Over time, Tyler became increasingly arrogant, to the point where he didn’t take me seriously at all.
Soon after, I left the parking garage. As I was waiting for the barrier to rise, my car suddenly jolted.
Realizing I had been rear–ended, I got out of the car, only to see Rosalie and Tyler getting out of the car behind, hand in hand.
“Tm so sorry. Oh, Felix, it’s you? Tyler immediately walked up, looking distressed at his dented car front. “But why did you brake so suddenly?
I didn’t have time to react.
“What a shame, Rosalie just gave me this new car,” he added,
Rosalie also looked at me with a gloomy face and said coldly. “Did you do this on purpose? Did you know Tyler was behind you and deliberately brake to get revenge?”
I almost laughed at her accusation.
it
It was always like this.
She would push all the blame onto me without distinguishing right from wrong.

Before I could say anything, Tyler’s eyes slowly turned red.
“Rosalie, don’t blame Felix,” he said.

“Felix just resigned because of me, it’s normal for him to be angry

“After all, it’s all my
As he spoke, he clenched his fist and hit his forehead hard, as if in frustration.
But just before his fist touched his forehead, he deliberately loosened his grip.
Rosalie couldn’t see through this act. Her eyes filled with concern as she gently rubbed his forehead, saying lovingly, “It has nothing to do with you. Don’t take everything on yourself.”
After saying this, she glared at me angrily Seeming to get more upset the more she thought about it, she poked my forehead hard.
“Felix, can’t you learn from Tyler and take some responsibility?”
“He knows how to be humble. You’ve been working for so many years, why are you still so childish and arrogant?”
bled back a couple of steps from her push. After regaining my balance, I found it somewhat amusing.
Over the past year, it had been Tyler constantly stealing my y achievements and scheming to pin blame on me. Now suddenly he was humble and responsible, while I was childish and arrogant.
Knowing that talking further would be a waste of breath, I couldn’t be bothered to say anything more. I turned around, preparing to c
“Wait a moment Rosalie suddenly stopped me.
I thought she was going to scold me again and defend Tyler, but to my surprise, she pulled me aside.
She spoke earnestly.
“Felix, I admit my attitude towards you today was indeed too harsh.”
“But it’s because I have high expectations for you, that’s why I’m so strict with you.”
Hearing her gentle words, I was still a bit confused.
However, I soon understood her intentions.
Rosalie smiled lightly at me and patted my
nd my shoulder.
“Til withdraw your resignation letter. Just come to work as usual, but find a time to apologize to Tyler in front of everyone.”
“Also, you’re fully responsible for this rear–end collision. Fil deduct the compensation from your salary later.”
I realized what was happening
let out a sneer and looked up at Tyler.
He had probably already known what Rosalie was going to say. His face was full of smugness as he winked at me provocatively.
I sneered again.
“No need”
“As for who’s responsible for the rear–end collision, we can check the surveillance footage. If that’s not enough, you can call the police:
“I have things to do, I’m leaving now!”
With that, I left directly.

Rosalie was fuming behind me: “Tve already given you a chance, don’t regret it
Regret?
I won’t regret it.
I got back in my car and sent a message to my friend.
“I’ve resigned. I can start working at your company tomorrow.”
My friend called back in less than half a second, his tone excited: “Are you serious?”
He sounded a bit unsure: “Do you want to discuss it with Rosalie again?”
My friend and Rosalie had started their businesses around the same time.
Compared to Rosalie who started from scratch, my friend had more resources and could offer more attractive benefits.
My friend was in desperate need of excellent technical talent, so he promised me higher shares and profits to get me to help them out. He even made an exception and offered to let me work part–time after learning about my relationship with Rosalie.
salle’s sake, I had refused without hesitation.
When I was at my lowest point, lying in the snow almost freezing to death, it was Rosalie who dragged me into a police station and saved my
I was very grateful to her, so I gave up everything and devoted myself wholeheartedly to the business, doing everything I could to hr Rosalie’s company grow step by step.
But now it seemed that she didn’t care at all.
Moreover, after so many years, I had more than repaid her kindness.
I didn’t need to keep compromising myself anymore.
“No need, I can make my own decisions” I replied.
After chatting with my friend for a bit more and confirming the time to sign the contract, I drove home first to get the documents needed for
signing.
I thought Rosalie wouldn’t be back until late at night as usual.
But to my surprise, she walked into the living room not long after, talking happily on the phone with Tyler.
Seeing me, her face immediately darkened. She deliberately rolled her eyes at me before pushing open the bedroom door.
I knew she was waiting for me to coax her.
Every time we had an unpleasant encounter at the company, I would always find ways to apologize to her and beg for her forgiveness.
Even when she was the one at fault, I would still have to swallow my pride and admit I was wrong.
Before, I thought I should do this, whether it was to repay her kindness or to maintain our relationship, I should pamper her.
But now I just found it boring.
I focused on looking for things in the drawer.
After a while, she came out of the room with a gloomy face.
“Has Tyler’s car been fixed? Have you fixed your car?” she asked.
I knew this was her signal of giving me a chance to make i

In the past, I would have thought she had forgiven me and would have rushed to please her.
But now, I didn’t even look up as I replied indifferently, “It’s just an old car, not worth fixing
Rosalie frowned. “What do you mean by that?”
I looked up at her in confusion, not understanding what she was unsatisfied with now
This car had been scratched many times before. When I said I wanted to fix it, she would say the same thing I just said.
I thought she was going to get angry again, but to my surprise, she let out a sigh.
“Tyler has indeed been doing

lately, so I gave him a car to keep him motivated.”
“You’re my boyfriend, and when we get married, won’t the company be yours too? Why do you have to be so calculative about salary with him?”
“Felix, everything I do is for the company I don’t want other colleagues to think I’m favoring you.
Realizing she was actually trying to explain to me, I was a bit surprised.

buknew clearly that these were just excuses.
In the company,
mpany, all the
colleagues knew how Rosalie treated me and Tyler differently.
Projects that I had worked on for three days straight, she would suddenly hand over to Tyler on a whim. He would just make a Power- presentation, and it would become Tyler’s achievement.
Clients that I had negotiated with for days and were about to sign contracts, she would take Tyler to have one meal with them under my name,
and the contracts would become Tyler’s accomplishment.
There were countless such incidents.
Over time, other colleagues only felt that Rosalie favored Tyler more..
Some even thought Rosalie didn’t like me, and because of this, I endured quite a bit of side–eye and bullying in the company. She saw it but pretended not to notice..
I didn’t want to explain. Anyway, even if I did, she would say I was making excuses.
“Oh, I responded indifferently. “You don’t need to tell me these things. I have nothing to do with the company anymore. Do whatever you think
is best”
Rosalie didn’t say anything.
