Redmption 51


    “It’s not your fault. Self–preservation is human nature,” I said sincerely. I truly


    I didn’t me Kara. After all, even among sisters, one would prioritize herself before helping the


    other.


    “Ms. Crown…” Kara shook my arm, wanting to say more.


    But I interrupted her, “Mr. Gildon said that if we don’t resolve the lighting issue, we’ll be held


    responsible. We don’t have time to think about anything else. We need to focus on solving the


    lighting problem.”


    Kara’s eyes widened. “But it’s not our fault. It’s like we’re being med for something we didn’t do.”

    “We are responsible for this project. If there’s a problem, we are the first ones ountable. No


    excuses. If we don’t want to face the consequences, we have to fix the problem,” I said sternly.

    Kara didn’t argue any further. She nodded and turned away. I heard her mutter,” Using public power


    for personal revenge…”


    I understood what she meant. She thought Chris was venting his frustration with me through this


    situation.


    I sighed. Didn’t I know that too? But the more he tried to me me, the more determined I was to


    resolve this issue wlessly. That would leave him. speechless.


    Moreover, this amusement park was my way of fulfilling my dad’s dream. I couldn’t allow any ws.


    My dad was a perfectionist. I wanted to show him that his daughter was just as excellent and


    perfect.


    Kara soon came back with the contact information for the lighting


    manufacturer and the construction tem. made the calls and decided to invite both parties to the site


    to discuss the problem and find a solution.


    They agreed. But the earliest they coulde was the day after tomorrow. So, there was no point


    in stressing for the next two days.


    Considering that Kara had barely sleptst night, I gave her the day off to rest. I also decided to visit


    Gildon estate. I had cleared things up with Chris, but I still


    needed to settle things with the Gildons.


    Just as I was packing up to leave, Jewel came to find me. “Madeline, can we


    talk?”


    “I don’t think we have anything to discuss” I replied. I had just checked the personnel records and


    knew that Jewel joined thepany three days ago. She was in the administration department.


    I was in the project department and had no direct contact with her department. So, her visit couldn’t


    be work–rted.


    “What do you want to talk about, Ms. Massey?” I asked formally.


    Jewel had not only joined the administration department but also became a supervisor. Chris‘


    actions were no different from an ancient emperor


    bewitched by beauty.


    Her being parachuted into the role was one thing. But making her a supervisor


    was sure to spark gossip among employees.


    And he did it without any regard for my feelings. After all, I was his fiancée–to- be. Jewel had just


    been involved in a scandal with him.


    “It’s a personal matter,” Jewel said. Her face was full of embarrassment.


    I nced at the time. “I’m sorry but it’s work hours now.”


    Jewel looked embarrassed. She pressed her lips together. “Then, how about.


    after work?”


    I pointed to my bag. “I’m leaving now, and I have other things to do after work.”


    Jewel’s face turned even more awkward. She looked around. Since there was no one else there,


    she said, “I know you’re upset with Chris because I’m living in that house. I can move out.”


    I smiled. “Jewel, stop pretending. If you wanted to move out, you wouldn’t have. moved in in the first


    ce. And besides…


    I paused, staring at her intensely. “You know the reason Chris and I are at this point is because of


    you. Yet, you stille to work under my nose. What are you trying to do? Do you take me for a


    fool?”


    “I’m just trying to make a living,” Jewel argued weakly.

    Looking at her hypocritical face, I didn’t hold back. “Is Chris‘ any the only


    ce in the world that can support you? Or can you simply not live without him?”


    “Madeline, how can you say that?” Jewel raised her hand.


    I took a step back to maintain some distance between us. “Jewel, thepany is full of surveince


    cameras. Don’t try to do anything funny. It’ll only backfire


    on you.”
