Chapter 420
Three people were furious, their anger laser-focused on Remus.
Caught off guard by their booming voices, Remus flinched.
Just then, the police showed up.
Josefina filled them in on the situation and handed over the evidence.
Remus was hauled away, shouting, "I'll be back, you just wait!"
"Josefina, I'm from headquarters! You had no right to spy on me!"
Despite his protests, Remus was led out.
With him gone, the office felt like its old self again, warm and harmonious.
Ever since Remus showed up, Angel had been on the verge of losing her manager position.
It wasn't until Josefina came back that Angel could focus on her work and secure her role.
Josefina had always been there for her in times of need.
It's all about mutual support between people.
...
Remus was arrested for attempted murder and fabric destruction, piling up more charges against him.
An internal investigation by the headquarters also uncovered that he had been embezzling funds.
Remus never expected Josefina to have such influence, sparking an investigation that even took down his protectors.
He ended up behind bars.
"Why? Why did they fall from grace?" he muttered.
An officer, with a hint of smugness, replied, "Who cares if you're from headquarters? Miss Josefina is the darling of the Harrison family. You messed with the wrong person, and now you're getting what you deserve."
Remus was stunned and fainted.
...
Josefina's life was thriving.
On the flip side, Billy was a mess, making desperate phone calls.
"Mr. Zhang, it's Billy. Got any extra contracts for my factory?"
"Mr. Li, Billy here. Heard you're swamped. Need some manufacturing help?"
Call after call, Billy's throat went dry, and still, no one paid him any mind.
Slumping back in his chair, he sighed heavily.
Erica walked in and handed over her resignation letter.
"Mr. Antonio, I'm quitting."
Billy shot up, disbelief written all over his face. "You're leaving too?"
"Mr. Antonio, you've pissed off the wrong people. If I don't leave, should I stick around and go down with the ship?"
Outraged, Billy snapped back, "You swore we could take on Josefina's company, that Ruby would come out on top! Now you want to dump this mess on me? Who do you think you are!"
Erica fired back, "I was never part of your management. When I agreed to work with you, you and Ruby promised I could work on my terms. By handing in my resignation, I'm doing you a favor. If you don't care about your reputation, that's on you."
She turned and left without looking back.
Billy, seething, tore her resignation to shreds, throwing the pieces on the floor like a madman.
"Ungrateful, all of you!"
As he panted in frustration, his phone buzzed in his pocket. He wanted to smash it but reconsidered, thinking of its cost.
It was Lauren on the line. "Billy, get ready. We're going to a gala tonight. Maybe we can drum up some business. Josefina will be there too-I plan to humiliate her in front of everyone!"
Billy saw a glimmer of hope.
"Alright, I'm going to find Josefina. With all her resources, getting a couple could save my company!"
Billy got ready in record time; this was his last shot!
The family gathered at the gala entrance, determined to reclaim everything they had
lost.
