Chapter 146 Bentley, You Were So Mean
The matter was not so simple as firing a receptionist. For a whole day, Caroline almost collapsed due to exhaustion, but she did not dare to let others know.
God knows she was about to run away the moment she stepped into the chairman's office. But she said to herself, “No way.”
Yes, no way. So she must face and overcome everything. regardless of what she had suffered during the three years in prison. No matter whether her character had been distorted in those three years or not, and whether the three years had made her lose the dignity of standing upright in front of people. from today she must straighten up and overcome the fear, until she lived up to the expectations of grandfather and her heart.
What Caroline did not know was that the man, who was cold and impersonal in her eyes, came back after leaving the building and parked his car at the gate. At the same time, Caroline’s voice rang out in the car. And at the moment, Caroline was working with the top management downstairs of the Jameson family, rolling with the punches in front of those cunning old foxes.
What Caroline said and did in the building reached Bentley's ears simultaneously.
He heard this woman was prepared to fight back when she contended with those old foxes. Even though she has been isolated from society for three years, her solid foundations wouldn't put her in an inferior position at this moment.
Hearing this, Bentley was impressed by the strict education Caroline had received from her grandfather. Born in the Shawn family, he knew it would take a lot of effort even for a man to be as outstanding as Caroline.
Suddenly it occurred to him that this woman had said to him on her nineteenth birthday that all things and achievements related to luck were either because of destiny or one’s efforts which no one else could see.
At that time, he had not paid much attention to these words. After hearing Caroline's arguments and tactics through Henry's phone call today, he understood those words better.
"Caroline, this is a good fight,” turning his head to look at the open door of Living Hope Foundation, Bentley spoke to himself in a magnetic voice with a sense of pride for Caroline.
After he started the car and stepped on the gas, his car sashayed down the road. It turned out that she didn't need his cheap help, and she could do it
Caroline stood at the front of the meeting room with her hands propped on the table. After scanning the top managers in front of her, she knew she won the first battle.
"Since everyone agrees with me, let's all go and do something." She announced the end of the meeting and waited until there was no one else in the conference room except her and Henry. Finally, her feet went weak and she sat down on the floor.
Henry rushed forward. "Ms. Jameson, are you all right?"
Henry was startled when he reached out to help Caroline. "Ms. Jameson, the back of your coat is all wet. I'll ask the secretary outside to buy a new set and send it over.”
"Don't go!” Caroline's eyes narrowed and she immediately stopped Henry. Henry was confused. "But your clothes..."
Caroline looked at Henry and shook her head. "If you go there, it will make them suspect that my confidence and aura were all pretended just now." Her eyes stared at Henry deeply. "Then all my efforts up to now would have been in vain."
Henry opened his mouth, not knowing what to say anymore. Who said that Ms. Jameson was humble?
Who said that she was despicable after her release from prison? Clearly, all of them were blind.
Henry saw it with his own eyes. The woman who was even walking with difficulty now had been standing in the meeting room, confronting those canny aggressive people. In the lion’s den, she was alone to face everything and suppress everything
Caroline inhaled and exhaled fiercely, and only now did her face ease up a bit with some blood. Bracing herself on the ground, she stood up with the pain in her back and legs.
"Let me hold you.” Henry saw her walking in a twisted way and walked up to her hurriedly. Caroline pushed Henry's hand away. "Thanks." She thought, “But I don't need it.” She did not speak out the last sentence, because her actions had already stated her will
When she walked out of the conference room, the secretaries were all looking at her. Caroline ignored them, but took her cell phone out of her pocket and dialed out a number which was in her phone three years ago. "Vivian, it's Caroline. I have taken back Living Hope Foundation, and now I need you guys to came back. "
She said "you guys’, not only "you". On the other énd of the phone,
Vivian coveréd her mouth in shock. For nearly thirty seconds, there was no sound on the phone. Carolinadid not utge Vivian to say. About « almost a minute later, the one on the other aid of the line choked baek a sob and maintained her professionalism.
"Yes. In one hour, Ms. Jameson!" Caroline blinked back the sourness in her eyes. "You're going backwards. You let your emotions get the better of you.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Although Caroline was criticizing Vivian. the latter's eyes were welling up with hot tears. Yes, that was Caroline! Those rumors before were groundless.
How could such a proud and flamboyant woman be willing to lose her pride?
Vivian thought so, but she didn't know that although Caroline was criticizing her as she would do in the past, her mindset was different from then In the past, Caroline did this out of carefulness. Now she was just forcing herself to do these.
An hour later, Vivian led the former team to appear in front of Caroline. "Ms. Jameson, sorry, three out of ten people are missing.”
Vivian said.
Caroline nodded. She could understand why those three people had made the decision and she appreciated the seven people in front of her more because of this. "Thank you for appearing before me today.”
"Ms. Jameson, we are all waiting for you to come back. We always believed thatyyou would come back to Living Fepe Foundation." Vivian's eyes were red. "Ms. Jameson, after the incident, we tried our best te see you,but every time we were blocked inexplicably. Then we wanted to meet you on the day of y6ur expiration of the term.
We arrived there and waited for you for a day, but we did not see you. Then we lost track of you.” Although they heard about gossips about Caroline in Royal Club later, they didn’t dare to find Caroline anymore. Because they knew if the gossip was true, Ms. Jameson wouldn't want them to see her like that.
Vivian's words planted another seed of doubt in Caroline's heart.
Looking at the seven faces in front of her, Caroliné-did not doubt Vivian's words. Knowing that when_ she was erthat kind of place, there had been: someone to worry abalit her and visit her, she felt her heart getti Ing warm. Her heart hadBeen feeézing for a long time, new it had a trace of the temperature @f the living.
But during the three years in prison, she had never known someone had come to visit her. Bentley, you were so mean!
