Chapter 2 That evening , as I was packing my belongings in my apartment , a notification sound from a social media platform alerted me to an update from a special follow .
I opened it and saw a video of Henry and Annie .
They were on a beach , kissing under a grand fireworks display .
Watching this scene , memories flooded back like a tidal wave .
When Henry loved me the most , he promised to give me the most romantic fireworks show and propose to me under the fireworks .
I put away my phone and looked at the pile of packed boxes , feeling empty inside , I used to think Henry and I would be together forever .
I had bought so many things to decorate the home of my dreams , but leaving turned out to be easier than I had imagined .
After sending off my luggage , I returned to Williams Group .
I walked into the office and found my belongings scattered in a corner , and the office had been redecorated in pink .
I glanced outside the door , and my colleagues avoided eye contact with me .
They pretended to be busy with their work , keeping their heads down and saying nothing , until a Chapter 7 commending votes broke the silence .
Harry up .
Throw out that desk too .
Its hideous , The teste here is an outdated , Anma walked in , looking at me smugly .
Sorry , Henry said this office is mine now , You havent been here , so I took the liberty of organizing your things .
You dont mind , do you , old bitch ? I gave her a faint glance , ignored her , and crouched down to search for a trophy that meant a lot to me .
But I couldnt find it no matter how hard I looked .
Tlooked up at Annie .
Where did you hide my trophy ? Anne pailled out a cylindrical glass trophy from the desk .
Are you talking about this cheap thing ? I reached out to her , Give it back to me .
She looked at me , a scornful smile on her face , her eyes filled with malice .
I had a bad feeling and tried to grab the trophy .
Chapter 2 The next moment , the trophy was smashed heavily onto the ground .
I froze , staring at the shattered glass on the floor .
The anger I had been suppressing finally erupted .
I pushed her away .
What the hell gives you the right to break it ? 3/7 This trophy was the first national innovation award I had won during college , and it was because of this achievement that Henrys Williams Group had been able to grow .
Later , when Williams Group lacked clients , I gave up my beloved research and development to switch to sales .
This trophy had always been placed in the most prominent spot , reminding me not to abandon my original passion .
I had planned to return to research and development after marrying Henry .
I crouched down and picked up the metal base , which bore my name and honor .
Even if it was broken , I would collect the fragments .
Suddenly , I heard a whimpering cry and Henrys furious voice behind me .
Cynthia , what did you do ? I turned around , startled .
Annie was sobbing in Henrys arms , a trace of blood on her Chapter 2 The next moment , the trophy was smashed heavily onto the ground .
I froze , staring at the shattered glass on the floor .
The anger I had been suppressing finally erupted .
I pushed her away .

Cynthia , what did you do ? I turned around , startled .
Annie was sobbing in Henrys arms , a trace of blood on her Chapter 2 elbow from the shattered glass .
It hurts so much , Henry … 4/7 Henry held her elbow , blowing on it tenderly , then glared at me .
Cynthia , how could you be so vicious ? Was your usual nice persona all an act ? It was my decision to let Annie take your position .
You didnt dare confront me , so you bullied a naive girl who just graduated .
I stood up and looked at them .
I recalled that I had pushed Annie , but I hadnt pushed her to the ground .
It wasnt me .
Then who was it ? Are you saying you didnt push her ? Do you think Im blind ? Other employees poked their heads out , curious about the commotion .
Arent you going to apologize to Annie ? Dont you have any manners at all ? Have all these years in sales been for nothing ? Did you get your orders by playing up to clients ? I tightened my grip on the metal base , feeling deeply humiliated .
My resentment spilled out uncontrollably .
Since I was leaving Chapter 2 anyway , I might as well vent about the injustices I had suffered .
With red eyes , I shouted at him , Henry , how can you insult me like this ? Do you have any conscience ? Do you know how much Ive sacrificed for Williams Group over the years ? I braved wind and sun to bring in clients for you .
I stayed up late revising proposals .
Youre right , you are blind .
Youve not only dismissed all my efforts and achievements , but youre also slandering me .
Who told you that ? Annie ? Do you trust her so much ? Youve only known her for six months .
After I finished speaking , I glared at him .
Henry was speechless .
He hadnt expected me , who had always been obedient , to fight back .

He felt humiliated in front of his employees , and his expression turned terrifying .
I didnt want to deal with them anymore and was about to leave when Henry suddenly grabbed my arm forcefully .
A hard slap landed on my face , and a ringing sound filled my ears .
Everyone was stunned .
You hurt Annie and think you can just leave ? Its not that easy .
5/7 Chapter 2 Annie and I may have only known each other for six months , but shes purer than you .
How could a fresh graduate be as scheming as a woman whos been dealing with men for years ? I believe she wouldnt lie to me .
And now shes hurt , but youre standing here unharmed .
I covered my face , looking at him in disbelief .
Even when we argued in the past , he had never hit me .
But for Annie , he had crossed that line .
I felt my heart die .
All the words I wanted to say were stuck in my throat , and I no longer wanted to argue .
Henry , dont fight with Cynthia because of me .
Annie , pretending to be fragile in Henrys arms , let out a sob .
My wrist hurts so much .
Henry anxiously picked her up .
Before leaving , he glanced at me and issued a cold command .
Im transferring you to the Spring County branch .
Come back once you know your mistake .
Pack your things and get out .
Now !
