Chapter 21

As expected, Jonathan agreed with Alicia.

He looked at her calmly and said, “It’s just a matter of some additional costs.

You don’t need to get my approval.

Go ahead and make the decisions.” Alicia broke out into a wide smile.

“You’re the best, Jonathan.

I knew you’d agree with me.

Before I came here, those secretaries were saying that you’d never waste your time on pointless things…” I couldn’t help but laugh again.

She truly was impressive.

She was able to convey several messages in only a few sentences.

Firstly, she was highly capable and could handle a project on her own from start to finish.

Secondly, she was kind-hearted and wasn’t willing to make life difficult for those living in that township.

Thirdly, Jonathan’s secretaries were all cold-blooded compared to her, and they even presumed things about him.

Not only was she impatient to show herself off, but she also subtly stepped on others while doing so.

I also finally understood why my 25-year-old self had been so devastated in this marriage.

I had never wanted to compete with anyone over love.

Relationships should never be a battlefield, and I had no interest in men whom I had to wrestle for.

If Jonathan’s heart had ever strayed, I would have just left him.

Why had I been pushed to the point of ending my own life?

“Have you heard about Mr.Ford?”

“Are you referring to Ms.Zimmer joining the company or what happened between Ms.Zimmer and Mr.Ford’s wife?” “Both are huge news!” “Is there going to be a new Mrs.Ford?

I heard that when Ms.Zimmer and Mrs.Ford fell into the pool at the same time the other day, Mr.Ford actually went to save Ms.Zimmer first!” “I heard that, too!

Poor Mrs.Ford!

She managed to marry into a wealthy family despite her poor background, yet here she is, being dealt a figurative slap across the face right in public!” “Well, she brought it on herself.

She and Mr.Ford were such a sweet couple when they first got married, but she just had to act out.
