Chapter 5

As soon as he said this, everyone in the room started looking for Derek's watch.

While searching, he kept muttering:

"This was a birthday gift from Boss Amanda, worth over three million dollars. I really don't want to lose it!"

Although I didn't know what kind of trick he was playing, I just wanted to leave immediately.

But just as I reached the door, Derek stopped me.

"Jack, let me check your bag, otherwise you won't be able to clear your name either."

I knew very well whether I had stolen his watch or not.

"I'm tired, Mr. Derek can look for it himself."

Seeing that I insisted on leaving, Derek actually grabbed my bag directly.

In the struggle, the contents of my bag spilled all over the floor.

And among the scattered items, there was indeed a watch.

I looked at the watch in shock, then met Derek's challenging gaze.

"Why are you framing me?"

Turning around, I found that everyone behind me was looking at me with contempt.

Especially Amanda, who frowned, her eyes full of disgust for me.

I instinctively tried to explain to her:

"I didn't take this!"

But my explanation seemed so weak in the face of the glaring "evidence".

Then, Derek picked up the watch and started complaining pitifully:

"This watch means a lot to me, how could Jack steal it?"

"I originally thought Jack had reformed in prison, I didn't expect he would still resort to anything for money. I won't dare to work with you in the future..."

Derek's few words made everyone's faces turn ugly.

The business partner's boss was the first to break the deadlock, saying sternly:

"Boss Amanda, let's forget about this cooperation!"

With these words, he left the room angrily with his people.

I wanted to chase after them to explain, but I received a solid slap from Amanda.

Meeting my incredulous gaze, there was no regret in her eyes.

"I didn't expect you to be the kind of person who sees money and loses all reason!"

"I brought you out, not for you to steal things!"

Amanda's words completely convicted me.

Didn't she know what kind of person I was?

Had she also forgotten why I went to jail?

Looking at the anger in her eyes, I knew she wouldn't believe me.

I could only laugh bitterly and hand her my phone.

"Then call the police."

She looked down at the phone, then frowned at me, still not moving.

The long eye contact seemed to make me see clearly the woman in front of me.

After a while, Amanda snorted coldly, "Unreasonable!"

The woman turned around, helped Derek put on the watch, and softly coaxed him to leave.

In the room, only I was left, along with the mess on the floor.

I picked up my scattered belongings and headed to the airport without hesitation.

In the late-night waiting hall.

I was about to draft a resignation letter when I received Amanda's dismissal notice in advance.

Her words were filled with anger:

"Don't come to the company anymore, stay at home and reflect on yourself!"

Seeing her ridiculous request, I couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

Without thinking, I took a photo of the signed divorce agreement and sent it to her.

Along with the text:

"Amanda, I wish you and Derek a hundred years of happiness and grow old together!"

"But the premise is that you get a divorce certificate with me, otherwise I'll report you for bigamy."

After sending this message, Amanda started calling frantically like her life depended on it.
