Chapter 128

Mary had been busting her ass for years trying to hold onto her position, pushing herself so hard she barely saw her own son anymore. Now, all she felt was total exhaustion and regret.

Honestly, sticking around wasn’t worth it–these people wouldn’t rest until they’d forced her out, no matter

what.

Still, if she could manage to save someone’s life before leaving, maybe that’d mean she hadn’t wasted all these

years.

“As long as you don’t involve that girl in whatever you’re planning, I’ll write up my resignation letter right now -I’ll quit tomorrow,” Mary said, her voice firm even though inside, she was falling apart.

Mary knew–maybe she could save the girl this time, but if it happened again, she’d be helpless.

Besides, this girl wasn’t the only victim caught up in all this.

Leon’s eyes twinkled with amusement, his face practically buzzing with excitement. “You sure about that?”

Mary nodded, bitterness twisting in her chest. She’d poured thirteen years into this company–how could she just walk away now?

‘But this place stopped making room for me a long time ago,‘ Mary thought.

Leon slapped the table and smirked. “Alright, deal.”

Mary didn’t bother saying anything else. She’d always despised Alex Wilson and his circle–all rotten to the core, treating Starlight like it was just some private harem selection. God knows how many girls they’ve preyed on over the years. Honestly, they’re nothing but animals.

As Mary stepped out, the girl was waiting for her right outside the door.

“Ms. Hall…” the girl whispered, her voice shaky.

Mary wasn’t the type to complain or wallow. She slowly unclipped her work badge, her voice steady yet distant. “I’m sending in my resignation tomorrow. Tonight, you won’t have to go to that party, but they’ll keep coming after you. Just… look out for yourself, okay?”

The girl’s eyes brimmed with tears, lips trembling as the reason for Mary’s leaving hit her all at once.

She quickly wiped away her tears, forcing herself to sound brave. “Alright, I’ll go to the party if that’s what it takes. Ms. Hall, I know how much you’ve sacrificed for this company.”
