Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 555

Olivia stared at her gloomily. Just as she was about to flare up, she suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

Her eyes flickered, and she put on an aggrieved expression, saying sadly, “Haley, I don’t know who instructed you,

but people have to pay the price for every lie they say!”

“I do believe that good and evil will eventually be repaid. It’s just that the time for repayment may not have arrived

yet.” Haley threw her work pass on the ground with a mocking expression and said coldly, “Once again, I officially

announce that I, Haley Bean, propose to resign from the Cruise Group. The reason for my resignation… is that my

values don’t match yours.”

Olivia’s face instantly turned pale, and there was an imperceptible panic in her eyes.

Although Haley was not an old employee of the company, she was the person who had the most harmonious

relationship with her so far.

She had just taken over the company not long ago and was still gradually getting used to many things in the

company. Now that Haley had proposed to resign, she could not deal with the matters in the company alone at all.

Louis Smith, who arrived late, frowned when he heard Haley’s words.

He knew how important Haley was to Olivia Cruise.

“Haley, have you really thought it through?” Olivia’s heart was already a mess, but at this moment, she did not

show it on her face. She tried her best to persuade Haley. “In your current situation, leaving at this time means that

all the hard work you put in previously is in vain. Do you really have the courage to start

over?

Haley replied calmly. “It’s better to start over than to do things against my conscience in your company. Besides…”

She paused for a moment and said sarcastically, “I’m really afraid of following in Lynn’s footsteps.”

That casual sentence instantly pushed public opinion to another peak.

“As Olivia Cruise’s assistant, she’s closer to her than ordinary people. Naturally, she knows some unspeakable

secret,” one reporter said.

“She keeps saying that Lynn was coerced. Perhaps she has already found some evidence,” the other reporter

added.

“It’s a good thing that Haley resigned at this time. Otherwise, who knows how tragic her death will be in

the future.”

The discussions of the reporters below the stage entered Olivia’s ears.

She clenched her fists tightly and dug her nails into her palms. She burrowed into Louis’ arms with an aggrieved

expression, but her eyes were terrifyingly cold.

Louis looked down at the aggrieved woman in his arms. He felt his heart had been pierced by a needle.

He landed his palm on her back, gently patting and comforting her.

“According to the employment contract, you have to pay double the penalty if you leave without prior notice. Have

you really thought it through?” His voice was calm, but there was a chilling coldness in his words.

His words were like a basin of ice water pouring over her head. Haley felt her entire body turn cold, and the urge

vaguely stirring in her body just now was instantly dispelled.

She had only sensed danger from Lynn’s matter and wanted to get rid of the Cruise Group and Olivia Cruise in a

hurry. However, she had overlooked the terms of the employment contract in a moment of negligence.

However, she had already proposed to resign. How could she continue to stay in the Cruise Group?

Even if she really stayed, she could imagine how difficult her life would be in the future.

Not only would Olivia think of ways to torture her, but others would also rack their brains to make things difficult for

her.

Haley was in a dilemma at this moment.

Olivia looked at the worried look on Haley’s face, and the anger in her heart finally subsided a little. “Haley, as long

as you’re willing to stay, I can pretend that nothing happened just now.”

Her words were sincere. If Haley did not understand her, she might have believed her easily.

Unfortunately, she knew how vicious Olivia Cruise was

She had embarrassed Olivia today and exposed the fact that she had threatened Lynn. If she continued to stay by

her side, she could imagine what kind of miserable outcome she would have.

However, the double penalty for breach of contract…

Just as Haley was at a loss, her phone suddenly rang. There were only a few words in the message, but it made her

eyes light up with hope.

She turned off her phone and looked up at Olivia. “I’ll pay double the penalty!”

Without waiting for Olivia to speak, she said again, “It seems that the Cruise Group is really down and out. Now, you

have to rely on the double penalty for breach of contract of the resigned staff.“

When Olivia heard this, her face instantly darkened like the bottom of a pot. Her chest heaved violently as she

gritted her teeth and glared at Haley. “You… Good, good for you! Since you’re so carefree, let’s see who will hire

you after leaving the Cruise Group!”

This sentence undoubtedly cut off all of Haley’s escape routes.

The current Cruise Group was backed by Marina Jones. Offending the Cruise Group was equivalent to offending

Marina Jones. Therefore, any company would avoid having a connection with Haley.

After what Olivia Cruise said, who would dare to go against the Cruise Group?

She was expecting to see Haley’s flustered expression but realized Haley was not flustered. Instead, she was

abnormally calm.

“Miss Cruise, instead of worrying about my future, why don’t you think about the situation you’re going

to face?”

With that, she turned around and left without looking back.

Olivia frowned slightly and stared sinisterly at Haley’s back as she left.

When the reporters below the stage saw that Haley would rather bear a huge penalty for breaching the contract

and insist on leaving, they thought she was helping Lynn prove her innocence.

“Olivia, are you alright?” Louis looked down at Olivia in his arms.

Olivia came back to her senses and shook her head gently.

However, she hated Haley in her heart.

Originally, she had held a press conference to clarify the overwhelming rumors online. Now that Haley had

resigned, this matter was getting worse.

She couldn’t clear herself now, no matter what she did.

Just now, Haley had also said that Lynn had overturned her confession and was already on her way with the police.

What should she do?

“Louis, I’m not feeling well. I want to go back to the office to take a rest,” Olivia said gently.

Louis nodded. “Go back to the office first. I’ll handle this.”

Chapter 355 “Okay.”

Olivia wanted to find an excuse to leave and hide in her office to avoid being hounded by the reporters.

However, at this point, the smart reporters clearly smelled something unusual. How could they let Olivia Cruise

leave so easily?

Rachel saw Olivia being pestered by the reporters from her tablet. The corners of her mouth curled into a happy

smile.

She picked up a cherry and put it in her mouth.

She had always known that destroying something was not about one fatal blow but rather a torturing

process.

Then, she would watch aside as the other party collapsed and struggled.

It was like looking indifferently at a stranded fish.

Wasn’t Olivia Cruise good at winning people’s support?

Then the stage she set today made her lose the support.

No longer supported by others, she would only be despised and (tra mpl*d) on in the future.

At this moment, Marina Jones was also paying attention to this live broadcast.

The current situation was already very disadvantageous for Olivia Cruise. Anyone with a discerning eye could see

that, but…

“Miss Jones, aren’t we going to take a look there?” The assistant looked up at the expression on Marina’s face.
