Chapter 429 She Had Nothing to
Do with You
Huston felt his hand tighten at his side, and he restrained himself as he asked, “When did you develop
other feelings for
her?”
Brad knew that Huston had already guessed the general idea, so he no longer tried to be evasive.
“From the moment I saw Ms. Klein at the airport when she returned to the country, I was attracted to
her. Afterward, you asked me to stay here, and she showed me warmth and care. Her fragile condition
made me instinctively want to take care of her. Gradually, I couldn’t control my feelings.”
Speaking of these, Brad still felt a sense of happiness. At least
he had made an effort. He quickly added, “It’s not Ms. Klein’s
fault. It’s all my own fault. It’s me… being foolishly infatuated.”
His self-deprecating words made Huston’s brow furrowed
even more. If Brad had communicated with him before this,
he would not have hindered him too much. He might have
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteven encouraged him to pursue love. However, everything had
taken a different turn, and the situation had become tainted.
Brad’s deliberate concealment and some unknown facts had
caused Huston to lose trust in him.
No matter how much he appreciated Bra
for him to continue to hire him. Sincerity and trust were the
most important things between à superior and a subordinate. He had betrayed his trust.
Huston’s achievements today were inseparable from his ability to separate personal and professional
matters. Upon hearing this, he didn’t want to continue listening, and disappointment welled up in his
eyes. “Brad, you have been my subordinate for many years. While you may not have made significant
contributions, you have still put in effort. However, you have acted wrongly and crossed my bottom line.
I will give you a sum of money and have my lawyer draft
a contract termination for you.”
Brad froze, not because of losing the job or the money, but
because of his reluctance and shock.
Huston had once saved Brad in a dire situation, and Brad
had decided to dedicate his life to him. However, he never
expected their bond to be so short-lived, and the end would
come so abruptly.
But no matter how reluctant he was, he was too ashamed to
fight for anything. It was his dereliction of duty, and he had no
room to defend himself.
Faced with his longtime subordinate, Huston couldn’t help but
such a desolate state. As he turned to leave, he was halted by Brad’s call. Then, there was a loud thud
behind him, and to his surprise, this tough man knelt on the ground!
“Mr. Lloyd! Before I leave, I only have one last request…” Brad clenched his fists tightly, and his arms
trembled slightly despite his efforts to control them. “Could you please let me see Ms. Klein once?
Because of me, she got into trouble, and I can’t find peace in my heart…”
“There’s no need.” Huston refused decisively. “Regardless of her current situation, she has nothing to
do with you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer words sounded ruthless, but in fact, he was comforting Brad. On the one hand, he wanted Brad to
give up this idea as soon as possible. On the other hand, he didn’t want Brad to
blame himself too much:
No one could stop something unexpected from happening.
Brad was negligent but should not bear full responsibility for Mia’s drowning incident.
After receiving such a reply, the only light in Brad’s eyes
dimmed. He knew it would be extremely difficult to get in
touch with Mia after he was dismissed.
This realization made Brad fall into sadness. He felt his heart
boiling and said what he had always
suy,
Lloyd, I know that I shouldn’t have said these words. I don’t have the right or standpoint to say them,
but during my time with Ms. Klein, I can see she likes you very much. She likes you from the bottom of
her heart.”
When Huston heard this, his face darkened. He turned to face him and asked, “What are you trying to
say?”
