Chapter 593: Chapter 299: Not Bad, Learning to Get Closer to a Good Daughter-in-Law
Nolan Moore, who was in the office, heard the noise and opened the door to come out.
Seeing the three people outside full of aggressive energy, he scolded: "What are you doing in the office, making such a commotion?
Stephen Quentin stepped forward and said aggrievedly: "Director Moore, we are really wronged.
I have been working diligently in the company for so many years.
Yet, just because I gossiped about this woman in the restroom today, I got fired.
Everyone knows how much effort it takes to enter Skyward Group.
But my future has been destroyed by Jane Quinlan."
"Don’t say that I ruined your future.
When you were gladly gossiping, didn’t you ever think this day would come?
Today in the restroom, I gave you a chance; I asked you to present evidence of your nonsense.
If you had evidence to prove that I was indeed a mistress, then I would admit defeat, but can you?
When you insult others, do you ever think about their pain?
If I remain silent, does it mean I’m weak?
I have stepped back countless times, yet you keep pressing on.
It’s only your bad luck that you ended up like this today."
"Should one mistake really lead to dismissal?
Even if we were wrong, can’t we have another chance?"
Frances Lewis’s eyes were full of regret: "I still have car loans to pay, what am I supposed to do if the company fires me now?"
Nolan Moore frowned, "Enough, stop making a fuss.
Jane Quinlan is right, someone has to sacrifice in this situation.
You two just happened to be in the line of fire today, you can’t blame others.
If I were Director Forrest and Jane Quinlan, I too would choose this way to handle it."
"Director Moore, I know I was wrong, can you please plead on our behalf.
I promise I will never gossip again, I swear."
"To make an example, without a precedent, easily forgiving will make everyone in the company think making mistakes can be forgiven.
Who is Jane Quinlan? Isn’t she the girlfriend to whom Director Forrest proposed in front of the whole company?
When you treat her like this, gossiping behind her back, have you ever thought that you are actually criticizing Director Forrest?
It’s not wrong for Director Forrest to fire you.
My relationship with Director Forrest isn’t good, and if I intervene it might not be beneficial for me as well.
Since the company’s decision has come down, just fend for yourselves.
Find a new job before Director Forrest gets even more angry and coordinates with other big companies to blacklist you."
The words of Nolan Moore almost left Stephen Quentin and Frances Lewis in despair.
Unfortunately, there’s no medicine for regret in this world.
But why are they so unlucky?
Nolan Moore asked both of them to leave the office.
Jane Quinlan was about to leave too, but Nolan said: "Jane Quinlan, wait a moment."
She returned to his desk: "Director Moore, do you have any other instructions?"
"I just heard you mention Evie at the door.
What does this matter have to do with her?"
So he was concerned about Evie Larkin, no wonder he came out to intervene.
"Today, when Kay Forrest and I were dining at the restaurant, we ran into Miss Larkin.
During the meal, the two of us had a rather pleasant chat.
Later, after Kay and I finished our meal, we left.
Just now, Stephen told me that after I left, Miss Larkin cried bitterly for some reason.
She cried like that in front of so many people, and it was after Kay and I had left.
Everyone says it’s because I stole her boyfriend, that she was too distressed."
Jane Quinlan finished speaking, turned her head, and let out a cold chuckle: "All along, I thought at least Miss Larkin was a good person.
But today... heh, in this world apart from people who truly love me, there simply are no good people."
She finished speaking and shook her head: "Forget it, what’s the use of telling you this.
You are Miss Larkin’s best friend.
Anyway, I won’t talk about it anymore, Director Moore, just to let you know, I will be taking a leave from tomorrow.
Because the day after tomorrow, Kay Forrest will accompany me to visit my parents."
Nolan Moore’s expression remained unchanged: "Just go, I will talk to the assistant department for you."
"Thank you, Director Moore, then I will leave now."
Although she didn’t know why Nolan Moore was so agreeable lately, it didn’t matter anymore.
She decided not to think about these trivial issues anymore.
After she left, Nolan Moore slightly closed his eyes and sighed.
She said, today in the restaurant, Evie Larkin cried in front of everyone.
Well, he could easily check if that was true.
So, Jane Quinlan had no reason to lie.
Recently, he seemed to have discovered many different sides of Evie Larkin.
Could it be that all this time, Kay Forrest was right, and he was wrong?
He really couldn’t equate the present Evie Larkin with the well-behaved and sensible Evie Larkin of the past.
Maybe, as Kay Forrest said, people do change over time.
Evie Larkin, perhaps she has changed too.
After work, Jane Quinlan packed up everything.
From tomorrow, she would officially be liberated.
Next, she had many things she could really enjoy doing, truly enjoy.
Ever since she came to work at Skyward Group, she had never been happier than now.
After packing up, she patted her desk: "Old buddy, see you next year."
Indeed next year, because she wouldn’t return until after the New Year.
She entered Nolan Moore’s office: "Director Moore, I’m leaving."
"Goodbye, I wish you a Happy New Year in advance."
Jane Quinlan smiled: "Director Moore, same to you, Happy New Year."
After speaking, she left and went upstairs to find Kay Forrest.
Wendy saw her and snorted coldly but didn’t stop her.
She pushed the door and entered, Kay Forrest was on the phone, not long after, he hung up and said: "Okay, wait for me for fifteen minutes, I’ll be done soon."
"Don’t rush, take your time, don’t make mistakes."
Kay Forrest grinned slyly: "Who am I? I won’t make mistakes even with my eyes closed."
Jane Quinlan chuckled, really good at boasting.
Less than ten minutes later, he finished everything, threw down the documents, and stood up: "Okay, we can leave now."
Jane Quinlan reached out and grabbed his hand: "I don’t want to cook tonight, let’s go out to eat."
"Sure, it’s rare that we don’t work overtime today, whatever you want to eat, let’s go, candlelight dinner it is."
The two left the office together, Wendy stood up: "Director Forrest."
Kay Forrest looked at her, his expression very calm: "Okay, you can finish up and leave as well.
Starting tomorrow, you don’t have to come to work either, take a holiday."
Wendy glanced at Jane Quinlan and bit her lip.
Jane Quinlan glanced at Kay Forrest: "Wendy seems to have something she wants to say to you alone, maybe I should wait for you at the elevator."
Kay Forrest pulled her into his arms: "No need, whatever it is, just say it."
Wendy lowered her eyes: "It’s nothing, Director Forrest, Happy New Year."
"Hmm, Happy New Year."
Jane Quinlan waved at Wendy: "Wendy, Happy New Year, let’s go, bye."
Wendy clenched her teeth in anger, but didn’t make a sound.
As they walked away, Jane Quinlan asked: "Where are we going for the candlelight dinner?"
"Where do you want to go?"
"Actually, I do have a nice place in mind, come with me."
"Sure."
The voices of the two gradually faded, Wendy stamped her foot, feeling like her whole body was about to explode with anger.
This year she had no chance, next year.
Next year she would fight again, and she was determined to defeat Jane Quinlan.
After the candlelight dinner, Kay Forrest tormented the young lady thoroughly on the bed.
Recently he had been working overtime a lot, and that thing was sometimes skipped, sometimes hurriedly done.
It had been many days since he felt this satisfied.
The saying ’After eating and drinking, one thinks of mischief’ is truly accurate.
After their affair, the two cuddled until ten the next morning.
It had been a long time since either of them had slept in.
Kay Forrest, upon waking, mischievously kneaded her face: "Today, let’s indulge thoroughly, it’s the last day before the New Year we can do so recklessly."
Jane Quinlan rolled over and nestled in his arms: "That sounds nice, but this afternoon you have to accompany me out for a bit."
"Where to?"
"I’m going home tomorrow, before the New Year, I really should go see your father.
Last time I went to your place I didn’t prepare any gift, this time, I want to carefully prepare a gift for old man Forrest."
"My dad lacks nothing, you don’t need to do this."
Jane Quinlan shot him a look: "It doesn’t matter what old man Forrest lacks, what matters is my intention.
The recent turmoil in the company has been really noisy, I think old man Forrest must know about it.
The fact that he hasn’t spoken out only proves that he’s condoning us.
I’m really grateful to him, so I must make a good impression."
Looking at her sensible and well-behaved appearance, Kay Forrest kissed her forehead.
Not bad, she’s learning how to be a good daughter-in-law.
