re so good at public relations. As long

but other than that, nothing else is desirable.” That was a huge insult to any woman. It was equivalent to saying that Jennifer does not have any inner beauty. Her only function was to stand around and look pretty. That was perhaps a compliment to ladies who place a lot of importance on their looks.

easily find any high-paying job she wanted. Yet, she decided to join Carter’s average company as a mere director of design. Never mind if Carter did not appreciate it, but he was now saying that her only merit was her good looks. Jennifer could not tolerate this. “Carter Scott, don’t take this too far. Don’t you know how many deals I’ve closed for you since I joined your company? My upbringing and

strong abilities as an excellent public relations personnel. Carter nodded. “I’m thankful that you helped the company to secure many deals. Indeed, the company has become more profitable since you entered. However, you can’t just attack others because of this. If you think

it has nothing to do with her, then tell me, what did I do wrong?

there’s something heavy, I can help you carry it.” He then turned to Jennifer. “Jennifer, drive the car back first. I’ll take a cab with Amelia later.” Jennifer was furious. “Carter, don’t cross the line. Back then, it was the Scotts who requested a marriage of convenience with the Larsons. If your mother hadn’t said that you had no partner, my family would never have rushed
