He signed resignedly. “Miss Frost has already handed the project over to Deputy Harrington…”
I froze on the spot, reflexively echoing, “Deputy Harrington?”
“Yes, Mr.Frost returned to the company and immediately promoted Attorney Harrington to Deputy Harrington. Not only the Rockwell project, but all your previous work has been transferred to Deputy Harrington as well…”
After finishing, the assistant glanced at my expression.
But I was unexpectedly calm, “I see.”
“Deputy Shaw, I can’t help but speak my mind. Fintan couldn’t handle things well even as a lawyer, let alone as a deputy director. He doesn’t understand these project matters at all, yet he insists on taking charge and giving orders. ‘If this continues, the company will be-”

His words abruptly stopped as Genevieve appeared.
His face, flushed red with anger, looked as if he had suffered a great injustice
on my behalf.
“Honey, how come you’re out of the hospital so soon? Don’t worry about the
company, Fintan’s helping me.”
Genevieve, with a face full of tenderness, tried to come over and take my
hand.
I snorted and dodged her, “What, am I not allowed to come? If I hadn’t come
to the office today, I wouldn’t have known that Miss Frost here had already
pushed me out.”
She gave an awkward smile and pulled me into the office, “Fintan wants to gain
experience, so just let him, okay? He’s still new to this, and you’re older than him, so you should guide him more.”
As the office door was pushed open, I realized that everything I had originally
designed had been shattered and demolished, completely remodeled.
The decorating style here was now everything I hated most, yet everything
Fintan loved best.
A row of collectible figurines worth hundreds of thousands of dollars was
arranged not far from the desk.
My carefully nurtured plants were nowhere to be seen.
“Where are my plants!”
I looked at Genevieve with a serious expression.Genevieve clung to my arm.
“Fintan said those green plants are competing with him for oxygen here, and
they’d be more suitable in the bathroom. I think they’re just ordinary plants,
so I’ll let him have his way.”
“If you like them, I can just buy you some better ones.”
I glared angrily at Genevieve.
She then sighed, “Alright, alright, I’ll have someone bring them back from the
bathroom now. But they can’t be put here anymore. Fintan says there’s still a
lot be doesn’t understand and needs to consult vou about Honey please do

es
me a favor and be Fintan’s assistant for a while, help me guide him!” I never imagined Genevieve could make such a shameless request. I was so angry I laughed. Fintan had returned at some point and saw me standing in what was now his office, looking smug. “Draven, you’re back!” Genevieve had to go to a meeting, leaving only Fintan and me in the office. Fintan didn’t bother pretending anymore. He sat on my carefully selected leather couch. “Draven, things are like this now. When are you going to get lost?“”Genevieve’s true feelings for you are crystal clear, can’t you see that? If she really cared about you, would she have tricked your dad into signing that settlement agreement? Would she have given me the keys to your marital home, letting my parents move in?”
“Draven, just get a divorce already. She doesn’t love you anymore!”
My tightly clenched fist suddenly relaxed. I placed the divorce papers on the table, and he stared at them intently before suddenly speaking up, “What are you trying to say?”
