Not Your Doormat Anymore novel Chapter 83

"If they're back for work tomorrow, then it should be treated as taking a leave and not resigning!" Nadine replied bluntly.

She held her head high and said, "Oh, and don't forget about the compensation you mentioned earlier for the months we haven't been paid. If you don't, we have every right to sue you."

"Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like this?" Casey snapped, her pride wounded.

"I only work here. I'm not a slave sold to you." Nadine stood her ground, and for a moment, Casey couldn't refute her.

I felt relieved knowing these people could handle things on their own.

"When the doctors return tomorrow, they can proceed with the usual medications for the patient. I'll be taking my leave," I told the hospital staff.

"Goodbye, Dr. Ranford," Nadine replied.

"What do you want?" I shot her an icy stare.

"What's so bad about being with me? The Newton family no longer relies on your family's support. Not only are we capable of acquiring hospitals and expanding our network, but we can also build a new company.

"Once you marry me, the Newton family will belong to you. Aren't you at least a little tempted?" She looked at me anxiously.

I recalled hearing something about the Newton family receiving an investment from overseas, which had saved them from their fate of going bankrupt.
