The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 1566

Calvin felt a chill creep up from his toes as he faced Mr. Belcher, his voice edged with desperation. "Mr. Belcher, please, just give me one more chance. I'll go apologize to Hank right now."

"It's too late for that," Mr. Belcher replied, a slight curl at the corner of his mouth, his tone utterly devoid of emotion.

Calvin tried to interject, "But the whole Tech Center thing, you know—"

Mr. Belcher cut him off sharply, "Enough, Calvin. Last year, when that plagiarism scandal hit your department, I gave you a shot. Your repeated inability to handle things right has brought this on yourself."

Really? He thought he could just shift the blame?

Mr. Belcher looked away, not even bothering to glance back at Calvin.

Seeing Mr. Belcher's cold demeanor, Calvin realized there was no room for negotiation at all. It wasn't just about the demotion; it was more about Mr. Belcher needing to cut him loose to keep his ties with the Tech Center intact.

Calvin walked out of the office, feeling utterly crushed.
