Edith shuddered on the inside. She stared at Jasper in disbelief. In the past, Jasper had always given her a chance whenever she made a mistake just because she went to the military with him.
He had never been so harsh to her either.
However, his words were now so jarring, and it was all because of Willow.
Edith’s pride was brutally damaged.
She felt reluctant and aggrieved, but Jasper was still furious. She begged fearfully, “Mr. Hughes, I was wrong. Give me another chance…”
“Tyson, take her away. Hand her to the police station for embezzlement of fifty million public funds. Have her punished for betraying the company and leaking our trade info as well. Tell the station to handle this as a severe case,” Jasper instructed coldly without even looking at Edith.
Back when Edith had framed Willow for stealing the company’s design, Jasper had warned her that that was her last chance.
Not only did Edith refuse to change, but she got even worse by harming Willow and deceiving him.
She dared to beard the lion in his den!
“Understood, Mr. Hughes,” Tyson affirmed. He called two bodyguards along, and they made their way to Edith.
Edith had been maintaining her composure. However, upon hearing Jasper’s cruel orders, she began to panic.
She crawled over to Jasper and started pleading, sounding as if she was on the verge of tears.”Mr. Hughes, please spare me this once considering the fact that I’ve been loyal to you and worked sincerely for you all these years…”
She didn’t want to go to jail. She was still young and had her youth and bright future ahead of her.
If she was convicted, she might face three to five years of jail time. Since Jasper ordered that this be handled as a severe case, it might even be more than five years. She would suffer in there.
She would be bullied by men, beaten up, or even starved.
All kinds of tragic incidents could happen.
Edith’s scalp prickled at the thought as she panicked.
Her ribs were hurting as if Jasper’s kick had broken them.
Enduring the pain with tears in her eyes, Edith gave Jasper a look of reluctance and sadness before she firmly turned away and left.
She had served Jasper for ten years, silently loving him all these years.
She had thought he would treat her differently because of their time together.
However, he was just as impartial and merciless towards her!
He had even kicked her to avoid being touched by her.
At that moment, Edith was dejected, sad, jealous, and baffled, but she had to accept this reality.
As the noble daughter of Price Group, Edith had given up a life of luxury to pursue Jasper by following him into the military and then serving him as his secretary. After ten years, not only had she failed to move him, but she had even lost miserably to a country bumpkin!
