Chapter 51
Director Colle didn’t continue on this topic, but Susan understood everything
She let out a bitter laugh. It seemed that the public opinion was spreading far more quickly than she imagined
Indeed. After all, it was Ben Landor, the master of this huge business empire, who was the other main character of the scandal.
Ben was usually a workaholic. He was always busy like a person without private life at all. But now suddenly a scandalous news of him showed up, and how could people not pay attention to it?
Ben… must understand this as well, right?
In order to force her to leave, he had really planned everything well.
But, he actually didn’t have to do that.
With only some words from him, she would definitely follow his order and stay away from him.
“Director, please accept me resignation.” Susan Jowered her head.
Although she liked the working environment here, it was impossible for her to stay any longer due to current situation.

She had already made up her mind.
Although Director Colle felt it was quite a pity, he couldn’t convince Susan, so he just had to agree.
“Thank you, director.” Susan put down her resignation letter and turned around to walk out of the office.
She went to Human Resources Department again and finished the final procedures, so she could officially resign.
None of the colleagues in the Programming Department were gossip type. They knew that Susan was about to leave, and no one was mocking her. On the contrary, they all felt regret for her.
But as she walked all the way to the Human Resources Department, she began to

hear some whispers. –
“Who’s this Susan? It’s clear that Mr. Landor’s married. How dare she still hook up with him? No matter how strong her working ability is, I don’t like her.”
“That’s right. It’s such a disgrace to our fellow women.”
“She should just work harder, but not to take shortcuts for success. It’s really insulting to put her on a par with those three seniors.”
The crowd looked at Susan with mockery and disdain. Their words were like a pin needle, and burrowed into her cars.
Susan pressed her lips together and pretended not to hear anything.
She walked steadily all the way to the door of the Human Resources Department’s
office.
When she was about to enter…
Suddenly.
“Susan, wait!” A clear voice rang out.
Jaron ran all the way here.
“Jaron?” Susan looked at him in surprise. “What are you doing here?”
Jaron ran so fast that he took several breaths in a row before barely calming down.
He then asked nervously, “Susan, Director Colle told me that you’re going to resign. Really?”
Susan nodded.
Jaron then became furious, “Just because of that damn Mr. Landor?”
Susan was shocked.
What? Damn Mr. Landor?
Was Jaron crazy?
“Am I wrong?” Jaron didn’t stop but became even more furious. He turned around and pointed at those people who joined the gossips, “They all say that you let

yourself become a mistress for money! But in fact, it was all Mr. Landor’s problem, but you didn’t even respond to it at all! They should just blame Mr. Landor, but not you!”
After Jaron finished speaking, he looked at those people in the office with his bright eyes.
His gaze was oppressive, and the crowd didn’t dare to look back at him.
“Look, it’s just a bunch of stupid bullies,” said Jaron angrily.
“Jaron, you…” Susan was about to stop Jaron when she suddenly saw the person behind him. And soon her eyes were filled with shock.
It was Ben!
Ben suddenly came, unexpectedly!
He was just standing right behind Jaron at this point, and his face brushed with
rage.
“Am I wrong? These people…” Jaron still could not stop his cursing.
“Mr. Landor!” Susan hurriedly shouted at the back of Jaron.
Mr. Landor?
Jaron’s expression stiffened for a moment, then he turned around and saw Ben’s hideous face.
Ben looked at him with a poker face, “Why don’t you continue?”
Seeing that, Jaron gritted his teeth and decided to go ahead regardless.
“I’m just about to keep going! Mr. Landor, as a husband, you are unfaithful to your wife; as a boss, you’re now causing great distress to your employees. Now, the company is going to lose an excellent
employee just because of your selfishness. You actually don’t deserve to hold this position of the Storm Group!”
Susan was so panicked when she heard this.
And she didn’t even dare to look at Ben.
For Ben, he should have never been rebuked in person like this in his life,
MMMM
shouldn’t he?
Everyone else in the office lowered their heads as well.
“Such a warrior! Jaron is so brave!” Those people thought about this.
Well, they would better lower their sense of existence. Hopefully they will not be affected by Mr. Landor’s rage later.
“M…. Mr. Landor. That’s not what he means,” stammered Susan.
“No, Susan, that’s exactly what I mean.” Jaron said without hesitation, and looked at Ben steadily, “Susan is very kind and she deserves a normal relationship with a man. So Mr. Landor, you should behave yourself! You’re already married!”
Susan scratched her hair out of anxiety. Was Jaron the one going nuts or was she actually the one going nuts? She had no clue.
“Behave myself?” Ben’s voice was cold.
“Of course! You are not qualified to chase Susan at all,” said Jaron fearlessly.
Ben laughed angrily at him, “Well, if I’m not qualified, who is qualified?”
Who was qualified?
Jaron was stunned for a moment, and he seemed to have made some determination.
Suddenly, he turned to look at Susan and said, “Susan, I’ll go with you. I’ll follow you everywhere.”
“Why?” Susan was a little flustered.
A hint of tenderness flashed across Jaron’s eyes as he said earnestly, “Because I wanna chase you!”
He spit it out!
On the contrary, Jaron felt a sense of relief. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
He finally spit it out.
He had had a good impression of Susan from the beginning.

But Susan was so extraordinary that he could only hide his thoughts.
Later, Ben suddenly started to send flowers to Susan.
Jaron caught everything that was bothering Susan.
He felt it unworthy of Susan, and was also angry with Ben for not behaving like a gentleman.
However, there was nothing he could do but to get furious.
Today, Susan was about to resign.
A strong impulse drove him to this place.
At that moment, he didn’t want to think much about anything more.
With the greatest courage in his life, he dashed to Susan.
He wanted to tell her.
He had a crush on her!
Even if everyone misunderstood her, he was still willing to stay with her.
Jaron felt that he was as fearless as a warrior.
But Susan was dumbfounded.
She… she was confessed by a man?
Then, Susan glanced at Ben subconsciously.
Ben’s face was as horrible as that of Satan.
Susan suddenly got panicked.
The matter between her and Ben was not made public yet.
But she was still Ben’s wife after all.
Even if Ben didn’t have a crush on her, he surely didn’t want to get cuckolded.
“Sorry!” replied Susan quickly, “I can’t accept it.”
“Why?” Jaron looked like he was devastated.
With all his courage alone, he didn’t expect to get such a bad ending.
“I’m married.” Susan quickly replied to him.
