Quit girlfriend and brother’s firm, now owe $30 million

I help Vivian Ross's company make a lot of money by shooting food exploration videos.

Just before her company was preparing to raise funds for IPO, I chose to resign.

Vivian angrily accused me, "Lucas Anderson, what do you mean by resigning at this time? Do you know how much loss this will cause to the company?"

My so-called good brother Marcus Bennett said to me with displeasure: "You are the pillar of our company. Why do you suddenly stab the company at this time?"

"Vivian is your girlfriend, and I am your best brother. If you have any grievances, just tell us. Why do you want to resign? We can discuss anything!"

I said calmly, "Have you ever seen a breadwinner who only earns $500 a month?"

After I resigned, Vivian and Marcus slandered me online and even sent me a lawyer's letter, asking me to compensate the company for $30 million in losses.

I resigned from Gourmet Insight Group.

For this, Vivian and Marcus were furious, scolding me for being ungrateful and calling me an ungrateful person.

In the office, Vivian smashed her beloved Porcelain Teacup.

Marcus bought this Porcelain Teacup from an auction and gave it to Vivian on her last birthday. It is said to be worth a lot of money, and Vivian has always regarded it as a treasure.

As I stared at the broken pieces of Porcelain Teacup on the floor, Vivian yelled at me, "Lucas, are you out of your mind?"

"What do you mean by suddenly resigning at this time?"

"Our company is about to raise funds and go public. The shareholders of the company are all waiting for this day. Why do you choose to stab us in the back at this time? What are you thinking?"

Marcus also frowned and said to me with an unhappy face: "Brother, if you want to resign, there must be a reason, right?"

"If you leave at this time, do you know how much loss it will cause to our company?"

"Even if you are unhappy working in the company, you have to wait until our company goes public before you talk about leaving. If you choose to leave now, isn't that a betrayal to me and Vivian?"

I calmly handed in my resignation letter and said calmly, "My three-year contract has ended. It's not against the law if I don't renew my contract with the company!"

Vivian tore up my resignation letter and yelled, "I don't agree with your resignation!"

"If you dare to resign, we will break up. It's up to you!"

Marcus also said to me in a deep voice: "Vivian is your girlfriend, and I am your best brother. Is there anything that cannot be discussed between us?"

"Lucas, you are the backbone of our company. If you leave, what will happen to the company?"

I smiled, but it was a cold smile.

I looked at them and said self-deprecatingly, "I am the pillar of the company? I really don't deserve it!"

"Have you ever seen a breadwinner who only earns $500 a month?"

As soon as I said this, Vivian and Marcus' faces suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Vivian glared at me and said, "Are you going to resign just because of this little thing?"

"Lucas, do you have me in your heart?"

"I told you before that I would give you Profit Shares after the company goes public. Why are you so stingy and haggling? Are you still a man?"

Marcus also hypocritically comforted me and said: "Our company is at a critical period recently. As one of the founders of the company, you have to take the lead and set an example."

"After the company goes public, Vivian and I will give you some of our company stocks. Don't get mad at us over that little salary."
