To Be Yours Again by Taylor

Chapter 600

Chapter 600 Teach You a Lesson

"This is for your own good, Jade. You could expand your skills anywhere and however you wanted outside of Bardoff

City," Hayden insisted, stopping her from leaving.

Jade frowned. "You want me to leave because you're scared I'll take away everything you have, aren't you?"

"Scared?" Hayden stiffened. "You really are still as proud as ever. Do you think you're that capable? Trust me, I have

nothing to be afraid of, whether it's Jeneration Group or some startup of yours."

Hayden was only giving her this alternative because killing her would claim a lot of resources. "Funny that it gave

her this impression," he thought.

Jade wasn't upset at all. She had long grown out of the limited perspectives that held her back all those years ago,

especially her uncontrollable temper. "Then there's no need to waste your breath here. Goodnight? She made to

walk away, but Maria stepped in front of her.

"I know you hated me for stealing Hayden from you, Jade," Maria began." But I truly do love him. But it's been so

long. Are you really still upset about that?"

She sounded like she was begging for forgiveness, but Jade knew better.

"We were the best of friends all those years ago. If you want to, I can secure a spot for you at work in the company

instead of working for those outsiders. We promise to treat you right." Instead of outright force, Maria seemed to

think persuasion would do the trick.

Unfortunately for her, Jade was no longer as naive as before. Her heart and mind no longer fell into chaos at those

deceptive words.

Hayden still hadn't caught onto what Maria was doing. He was about to speak up when Maria shot him a look,

making him go silent.

"Think about it, Jade. You're one of the reasons the company is where it is today. I’m sure it still means something to

you," Maria continued.

Jade's heart did murmur at the offer. Though she no longer had any feelings for those two, she still deeply cared for

the company she had single-handedly established. Sadly the company had sunk into decrepitude at these two's

hands, becoming a model example of design plagiarism, something Jade absolutely despised as a fashion designer.

That was also another reason she would return to that company as an employee.

She gave Maria a cold, flat look. "I fell for your tricks once. Do you really think I'll fell for it a second time? Do you

take me for an idiot?"

"Ja—"

"Shut the hell up," Jade cut her off. "I'll return to the company, sure, but I'm going to do it my way."

She hadn't planned on involving herself with them again, but now that they had come looking for trouble, she

wasn’t about to look a gift horse in the mouth. Jade wouldn't go back to work for the company, nor would she

tolerate watching her efforts ruined at their hands.

So, she had decided to take it back by shareholding, then liquidating it, permanently wiping it off from the registry.

"Why are you still wasting your breath on her?" Hayden asked. "She's never going to listen.' He went up to Jade and

growled, "Fucking bitch. I'll teach you a lesson if it's the last thing I do!"

With that, he raised his hand to slap her.
