âThe impact of Toriâs case is extremely negative, so your company has decided not to hire her anymore. Of course, I believe that she will be the most suitable successor for this position in the future.â âNo, no. Sera, youâre still so young. You can definitely continue to succeed.â
At first, Tori had only been suspended from work without pay, but as the situation escalated, things deteriorated to a point where she was facing severe criticism from netizens, and there would be no company that would dare to hire her in the future. Even if she had a high level of expertise and a good image, these things meant nothing once her reputation was ruined.
Meanwhile, Ivanka headed to visit Katrina in prison, securing ten minutes with her through. her connections. In just a few days, Katrina had completely lost her previous shine. She sat behind a table in the visiting area and pleaded, âSave me, Ivanka, please save me. I donât want to spend another second here.â
Ivanka willed her tears back as she looked at her sister, and yet she was at a complete loss. She had already pulled all her strings, but none worked, leaving Katrina fated to life in prison.
âKatrina, itâs all my fault. I shouldnât have given you that idea. I was the one who harmed you, Katrina, Iâm sorry.â As she looked at Katrinaâs eyes of despair, Ivanka felt as if a knife was digging into her heart, causing her to ache with guilt and helplessness.
After hearing that, Katrina sent her a vicious glare that was filled with hatred. âIvanka, did you do this on purpose? Since we were kids, youâve always thought that I stole the love that belonged to you away and blamed Dad and Mom for loving me instead of you. Thatâs why you did this to me, right?â
Falling into the depths of despair bred resentment in Katrina, and she even harbored a grudge toward her own sister. Ivanka looked at her in shock, and her heart was torn further apart when she saw that Katrina blamed her for this incident. Why would she harm her own sister? She was truly only doing it for her good. âKatrina, I really didnât mean it that way.â
âYou did, you definitely did. You married into a good family, had three children, and youâre rich, while I have nothing. And now, Iâm forced into prison because of you. I hate you!â Katrina had always been a narrow-minded person, and now she used this piece of vengefulness she held and turned it into a sharp dagger, driving it deep into Ivankaâs heart.
Ivanka was hurt by her words, but she couldnât voice her sorrow. Instead, she only looked at Katrina with eyes filled with helplessness and distress. âI really didnât want to harm you, Katrina. Please believe me.â
âGo away, I donât want any of you to come and see me. Just treat me like Iâm dead. Iâll hate you for the rest of my life!â Katrina had already become twisted beyond return, and she was even close to losing her mind.
âKatrina⦠Although Ivanka was a strong woman, her heart had been torn apart with worry for her sister, and yet what she received was Katrinaâs resentment.
Out of everyone involved in this matter, none of them were able to free themselves, and they all faced the consequences they deserved. Ivanka, Katrina, and Tori all paid the price they owed for each of their parts in this situation.
On the other hand, a private plane took off from Dansbury toward the Arctic. A tall and slender figure was seated on a black leather couch within the spacious cabin with a pile of documents next to him that awaited hist attention.
When he picked up one of the papers and took a look at it, his sharp brows furrowed. It was an official document prepared by one of his rivals to prevent his companyâs development. The sudden appearance of this document in the midst of his project rendered all of his companyâs previous efforts to waste.
Ethanâs eyes fluttered shut as he rubbed his forehead. Then, he tossed the document onto the table and gazed at the clouds floating past his window, falling deep into thought.
At the same time, in a private workshop located in the Arctic, a man with blond hair and eyes that were the color of the ocean sat on a couch as he asked one of his subordinates, âWill Ethan be coming?â
âHeâs on the way.â
âVery well. You must put an end to his companyâs project. All of the oil reserves will belong to my company!â âDo you have any good plans, boss?â âHaha!â At his question, a flash of murderous intent gleamed in the manâs eyes.
