Ex-Husband’s Regret: Barren Mommy Has Quadruplets

Chapter 176 If You Can’t Bear to Leave Her, Then Go with Her 

Upon hearing Cindy’s words, Alta suddenly realized that there was some truth to what she said.

Edward also agreed, saying, “Yes. If Donovan provides cover, the five of you including me and Cindy, we can gather with the children. It would be so nice.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Otto and Nina next to them also expressed their approval of this idea.

The reunion idea greatly appealed to Alta. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

However, she still had concerns.

Donovan’s attitude was not very clear.

After all, he had never mentioned Otto and Nina’s existence in front of her.

She didn’t know what he was thinking.

After thinking for a while, she said, “Let’s bring it up when the opportunity is right.”

Edward and Cindy didn’t insist on pushing Alta further on this matter.

After chatting for a while, Alta went to work at Hill Group.

Shortly after she entered Research Lab 2, Lotus immediately approached her and whispered, “Gail is back!”

“Huh?”

Alta was a little surprised and asked, “Don’t she get injured?”

How did she come back so quickly?

According to Gail’s phony character, she would act pitifully. She won’t stay away for just two or three days.

“She did get injured. She still has a bandage on her forehead when she’s back.”

Lotus’s tone suddenly tinged with some disdain as she replied, “You haven’t seen how pitiful she looked. If you don’t know better, you would think she’s the one being falsely accused! Now she’s gone to the CEO’s office, probably seeking sympathy.”

After hearing this, Alta nodded and said, “It seems like she hasn’t changed.”

Her behavior was still the same.

Seeing Alta’s indifferent attitude, Lotus couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you going to take a look?”

Alta was taken aback and her face filled with confusion. She said, “Why should I go and see? I have no interest in watching someone put on a show. It’s nauseating!”

At this moment, Gail was indeed in the CEO’s office. Her eyes filled with tears as she pleaded, “Jason, can you please take down the video of the conflict between me and Alta? I know it’s my fault, and Rainy misunderstood Alta…

She acts impulsively as she is so worried about me at the time. In reality, she doesn’t mean it, and I don’t admit that Alta pushed me. So… can you please let it go for the sake of our acquaintance?”

Upon hearing these words, Jason remained completely unmoved, not even lifting his head.

Gail felt a bit embarrassed. She still mustered up the courage to say, “Having that video posted in the group is also not good for our reputation…”

Jason didn’t even bother to raise his head or show any reaction. He had been looking at documents all this time. Now, he finally made a move.

With a cold tone, he said, “If you’re going to talk about those things, then leave.”

Gail’s lips trembled and tears fell from her eyes. She called out in a pitiful voice, “Jason…”

The sound of her slight sobbing reached Jason’s ears. He felt extremely annoyed.

He looked up, seeing Gail crying with teary eyes and a bandage on her forehead, looking very pitiful

Jason frowned. His voice turned cold as he asked, “What? Do you think you’re the one being treated unfairly?”

Sensing the man’s displeasure, Gail’s pupils trembled. She immediately lowered her gaze.

She still felt somewhat wronged in her heart. Her voice trembled as she spoke on her behalf, “I… I have already received the punishment I deserved. Since Alta joined the company, I have been demoted and injured. But in reality, I haven’t done anything, yet my reputation within the company has become so poor. I have faced a lot of cold stares. I just don’t understand why things have turned out like this…

Jason casually threw the documents in his hand aside.

With a disdainful snort, he said emotionlessly, “If you don’t know, then let me tell you!”

“You are demoted because you are not capable enough to handle the position of director. And posting the video in the group is to give Alta some justice.”

“You feel wrong now, but Alta doesn’t feel wrong? At that time, she was publicly slandered by Rainy and criticized by everyone. Isn’t she feeling wrong?”

With one question after another, Gail was completely speechless.

After a while, she struggled to explain, “That’s not what I mean…”

“Then what do you mean?”

Jason retorted mercilessly, “Are you suggesting that since the video has been released, the matter should be considered settled and not pursued further?”

“By your logic, your reputation is a matter, and Alta’s reputation is not?”

The moment these words were spoken, the office fell into silence.

Gail couldn’t say a word and could only silently stand there. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at the man.

Jason didn’t want to waste any more words with her and coldly ordered, “Just leave if you have nothing else.”

Gail realized that saying anything else was useless. She could only turn around in heartbreak.

Just as she was about to open the door, the man behind her threw another remark at her. He said, “And also, Rainy doesn’t need to stay in the company anymore. The company doesn’t need employees who can’t distinguish right from wrong.”

Gail was shocked and turned around abruptly. She hastily interceded for Rainy, saying, “Jason, can you forget about this? Rainy is just confused for a moment.”

This assistant had followed her for so many years and was loyal.

It would be difficult to cultivate another one.

Jason furrowed his brow slightly. He was displeased with someone questioning and opposing his orders.

Looking at Gail, he coldly said, “If you can’t bear to leave her, then go with her.”

Knowing Jason’s temperament of doing what he said, Gail instantly took back her words. She left with a deeply saddened expression.

In the afternoon, news of Rainy being dismissed spread throughout the R&D department.

Alta naturally heard about it. She didn’t express any opinion and just pondered quietly.

Lotus said, “This matter is a direct order from the HR department, probably the CEO’s intention.”

As she spoke, there was a meaningful look in her eyes.

Alta didn’t say anything, but her earlier speculation grew up in her mind.

Was Rainy being dismissed… because of her?

Impossible, right?

Jason always handled business matters impartially. How could he fire an employee for her sake?

Alta told herself not to overthink and reminded Lotus, “Stop gossiping and focus on work. Do you want to strive for the position of director?”

“Yes!”

Lotus responded without hesitation.

Alta smiled and said, “Then work hard. I’ve reviewed your formula, and it’s almost there.”

Upon hearing this, Lotus’s spirit was lifted. She eagerly said to Alta, “Boss, if anything is lacking, please give me guidance!”

Alta chuckled at her exaggerated behavior. She said in a serious tone, “This is a technical task, and I won’t teach someone without benefits.”

“What do you like? Just say it, I’ll bribe you openly!”

Lotus spoke straightforwardly.

Alta pursed her lips and smiled. She replied, “I’ll have to think about that!”

They chatted and laughed. Their colleagues couldn’t help but chuckle when they heard it.

The ambience in Research Lab 2 was very harmonious. Even the people next door could feel it.

Gail happened to pass by the door and heard the laughter of Alta and Lotus. The anger in her heart was almost burning away her sanity.
