Female Novel
Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei Chapter 298
Chapter 298 John even picked up the scattered basket and fruits that were tossed out by Elisa.
A fruit basket cost a couple of hundred bucks.
The Hunts would rather eat the fruits than give them to Serenity.
As if Serenity cared. It was not like she never ate fruits before.
John took a ride in Mike‘s car to get to Serenity‘s shop. He got into the car and called his boss, Mr.Ziegel, right away. John wanted to explain to Mr. Ziegel about the earlier incident.
Unfortunately, Mr. Ziegel had already received notice from the headquarters. Before John could finishtalking, Mr. Ziegel expressed his regret. “John, the dispute between you and your cousins is simple andeasily resolvable. You could‘ve apologized with earnestness and issued a public apology online. Notonly will your cousins forgive you, but the online community will also let the thing go since you‘re willingto admit fault and change for the better.
“But what did you do? You‘ve been on suspension for a while, but you couldn‘t even take care of thematter. Things have only gotten ugly. You angered Ms. Stone and disappointed the headquarters.Arrange for a time to do your handover at the office. I‘d suggest you refrain from looking for a job fornow. Ms. Stone would make it hard for you to get a job in the city.”novelbin
“Mr. Ziegel... Mr. Ziegel... I...”
Mr. Ziegel had hung up on him.
Furious, John was tempted to smash the phone.
How was he supposed to know that Serenity and Elisa were good friends? It never crossed his mindthat Elisa would overhear his threats.
Behind the wheel, Mike asked his cousin, “Do you reckon there‘s a way out of this?”
“I‘m told to return to the office for a handover. Mr. Ziegel suggests that I don‘t look for a job for now. Ms.Stone will be out to get me.”
John was bitter.
Mike was livid too.
Ms. Stone was totally unreasonable. She had the nerve to
accuse them of shamelessness when she was no better than them.
She thought little of them just because she was born into a good family. A while later, John utteredresentfully, “Since they kicked me out of the company, I‘m going to apply for a job with their competitor.It‘ll be a piece of cake to join York Corporation. Stone Group should not blame me for going againstthem.

“An eye for an eye. Do they think I can‘t live without Stone Group?”
Big companies loved to acquire talent from their rival companies to get a competitive advantage. Johnwas a talent from Stone Group, so he trusted York Corporation would welcome him to the team.
Once he found his two feet and climbed up the corporate ladder, John would have the chance to shootElisa down in Mr. York‘s presence. Elisa could forget marrying into the York family.
The unreasonable woman did not deserve the heir of the Yorks and icon of the business world.
“Mike, we shouldn‘t bother apologizing to Serenity. That brat won‘t let us off the hook. She‘s trying toget us to apologize publicly on Twitter. Well, dream on!”
John said wickedly, “I‘ll drive a wedge between her and her husband, and destroy her marriage once Iget into York Corporation. I want Serenity and her sister to suffer and regret what she did to me today.”
He heard that Serenity‘s husband was working at York Corporation. John would have manyopportunities to befriend her husband when they became colleagues. It would be easy to set the coupleat odds.
Mike replied, “Did you think I wanted to come? We’re suffering dire consequences here. My friends inthe city have cut ties with me over it. I‘ve spent years building networks, but I lost them in a second. It‘sbeen hard on my business. Who would want to apologize if not to protect our financial interests?”
