Summer wiped away a tear from the corner of snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com for nearly half the day, yet snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com breath when snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com had confessed, snazzynovel.com felt a weight lift off of snazzynovel.com shoulders. It no longer mattered anyway.
Suddenly, Summer wrapped snazzynovel.com arms around snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com had witnessed Jackson kissing Lynn with snazzynovel.com own eyes. How could snazzynovel.com wash that away?
Summer and Atticus finally left at 12AM. Summer’s decision — even though Tiffany had made herself very clear, snazzynovel.com would like to give Tiffany some time to calm down and carefully reconsider.
By the end of the holidays, Tiffany handed in snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com had in the office, Aye, because snazzynovel.com didn’t want to explain herself all over again. She went to the financial department straightaway and collected snazzynovel.com salary.
When snazzynovel.com noticed that snazzynovel.com lateness and days off were not on record for a pay cut, the weak spots in snazzynovel.com heart took a hit. Jackson would always threaten to cut snazzynovel.com pay, but snazzynovel.com never really acted on it. This time, snazzynovel.com really didn’t need snazzynovel.com to give snazzynovel.com special treatment. She took out the portion of snazzynovel.com pay that should be cut and left it. Then, snazzynovel.com turned on snazzynovel.com heel and left. From this day onwards, they would go their separate ways.
After receiving news from finance about Tiffany’s resignation and snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com one last time and left nothing behind.
Tiffany did not hail a cab to go home after leaving the company. Instead, snazzynovel.com walked aimlessly along the straight road. She knew that snazzynovel.com needed a stable job right now, but snazzynovel.com really wasn’t in the mood for an interview.
Suddenly, a black Bentley stopped on snazzynovel.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, snazzynovel.com would have refused without hesitation, but now, the man who would restrict snazzynovel.com was gone. No matter who snazzynovel.com was with or what snazzynovel.com was doing, no one was going to be jealous… She mechanically got into the car, snazzynovel.com mind completely blank.
