Chapter 358: Miss Berry Is the Executioner

It was Monday morning at 9 o’clock, right when it was time to start work, at the Foley Group.

Employees dressed in black and white professional suits crowded into the elevator, chatting and gossiping among themselves. Small groups of three or five huddled together, discussing the latest rumors they had heard.

One female employee reached out and nudged her colleague who was busy checking herself in a small mirror. She leaned closer and whispered in her ear, ‘Hey, have you heard?’

‘Heard what?’ The female colleague looked at herself in the mirror, smiled self-assuredly, and dabbed her lips, making her lipstick even darker.

‘You don’t know? The company released an announcement this morning, and they’ve removed Director Berry from her position.’

Director Berry? Wasn’t she the new hire? She was just a junior supervisor in the HR department. But the mere amount of shares she held was enough for the regular employees to admire for a lifetime. Envy wouldn’t get them anywhere.

Hearing the two women discussing the topic, others in the elevator became curious and joined in the conversation.

‘I heard that Miss Berry caused Mr. Foley’s former wife to have a miscarriage, which is why Mr. Foley broke up with her after finding out the truth.’

‘Is it true? I’ve met Mr. Foley’s ex-wife before, a young and lovely girl. It’s really quite pitiful.’

‘The most pitiful is the child, just discovered and gone. It’s surprising, isn’t it? The gentle and elegant Miss Berry turned out to be an executioner!’

‘Hey, do you think Mr. Foley will choose Miss Berry or his ex-wife? I guess it’ll be Miss Berry. I heard they had a ten-year childhood friendship, and having another child is easy.’

‘I’m not so sure about that. They just announced this morning that they’re stripping Miss Berry of all her positions in the company. I bet the next step is to buy out her shares!’

‘No way?’
