Chapter 3

Meghan glanced at the empty room and sighed meaningfully. “I just think that people can’t be trapped in the past and should move on.”

Arman hesitated to speak and finally nodded. “Yes, we should create something new instead of always remembering the old.”

Sean agreed, “It's been a long time since the three of us have traveled together. The day after tomorrow I'm leaving to record a variety show. Meghan, can you come with me too? Shirley is here too, I think there's a misunderstanding between you two, it's better to resolve it as soon as possible.”

Hearing that, Meghan frowned.

She did not even know what show Sean was going to record. If it were not for what happened that day, Sean probably would not have mentioned the variety show to her.

Seeing that Meghan did not say anything, Arman and Sean thought she agreed and smiled at each other.

“Oh, by the way, Meghan, why did not you go to work today?” Arman frowned, somewhat confused.

In his impression, Meghan is a real workaholic who puts her career first. That day was a working day, so why would she stay at home?

Hearing Arman’s question, Sean could not help but look at Meghan in surprise.

Meghan just said calmly, “I'm not feeling well. I won’t go today.”

Hearing that, a trace of concern welled up in Sean's eyes. Just as he was about to speak, Arman's mobile phone suddenly rang.

Shirley's sweet voice mixed with the sound of electricity came, with a bit of helplessness. “Arman, I have a stomachache. Can you come and accompany me?”

Arman suddenly became nervous. “What's wrong? Did you catch a cold or eat something bad? Wait, I'll be there soon.”

After hanging up the phone, Arman grabbed his coat and went out, followed closely by Sean.

Meghan was the only one left in the villa.

She was left alone by Arman and Sean again, but she was not upset at all, as she had long been used to it.

After throwing away the last bag of garbage, Meghan drove to the company.

Seeing Meghan, Raphael Franco, the General Assistant who was originally working in her office, immediately stood up in fear.

All work handovers were completed over the phone. Meghan had not shown up since the day before yesterday. 

Meghan, who never disturbed employees' rest in the middle of the night, called him all night for the first time to arrange follow-up work.

Raphael felt a little unsure, as if something big had happened, but he did not dare to ask.

As if seeing through what Raphael was thinking, Meghan spoke calmly, “I'm going back to San Francisco to get married.

“I'm too lazy to move the Rollins Group's headquarters in Las Vegas to San Francisco, so I'll leave it to you from now on.”

Raphael was surprised, agreed and then asked tentatively, “Do Mr. Mccarthy and Mr. Haynes know about that? If they ask, I...."

Meghan was silent for a while.

“I don’t know for now. When I leave, tell them the truth. Before I leave, remember to keep it a secret for me. Just say that I'm not feeling well and that you can handle the work for the time being.”

Raphael was stunned for a moment, then smiled after coming back to his senses. “I understand, Ms. Rollins.”

After a slight pause, he sighed with regret as he stated, “Mr. Haynes and Mr. Mccarthy are both outstanding people. They treat you so well and think of you in everything. I originally thought that you would choose to marry one of them and stay in Las Vegas in the future.”

Meghan curled the corners of her lips and said, “There's nothing to regret. If it's not suitable, it's better to see it clearly as soon as possible.”

After instructing Raphael on some more things, Meghan packed up her personal belongings in the office and prepared to leave.

The silence on the floor was suddenly broken by a burst of noise.

The clacking sound of high heels and quarreling voices could be heard.

“Ms. David, you can’t go up. Ms. Rollins has ordered that no one should disturb us in the morning!”

Shirley pushed the secretary away, turned around and glared at her fiercely. “Get lost! I have to see Meghan today!”

As soon as she turned her head, Shirley met Meghan's calm gaze.

In the narrow and dim corridor, their eyes met and the ferocity on Shirley's face froze instantly, replaced by an expression that looked as if he was about to cry.

Chapter 4

“Meghan, I, I just feel a little aggrieved. Did I do anything wrong? How could you fire me without saying a word?”

Looking at Shirley's pitiful appearance, Meghan just felt disgusted.

“Do I need to explain to anyone the reasons for promoting or firing someone?”

When Shirley heard that, her eyes instantly turned red.

“Meghan, do you have some misunderstanding about me? Is it because of Arman and Sean? Are you angry that I stole their love?”

As she spoke, she took off her necklace and bracelets all at once, held them timidly and handed them to Meghan.

“I'm sorry, Meghan, these were given to me by Arman. I'm giving them back to you. Please don’t be angry, okay? Oh and...."

She took out a crystal trophy from her bag and knelt down in front of Meghan.

“That is Sean's Best Actor Trophy. I heard that he originally promised to give it to you. I'm going to give it back to you! Meghan, please, don’t make things difficult for me."

Shirley cried bitterly and her tearful accusations attracted the employees to look over.

Meghan was too lazy to talk nonsense with her and was about to walk around her and leave, but unexpectedly, Shirley suddenly pulled Meghan's trouser leg and the next moment, all the jewelry and trophies in her hands fell to the ground.

Bracelets and crystal trophies shattered.

Shirley fell weakly on the broken pieces, the shards of glass cut her delicate skin, bleeding profusely.

“Ah! Meghan, why are you taking revenge on me again? I have already given in to you, why are you still not willing to let me go?”

At the same time, the elevator door opened, Shirley's harsh accusation echoed, Arman and Sean walked out and happened to see all that.

“Shirley, are you okay?”

The two men's pupils suddenly shrank and they hurried forward, one on the left and one on the right, to help Shirley up.

Looking at the shocking injuries on her body, Arman and Sean felt extremely distressed.

Sean quickly took out his cell phone and dialed 911.

Arman stared at the mess on the ground with a gloomy expression, then raised his eyes coldly and looked at Meghan.

“Meghan, my patience with you is limited. When I saw the email you sent to Shirley in her mailbox this morning, I felt that you were targeting her. Now I see that it is true.”

“Can’t you tolerate her? Why did not I know you were so petty!” he scolded.

Hearing that, Meghan widened her eyes in disbelief.

Against her? Petty?

Why did not he, Arman, go and see what kind of state Blueming Entertainment, which she had handed over to Shirley, had become after being ruined by her?

“I have always handled official business impartially and have never been influenced by personal feelings. It is Shirley who is not capable enough. I cannot let her ruin my assets for fun!”

Meghan's tone was cold. “I did not hold Shirley responsible. I just removed her from her position. I have done my best.”

Sean hung up the phone and suddenly raised the volume as he yelled, “Then why did you deliberately damage the things we gave to Shirley? And you said you were not jealous.”

He pointed to the bloody debris on the ground.

“I want you to pay for the bracelet and the trophy and apologize to Shirley!”

Meghan was so angry that she almost laughed.

She pointed at the surveillance camera above her head and sneered, “Mr. Haynes, do you want to check the surveillance video before you speak? I didn't even touch your precious Shirley. 

“She dropped the things herself and she was hurt on purpose. The surveillance video recorded it clearly!”

Sean suddenly grabbed Meghan's neck and threatened. “Do you think I'm stupid? Meghan, that is your Rollins Group. If you really want to frame Shirley, it's not difficult to cover up the surveillance. You are really a vicious person!”

His grip kept tightening, Meghan's face turned red and she struggled desperately. She was about to faint, so Sean shook his hand fiercely and threw Meghan into the pile of debris like garbage.

Meghan screamed in pain.

The employees wanted to help her, but were all stopped by Sean's bodyguards.

“I want you to suffer the same pain and injury that Shirley has experienced and I want you to pay it back a hundredfold!”

The ambulance arrived, Sean picked up Shirley and carried her horizontally and hurried downstairs with Arman.

The two of them never looked at Meghan again.

Meghan was lying in the debris, feeling excruciating pain every time she moved.

Raphael carefully helped her up and asked, “Ms. Rollins, shall I take you to the hospital?”

Meghan glanced at the cut on Raphael's palm.

“No, you go and deal with it, I'll go back first.”

Under the distressed gazes of the employees, Meghan gritted her teeth and left, returning to the villa in embarrassment.

Just as she had treated her wound, Arman and Sean came back.

Seeing the bandages wrapped around Meghan's arms, Arman pursed his lips and was about to speak when Meghan's mobile phone suddenly rang.

It was Meghan’s mother calling.

“Hey, Mom."

When she heard her mother's voice on the other end of the phone, a feeling of grievance suddenly surged into her heart and Meghan choked up.

Meghan’s mother immediately noticed something was wrong and quickly asked Meghan what had happened.

After adjusting her mood, Meghan calmly changed the subject to avoid her mother's questioning.

“I'm fine, Mom. I'm on a flight tomorrow afternoon, just ask my fiancé to pick me up at the airport. I need to discuss the details of the wedding with him.”

Hearing that, Arman and Sean looked at each other and frowned at the same time.

“Wedding? What wedding?”
