MainNovelChapter 325:
“It’s not a crto be slow,” Freya remarked, her eyes narrowing as she observed Vivien’s drawn-out resignation
process. “The real cris being slow and never trying to improve.”
Vivien’s eyes stung with unshed tears, her humiliation mounting. What gave this woman the right to treat her
like this?
Without a moment's hesitation, Freya snatched the resignation form from Vivien’s hand and then handed it to
Hugh for his signature.
“Your final paycheck will be wired to your account soon,” Freya said, her tone indifferent. “You can leave now.”
Vivien was livid, her face flushed with indignation.
She could feel the eyes of everyone on her, their silent mockery weighing on her like an anchor.
She clenched her fists, nails digging into her palms.
Hugh, watching the unfolding scene, cleared his throat awkwardly, mentioning he had other matters to attend to
before quickly exiting the room. He didn’t want Vivien to make any more false moves, particularly calling him
“Dad” in front of everyone. He didn’t want others to misunderstand, nor did he want Freya to misunderstand.
The moment Hugh left, the tension evaporated, replaced by an air of gossip.

“Vivien, now that you're out of here, maybe it’s tto get serious. No company runs on charity; they need real

“Is Mr. Briggs really your dad?”
“Seriously, if he was your father, how could he let you resign like this?”
“Maybe your dad's too busy, so Mr. Briggs had to step in.”
“Our chairman’s last nis Briggs, not Garza.”
“What if she took her mother’s surname?”
“Vivien’s mom’s maiden nis Newman.”
Vivien’s frustration deepened as the gossip buzzed around her. Her hatred for Freya grew in that moment.
She turned to face the group, her voice dripping with scorn. “Mr. Briggs isn’t my biological father, but he is my
stepfather. If | ever want to return to Briggs Group, he can find a job forwhenever | like. Even if | do nothing
but show up and clock in, I'll make more than any of you.” She spat the words out, desperate to assert her
superiority.
Freya, already prepared to leave, halted in her tracks. Vivien’s words had struck a chord.
The chill in her demeanor deepened.
