Chapter 1726


    With that, Raeleigh scanned the crowd and added, "I know it is not easy for you to achieve even a


    little sess; I have been there too."


    "But if you want to seed in this industry, you have to make a statement."


    "Although I had brought a huge fortune to Richards Group, I did not take a single cent with me when


    I left. Even my achievements were left with thepany."


    "This is the rule of this field. I had vited the rule first. There''s no reason for thepany to make


    an exception for an employee who disobeyed the rules."


    "If I had stayed in Richards Group, I would have received much better benefits than most people."


    "And if I stayed until the end of my contract, my achievements would''ve belonged solely to me."


    "By that time, I could even start mypany using my name."


    "However, I didn''t do that. I insisted on leaving, and for that, I had to pay the price."


    The crowd was floored at Raeleigh''s statement. "Our president is the Raeleigh Anson?"


    "That''s me." "But aren''t you Osteen?"


    Raeleigh did not answer but looked over at Cindy''s disdainful face instead and said, "You are not


    allowed to take anything with you if you leave. You haven''t contributed anything to thepany, so


    you mustpensate us before leaving."


    "I took pains to negotiate with Mr. Richards back then, begging him to let me off the hook. It was


    only then that things didn''t turn ugly and that he wouldn''t sue me in court. However, I had to let go of


    a lot too."


    "Since you have nothing to lose, you can onlypensate us."


    "But you already promised that you would not sue me at the restaurant," Cindy defended,


    unconvinced.


    Raeleigh said, "I don''t remember promising you anything, but based on my understanding of Mr.


    Richards, he would never allow others to jump ship when he has just taken over Bloom Aksea


    Group. His way of doing things would be to punish the person as a warning to others. Otherwise, if


    he let you off the hook just like that, thepany would be in chaos as everyone would have quit


    their positions without consequences."


    "But you promised me."


    "Really? Tell me then, how did I promise you?"


    Raeleigh asked indifferently.


    Cindy thought for a moment and said, "You and Mr. Richards were about to have dinner when I


    begged you two. Mr. Richards refused to let this slide and insisted that I mustpensate the


    company. However, you suddenly stood up for me, saying that I can walk away without spending jail


    time orpensating thepany."


    "And then?"


    "And then, Mr. Richards said to do as you said, and I thanked you two."


    Fixing her gaze at Cindy, Raeleigh twisted the truth, "I don''t remember any of that. I only remember


    you ogling at Mr. Richards the whole time, thanking him non- stop before you leave. Your disdain for


    me that day is still fresh in my mind, but no matter how hard I try to recall, I just don''t remember


    promising you anything."


    "You... How can you lie like that?"


    "Since you choose to twist the truth, I can forget everything too. Do you actually expect me to treat


    you with respect when youe to make a scene in front of mypany?"


    Raeleigh took her time speaking, and the crowd had a good idea that Miss Anson only went back


    on her words when Cindy was being sinister.


    Everyone agreed Cindy had crossed the line. If she dared to seduce Miss Anson''s fiance in front of


    her, she would probably do worse when she was not around.


    They were on Miss Anson''s side, thinking the ruckus-causing, shameless woman should be put in


    jail.


    "How dare you do this, Raeleigh Osteen. It must be because you''re jealous that I''m younger and


    prettier than you, and you''re afraid Mr. Richards would fall for me, so you want to destroy me."


    "I''ve given you a chance, Cindy, but you waved it goodbye. I already told you I don''t have the final


    say in this matter. If you don''t believe me, I can show you the proof. I believe it might help you."


    Raeleigh looked over at a tech guy and ordered, "Please connect the surveince monitor to my


    phone."


    "Yes, Miss Anson."


    With that, he saw to it that instant while she made a video call to Jepherson.


    Jepherson answered the call in two shakes. He was in his pajamas, looking at Raeleigh, but


    frowned and leaned against the sofa when he caught a glimpse of Jared. "What''s the matter?"


    Staring at the man in violet pajamas, Raeleigh was lost in thought for a moment before she quickly


    drifted her gaze to the surveince monitor. The crowd was shocked by Jepherson''s appearance;


    he was obviously at home, about to go to bed. After all, it wasn''t every day they got to see such a


    big shot.


    Everyone gasped and gawked at Jepherson as he appeared on the monitor, looking as handsome


    as a king.


    Cindy''s eyes widened. She stumbled two steps forward, then paused. Raeleigh almost burst into


    laughter when she saw her reaction. How goodlooking could someone get for people to be this


    captivated? He was no ordinary scourge.


    Raeleigh spoke up, "Mr. Richards, when we were out for dinner the other day, a designer chased


    after us and asked us to let her off the hook, begging us not to sue her. She said I gave her my


    word, but I don''t remember doing that. Do you, Mr. Richards?"


    Then, she switched to her back camera to let Jepherson take a look at the scene. Cindy


    immediately said to the phone, "It''s me, Mr. Richards."


    Cindy''s voice and attitude changed instantly. However, Raeleigh wasn''t bothered.


    Annoyance shed across Jepherson''s face as he said, "What is this? Turn around."


    Cindy was utterly stunned while Jepherson''s mood brightened a little after Raeleigh switched back


    to the front camera.


    Only then did he answer Raeleigh, "I don''t remember either."


    "That''s impossible," Cindy eximed.


    "Raeleigh, have you eaten yet?"


    Jepherson changed the subject, not caring about the crowd; his adoring tone had everyone


    convinced all the president of Richards Group had eyes for was Miss Anson.


    "Not yet. I won''t keep you from resting anymore."


    Raeleigh hung up before Jepherson could say anything more.


    She looked up at Cindy. "You heard it. I didn''t promise you anything."


    "Are you saying I''ve gone insane? You promised me. You. Mr. Richards..." Cindy pursed her lips,


    hesitant for a second, "Even Mr. Richards said he doesn''t remember."


    "It must be you. You told him to do this."


    Cindy jabbed her finger at Raeleigh like a madwoman.


    Raeleigh pointed out, "I already said, there has to be at least a witness. But there isn''t one that''s on


    your side."


    With that, she swept a nce at the crowd and said, "Alright, break it up. Go back to your stations."


    "This isn''t the end, Raeleigh Osteen. You jealous b*tch."


    Raeleigh stood up and said, "I don''t know what this jealous b*tich you''re talking about is, but I do


    know unqualified, and that''s you. I don''t know how you managed to tter me when you first joined


    thepany. But since you did nothing for thepany to this day, you are unqualified. So stop


    wasting your time."
