Sally was very regretful at this time and said to Bruce quickly, “I...I...I will ask Diana for forgiveness and I will be very kind to her in the future. Then I will have a talk with Judson Ray and ask them to remarry. I know Diana still loves Judson. Yesterday, I tried to introduce someone else to her but she refused. I am going to find them now...”
Bruce shook his head with a disapproval expression, “It’s too late. If you were them, will you forgive yourself? How stupid...”
Sally heard of it and thought it for a while, and then she fell to the ground limply. She was extremely clear how she treated Diana and Judson during these years...
They wouldn’t forgive her, forever. Especially after she had grabbed what belonged to Diana, their relationship didn’t have the chance to ease any more.
An image occurred to Sally which was about six-year-old Diana.
One day, coming from school, Diana brought a bunch of roses to her, and said happily, “Mom, I have saved money for a long time to buy them for you. Are they beautiful?”
However, Sally took over them and threw them away. Grounding the flowers under her feet, she was spanking Diana, “How dare you buy the flowers? Do you have much money? Well, do not want money from me!”
“No, I will not do it again...” Six-year-old Diana was running while sobbing loudly.
...
A few minutes later, Sally recovered from her thoughts, and her face got extremely pale. She didn’t beg for Bruce any more, but left the Ray Group soulless.
After her leaving, Bruce’s secretary frowned, “Mr. Hill, is it too kind for her to leave?”
There was a flicker of anger in his eyes, “Kind? She couldn’t regret more. Lady Diana renounced the relationship between her. Even if Diana remarried Judson, Sally could do nothing but admire...”
He reached to one of the windows after those words, watching the distant street. Sally stood beside the road, and was forced to get on a van. He sneered.
Bill didn’t contact Sally actively because he had found out what she did. Sally owed gambling debts up to several millions, which were from not only her friends and family but also outside forces.
So there was no need to deal with her by himself. As long as he released the message that Ray Group suppressed Sally, there would be a plenty of people waiting to deal with her.
...
In an abandoned underground storehouse in the southern area of the city, Sally looked at a bald man fearfully, “Sir, I will pay back the money. I will pay them back, just give me some time, please! I will ask my daughter...Please don’t beat me. Please...”
The bald man sneered, and poked her chain with a steel tube, “Well, Sally Shaw, how do you pay back the money? I have already known your daughter has broken up with you.”
Sally shook her head at once, “Sir, just give me one more chance, and a few days. I will borrow money. I will really borrow the money...”
He was so handsome but frigid. Actually, he didn’t pretend to be chill which was just caused by the deepest pain in his heart.
The meeting room was very big with 200 square meters. There was a long table in the center of the room. 40 or 50 senior executives sit beside it. All man and woman were in simple and clean suits with confident expression.
“First, I want to introduce myself. I am Judson Ray. I spent three days to know about the whole SKY Group. I am satisfied with most of you. Josh Thomson in marketing department,Adam Dawson in foreign trading department, Kieran Mills, who was in charge of American and European distribution center. Leon Robertson who was in charge of construction aid projects in West Africa, and Nicolas Jenkins, who is responsible for solar energy in northern European...Now, you are fired...” Judson paused.
Then, he went on, “Legal department...report persons above to the Public Security Bureau at once and take proceedings against them to higher municipal court...”
After his words, the atmosphere in the meeting room was subdued. No one had thought Judson Ray would solve five senior executives on the first day! It was not simple as firing them. He even sent them to jail!
“Mr. Ray, they five are senior employees of our group and made great contribution to Ray Family. It is enough to fire them...” Joey Pearce who sat in front of Judson’s left, frowned and tried to persuade him not to take legal actions.
Judson sneered and glanced at him, said coldly, “Who is the president, you or I?”
Hearing it, Joey Pearce didn’t plead anymore and lowered his head. Not only Joey Pearce,but also all senior executives kept silent. It was so quiet that a pin drop can be heard.
Judson was imposing and unstoppable. No one could over him.
