“Quinn, I always suspected you might have something to do with Brandon, but never in my wildest dreams would i have thought you were his wife.”


    It was known to everyone in the design circle that Tiffany was an artful and observant person. On more than once asion, she noticed that Garrett was secretly helping Natalie. But she knew that Garrett had a girlfriend at the time, so Tiffany boldly guessed that it wasn’t him who was in a rtionship with Natalie, but Brandon After all, Garrett worked for Brandon. It made sense that Garrett would pull the strings in Natalie’s favor for his boss.


    Now that her guess was confirmed, Tiffany was calm. She was not a snobbish person. She had grown a little partial to Natalie, but only because she appreciated her talent and work ethic.


    But she always maintained fairness as the department director and dealt with thepany’s affairs professionally Natalie took a deep breath.


    “Miss Fisher, he is his own person, as I am my own. I still work for you. I won’t vitepany rules just because I’m the CEO’s wife. Don’t worry.” Natalie couldn’t figure out what was going on in Tiffany’s mind, but she tried to make her intentions clear anyway. Tiffany smiled and waved her hand dismissively.


    “I’m not worried about that. I’ll be as strict as usual, and you’ll still be criticized if you do something wrong.” As she spoke, she stood up and walked up to Natalie.


    “But let me ask you this question as a friend: now that everybody knows that you’re Mr. Larson’s wife, what’re your ns for the future?”


    Stunned, Natalie lowered her head and said softly, “I haven’t figured it out yet.”


    Tiffany heaved a sigh of relief.


    “You are very talented, Quinn. It’d be a pity if you gave up your career just because you married a billionaire. Everyone in the Larson Group now knows who you are. If you choose to stay here, people will definitely fawn over and tter you. You’re unlikely to encounter any obstacles and will easily climb the corporatedder. That being said, staying in this kind of environment might not be good for your career growth. Take Patty’s case as an example. If you want to hone your skills further, I suggest you lookfor opportunities outside the Larson Group. The world is big. Don’t be a frog in the bottom of a well that can only see a small patch of sky above. A person with a limited outlook won’t make a sess of his or her career.”


    “You want me to leave the Larson Group?”


    With her lips slightly parted, Natalie looked at Tiffany in disbelief.


    She could tell that Tiffany was just being frank but sincere and straight to the point


    “Are you sentimentally attached to thispany?”


    At a nce, Tiffany knew what was weighing on her mind immediately Natalie shook her head. After a long while, she said slowly.


    “Ive what I do, and I would want to advance my career, I’ll consider your suggestion carefully, Miss Fisher.”


    Tiffany smiled, although there was a trace of sadness in her eyes. “No matter what path you take, it’ll be difficult That’s life. What matters is that you’re happy and live with no regrets.” Natalie looked at Tiffany steadily.


    After holding each other’s gaze for a few seconds, they both broke into smiles, Natalie stood up to leave, but Tiffany stopped her.


    “I forgot to tell you something. I was so caught up in giving you advice that I forgot that Mr. Larson sent me a message. He said that he had contacted Ronald and got the necessary information from him. It was true that it was Patty who offended him. So now you can rify the misunderstanding and prove to everyone that you’re innocent.”


    Tiffany acted post haste. The moment she had the evidence, she called a meeting of all those in the design department Once everyone had arrived at the meeting, she yed the recording of Ronald’s confession for them.


    The employees were indeed bbergasted but, at the same time, they had expected something like that to have happened Many people in the design department spoke for Patty because of her rtionship with the executive of thepany Everyone was also well aware of the fact that Patty was highly impulsive and irresponsible, so it definitely wasn’t beyond her to pass the buck to Natalie. Patty’s face drained of all color in an instant.She felt shame wash over her entire being as she listened to the recording Ronald had even dared to call her a bitch. in all honesty, the moment Patty had found out that Natalie was Brandon’s wife, she knew her conniving tricks would inevitably be exposed. These days, she was suffering from intense and deep-seated anxiety.


    “I was scared at that time, so my mind was a mess, and I said it was Quinn who hit Mr. Williams. l’m sorry for my conduct.”


    A second after the recording ended, Patty promptly burst into tears and buried her face in her hands. She was the viin who had ndered and framed Natalie in the first ce.


    Now, however, she cried pathetically and yed the part of the wronged victim to the tee. Natalie scowled, but before she could get a single word out, her colleagues hade up to her and apologized.


    “Quinn, so it turns out that it wasn’t you who did it. We discussed about it before and did suspect that it couldn’t have been you because you are such a sweet, kind person. You could never have done such a thing.”


    “Sincerest apologies, Quinn. We just heard rumors from other colleagues and got caught up in the web of lies. We wronged you and judged you before we figured out the truth. You are such a good person. I hope you won’t take it to heart.”


    All her fellow employees apologized, one after the other, in honeyed tones with ttering expressions on their faces. They had never talked to Natalie in such a humble tone.


    Noisy, hypocritical voices made her feel wholly ufortable. She knew very well that they did this mainly due to the fact that she was Brandon’s wife, “It’s alright. Let bygones be bygones.”


    With a faint smile on her face, Natalie fiddled with her fingers ufortably She was truly upset. Everyone was apologizing to her, but she was the furthest thing from happy


    “s...”


    This was the eighth time that Sebastian had sighed this morning. He put his hand on his forehead, feelingpletely helpless and distressed, It seemed like he had beenpletely drowned by depression.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    “Is Natalie still angry with you? To be frank, I think it’s best for you to sort out any problems between the two of you as soon as possible, alright? Your soul mood will make us all unhappy.” Garrett felt downcast.


    As long as Sebastian was upset, he would give his subordinates copious amounts of work toplete.“She still doesn’t want to talk to me,” said Sebastian in a gloomy voice. He always ended up feeling so helpless when it came to Natalie.
