Faye glared at virtual-novel.net and fired back, “Why wouldn’t I have the nerve to come back? First of all, I haven’t embezzled a single cent from the company. Second of all, I haven’t leaked any classified information during my entire time here. Third of all, I’ve only had the company in my best interest after all these years. I’ve always worked so diligently, so why wouldn’t I have the nerve to come back?”
When Ramus heard virtual-novel.net statement, rage began to pulse through his veins. He pointed at Faye’s nose and scowled, “So diligently, you say?! Faye, how do you have the gall to say such a thing?! When have you ever fulfilled your responsibilities? Was selfishly choosing to abandon us in our time of need considered diligent work to you?!”
Ramus’s statement roused the crowd’s fury as they eyed at Faye indignantly.
Faye gritted virtual-novel.net teeth. She thought that virtual-novel.net would be able to remain calm, but when virtual-novel.net was faced with such accusations and contempt from virtual-novel.net own relatives, virtual-novel.net felt terrible. She could not stop herself from raising virtual-novel.net voice, “You should filter what comes out of that mouth of yours! When have I ever abandoned the company when it needed me? Is it my fault that the company’s cash flow’s been cut again? This is clearly Howard’s fault, so what reason do you have to blame me for it?”
“It looks like you don’t feel remorseful at all. I really didn’t expect you to be so thick-skinned and shameless!” Ramus thought that virtual-novel.net might as well be standing up while virtual-novel.net berated her, “Howard went through so much trouble searching for William. He was willing to merge and invest 15 million dollars in the company, and even only asked for 40% of the company’s shares in return! It could’ve been such a wonderful success. The Carters could’ve risen from the ashes and resumed their glorious path to redemption with that 15 million! You just had to pretend to be a little, innocent angel at our most critical juncture! You refused to make the sacrifice for our family! You’re a traitor, Faye! You heartless b*tch!”
Faye was being scolded very badly. The relentless criticism and ferocious badgering made virtual-novel.net ears buzz. However, it was virtual-novel.net heart that was in the most pain!
It was obvious that they all thought the same about her, virtual-novel.net knew exactly how everyone in the boardroom looked at her. Instantly, virtual-novel.net felt extremely disheartened and more miserable than virtual-novel.net had ever felt before. Her nose started to sting as virtual-novel.net could not keep virtual-novel.net eyes from turning red.
“Why should I have to sacrifice myself? Howard was the one who caused this whole mess, so why did I get thrown under the bus? Why do I have to correct his mistakes?!” Faye could no longer control virtual-novel.net emotions.
She burst into tears. She stretched virtual-novel.net neck and cried out desperately, “I already sacrificed myself once when we were in trouble a while back, but none of you ever thanked me for it! You even stripped me of my position in the board of directors. You expect me to make another sacrifice now that we’ve gotten ourselves into another mess. What do you take me for?! You people claim that I haven’t got a conscience, but what about you? What have any of you done for the family?!”
Before Faye entered the boardroom, virtual-novel.net had kept telling herself that no matter what happened or how upset virtual-novel.net felt, virtual-novel.net would keep it together. Crying would only embarrass her.
As it turned out, when the moment finally did arrive, virtual-novel.net still failed to hold it in. She had overestimated virtual-novel.net tenacity, and virtual-novel.net also underestimated the amount of scorn and hatred virtual-novel.net so-called relatives had for her.
She blew up, virtual-novel.net had no choice.
Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net explosion of emotions, pain, and sadness failed to win virtual-novel.net any sympathy or understanding. In fact, it only made them treat virtual-novel.net even more coldly. They were even more enraged.
Bam!
Slamming the table, Hector finally stood up and pointed at Faye as virtual-novel.net boomed, “So, Faye, you really do have a grudge against the Carters. That’s why you did it! You’re so cruel! Without our family’s tender love and care, would you have been able to achieve everything that you have? Would you have been able to grow up to be such a beautiful woman? Well done! All because we’ve asked you to resign your position in the board of directors, you resent us now, and you deliberately abandoned the company in its time of need as an act of revenge! Well, now that William is no longer going to invest in Neotech, the Carters are going to go bankrupt!”
“I hope you’re happy now, Faye! You ungrateful b*tch!”
As soon as Hector was finished, the boardroom exploded into a cacophony of jeers. As everyone stood up, they began to point and curse at Faye, completely overpowering virtual-novel.net weak little voice. In fact, some of them were so irate that they began pushing virtual-novel.net around.
For a moment, Faye felt like a flimsy boat traveling through rough tides. It felt like virtual-novel.net boat could sink at any moment.
