Chapter 415
In response to Shane’s question, Zane said, “Also, I don’t think there is anything wrong with what she said.”
When Shane heard that, he knew full well that he was in the wrong. Even if he tried to get Zane to stand up for him, Zane wouldn’t.
While holding Jenny’s hand, Shane said angrily, “Very well. Since you are all unreasonable, I don’t see a need to waste my time with you.”
In response, Zane sneered. “Well, it’s amazing that you crashed our lunch, tried to pick a fight with us, and now shift the blame to us.”
When Zane said that, he exuded a domineering demeanor. Shane felt intimidated but didn’t want to embarrass himself in front of Jenny. Shane said, “Mr. Huxham, I’m just trying to seek justice for my girlfriend.”
Shane thought that since he couldn’t criticize Zane’s girlfriend, it would be fine for him to criticize Zane’s employee, whom he considered unimportant.
In response, Zane said nonchalantly, “Sasha has explained what she needed to. She has never done what you accused her of, and you were the ones who wrongly accused her.” Shane said, “But I trust my girlfriend wouldn’t lie.”
“Your trust does not represent the truth. Are you going to ignore the evidence presented to you and simply believe in what she says?” Zane asked plainly.
Shane answered determinedly, “Yes. Since you’re trying to cover for your employee, I guess I can’t say much. Let’s go, Jenny.”
And so, Shane left with Jenny. But as Jenny left, she made it seem like she was bullied, crying as she followed Shane out. After they left, Sasha felt relieved.
Sasha leaned back in her seat and said, “I hope they hate me after what happened today. It would be great if they stopped coming to me.”
“You should be careful. Shane’s feelings for Jenny aren’t that deep yet,” said Zane, reminding Sasha.
Zane continued, “That is why Jenny
will always tell Shane about you, gossiping and accusing you of harming her. That way, Shane would think that you’re a bad person and that she’s a good person, having more pity for her in the process. Likewise, he would hate yo
more
and more.”
Sasha dragged her hands over her face and asked, “When will she stop?”
After analyzing the situation, Zane said, “She may never stop. If there is a conflict between them, she will use ake
you as an excuse. That way, they
can reconcile quickly without
affecting their relationship. It’s only
beneficial for them.”
By this point, Sasha had given up. She said, “Whatever they say, as long as they don’t say weird things in front of me, I don’t care.”
Zane shot Sasha a meaningful look and said, “They will definitely come to you frequently after this.”
When Sasha imagined what might happen, she felt her heart sink with dread. Sasha asked, “Mr. Huxham, can I stay in the office 24 hours a day?”
Sasha figured if she never left the office, Shane would never be able to disturb her!
“No way. Our company does not allow excessive overtime work,” Zane said. With a sullen face, Sasha said, “Fine.”
Then, I asked, “Logically, Shane’s family is pretty well-off. He should be capable of resolving the problem between him and his girlfriend, right? He doesn’t need to disturb Sasha every day.”
Sasha became hopeful after hearing that.
In response to my question, Zane said gently, “Think about it. Who are the people in their social circle?”
