Chapter 3

Shirley and my nephew were saved by the neighbor upstairs who discovered that.

After Shirley was saved, she took sleeping pills and attempted suicide again in the hospital.

Under the dual pressure of career and life, I resigned.

After losing my job, I comforted Shirley at home. After my brother divorced her, he never cared about her and my nephew. I had been supporting them financially.

But when she saw my brother bringing the pregnant mistress home, she went crazy and fought with the mistress. My brother got angry and called the police.

I went to the police station and couldn't bear to see my sister-in-law giving up on herself. I wanted to console her.

"Shirley, you and my brother have already divorced. You are so good, and you will definitely find someone better than him."

In front of the police, she slapped me and said, "Is it you and your brother who conspired so that the bitch can marry him and have his child?"

I kept explaining to her, trying to make her believe me.

However, Shirley didn't believe me that much, "If I find out that it was you and your brother who conspired against me, I won't let you go."

My sister-in-law kept telling me over and over again that I was the one who caused her current situation. Because of guilt, I gave up looking for a job and devoted myself to taking care of her at home.

What I got in return was her killing me.

This time I wouldn't give up the opportunity for promotion.

The company training is confined, and my phone was turned off during the training period.

After the training, I found my sister-in-law called me countless times. She knew about my training abroad.

Shirley was so anxious. I thought there must be a problem with her and my brother's relationship.

I ignored her call records, opened the email sent by the company, and received a promotion and salary increase notice as I performed well during the training.

To my surprise, I didn't get promoted to deputy manager, but directly became the manager.

I didn't know what happened, so I called Mr. Cox.

"Emily, let's talk about it when you come back to the company!" Before I could speak, Mr. Cox asked me to return.

I packed up my things quickly and booked the earliest flight back to the company.

"Miss Brown, Mr. Cox is waiting for you in his office. Please go inside."

Just back to the company, I didn't have time to ask what happened, Mr. Cox's secretary took me directly to the office.

I hurriedly went to Mr. Cox's office and asked the questions that puzzled me all the way. "Why did I get promoted to be the manager?"

Mr. Cox poured me a cup of tea. "Have a sip of tea first."

I took a sip, and then Mr. Cox slowly told me the whole story.

Mr. Cox was an old employee of the company. He had been working in this company for more than 20 years. In addition to an annual salary of two million dollars, he was also one of the shareholders of the company. Now that his children had their own families, at the age of 48, he often felt that he owed his family's company. He had long wanted to retire, and he had been intentionally cultivating me to be his successor.

"Emily, I have seen your efforts in the company over the years. With your abilities, you can handle this position."

My eyes were moist. Mr. Cox was my benefactor in the workplace. He promoted me step by step. When I thought about how I disappointed his expectations in my previous life and gave up his years of cultivation, my tears cannot be controlled.

"I won't let you down."

Mr. Cox gave me a week off to adjust my mentality. He would be in the company for the last month before he handed over his work to me.

It was really good to start over. I didn't let him down.

As soon as I returned home, I found a disheveled woman at the door, muttering something. I was scared by this scene and wanted to contact the security guards of the community to deal with it.

The woman turned around with dark circles under her eyes and a vacant look. "Emily, you're back."

I widened my eyes and took a closer look. It was my sister-in-law.

"Shirley, why are you at my doorstep?"
