The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 732:

Leah’s expression darkened, her fury simmering beneath the surface. She was ready to lash out, but just as she was about to, her gaze landed on a familiar figure in the crowd.

Her eyes flickered, and in an instant, her demeanor shifted. She masked her anger with an air of innocence, her voice laced with false sorrow. “Emily, I do not know who has been filling your head with nonsense, but words have consequences. Sooner or later, everyone pays the price for what they say.”

“And people also pay the price for what they do.” Emily let out a sharp laugh, unbothered by Leah’s veiled threat. With deliberate nonchalance, she tossed the work badge onto the floor. “Consider this my final word—I am resigning from Burgess Group due to irreconcilable differences. Effective immediately.”

Leah’s face drained of color, her fingers curling into fists at her sides. A flicker of panic flashed in her eyes.
