Chapter 1223 You''re Not Helping
"What are you talking about, Aunt Melissa? It wasn''t your son''s fault. Sheryl is the one to me. If she
hadn''t made up stories to set me up, he wouldn''t have treated me that way. He was fooled by Sheryl!"
Le said.
"You''re right, Le. Would you like to return to work at Shining Company?" Melissa echoed
immediately. She had forgotten that Le didn''t have a job. However, since Le brought it up, it
dawned on her that Le could work at Charles''pany. That way, Le would get more chances to
be near her son.
Although she wasn''t sure whether Charles would agree to this, she was willing to give it a shot for his
future happiness.
In fact, it wasn''t a big deal. The worst result would be Charles refusing her request.
Hearing Melissa''s question, Le knew her wish would be fulfilled soon. And she needed to act well in
front of Charles'' mother. Fixing a pitiful look on her face, Le wanted to arouse Melissa''s sympathy so
that she would go to great lengths to talk her son into offering her a job. "Really, Aunt Melissa? Do you
think I could work at Shining Company again?" Le gushed, her eyes sparkling as she took hold of
Melissa''s hand.
"You have no idea how much I want to go back to work there. I was just afraid that Mr. Lu wouldn''t hire
me, so I..."
"Don''t worry, I''ll take care of this. I''ll persuade Charles to offer you a position. Rest assured," Melissa
dered firmly.
"Thank you, Aunt Melissa. You''re the best," Le said calmly, trying to contain her excitement.
She immediately started brainstorming ways to win Charles'' heart once she started working with him
again.
Meanwhile in Tarsan Corporation, Rachel and Holley had serious problems.
Nopany was willing to work with them. Out of options, Rachel called Lance, but he didn''t answer
the phone.
"What is Lance thinking? Isn''t he afraid I might expose those videos to the public?" Rachel yelled in an
irritated tone. Simmering with rage, she didn''t know how to vent.
"What''s your n, Ms. Bai?" Holley inquired. She had no idea what game Lance was ying.
"I have no clue. What about you? Didn''t you say you''d always help me? What should we do? Why can''t
you give me some good advice at this critical moment? What''s wrong with you?" Rachel raised her
voice, ring at Holley. Holley''s tricks never worked, and this enraged Rachel.
In Holley''s eyes, Rachel was a short-tempered and timid perfectionist. Once something didn''t go as she
expected, she would re up and be unreasonable. Looking at the angry woman, Holley shook
her head in frustration. ''She looks like a shrew, '' she thought.
"You''re seriously asking what my n is? My n has already started and is still on," Holley responded
in aposed manner as she took a seat opposite her boss.
"What do you mean? I hate guessing. What''s your n? Just tell me right now," Rachel demanded
testily.
"Cool down. I copied those videos and gave them to a person who can get to Lance''s wife. If Lance
backed out and stopped working with us, his wife would get those videos," Holley exined.
"Have you lost your mind, Holley? Why did you give those videos to others?" Rachel went ballistic.
''I took Holley''s advice to threaten Lance with those videos, and that upset him, '' she thought.
"How could you say that? I was trying to help," Holley snapped. She couldn''t stand it when Rachel was
unreasonable. ''I did nothing wrong. Why do I have to endure this?'' she thought, miffed.
"Shut up! You''re not helping. You were trying to destroy me!" Rachel seethed.
"Ms. Bai, I don''t know why you said that. I was doing this for you, for yourpany!" Holley reasoned.
"Is that so? Do you never use your brain? Are you sure you can trust this person who can get to
Lance''s wife? What if that person gives the videos to Lance''s wife for money?" Rachel blurted out her
biggest concern.
She didn''t know whom Holley gave the videos to, and that was why she had no faith in that person.
''What if Lance''s wife bribes that person with money?'' she thought.
Holley trusted the person she hired, so she assured Rachel, "That''s not gonna happen..." However,
Rachel didn''t give her the chance to finish.
"How do you know? Can you exin to me what is going on? Why did Lance suddenly cut us off? We
didn''t do anything to offend him," Rachel retorted in a reproachful tone. ''Lance''s wife must have

watched those videos and had a big fight with him. Now those videos are not a threat to him anymore,
so he doesn''t want to have anything to do with us, '' she spected.
Holley was left speechless. ''She is a stubborn woman. I don''t think I can change her mind, '' she
thought.
"Get lost, Holley. I''m fed up with you!" Rachel bellowed at Holley hysterically. At this point, she was
furious and regretful. She couldn''t believe that Holley was such an ipetent person. Had she
known about this earlier, she wouldn''t have returned from abroad.
She had expected Holley to help her, but it turned out that she was wrong.
"Fine. If you don''t want to see me, I''ll leave," Holley replied nonchntly. She threw the documents on
Rachel''s desk before storming out of the office.
Staring at Holley''s retreating figure, Rachel got even more upset. Realizing that she could rely on no
one else but herself, she drew in a deep breath and resolved to give it onest shot.
Dialling Lance''s number with a new caller ID, she thought to herself, ''I want to see if he''ll answer the
phone now.''
A few secondster, Lance picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"Mr. Zhan, it''s Rachel," she replied with joy in her voice, seemingly clutching at straws. "Last time you
said..."
"How could you be so shameless, Rachel Bai? I didn''t take your call. Isn''t that clear enough to you?
How dare you keep bugging me? You''re so rude, you know that?" Lance shouted in contempt. The
harsh tone in his voice made Rachel furious. But since she had to turn to him for help, she couldn''t
afford to mess around.
"What''s going on with you, Mr. Zhan? I''m so sad. How could you be so horrible to me?" she said
coquettishly, afterposing herself.
