Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right -
Chapter 390
Lindsey returned to her office to gather her belongings, a fleeting sense of accomplishment mingling with a daunting feeling that her actions today might fade into obscurity.
The task of confronting Vitality Entertainment’s senior executives seemed insurmountable.
Yet, compromise was not in her nature.
Despite her perceived insignificance, she was determined to chip away at the colossal iceberg before her.
After a concise handover with the HR department, Lindsey clasped a box containing her personal items and strolled toward the exit, aware of the company’s collective gaze following her progress through the lobby.
“Lindsey.
” Jayleen emerged in the hall, closing the distance between them swiftly, halting Lindsey in her tracks.
Lindsey pivoted to replace Jayleen still adorned in her signature elegance-a sleek black silk wrap dress-exuding unwavering confidence with a professional poise untouched by the current circumstances.
Crossing her arms, Jayleen cast a smile that only Lindsey could discern as a smug sneer.
In a hushed tone, audible only to them, she murmured, “Lindsey, do you truly believe that your resignation and a few Twitter posts can taint my reputation? You’re too naive.
This trending topic will fade soon, and within days, today’s events will be forgotten.
You’ve altered nothing, only sacrificed your job in vain.
Why did you have to take that step?”
Without a trace of anger, Lindsey responded, her lips Lightly curving, “Those who sow the seeds of wrongdoing will inevitably harvest their own downfall.
How long do you reckon your pride will shield you?
Let’s wait and see.

“Don’t be obstinate.
Despite your apparent victory, the reality is you’ve lost to me.
You’re nothing but a perpetual loser, destined to never surpass me.
” Jayleen raised her chin with pride, her shrewd eyes narrowing.
Disregarding any further conversation, Lindsey sneered and turned sharply, departing without another word.
However, her purposeful stride came to an abrupt halt as Emilio strode through the company’s entrance.
He was clad in a finely tailored suit, a black coat dr@ped over his shoulders, his expression grim, striding with sharp, brisk steps.
“Mr.
Howard, you are back.
” Spotting Emilio, Jayleen swiftly altered her demeanor, transforming into a fawning smile and moving to greet him.
Unperturbed by Jayleen’s efforts, Emi
lio stood before Lindsey, his cold gaze fixating on the box in her hands.
“Lindsey, you’re not the one who should be leaving.
”
In a sudden gesture, Emilio extended his hand, pointing directly at Jayleen beside them.
“Jayleen Archer should be the one leaving!”
Jayleen’s smile froze on her face, her composure faltering.
Surprised, Lindsey raised her gaze to meet Emilio’s inquisitive stare.
“Mr.
Howard, what do you mean?” Jayleen asked incredulously.
Only then did Emilio cast her a frigid glance.
“Although I wasn’t present in the company, I’m well aware of your bet with Lindsey.
Since you lost, you should have resigned! Moreover, the investigation revealed not only your manipulation of the voting during the audition, disrupting fairness, but also your collusion with the company’s vice general manager, Josh Harvey.
He misused his authority to elevate you to the director’s position, while you facilitated his acceptance of bribes for personal gain.
Is this true?”
All eyes within the company were fixated on Emilio’s words.
Employees exchanged doubtful whispers, directing their gaze toward Jayleen.
“I can’t believe she had an affair with Josh Harvey!”
“So, that’s how she climbed the ladder so swiftly-through such means!”
“Wearing black silk stockings every day just to entice men.
What a disgrace!”
