No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 128

"What? So soon?" She was clearly taken aback.

"Jacqueline, to be honest, from the day Conrad and I decided not to go through with our marriage, I was already preparing to resign," I told her confidently, without a hint of unease.

She shook her head, "You don't have to do that, Felicia. If it's awkward, you could transfer to a different branch or department, just to keep some distance from him."

"Jacqueline, I know you're worried about me facing hardships out there, but I still want to explore other opportunities," I made my stance clear.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at me, and finally, she shook her head, "How could this be? It's one thing not to be my daughter-in-law, but leaving the company too? Felicia, are you planning to leave us for good?"
