Mandy frowned, and red coldly at Elodie.


    "What? You''ve never seen a prettydy before?"

    Elodie pridefully waved the contract in her hand.


    "This is a contract worth fifteen million dors! It belongs to the Foster family!


    "For thepany right now, this thing is life-saving!


    "Are you sure the board of directions won''t kick you out tomorrow after knowing that this exists? Surely they aren''t


    stupid, right?"


    Elodie showed a threatening expression, and strutted out of the office.


    "You get one more day, Mandy!


    "There''ll be a different person in that seat of yours tomorrow!"


    The door was mmed shut.


    Mandy''s eyes twitched. Her beautiful face was filled with nothing but sorrow.


    She stood; after a long time, she let out a soundless sigh.


    She was exhausted.


    After stumbling out of the office, she took a deep breath to regain her calm.


    Ten minutester, in front of thepany''s entrance.....


    Harvey was just about to walk in when Mandy came out, looking pale.


    "You''re getting off this early? Are you done being a workaholic?"


    Harvey showed an odd expression, and approached her in worry.


    "Did something happen?"


    Mandy froze; when she finally recognized Harvey''s face, she forced out a smile.


    "It''s you...


    "It''s nothing. I''ve been dealing with thepany for a while.


    It''s been quite a headache...


    "I''m a little tired today. I need some rest..."


    Harvey smiled.


    "It''s not just that, is it?


    "Is someone forcing you out of your position?


    "I heard that Elodie has a fifteen-million-dor contract.


    "That contract''s crucial for thepany right now, isn''t it?"


    Mandy chuckled bitterly.


    "That''s right. You''re not to me, though; don''t put this to heart.


    "Even without the Foster family, Elodie has other ways to force me out.


    "She came with her mother because of this."


    Naturally, Mandy didn''t want Harvey to think that this all happened because of him provoking Brayan. "Another


    thing. Elodie would probably rece me tomorrow "Head of the ninth branch. Heh, heh..." Mandy chuckled


    helplessly. She knew exactly how much she was worth in the Jean family, after all.


    Harvey frowned, and put away the contract. This was probably a chance for Mandy to break free from the Jean


    family and build a family of her own.


    Harvey chuckled.


    "Think of it this way! You can just throw away all this mess to whoever wants to clean it up!


    "With your strength, you should be able to establish apany and build a legacy of your own!"


    However, Mandy''s eyes showed only despair.


    "You don''t get it, Harvey.


    "Even if I break free from the Jean family to rebuild....


    "In their eyes, my aplishments are theirs to own!


    "They''ll find a way to leech off of me!


    "I can at least fight against the Jean family as the head of the ninth branch.


    "But without the identity, there''ll be dire consequences..
