Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim by Dream Fish

Chapter 289

"Ms. Graham, are you really going to force him to quit? A person like him may seem friendly and able to handle things smoothly in any situation on the surface, but in reality, he is someone who holds grudges and seeks revenge. I'm worried he'll retaliate against you," Clara warned anxiously.

Angela smiled, exuding confidence. "Let him try to retaliate. He's no good anyway. Over the years, he's used his position to shove a bunch of brainless idiots into the company. If we don't deal with him this time, it'll just come back to bite us later. It's better to take him out completely now."

Having cleaned up the trash, Angela felt particularly cheerful.

She planned to take a drive over the next couple of days-to cruise around the suburbs, enjoy the mountains and waters outside the city, and basically treat herself to a day off.

With that idea in mind, she immediately set things in motion, wrapping up all company affairs two days in advance and delegating anything unfinished to Clara.

Just like any other day, she left for work as usual, clocked in, and at 10:20 am, she made her escape from the office, heading straight for the underground parking lot.

Alas, she failed to notice a shadowy figure sneaking away through one of the parking lot's corridors.

Spending every day in skyscrapers made stepping out to see the outside world feel incredibly refreshing. She drove leisurely, enjoying the slow, relaxing journey. Soon, she reached the outskirts, where traffic thinned out, and she gently pressed on the accelerator, heading toward her destination.

Gradually, though, she began to notice something was off.
