After She She Stopped Loving Him

Chapter 128

Mary had been busting her ass for years trying to hold onto her position, pushing herself so hard she barely saw

her own son anymore. Now, all she felt was total exhaustion and regret.

Honestly, sticking around wasn’t worth it-these people wouldn't rest until they'd forced her out, no matter

what.

Still, if she could manage to save someone's life before leaving, maybe that'd mean she hadn't wasted all these

years.

“As long as you don’t involve that girl in whatever you're planning, I'll write up my resignation letter right now -

I'll quit tomorrow,” Mary said, her voice firm even though inside, she was falling apart.

Mary knew-maybe she could save the girl this time, but if it happened again, she’d be helpless.

Besides, this girl wasn’t the only victim caught up in all this.

Leon's eyes twinkled with amusement, his face practically buzzing with excitement. “You sure about that?”

Mary nodded, bitterness twisting in her chest. She'd poured thirteen years into this company-how could she just

walk away now?

‘But this place stopped making room fora long tago,’ Mary thought.

Leon slapped the table and smirked. “Alright, deal.”

Mary didn’t bother saying anything else. She'd always despised Alex Wilson and his circle-all rotten to the core,

treating Starlight like it was just sprivate harem selection. God knows how many girls they've preyed on

over the years. Honestly, they're nothing but animals.

As Mary stepped out, the girl was waiting for her right outside the door.

“Ms. Hall...” the girl whispered, her voice shaky.

Mary wasn't the type to complain or wallow. She slowly unclipped her work badge, her voice steady yet distant.

“I'm sending in my resignation tomorrow. Tonight, you won't have to go to that party, but they'll keep coming

after you. Just... look out for yourself, okay?”

The girl's eyes brimmed with tears, lips trembling as the reason for Mary's leaving hit her all at once.

She quickly wiped away her tears, forcing herself to sound brave. “Alright, I'll go to the party if that's what it

takes. Ms. Hall, | know how much you've sacrificed for this company.”

Mary looked a little taken aback, then gave a rueful smile. “Weren't you just putting your life on the line for this a

minute ago?”

The girl's expression flickered with disappointment. “I don’t want to mess up your future. If anyone takes

advantage of me, I'll grit my teeth and get through it.”

With that, she swung open Leon's office door and declared, “Mr. Cole, I'm willing to go to the party with you. Ms.

Hall is staying!”

Leon was still basking in the thrill of finally forcing Mary out when the girl barged in without a hint of respect. His

joy vanished instantly. Annoyed at her blatant disregard for authority, he slammed his palm hard on the desk.

“How dare you!” he roared.

Right as he shouted, the office door-which was nearly closed-was pushed open by a graceful hand.

Yolanda stood at the entrance, glancing between the two people locked in a standoff and Mary lingering by the

door. With a puzzled look, she raised an eyebrow. “So what's all this about?”

Yolanda’s beauty was so stunning, Leon's jaw just about hit the floor. His eyes went wide with greed.

‘Who signed this new talent?’ Leon sneered inwardly. ‘With looks like hers, she blows every actress out of the

water.

Leon grinned to himself, ‘If | take her out tonight, those contracts will practically fall into my hands-couldn’t be

easier.’

His anger disappeared in a flash; he plastered on his most fake-friendly smile, leering as he moved in close to

Yolanda, hand already sliding toward her waist.

“You're one of the new talents, right? I'll bring you to the party tonight. Be a good girl and even if you don’t have

any work yet, | can slip you straight into a lead role in a major project,” Leon said with that sleazy tone.

Just as his hand was about to land on her waist, Yolanda’s hand flashed out and smacked him hard in the face

-no warning, no hesitation.

The slap was so loud and crisp it echoed around the whole office, stinging everyone's ears and making the pain

almost palpable just from the sound.

Leon stood there, stunned, eyes bulging with disbelief.

“Did you just hit me?” he blurted out, utterly floored.

Yolanda gave a cool little smile, rubbing her stinging palm. “Yeah. Got a problem with that?”

Leon let out a short, angry laugh, thinking, ‘Guess this rookie has no clue how things really work around here!’

Standing by the doorway, Mary couldn't help but feel a rush of satisfaction at the sound of that slap-only for

worry to creep in right after for the new girl who'd just landed herself in this mess.

Leon snatched up a vase from the desk, eyes blazing with fury. “You got a death wish or something? Who do you

think you are, hitting me?”

But Yolanda moved faster-before he could even swing, she drove her foot right into his stomach, sending him

reeling.

The vase crashed down onto his own head, leaving him seeing stars and almost splitting his scalp open.

Yolanda calmly took out her appointment letter, spread it open, and set it down right on the office desk.

“Mr. Cole, it's my first day as CEO. All this yelling and threatening people-don’t you think that’s a bit much to

kick things off?” she said coolly.

Leon stared at the document, stunned. ‘Wait, the new CEO... is her? And she’s drop-dead gorgeous?‘ he thought,

floored.

He clutched his head, his mind racing.

Yolanda smirked, strode right over and claimed his chair without hesitation. “Not bad. Seems you forgot to set
