Gale clenched her teeth, “If I killed you, I’d have to NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

compensate with my life! Who’d want to do a losing deal like that?!”

He smirked, “You minx.”

Duphine, who was still on the ground, carefully asked, Mr. Wood, m–may I go back to work? It’s just a small matter, I’m not blaming Gale for anything. I won’t take up any more of your valuable time.”

“Work?” Shawn raised an eyebrow, “From now on, you’ve been fired.”

“What?!”

“You can leave after you get your things.”

Duphine felt like she had just been struck by thunder. She never expected herself to lose her job just like that!

Working at the Wood Group was considered the best career path in Sea City. So many people dreamed about working here, especially with the lucrative salaries!

Yet, she was just fired!

Right on cue, Fiona was back with the coffee, “Mr. Wood, here.”

Steam was coming out of the hot coffee.

Shawn accepted it and passed it to Gale, “Take it.”

“What for?”

Shawn said, “Pour it on her.”

Gale was stunned, and Duphine rapidly retreated, “N–No

“There’s no need,” Gale said, “That’s too much. It’d just be an abuse of power.”

Duphine regularly bullied her and would always target her in secret, but Shawn had already fired her. That punishment was enough.

“No one asked her to scaled you,” Shawn said, “She deserves it.”

“But…”

“I’m trying to teach you how to abuse your power,” Shawn forced the coffee into her hands, “Gale, being kind and merciful to others is just being cruel to yoursel.f In the future, she won’t be so kind as to show you any mercy if she gets the chance to bully you.”

Furthermore, Shawn was using that chance to announce Gale’s position to everyone in the company.

Whoever dares to bully her in the future would be making an enemy out of Shawn. That was what was happening to Duphine.

Gale held the coffee, feeling the heat on her hands even through the cup.

“Pour,” Shawn said.

She did not move.

Duphine had already shrunk against the wall, her eyes were full of fear, “D–don’t come over…”

Shawn said, “Gale, quickly.”

She held the coffee tightly, and was hesitating when Shawn’s body suddenly leaned into her back.

He held her from behind, holding her hands as he poured the coffee right on Duphine’s body.

“Ah!” Duphine cried out.

Gale frowned, not saying anything.

“It’s not her first time,” Shawn said, “Last time, she even framed you for stealing the ring, and this time she’s trying to snatch your clothes in public. What about next time? Gale, you have to be ruthless in your actions to avoid future troubles.”

Gale looked down, “You’re right. Then do you still remember how Susan said I got her clothes dirty and tried to take mine during the charity auction?”

He pursed his lips.

Gale looked at him, “Why aren’t you dealing with Susan

like this?”

“… She’s different.”

“Yes,” Gale nodded, “After all, you loved her before.”

Gale frowned, “I’ve never loved Susan.”

“Yet, she’s your woman,” Gale said.

Shawn fell silent.

That night…

Something did happen between Susan and her.

Gale suddenly felt a sting in her heart, like a needle had pierced through.

She left Shawn’s arms and left immediately.

Shawn looked at her departing figure, and he gradually became gloomier. He coldly looked around him.

The employees immediately dispersed, sitting in their own spots, not even daring to raise their heads.
