---- president's wife now that your company has grown? "Don't forget that you tricked my father out of the funds for your company's start-up capital! And if we want to go all the way back, there's also all those shady deals of yours-" Hayden slapped her in the face. "Shut up!" His second slap was even harder than the first from a few days ago. In fact, he hit her so hard that her head turned to the side. Suddenly, the finance department manager, Tyson Buckley, shouted from inside the office, " What? How much did you say you transferred to Scarlett's card last quarter?" Discussions broke out throughout the company. "| heard that Scarlett transferred all the money out of the company's account to her own last month to buy luxury goods..." ---- "On the day Lucy left, the surveillance cameras recorded Scarlett spitting on her computer..." "No wonder Mr. Weatherford keeps making trips to the legal department recently..." Scarlett grabbed Lucy's photo that was on Hayden's desk and threw it at the crowd. "You bitches are all nothing but fence-sitters! Weren't you all mocking her for being a mistress back then? Well, you don't get to judge me now!" The marketing department manager, Sasha Riley, sneered amid the sound of shattering glass. " We're all discerning people. At the company party two months ago, someone personally witnessed you walking into Mr. Weatherford's room in the middle of the night in nothing but a bathrobe-" "You're lying!" yelled Scarlett. She glared at Sasha and picked up a coffee cup nearby, but Hayden grabbed her wrist just as she was about to throw it at Sasha. ---- He stared at Lucy's smiling face in the broken photo frame and swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing violently. "Did you smash Lucy's photo frame?" "So what if I did?" Scarlett challenged, shaking off Hayden's hand. Then, she poured the coffee in the cup onto Lucy's smiling face in the photo.
