Chapter 626: Chapter 328: Then Submit Your Resignation to Nolan (Two More Chapters)
After hearing Kay Forrest’s words, the old Forrest pondered for a long while before finally nodding his head.
"Alright, I understand. You’re right. I can’t keep indulging Evie any longer. As for her, I’ve already done my best."
Kay Forrest looked at his old man with a mischievous smile, knowing full well he wouldn’t ignore his grandson.
Without the old man’s support, let’s see how that Evie Larkin can still jump around.
Nolan Moore stayed in the office for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more something seemed off, so he finally called Jane Quinlan.
Jane Quinlan didn’t want to answer at first, always feeling that he was just looking for trouble with her again.
But after thinking about it, she hadn’t done anything wrong, so why not answer? Answer.
She casually picked up the phone: "Hello, Director Moore, what can I do for you?"
"You are no longer my assistant, I can’t order you around.
I just wanted to ask you something, did you see Evie at noon today?"
"Yes, I saw her. What’s up, do I need to report to Director Moore in advance if I’m meeting Miss Larkin?
I’ll pay attention to that next time. Please rest assured, Director Moore."
Nolan Moore wondered, why is she so irritated: "Did you eat gunpowder for lunch today?"
"I didn’t eat gunpowder, just suffered some grievances at Miss Larkin’s hands, that’s all."
Nolan Moore looked towards the door, really thinking the world of women was too chaotic.
He suddenly felt that his IQ couldn’t keep up with their battles.
Evie Larkin said Jane Quinlan splashed her, and Jane Quinlan said she was mistreated by Evie Larkin."
"I saw Evie return with juice on her clothes, did you splash it on her?"
"Yes."
Nolan Moore laughed, she was refreshingly candid: "How did things get so serious?"
"Not just serious, from now on, I’ll stay out of Evie Larkin’s way.
If we do cross paths, I won’t back down anymore."
"What happened?"
"She wanted to murder my child.
No matter how good my temper is, I won’t endure it anymore.
Nolan Moore, don’t meddle in my business, and don’t say I won’t listen to you.
Even if I used to listen to you, you can’t stop me now.
My man, my child, I’ll protect them myself."
Jane Quinlan hung up the phone directly, not wanting to hear that man who sides with Evie Larkin blathering.
She would do as she pleases, so there.
Nolan Moore had just put down his phone when the desk phone rang.
It was a call from the old Forrest: "Nolan, Evie is working in your office right now, isn’t she?
Ask her to come up here for a moment."
"Alright, old Forrest."
Nolan Moore hadn’t yet come to terms with what Evie trying to kill Jane Quinlan really meant.
Could it be that this matter has already reached the old Forrest?
He got up, walked to the door, and pulled it open: "Evie, the old Forrest wants you to come up."
Evie Larkin sighed: "I know, I’ll go up now."
She stood up and left. Nolan Moore originally wanted to ask what had happened.
But now it seems it’s not a good time.
After Evie Larkin went upstairs, she calmed her breath before knocking on the door and entering the old Forrest’s office.
"Old Forrest, you wanted to see me."
"Evie, come in and have a seat."
Evie Larkin smiled and sat down opposite his desk: "Old Forrest, you must have something on your mind calling me up at this time."
"There is a project abroad recently, and considering you’ve been an assistant in the company for so many years and have your own way of dealing with things, I plan to send you over to oversee the project."
Evie Larkin frowned and looked at the old Forrest, silent for a good while before speaking uncomfortably: "Old Forrest, are you trying to... get rid of me so I’m out of sight, out of mind?"
"Out of sight, out of mind is not quite it, but I can’t stand to watch you continue to make mistakes.
Evie, I know you’ve always felt that the Forrest Family owes you.
But I believe I’ve done my best for you over the years.
Even if your parents were still alive, they might not be able to provide you with such a privileged life."
Evie Larkin bit her lip: "I would rather not have this privileged life and want a family.
I’d rather be a beggar and stay by my parents’ side.
In this world, apart from my parents, who would sincerely care for me alone?
I know you’ve raised me and put in a lot of effort.
I also know you’ve been good to me, but it’s not like that anymore.
You don’t cherish me the way you used to."
The old Forrest said gravely: "You are no longer a child, and the care I have given you is no less than what I have given my own son.
If you could be obedient like a daughter, I would continue to be good to you.
But you...shouldn’t have harmed Jane Quinlan’s child in her womb."
"I didn’t do it. It must have been Kay who spoke ill of me to you.
Today at noon, when Jane Quinlan saw me, she said it was me who had Wendy bring her that kind of juice that could cause a miscarriage.
But I’m truly wronged.
That day, I did go out to eat with Wendy.
Wendy said that the food there was delicious and even praised the juice.
I just mentioned that the juice was available for takeout.
When we were leaving, she ordered a cup.
Wendy and Jane Quinlan don’t get along well; she wouldn’t possibly bring juice for Jane Quinlan.
What happened between them that day, resulting in the juice ending up with Jane Quinlan, I really have no idea.
Wendy has always been fond of Kay Forrest.
She’s approached me many times, saying that just like her, I wanted Kay but couldn’t get him, and she wanted to form an alliance with me against Jane Quinlan.
I know what Kay’s personality is like, so I’ve never agreed to her proposal.
Director Forrest, I am a child you raised yourself, don’t you know my character?
I might be slightly sullen, but I’m not wicked to that extent.
Would I not be aware that this is tantamount to murder?"
Evie Larkin began to cry as she spoke, "When I found out Jane Quinlan was pregnant, I was a bit upset.
But then I thought about how you’ve always been looking forward to having a grandchild.
Knowing how well Kay treats Jane Quinlan, you must be looking forward to this child’s arrival.
Although it was painful for me, I was also happy for you.
Apart from my unrequited love for Kay Forrest, am I not also a member of the Forrest family?"
Grayson Forrest sighed, "Evie, when Kay was about to return, I had said I wanted to transfer you away.
What did you say to me at that time? You said you didn’t want to leave.
Now, work is everything to you, and you’re not interested in anything else.
I’ve always trusted you, but you’ve truly disappointed me now.
You harbor great resentment in your heart, do you understand that?"
Evie Larkin bit her lip, "Am I not allowed to have resentments? Director Forrest, have I really done something wrong?
Do you know how painful it is to not get everything one wants?"
"I know, of course I do, everyone is the same.
You’re not the only one not getting what you want.
Why can others live openly and honestly, yet you must change your true nature to snatch away things not meant for you?
Do you think Jane Quinlan is so happy because everything has gone smoothly for her?
That girl has a good mindset.
I’ve looked into her background, she has a past too, but she handles it gracefully.
After breaking up, she didn’t entangle with her ex but lived her life openly and honestly.
People must first have a heart that forgives themselves to be worthy of happiness.
Do you think your current emotions are hurting others?
You’re mistaken, it’s yourself you’re hurting.
Give it some thought, by binding your heart like this, are you happy?"
"I was also unhappy before," Evie Larkin raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Director Forrest, I won’t go abroad. If you insist on me going, I choose to resign."
Grayson Forrest’s old face turned stern and grim, "Then submit your resignation to Nolan."
Evie Larkin was stunned for a moment, not expecting Kay to really let her resign, "So, Director Forrest, are you now standing on the same ground as Kay, wanting me to completely disappear from your sight, is that it?"
"Evie, in life and in conduct one cannot be too extreme. You’ve gone in the wrong direction, and if you continue like this, you will destroy yourself."
"Hasn’t my life been ruined from the start?
After everything I’ve been through, at least I thought Director Forrest, you would be on my side.
Maybe I don’t have parents and am not worthy of Kay.
But no woman could love him more than I do."
"Evie, child, you’ve become confused about what love is. In my eyes, you do not love Kay; what you love is your own obsession."
Evie Larkin closed her eyes and bit her lip, tears falling uncontrollably, "Could I not know my own heart?"
"If you truly loved Forrest, you would at least consider his feelings.
He is so looking forward to the child in Jane Quinlan’s womb; if you loved him, you would also love everything associated with him, instead of harboring murderous thoughts."
"I’ve said it’s not me; I didn’t do it."
"Do you dare to swear to heaven in front of me?
If you lie, then you will never see Forrest again for the rest of your life."
"I dare, it wasn’t me."
"Good, very good."
Grayson Forrest nodded, his gaze also carrying a hint of displeasure, picked up the intercom phone and dialed out, "Bring over Wendy, the assistant from Director Forrest’s office."
Evie Larkin frowned. Does Director Forrest not believe her and wants to confront her face to face?
