Chapter 96 A Lawsuit Notification
“Of course, no need to mention it,” Maya replied.
After hanging up the phone, Ellis faced the curious gaze of her waiter.
Finished
With her payment failing multiple times, it was no wonder the waiter was keeping a close eye on her!
She awkwardly ran her fingers through her long hair and rescanned the QR code for payment, switching to a different bank card this time, which successfully processed the payment.
“Thankfully, Easton hadn’t gone as far as to freeze her bank accounts, allowing her to leave the cafe.
However, a few days later, she received a lawsuit notification from the court.
The document was clear, with her personal details in black and white. There was no comforting herself that she wasn’t being sued, and Ellis was so furious she threw the lawsuit papers on the floor.
What was supposed to be a pleasant weekend turned into an apocalyptic mess.
She called Maya, “The lawsuit papers came; what do I do?”
“Take a picture and send it to me; I’ll see if you need to write a defense statement. Maya had anticipated. that Morgan wouldn’t drag his feet and would sue Ellis as soon as possible.
“Okay.”
After doing as Maya instruqed, Ellis lay on her bed like a spineless creature, staring blankly at the ceiling, filled with regret. Could time rewind? I wish I could go back to before I met that scumbag
On Monday, trying to shake off the weekend’s bad vibes, Ellis went to work as usual.
Unexpectedly, just as she sat down at her desk, Lois called her on the internal line.
Entering Lois’s office, she asked professionally, “Madam Lois, you wanted to see me; what do you need?”
Lois got straight to the point. “Mr. Easton’s influence is beyond my imagination. His assistant contacted me again, and if I don’t fire you, Mr. Easton will continue to apply pressure.”
Ellis pursed her red lips. “What kind of pressure is Mr. Easton applying?
“Business pressure,” Lois admitted frankly.
The Hudson Group was a behemoth involved in countless sectors, and Tate Group was no match. She hadn’t expected Easton to be so ruthless towards his almost ex–fiancée–initially just verbal pressure from Easton’s assistant, but now it was coming from the business world.
Ellis didn’t know what to say, visibly agitated.
“Sorry, I have no intention and no ability to oppose Mr. Easton, Lois said apologetically. “I’ll have the finance department compensate you with three months‘ salary.”
With that said, it was clear to Ellis that Lois couldn’t withstand Easton’s pressure.
“I found out something. Hudson Group is suing you.” Lois had heard from the legal department last moge that her company was also being sued. “Since you were working for me when you got oued, let me koo you need compensation.”
Ellis clenched her teeth and was stunned.
After leaving Lois’s office, she went through the resignation process and handed over her work. Having bee there for only a short time, there wasn’t much to hand over, and soon, she had wrapped up with her colleagues and confirmed with HR how much her severance and compensation would total.
A job paying 140,000 dollars a year was gone just like that, thanks to that scumbag She didn’t hate him so the bone, but her life was now shrouded in darkness because of him.
What have I done wrong to make him so determined to ruin me? Maybe, in his eyes, falling for him was my first mistake Well, if he isn’t going to let me off easy, he’s not going to have it easy either! Driven by anger, Ellis took Hudson Group.
