Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 644

The woman simply did not think Eric would do anything to her for Tanya’s sake. After all, she had been working for Eric for two years. Her work was not terrible either. “You can say whatever you like. You’re not really good at anything except for tattling and selling your sob stories. We gave you the money for food and everything else on that day, and now, you’re trying to extort us for more money. Thank goodness none of us taught you anything, it would’ve been a thankless task. Mr. Nathaniel, please beware. Don’t just pick up any rotten thing that comes your way. A woman without any relatives must have an ulterior motive for clinging onto you.”

Tanya burst into tears of anger. It was bad enough that they were twisting facts. It was even more insulting to hear them speak of her this way when she had never harbored any intention toward Eric!

Eric’s face turned ashen from anger. “Should I teach you manners? You’re lucky I’m the one dealing with this matter instead of Tiffany Lane or Arianne Wynn. One is a member of the West family, and the other is a member of the Tremont family. You can’t afford to offend any one of them. The ‘rotten thing’ you mentioned is much stronger than any of you. She has a keen eye for talent and all of her friends are outstanding individuals. Unlike those two next to you who are so useless that they’re even afraid to speak. The only thing they know is to bully the weak and fear the strong.”

Eric’s relationship with Mark and Jackson was not a secret. Everyone in the business world knew about it. The three women did not expect Tanya to have connections with the Wests and the Tremonts. They thought she was a meek, mild-mannered little hillbilly they could push around as they pleased. Colors drained from their faces when they heard Eric’s words. All of them fell silent in fear.

In the end, the woman who slapped Tanya yesterday finally mustered up her courage to apologize. “I’m sorry, Tanya, we shouldn’t have done that to you. Why don’t you tell us how you’d like to settle this matter?”

Tanya wiped the tears off her face before she stuck her hand out. “Just return me my money!”

The women simply could not figure out how poor little Tanya managed to established connections with the Wests and the Tremonts. She did not try to settle the score, instead, she only wanted them to return her money. Moreover, the money was not even a huge amount.

The woman forced a smile on her face before she pulled out her money and handed it to Tanya. “Is this enough?”

Tanya glared at her. “It’s 55 dollars for each of you. Since I have no relatives, I won’t be giving any of you discounts.”

Eric waved his hand. “Alright, you can all leave. Collect your salaries from the finance department. Pack up and go. I don’t need people like you here, bringing down the work environment.”

The three women were shocked. They had reluctantly apologized to avoid getting fired. They were completely humiliated, and they still lost their jobs. They glared at Tanya as though it was her fault that they had lost their jobs.

Tanya knew it was difficult to find a good job and did not expect Eric to fire them. Her heart softened. “Ricky, let’s just let the matter go? They’ve already returned the money and apologized…”

Eric’s lips twitched. It was bad enough that she had called him Ricky in private, but she was even calling him that in front of his staff. He was slightly displeased. “Your heart is too soft… They deserve this. Only those with money and authority can show off in this world. You have that, but you’re not using it. Bowing and scraping to gain favor won’t do you any good. Don’t be so foolishly nice next time. Remember, the Tremonts rule the capital, and the Wests aren’t simple either. Having Arianne and Tiffany as your friends are more than enough to ensure you have a good life.”
