Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1726

With that, Raeleigh scanned the crowd and added, "I know it is not easy for you to achieve even a little success; I have been there too."

"But if you want to succeed in this industry, you have to make a statement."

"Although I had brought a huge fortune to Richards Group, I did not take a single cent with me when I left. Even my achievements were left with the company."

"This is the rule of this field. I had violated the rule first. There's no reason for the company to make an exception for an employee who disobeyed the rules."

"If I had stayed in Richards Group, I would have received much better benefits than most people."

"And if I stayed until the end of my contract, my achievements would've belonged solely to me."

"By that time, I could even start my company using my name."

"However, I didn't do that. I insisted on leaving, and for that, I had to pay the price."

The crowd was floored at Raeleigh's statement. "Our president is the Raeleigh Anson?"

"That's me." "But aren't you Osteen?"

Raeleigh did not answer but looked over at Cindy's disdainful face instead and said, "You are not allowed to take anything with you if you leave. You haven't contributed anything to the company, so you must compensate us before leaving."

"I took pains to negotiate with Mr. Richards back then, begging him to let me off the hook. It was only then that things didn't turn ugly and that he wouldn't sue me in court. However, I had to let go of a lot too."

"Since you have nothing to lose, you can only compensate us."

"But you already promised that you would not sue me at the restaurant," Cindy defended, unconvinced.

Raeleigh said, "I don't remember promising you anything, but based on my understanding of Mr. Richards, he would never allow others to jump ship when he has just taken over Bloom Aksea Group. His way of doing things would be to punish the person as a warning to others. Otherwise, if he let you off the hook just like that, the company would be in chaos as everyone would have quit their positions without consequences."

"But you promised me."

"Really? Tell me then, how did I promise you?"

Raeleigh asked indifferently.

Cindy thought for a moment and said, "You and Mr. Richards were about to have dinner when I begged you two. Mr. Richards refused to let this slide and insisted that I must compensate the company. However, you suddenly stood up for me, saying that I can walk away without spending jail time or compensating the company."

"And then?"

"And then, Mr. Richards said to do as you said, and I thanked you two."

Fixing her gaze at Cindy, Raeleigh twisted the truth, "I don't remember any of that. I only remember you ogling at Mr. Richards the whole time, thanking him non- stop before you leave. Your disdain for me that day is still fresh in my mind, but no matter how hard I try to recall, I just don't remember promising you anything."

"You... How can you lie like that?"

"Since you choose to twist the truth, I can forget everything too. Do you actually expect me to treat you with respect when you come to make a scene in front of my company?"

Raeleigh took her time speaking, and the crowd had a good idea that Miss Anson only went back on her words when Cindy was being sinister.

Everyone agreed Cindy had crossed the line. If she dared to seduce Miss Anson's fiance in front of her, she would probably do worse when she was not around.

They were on Miss Anson's side, thinking the ruckus-causing, shameless woman should be put in jail.

"How dare you do this, Raeleigh Osteen. It must be because you're jealous that I'm younger and prettier than you, and you're afraid Mr. Richards would fall for me, so you want to destroy me."
