Summer wiped away a tear from the corner of wp4webnovel.com eye and sobbed. “Can you at least tell us why? Even if you don’t want to be together, you can still keep working at the company. It’s fine… You’re like a daughter to me.” At this point, something hit her. “Are you angry at me? I’m aware of the issue between Lynn and Jackson. I let Lynn into the house to provoke Jackson into bringing you back to the house to visit me and the sad old man. I was only acting, I’ve already sent Lynn away…”
Tiffany shook wp4webnovel.com head. “That’s not it… It has nothing to do with you.”
Summer’s eyes brimmed with tears. “Then why? I couldn’t seem to call you, and I was completely stupefied when I saw your message. I went to see Jackson, but he’s been holed up in that villa in White Water Bay, like you, as if he’s lost his soul. I talked to wp4webnovel.com for nearly half the day, yet wp4webnovel.com still refused to answer me! I’m not leaving until you’ve given me your reason!”
Tiffany took a deep breath. “I was raped. This happened before Jackson and I got together. He knows and I never kept it from him. Even though he’s accepted it, I can’t. My family background is already incompatible with his, and this has happened to me. I feel inferior… I’ve always thought that wp4webnovel.com and I would never make it to the end. Every time I saw you, I’d feel like a liar. How could the West family possibly accept someone like me? That’s it. It’s my fault. Don’t blame him.”
Summer held wp4webnovel.com breath when wp4webnovel.com heard all of this, staying silent for a very long time. Tiffany was too afraid to even look at Summer’s face. She must be disgusted with her. An affluent family would never be able to accept someone like her… She knew this long ago. Now that wp4webnovel.com had confessed, wp4webnovel.com felt a weight lift off of wp4webnovel.com shoulders. It no longer mattered anyway.
Suddenly, Summer wrapped wp4webnovel.com arms around wp4webnovel.com into a hug. “Tiffie… How could you even think that? It’s not your fault, it really isn’t… Jackson’s heart only aches for yours, and so does mine. Don’t cancel the engagement, please? Let’s forget that foul incident and pretend it never happened…”
Tiffany finally burst into tears. “How can I pretend that it never happened? It did happen… It’s a fact… I can’t wash it away…” Just like how wp4webnovel.com had witnessed Jackson kissing Lynn with wp4webnovel.com own eyes. How could wp4webnovel.com wash that away?
Summer and Atticus finally left at 12AM. Summer’s decision — even though Tiffany had made herself very clear, wp4webnovel.com would like to give Tiffany some time to calm down and carefully reconsider.
By the end of the holidays, Tiffany handed in wp4webnovel.com resignation. She staggered the time during morning working hours on purpose and gave the letter at around noon, just to avoid bumping into Jackson. It would be best to avoid meeting each other, since they had broken up. She did not even say goodbye to the only friend wp4webnovel.com had in the office, Aye, because wp4webnovel.com didn’t want to explain herself all over again. She went to the financial department straightaway and collected wp4webnovel.com salary.
When wp4webnovel.com noticed that wp4webnovel.com lateness and days off were not on record for a pay cut, the weak spots in wp4webnovel.com heart took a hit. Jackson would always threaten to cut wp4webnovel.com pay, but wp4webnovel.com never really acted on it. This time, wp4webnovel.com really didn’t need wp4webnovel.com to give wp4webnovel.com special treatment. She took out the portion of wp4webnovel.com pay that should be cut and left it. Then, wp4webnovel.com turned on wp4webnovel.com heel and left. From this day onwards, they would go their separate ways.
After receiving news from finance about Tiffany’s resignation and wp4webnovel.com having already left, Jackson angrily kicked his office desk and smashed it to pieces. Not even the files and the computer on his desk were spared. When women wanted to be heartless, they could be more cruel than men. She didn’t even want to see wp4webnovel.com one last time and left nothing behind.
Tiffany did not hail a cab to go home after leaving the company. Instead, wp4webnovel.com walked aimlessly along the straight road. She knew that wp4webnovel.com needed a stable job right now, but wp4webnovel.com really wasn’t in the mood for an interview.
Suddenly, a black Bentley stopped on wp4webnovel.com left. She recognized this car; it was Alejandro’s.
Jett winded the window down. “Miss Lane, Mr. Smith has extended an invitation to meet you.”
In the past, wp4webnovel.com would have refused without hesitation, but now, the man who would restrict wp4webnovel.com was gone. No matter who wp4webnovel.com was with or what wp4webnovel.com was doing, no one was going to be jealous… She mechanically got into the car, wp4webnovel.com mind completely blank.
