“In fact, people like you are the ones who should be hated and pitied the most. You brought trouble to both yourself and others, thinking you were smart. However, you ended up being the fool.”
Everything she said caused Yvonne to stand rooted to the spot in shock.
She realized that things were exactly how Celine made them out to be. She was the fool here.
Not only had she not gained any benefits, but Jasper, the one she wanted to seek revenge on, had lost nothing. On the other hand, she had lost everything.
She also dragged Celine down with her in the process.
“Miss Maynard, I…”
Tears filled Yvonne’s eyes as she tried to plead for mercy. However, she was too ashamed to actually say anything when she opened her mouth.
“Seeing how you still have some shame, I’ll give you some leeway.”
Celine’s words caused hope to once again flare within Yvonne. She gazed hopefully at Celine.
However, what Celine said after that pushed her right back into an abyss of despair.
“You can hand in your resignation. This way, you’ll still be able to find employment in other investment companies. If Colossal Investments were to fire you, it’ll leave a permanent stain on your record and no other investment companies will think of hiring you.”
Celine turned and walked off after saying that, leaving Yvonne to stand rooted to the spot in shock before she finally burst into tears.
Once she was done dealing with Yvonne, Celine gave William a call.
William did not seem surprised to receive a call from her. He seemed to be in a good mood.
“Miss Maynard, you don’t seem to be in a good mood,” William said leisurely as he leaned against his office chair in the brightly lit office.
Celine had a stiff expression on her face as she said, “Isn’t this what you wanted?”
William laughed and said, “Please don’t say that. You’re an amazing partner, and I hope only the very best for you. I said the same thing to the investigative team when they were in my office earlier.”
“How quick,” Celine scoffed and said, “William, you must know that the investigative team will never find anything wrong with me. Do you really think such tricks will work on me?”
William shrugged and said, “I don’t know if it’ll work or not. I only know that the minute your record shows that you’ve had investigations done on you, you’ll never be able to get the chair that my butt is resting on right now.”
Sighing, Celine said, “Jasper’s case to list Sena publicly has nothing to do with our feud. I hope you’ll think about this carefully.”
William laughed and said, “Miss Maynard, how did you get to where you are now if you’re this naive? Just like how you screwed up my case, I’ll ensure you never get to complete any business deals without causing a whole lot of trouble. Got it?
“Your suffering is my source of happiness,” William said before he hung up.
Celine had a stiff expression on her face as she listened to the dial tone. Honestly, she was not surprised at the outcome.
Sighing, Celine muttered to herself, “You forced me to do this.”
