"She's still a newcomer who just started appearing in court independently and is in her probationary period. What you're doing could ruin her future!"
"You're talking to me about her future now? Hmph!"
I laughed angrily. My already shattered heart felt like it had been thrown into a meat grinder, causing another wave of excruciating pain.
"Hans, let me tell you."
"Compared to my parents' lives, her future or your reputation—none of it matters!"
"You!"
"You're completely unreasonable!"
Hans spoke impatiently, "I don't want to argue with you. I don't care, but you must sincerely apologize to Pamela in the group chat."
"Additionally, you've been occupying the director's position for so many years despite being an outsider and many people in the law firm have complaints about this."
"Resign tomorrow. I'll take over the director's position."
"Both matters must be handled properly, or we'll divorce!"
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
The busy tone from the phone left my mind in a daze.
Is this the man I've loved for eight years?
Just after my parents passed away, he's pulling this stunt?
