Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 610 Trying to Silence Me?

What company would keep an employee who had stolen company secrets?

And so, Annette left her job at Alexis without fanfare.

After she left Alexis, Annette walked right into the Saunders Corporation building—she had fallen this low because of Saunders Corporation. David Saunders must take responsibility for this outcome! she thought.

“Mr. Saunders, I have nothing left. You have to keep me, or my family will be doomed!” Annette said to David as she wept.

David was currently fretting over the incident with Fiona. He couldn’t be bothered with Annette right now, so he just gave her a half-hearted reply. “You still have the guts to ask me to keep you? Would the plan have failed and been revealed had you not left traces behind? Now I’ve lost a designer, and Saunders Corporation’s reputation is under scrutiny. I’m already being courteous since I haven’t come knocking on your door looking for compensation. Now get out!”

Annette went quiet. David had made his decision to leave her out to dry. After a moment, she announced confidently, like she had nothing else to lose, “You were the one who promised me a spot in Saunders Corporation in the first place. That was why I even took the risk. If you’re going to renege on your word, then my only choice is to go to the reporters and tell them the truth!”

David lifted his head when he heard that and looked at Annette. “You really are quite unusually gutsy. You dare to even go against me?” he asked darkly.

Annette swallowed fearfully, but she still clenched her fists and prepared herself when she remembered Elise’s orders. “I’m just a nobody. I’m just asking for 10,000 bucks for my salary. You, however, are different. If this incident gets out, Saunders Corporation will be looking at losses numbering in the tens of millions. Mr. Saunders, if you comply, your company will continue to profit. If you don’t, then everyone will be dragged down with me!”

David narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth. He had his fair share of experience because of his age, but here he was, being threatened by a young woman. It certainly didn’t feel great to swallow his pride, but if he didn’t, he would end up facing losses.
