Chapter 17
Chapter 17 Chloe the Homewrecker
Finding a young and resilient person with a C2 certification in Estrenian was not easy these days, as
many young people tend to quit their jobs at the slightest difficulty and value their freedom greatly.
Perhaps Joseph was just cherishing talent?
William was leisurely sipping on a coffee in his office when he received notice of his dismissal.
The HR manager ced the termination letter in front of him, and it took him a while to realize what
was happening.
“Are you kidding me? I’ve been with Fairlight for fifteen years, and I’m being fired just like that?!”
William shouted.
The HR manager had harbored resentment toward William for quite some time. His smirk conveyed a
sense of satisfaction as he said, “I’m not responsible for this decision. It was made by the CEO.”
William’s spirits plummeted as he spoke, “You may dismiss me but I demand an exnation and
compensation.”
“There’s nopensation,” the manager chuckled. “As for the reason, I’m not quite sure. But many
things don’t have a reason. Like that low score you gave that interviewee today who had a C2
proficiency in Estrenian.”
William froze and his face turned pale. It was only now that he realized Chloe had someone to back her
up. His face turned sour and started packing his things.
As the HR manager was leaving, he pretended to remember something and said, “By the way, tell your
niece that she doesn’t need toe tomorrow.”
Meanwhile, Melody was at home, happily picking out clothes to wear on her first day of work. She tried
on one after another and struck poses in front of the mirror. While she was in the midst of changing into
another dress, she received a call from William.
“What? But you’ve been with Fairlight for so long. How could they fire you just like that?
“We’re just normal friends. She doesn’t have anyone to back her up. I’m telling you the truth.
“Uncle William, I’m not lying! Please let me exin! Wait! Don’t hang up!”
William ignored her and hung up the call. When she tried to call him back, she found that her number
had been cklisted.
Melody threw all of her expensive clothes on the floor in anger. Then, in a fit of rage, she went
to find Ava who was on a date with Jake. The two were enjoying a candlelit dinner together, basking in
each other’spany.
Ava put down her cutlery and asked with a puzzled look, “What’s the matter? What’s got you so riled
up?”
Melody nced at Jake and restrained her anger. “Can youe with me for a moment, Ava?”
“Go with her. I’ll cut your steak for you. You can eat it when you get back,” Jake said with a gentle
smile.
Ava blushed and nodded obediently.
“Your uncle was fired because of that b*tch?!” Ava’s voice suddenly rose. Realizing that Jake was still
nearby, she lowered her voice and asked, “Are you sure it’s not because of some other reason?”
Melody became livid. “What do you mean? Do you think I have nothing better to do than to lie to you?”

“No, that’s not what I meant…” Avaforted her. Suddenly, a thought struck her and her heart sank.
“I saw her riding in a Rolls–Roycest time. Could the owner of that car be involved?”
“Definitely. Her mother died early, her father doesn’t like her, and she’s got no one to rely on. Without
an old man to support her, how could she have gotten my uncle fired?” Melody replied.
Melody was well aware of Chloe’s status in the Johnson family. That was why she was so willing to
take Ava’s side.
Ava clenched her fists. The unknown man behind this must have significant wealth or influence to be
able to pressure the CEO of Fairlight into firing Melody’s uncle. The thought of Chloe relying on an
older man and trampling on her in the future was unbearable to her.
“Say something! You have to help me, Ava…” Melody urged impatiently.
Ava’s eyes flickered and a strange smile appeared on her face. “The man driving the Rolls-
Royce is quite old. He must be married. If their affair gets exposed, do you think he’ll still care about
that b*tch?”
