Chapter 68

Whitney returned to Banyan City the following day

The Valentine Corporation was in turmoil. Banks were clamoring for their loans, the stock price had hit rock” bottom, and partners were causing chaos. The corporation was reeling from a massive blow.

Preston had yet to return home. His whereabouts were unknown, probably gallivanting around who–knows–where.

Yvonne was fuming. Her complexion was pale and haggard with frustration.

Meanwhile, the upheaval at Skye Gem Ltd. was even more severe.

Since Monica had taken the reins, her impatience for success had led to a flurry of jewelry orders in just two months, which resulted in inconsistent quality. Her poor decision–making was bad enough, but now, as the chief designer, she was caught red–handed for plagiarism and bribery. Numerous partners were pulling out of contracts, leaving Skye Gem Ltd. facing a gaping hole of penalty fees.

Shareholders were furious at their losses and regretted siding with Monica over Whitney, not believing in Whitney’s ability to win the competition.

Now they had no choice but to strip Monica of her position and kick her out of the company to distance themselves from the plagiarism scandal!

This was previously unthinkable, as Monica was the second–largest shareholder. But during this critical meeting, Simon did something unexpected: he allowed the shareholders to have their way.

Monica was in disbelief. She couldn’t stand being dismissed. If she lost her grip on Skye Gem Ltd., that meant her position as the second largest shareholder would be nothing but an empty title.

She was enraged but unable to locate Simon.

He was dodging her by staying absent from the company.

After days of stalking, Monica finally caught sight of Simon.

He was on a date in an extremely posh French restaurant, being introduced to a debutante from a renowned Banyan City family!

Monica’s chest was ready to burst with anger. She stormed in and screamed, “Simon, you lowlife! What are you up to behind my back? Flirting with other women and ready to discard me so soon? I, Monica, am not yet defeated, you…

Her fury wasn’t containable so she grabbed a bottle of wine, ready to douse the contemptible woman before her.
