Chapter 52 

Without a second thought, Jesper responded, “Jaylan went to the Harbor today. A shipment of equipment arrived, and he went to pick it up.” 

The Harbor? Isn’t that Addrion’s job? Why did he go personally?” I asked straight away. 

Addrion was an older college buddy of mine who had helped me a lot when I was just starting After I registered my company, I brought Addrion on board to handle transportation and external relations. He was also one of my shareholders 

“Addrion quit a while ago! He was caught smuggling personal items in our shipments, and he resigned voluntarily! Jesper replied smoothly 

“Smuggling?” I echoed with skepticism 

Before Jesper could answer. Jessica pushed the door open and walked in 

“Jesper, it’s time for the meeting, what are you still doing here?” she said as soon as she walked in 

Jesper glanced at Jessica and retorted. “Can’t you see our sister–in–law is here? Tell them to delay the meeting” 

“Aaliyah? What brought you here? Jessica seemed to notice me only then. She turned to the secretary who had just brought in the coffee and instructed. Inform everyone that the meeting is delayed by ten minutes!” 

I smirked internally it was clear that she was trying to get rid of me. 

Jessica sat down next to me with a forced smile and asked, “Are you feeling okay? You need to rest more!” 

“I’m fine! I got tired of lying around, and the doctor suggested I get some exercise. I thought I’d drop by the company and join Jaylan for lunch” I replied nonchalantly didn’t expect you all to be here and so busy!” 

Jaylan is very busy, running around all day it’s not like it was when you were here. The competition is intense now, we have to run our legs ragged to sell a single piece of equipment “Jessica was indirectly hinting at our financial difficulties. 

“Well you guys carry on! I won’t wait for Jaylan anymore, I won’t hold you up any longer!” I said as I stood up Tell Jaylan I stopped by when he gets back Jessica immediately stood up and said apologetically, “I’m so sorry, it’s just bad timing. We have a sales report meeting Why don’t you wait (11 call Jaylan and ask him to come back?” 

“No don’t bother I just came out for some fresh air and happened to swing by I don’t want to hold up your work. I’ll be going now” 

1 diplomatically excused myself and headed for the door, glancing at the empty conference room through its floor–to–ceiling windows. The meeting was obviously a ruse by Jesper and Jessica to get me to leave the company  Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The Dawsons were a family of actors, and Jessica was the star of the show. 

They accompanied me to the elevator, all smiles I waved at them, and as the doors closed, my smile faded. 

When the elevator reached the ground floor, Clara ran over to see me out. She watched as I got into my car 

As soon as I was in the car, anger surged through me and tears welled up in my eyes. 

Everything I worked for was taken away by these wolves in sheep’s clothing. 

I would not let this stand 

I drove to a secluded spot, leaned over the steering wheel, and cried my heart out 

After calming down, I pulled out my phone and dialed Addrion’s number from my new phone to avoid leaving a trace. But I was told that the number 

didn’t exist 

I sat there stunned, gripping my phone. I dialed the number again, but I got the same response 

How could it be disconnected?
