Chapter 957 She Loses And Decides To Leave
Chapter 957 She loses and decides to leave
As if a basin of cold water poured down, Mavis was completely chilled.
Looking at everything in front of her, she suddenly felt very dazed.
This was the company and husband that she had always believed in.
It was all a lie.
She looked at the lamp on her head, and wanted to bump her head into it. It was all in pieces, so that she wouldn't be here now to endure the feeling of being distrusted by Anthony. But she can't be impulsive, she still had a child in her stomach.
Within minutes, Zack came in with investigative evidence.
Surveillance showed that Mavis was almost the last to get off work recently. As an assistant, she once took the information of the new project to Anthony's office alone.
In addition, she herself admitted that she had been to the coffee shop, so she met the representative of the competitor.
All kinds of evidence almost pointed to her.
Anthony read it silently, and put the document heavily on the table, with a blank expression on his face, suppressing his anger.
The atmosphere in the entire conference room made the rest of people dare not breathe.
Anthony slowed down for a while, and then said in a calm tone, "Mavis, since you're an old employee, I won't hold you accountable. You can go to HR to go through the resignation procedures." After speaking, Anthony got up and left.
Everyone in the conference room was silent for a while, and then they all left.
Mavis and Jaqueline were left in the conference room.
Jaqueline came over and looked down at her like a winner, with a slight smile on her face.
"Cry if you want. I won anyway."
Mavis sneered, "Yes, you won. I'm that clown after all."
"You are too weak. I have met many opponents, but I have never seen someone as stupid as you. You insist on fighting to the end with me, and don't turn back until you lose." Jaqueline was no longer gentle and kind. Her words were cold and stiff, as if she was a different person.
Mavis looked up at her, "You are not an ordinary person."
Jaqueline chuckled and nodded, "Yeah, I'm not an ordinary person, so you lose to me."
Mavis had nothing to say, turned around and left, not bothering to look at Jaqueline's victorious face.
Originally, she still wanted to fulfill the wish of Paloma, at least until the end of the one-year agreement.
But when things developed to this point, Mavis felt that the last point of staying in Callahan family was meaningless.
She used to have a job, but now her job was gone.
She decided to leave with her baby.
After she was back to Callahan Residence, Rebecca and Paloma still greeted her warmly.
Paloma keenly noticed the redness of Mavis' eyes, and hurriedly asked her, "Did something happen? Why are you back at this time?"
"I'm fine."
Mavis made a smile, and held Paloma's hand. "I'm not feeling well. I just want to come back and rest for a while. Grandma, don't worry. What shall we have for dinner?" Rebecca said, "Mavis, grandma knows that you are in a bad mood recently. In order to make you happy, grandma cooks for you. You know, grandma hasn't cooked for anyone for a long time." Mavis was slightly taken aback.
She wanted to say that there was no need for such trouble, but seeing the happy look of Paloma, she couldn't bear to spoil her interest.
"Thank you grandma. I can help."
Paloma smiled. "No, I used to do these tasks a lot before, and now I have Rebecca with me. Aren't you feeling unwell? Take a rest and I'll call you when the meal is ready."
Mavis was very moved, but she seemed to have nothing to repay Paloma except a "thank you".
Before she could reply, Rebecca pushed her upstairs and told her to go back to her room.
Mavis also wanted to be alone, but now that she was unemployed again, she needed to think about what to do next.
When she was abroad, Lyra once persuaded herself not to be so stubborn.
Only then did she realize that Anthony never loved her.
Let's say goodbye tonight.
However, Mavis didn't want to say goodbye to Paloma, and didn't want grandma to see her sadness. She wanted to leave quietly.
Just when Mavis was in a daze, the phone rang suddenly, and the caller ID was Anthony.
The phone connected.
He didn't speak all the time, so she thought he accidentally pressed the wrong button, and was about to hang up, when Anthony suddenly asked her, "Have you returned home?" Mavis hummed lightly.
"What are your plans after that?"
Mavis said frankly, "I have no plans."
"Does grandma ask you why you came back suddenly? What do you say?"
It turned out that he was waiting for it. Mavis couldn't help laughing at herself.
It was already like this, but she still thought Anthony would come to comfort her, saying that he actually believed in her, but it was just forced by the situation.
"I know what to say. I won't let grandma worry about us."
Hearing this, Anthony seemed relieved.
Immediately afterwards, Mavis asked, "Is there anything else? I'll hang up if there is nothing else."
Anthony hesitated a little. "This time, I'll give you the compensation that should be given to you. You..."
When the words came to his lips, he couldn't speak.
Mavis thought he was talking about divorce compensation.
Two people together was meant to be a mutual thing, but now it was time to separate, so why bothered.
She said bluntly, "I don't need any compensation from you. I just ask you not to appear in my life in the future."
After finishing speaking, she hung up the phone resolutely, threw herself on the bed, hugged the pillow and hid her face in silence.
On the other side, Anthony, who hung up the phone, was staring at the documents on the table in a daze.
He always felt that there was something weird about Mavis, but he couldn't tell.
When Zack entered the door, he saw Anthony take off his suit jacket irritably and scratch his hair.
He silently put down the coffee, was about to go out, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking, "Mr. Callahan, why don't you just tell Madam the truth?"
Anthony looked up and glanced at him.
"You think Mavis will trust me?"
She never believed it, especially about Jaqueline, and it was useless to explain it.
On the day of the conference room, Mavis questioned him directly in front of the whole group, and somehow mentioned Jaqueline. The preliminary investigation evidence of the spy had come out, and he had to give an explanation on the spot.
Feeling even more irritable, he rested his forehead with one hand, "Has the board calmed?"
"No one dares say anything anymore."
Anthony couldn't help but sneer.
He had already discovered that there was a spy in the company. In order not to startle the enmity, he had never made a statement before, and had been investigating secretly.
But he didn't know where the board of directors got the news. They started investigating without authorization, and pointed all the blame at Mavis. It was too late for him to stop it.
At the general meeting of shareholders, all the shareholders seemed to have heard some rumors, insisted on Mavis's responsibility, and demanded that Mavis be dealt with strictly. Anthony could only let Mavis resign on her own to temporarily avoid the limelight.
They had been together for almost a year, and even though they had been arguing all the time in the past half a year, he knew Mavis' nature that she can't do anything to betray the company. There wer twists and turns in this, and he had to continue to investigate clearly.
