âIâll resign.â
âResign?â Damien chuckled lightly. His arms were folded across his chest, and his dark eyes were coldly fixed on her. âYouâre being overly optimistic.â
âIf you donât attend the wedding, your report will be nothing more than fabricated news. If you donât write anything, it indicates a lack of commitment to the company. Iâll dismiss you for your lack of professional ethics and simultaneously publish your unethical conduct in SumTimes. Consequently, you may have to bid farewell to a career in journalism.â
Gwennâs face instantly drained of color. âYouâre deliberately making things difficult for me!â Her hands balled into tight fists, and she glared at Damien furiously. âThe Quinnell family said Iâm not welcome.
How can I possibly attend the wedding, let alone write a report?!â
âItâs quite simple.â Damien shrugged. âApologize.â
âApologize to Mrs. Quinnell, the Quinnell family, and Cherise, and admit your mistakes. If your apology is sincere, the Quinnell family will forgive you for their in-lawâs sake.â
Gwennâs hands clenched into tight fists at her sides. She looked up, her eyes seething with hatred.
âDamien, youâre crossing the line!â
She had been a journalist for a considerable time. She had long developed a deep affection and passion for this profession. She couldnât continue working in this field if dismissed for lack of professional ethics!
News in the media industry always spread much faster than in other sectors. Moreover, SumTimes held significant influence in the media world. If she was dismissed today, no publishing company would hire her tomorrow!
âAm I crossing the line?â Damien sneered. His icy gaze was fixed on Gwenn. âDidnât you do the same when you baselessly exposed my wifeâs affairs previously?â
âYou were well aware of how her hand was injured, and you knew she wouldnât admit the real cause of her injury, so you forced her to admit she was an unethical doctor. Wasnât this part of your manipulative schemes?â
âWhatâs the matter?â The manâs voice suddenly turned icy. âDo you think Iâm crossing the line by treating you the same way you treated my wife? Wasnât what you did out of line?â
Gwenn gritted her teeth. âAre you aware of how Cherise injured her hand, Damien?â She laughed when Damien brought up this matter. âSince you know about it, why not clarify the matter before Dad today?â
She raised her brows and glanced at Beckham behind her. âDid Cherise get injured, or was she being unprofessional?â
Gwenn was still as confident as before that Cherise and Damien wouldnât dare to reveal the past, so she deliberately provoked them in front of Beckham because she was aware of the irreconcilable feud between the Tanner and Lenoir families.
It didnât matter that Cherise had now reconciled with Damien or had once recklessly thwarted the Tanner familyâs arson plan⦠If any of the Tanner familyâs old fogeys found out about it, Cherise could no longer be the Tanner familyâs heir.
Then, Gwennâs fiancé. Evan Tanner, would be next in line to inherit everything from the Tanner family.
This was the outcome Gwenn had always dreamed of.
Now that Damien has personally brought up Cheriseâs injury from back then, Gwenn naturally wanted to seize the opportunity and let Beckham know what his biological daughter had done three years agoâ¦
âI know how Cherise was injured.â
