NovelFinishChapter 2808 Go ahead, he replied, curious to see where this was going.
Without missing a beat, Tilda accepted the call.
Then the sound of Ritas tearful voice rang out from the other end.
Lyndon, Ive been replaced by the crew.
The director said your wife was behind it.
I dont understand why.
What did I do to upset her? Why would she ruin the job you arranged for me? Tildas fingers tightened ever so slightly around the phone.
The job Lyndon had arranged for her? She glanced at him, her expression unreadable.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRita was trying to stir the pot, subtly reminding Lyndon of his wifes interference. This was a challenge-a test of his pride.
A man like Lyndon, powerful and self-assured, wouldnt appreciate having his decisions undermined, especially not by his wife.
It would be humiliating.
Rita was indeed trying to stir things up, but Tilda wasnt about to let that happen.
A soft chuckle escaped her lips, one that sent an unmistakable message.
Rita, do you really not know why I replaced you? On the other end of the line, there was a stunned silence, the brief pause stretching out.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTilda felt the edges of a smirk threatening to rise.
Im not here to ruin others careers, Rita.
Just yours.
A silence followed, tense and brittle.
Ritas voice, when it returned, was barely a whisper.
Why me? Because the opportunities youve been given arent ones youve earned. Tilda replied calmly, cutting straight to the point.
Lets stop pretending, shall we? She flicked her hair, putting her weight stightly on the edge of the desk.
Scarlet approached you, didnt she? ta She asked you to get close to myn husband to drive a wedge between us. And since you admire him so much, it wasnt hard for you to play along, was it? Chapter 2808 Tip: You can use left, right keyboard keys to browse between chapters.
