In the Years That Followed, There Was No Trace of You in My Life

Josephine returned to the company after completing the household registration transfer procedures. When she opened the office door, she saw Katie sitting at her desk with her child in her arms.

“Get out of the way. This is my seat.”

Katie raised her eyelids and coldly swept a glance at Josephine. “Your seat? Did Roderick not tell you that as of today, you're fired? And this will be my spot from now on.”

She pushed a divorce agreement and a termination notice of dismissal in front of Josephine.

“Sign it now. Don’t waste each other’s time.”

Josephine laughed lightly. “If I refuse to sign, what can you do to me?”

Katie rolled her eyes in contempt. “Roderick praised you for being atmospheric and understanding, but now it seems you’re nothing more than that. Say it, what do you want before you sign?”

Josephine's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement. Katie was so arrogant now. It seemed that she didn't realize that Roderick had reached his current position entirely because of her.  

In the beginning, she fell in love at first sight with Roderick, who was a hero who saved beauty at first sight. She quietly spent money and resources to push him from a small transparent person in the entertainment industry to the current top position.

Just imagine that a virtuous wife who had helped her husband achieve his dreams would be betrayed by her own husband after he succeeded and instead have an affair behind his wife's back.

“I don't want anything, Ms. lawson. Just make sure you keep an eye on the trash I've discarded, or else someone else might snatch it away. After all, a cat that's tasted fish will never linger for just a single fish.”

Katie choked and was speechless for a moment. Without waiting for her to understand, Josephine had already signed and simply threw away the pen. 

Just as she was about to leave, Katie violently got up and slapped her across the face. She then pushed her to the ground with force.

“Josephine, what gives you the right to act so arrogant as an abandoned woman? How dare you call Roderick trash and curse me for being cheated on?”

“I want you to see the reality. The one who was dumped is you. It's Roderick who doesn't want you and that bitchy seed in your belly anymore!”

The sharp pain in her abdomen caused Josephine to panic. In the next moment, Katie slapped the child hard across the face and then threw the child forcefully at Josephine with force. 

Josephine subconsciously caught the child. But her entire body was knocked to the ground.

The baby was shocked and cried out tearfully. Katie obediently knelt in front of Josephine.

“Josephine, please give me back my child! I'll never dare to compete with you for Mr. Girault anymore. Please, let my child go!”

Roderick rushed in when he heard the noise. “What's going on? What happened to the baby?”

“Roderick, I don't know why Josephine did this. I just told her that the public opinion on the internet is not friendly to her right now. And asked her to sign a resignation notice of dismissal to temporarily block the mouths of the netizens.”

“She suddenly called me a slutty mistress and said my child was a bastard. She also suddenly went crazy and snatched my child and slapped him hard. The baby has been crying nonstop. He must have been very scared.”

“Josephine, if you have any grievances, take it out on me. Why do you want to hurt my child?”

Roderick's eyes were filled with disappointment. “Josephine, how could you be like this?”

He picked up the child. He quickly left with Katie. Roderick did not pay the slightest attention to Josephine, who was pale-faced as she covered her belly and weakly paralysed on the ground.

“Roderick…”

The pain in her abdomen became more and more intense. Josephine cried out Roderick's name in despair through her tears. But she only saw his back walking farther and farther away.

Josephine panicked and dialled 911. And when she saw the emergency personnel, she finally couldn't hold on and fainted.

When she woke up again, she frantically looked at the doctor. “Doctor, my child?”

“It's fine. I have been given Atropine. The baby is saved now.” 

The doctor spoke softly to comfort her, “You need to rest well in the future and be careful not to bump into anything again.”

“By the way, where is your husband? It's such a time, why doesn't he come to stay with you?”

“I'm divorced and don’t have a husband.”

The doctor was stunned. His face looked ashamed. 

“Then have a good rest. You can be discharged after the drip.”
