Chapter 46 Should I Keep Her

Emelle stood defensively in front of Cindy.

“Don’t you know it’s illegal to assault someone, Mr. Ramsey? You should be lucky she chose to side with us. Otherwise, you’d be convicted for setting up sples in someone else’s company. It wouldn’t matter how rich you are then. You wouldn’t be able to spend a single cent once you’re behind bars!”

Jeremy was left at a loss for words.

In the end, he angrily signed the contract. He even threatened Cindy before he left, clearly going to get his revenge against her someday.

Cindy sobbed as she went over to William. “Mr. Middleton…”

The credit for winning this negotiation went to Cindy, not to mention the slap she’d suffered. On some level, Cindy had taken that slap in William’s stead.

Emelie figured William would want to “console” Cindy now. As such, she gestured for the other staff to leave the private room, giving the two privacy.

Emelie merely made a shushing gesture.

Her colleagues shook their heads, not understanding how William could have liked Cindy.
