Chapter 38

The next day, it was a day off.”
Bob did not return home all night.
I received a call from my former leader, Anna.
“Scarlet, I’ve opened a new branch office, right near your parents‘ home. You can consider whether you want to work for me. If you agree, I can offer you an annual salary of 600 thousand dollars, which is twice your current salary.“}
After a pause, Anna couldn’t help but complain.
“I’m very good at judging people. Believe me or not, your boyfriend is a bastard. Don’t let him hold you back.“}]
“Anna, okay.”
“Great!” Anna said with excitement.}
“Although you are young and inexperienced, you are capable and calm. Work for me carefully, and I’ll offer you good pay.“} “Thank you, Anna.“}
Anna was the right person who helped my career.
Now that I saw Bob’s nature clearly, I intended to seize the opportunity.D
After Anna hung up the phone, I quickly reported the good news to my parents.}
“Dear, you’re so amazing. Come home quickly and we will celebrate for you.“}
My heart ached as I thought that I didn’t pay attention to my family in these years. After graduation, I followed Bob to the city despite my parents‘ objections.
For the past five years, he had been central to my life.
He had a weak stomach, so I used to cook to nourish his stomach.
His salary was not as high as mine, so I would transfer money to him from time to time.
Even when he had trouble with his work, I would help him deal with it.
But in the end, he constantly took advantage of me and became even more aggressive.
I only planned to do my career well and live for myself at this time.}
The next day, I asked my leader for a resignation.
My leader tried to keep me, but I was determined to leave. Thus, he had no choice but to organize a department dinner in the evening to see me off.”
As I went back to the door of my house at 11:00 p.m., I heard noisy sounds from the living room, coupled with deafening music.
I frowned and took out the key to open the door.
The scene I saw made me even angrier.!
My carefully decorated living room was now in a mess, and the originally clean floor was covered with ribbons.
More than a dozen people were sitting on the two sofas.
Some of them looked familiar to me, and they were Bob’s friends. Also, there were some unfamiliar girls who should be Lucy’s friends.B
On the wall of the living room, there was a particularly eye–catching banner.
[Happy birthday, my princess Lucy.]
So, they were holding a birthday party at my house.
Seeing me coming back, Lucy pretended to be innocent and took Bob’s hand.”
“Bob, Scarlet isn’t angry, is she? Wasn’t she very tolerant of you in the past? Why is she so stingy now?”
Bob looked gloomy and accused me unhappily.
“Today is Lucy’s birthday. She invited everyone to our house to hold a party to save money for me. Everyone is having a good time now. Stop making trouble! Go back to your room first.”
I walked up to the two, and the people around them stepped back tactfully.
Then, there were only three of us left in the middle of the living room.
I took out the bill again with a smile, throwing it at Bob’s face with a bang.
“Mr. Wright, you have two choices.
“First, pay me all the expenses I’ve spent on you over the past five years, including the rent, which is a total of 150 thousand dollars. Get out of here with your new girlfriend.”
“Second, I’ll lock the door and call the police, suing you for trespassing!”
The moment I finished speaking, Bob’s friends looked at Bob in surprise.
“Isn’t Bob’s monthly salary over 20 thousand dollars? How come Scarlet is the one paying the rent?”
