I spoke up because I can't stand people using this incident to slander all women. This has nothing to do with you." Had Bernard not been so misogynistic over Jane's actions, Nyla wouldn't have said a word.
Jane gritted her teeth and shifted her pleading gaze back to Damon. "Mr. Sumner, I know I made a mistake. Please, giveanother chance. I swear it won't happen again." Damon replied coldly, "You're not sorry for what you did. You're sorry you got caught. You know this scandal will ruin the Wilkie Group's reputation and cost you your position as general manager."

"Mr. Sumner-" Damon cut her off, "Take responsibility for your actions. Prospectus Technology has been disqualified from this bid. Our legal team will handle the damages and your behavior."

"You're useless! If it weren't for marrying you, I wouldn't be in this humiliating position!" Jane cried.
Gabriel's face bore a visible red mark, but he remained unflinching, his gaze calm. "You're blaming me? If you hadn't sabotaged Prospectus Technology's bid, none of this would have happened. This is your mess, not mine. Blaming others just shows your incompetence."
"What did you just say?" Jane stared at him in shock, as though seeing him for the first time. "How dare you En talk tolike this?" Gabriel smirked. "Why wouldn't I? After all, you're about to lose
