Chapter 90
“Mom, don’t worry. What if I become a business prodigy in the future?” I didn’t know if I was comforting my mom or comforting myself.
Anyway, I made her laugh. She said, “No matter what you decide, your dad and I support you. We only have you as a child. As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters.”
After hearing these words, I thought to myself, “Was I crazy in my previous life? I had such wonderful parents and such privileged living conditions, but I insisted on clinging to Frederic. In the end, I ended up in such a situation.”
If it weren’t for my head temporarily unable to move significantly, I would definitely give my mom a big hug.
After my mom accompanied me for a while, she said she was going home to make fried chicken for me. I really wanted to eat it, so I quickly agreed. After she left, Greta, Cecelia, and Janessa rushed over.
Looking at me with bandages wrapped around my head, they felt sorry for me. “Syl, how are you? Does your head still hurt?”
“Who the hell hit you? I’m going to make him taste what it feels like to be hit too!”
“How long did it take for you to be discharged from the hospital?”
Listening to the chattering voices of Greta, Cecelia, and Janessa, I felt so happy in my heart. Despite being injured, having this group of people who love and care for me, I truly feel that life is beautiful.
“I’m fine. I just had a minor concussion. I am currently working at the Hudson Group. I went with Frederic to discuss relocation compensation with the residents near the Gemini Chemical Co.. It seems that the representative and Frederic couldn’t reach an agreement, and someone took it out on me.” I explained the situation.
Greta placed some nutritional supplements on the counter and then began to rant, “Damn it, Frederic is your nemesis, isn’t he? You used to love him so much, but he hurt you. Now you finally don’t put all your energy into him anymore and work at his company, but he took you to negotiate and got you a concussion. I think you should have divorced him earlier!”
Cecelia raised her hands in agreement with Greta. “Yes. I heard that if two people are not meant to be together, they become each other’s nemesis. The person who doesn’t dominate in this relationship will suffer more.”
“Frederic was indeed very domineering,” I exclaimed. Then I immediately asked Janessa, “Jan, how did you come here? Did you go to the Hudson Group?”
Janessa shook her head. “I didn’t go. I had my mom go
instead.”
After a moment of being stunned, I showed an admiring expression. I thought Janessa’s arrangement was very

clever!
Originally, they had planned for Janessa to create a scene at the Hudson Group. Janessa would have had the evidence I captured, accusing Leonel of infidelity, which would have had a very negative impact on the company. The Hudson Group would have taken the opportunity to dismiss Leonel, who was still on probation. In this way, Leonel would have been left with nothing.
But Janessa chose to let her parents go. This was actually better.
Janessa angrily said, “After my mom caused a scene at the company, Leonel shamelessly called me. He said a lot!”
“What did he say? How did you respond?” I asked curiously.
“He said he was sorry and hoped that I would forgive him. What a scumbag!” Janessa replied. “Then I told him that I loved him very much and was willing to forgive him. I had some personal savings that I could use to accompany him back to his hometown to pursue his career, but my parents threatened me with their lives to break up with him. I had no choice.”
As soon as Janessa finished speaking, Greta, Cecelia, and I all burst into laughter. Janessa is very clever.
In this way, Leonel didn’t even have a reason to bother Janessa. Moreover, his standards for finding a girlfriend in the future would be very high. It is certain that he would never find another woman who is both wealthy and loves him. He will always remember how good Janessa was to
him, but he didn’t cherish it and ended up losing everything.
Greta, Cecelia, and Janessa stayed with me for a long time before leaving. I was so bored, so I started playing a mobile game. However, as the later levels became too difficult, I gradually became impatient.
“Ah!” After failing twelve times, I raised my phone and
wanted to smash it.
