Chapter 578: Post
Chloe thought that since James had been in prison for three years and was occupying Ann's house, he must be living in poverty. But no, James was dressed cleanly and had a very polished demeanor, like someone from the upper crust.
Not wanting to see him, Chloe quickly covered her face and hurried into the school.
As she turned her head by chance, Chloe seemed to see a girl throwing herself into James's arms.
Chloe thought: 'No wonder he's dressed so well, he's meeting a female student.'
James is pushing fifty, yet he's dating a girl in her early twenties.
Chloe didn't know how Ann would react if she found out, but Chloe would never do something to stir up trouble.
When she got home, Chloe wrote a WhatsApp message to Nicole: [Nicole Winslow, I want to resign from the independent director position. I just started, and I'm not familiar with many things. I found it hard to keep up with the meeting just now, and I want to focus all my energy on teaching. What do you think? Sorry for any inconvenience.]
Shortly after, Nicole replied: "[Chloe, this job comes with a $200,000 annual salary. Are you sure you want to resign? If you're not familiar with everything yet, you'll get the hang of it over time. Or is there something else going on that you can't talk about?]
[No, I've made up my mind. I really want to resign.]
[Alright, then I'll talk to Mr. Blake.]
Nicole sent a WhatsApp message to Donovan: [Mr. Blake, Chloe wants to resign. She said she can't keep up with the meeting content.]
Donovan was having soup and replied: [No way! If she can't keep up now, she'll get used to it over time.]
Nicole took a screenshot of Donovan's WhatsApp message and sent it to Chloe with a "helpless" emoji and the words: [No way.]
Chloe really had no way out.
She thought Donovan was being really twisted. It seemed like he just wanted to flaunt his relationship with Cynthia in front of her, making her feel uncomfortable
But didn't Donovan know what kind of person Cynthia was?
Then again, Chloe mused, it didn't really matter what kind of person Cynthia was. What mattered was that Cynthia genuinely loved Donovan. After all these years, from Pearl Peak City to Verdania, and finally to Maple Valley, Cynthia had managed to get what she wanted.
Thinking of this, Chloe got even angrier at Donovan's recklessness and thought: 'Since I couldn't resign, I need to show Donovan some skills.'
So that Donovan won't underestimate me.
As for the job, Chloe didn't care.
Remembering Victoria's words and seeing Victoria's hesitant look, Chloe had a feeling it was related to her, so she opened the company forum.
Chloe hadn't logged in for a long time.
James's post used a very ordinary username, but it was obvious it was James.
One of the posts roughly said: [New East Group's president Donovan used his position to sleep with a low-level intern, even giving her hush money. The intern eventually fell for him and had his child. But then Donovan turned around and married his old college classmate who had been crushing on him for over ten years.]
Of course, the post was very sharp and explicit, describing the part where Chloe and Donovan slept together in a very pornographic way. The part about their marriage was also filled with Donovan's words against Chloe.
Chloe thought: 'Why don't you just directly mention my name?'
Chloe was very dissatisfied with James.
Moreover, this post was not only posted on the company forum but also on other forums.
Chloe thought, Donovan probably won't care about this kind of post.
It happened several years ago, and Chloe didn't want to care either.
Just as Chloe was about to turn off the computer screen, her phone rang.
