Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 218

I turned to see Brandon grabbing my hand. He glanced at me with softness in his eyes before glaring at Chris. He said with determination, "I won't leave here until the final inspection is complete."

That was just the way he was. The more someone tried to push him out, the more determined he was to stay, just like before.

I was about to hear Chris' response when Brandon squeezed my hand a little tighter and added, "I promised Mae this."

Hearing him calling me 'Mae' and mentioning his promise to me sent a shiver through me.

It also darkened the expression on both Conrad's and Chris' faces. Everyone fell silent and the tension thickened. It felt like the air had been sucked out of the room.

I took a deep breath and broke the silence. "Mr. Conrad, Mr. Chris, even though I'm no longer in charge of this project or employed here, there's one rule I've always remembered. The company's interests always come first and no one has the right to jeopardize them for any reason."

I reminded Conrad that he needed to take responsibility for his own actions. If he wanted to protect someone else, then he should be ready to bear the consequences. In ancient times, even the nobles were held accountable for their crimes just like commoners.
