NovelEnglishEffie paused, glancing around the room before she spoke. "The sgoes for all of you—if you ever feel
unhappy working here, or if you have any concerns, just say so. I'd rather you leave than have everyone
miserable and stressed out. No point in making yourselves sick over it."
"We wouldn't dream of it. We all love working with you, Miss Bagnold," one of the team replied, and the others
quickly chimed in their agreement.
Effie knew better than to take their words at face value. Who could say how much truth there was in those
reassurances? But since no one was willing to be honest, she decided to play along and pretend she believed
them.
The moment Marian left The Etheridge Group, she pulled out her phone and called Suzan. "Miss Bagnold, | just
handed Effie my resignation. Is there a spot open forat your firm?"
Suzan was clearly taken aback. "Marian, did they kick you out because they found out about us? If that's the
case, you do realize what we've done is illegal, don't you? Bringing you on board now could ruin my company's
reputation.”
Truth be told, Suzan had only ever intended to use Marian as a pawn. She'd never seriously considered bringing
her into E&M.
Marian didn't miss a beat. "That's right, what we did is illegal-which is why I've saved all our chat logs. If you
think you can just tossaside now, I'll go to the authorities. I'm not going down alone, Suzan. If | fall, you're

Suzan was furious, but for the moment, there was nothing she could do.
"Fine. If you want to cover, then come," she snapped.
Marian grinned, brimming with confidence. She was certain that, given her talent, she'd shine anywhere even if
The Etheridge Group no longer wanted her.
Later, when Effie and her team were at Elliott's Cozy Room entertaining a client, they happened to run into
Suzan and Marian.
The moment Marian spotted Effie, she tilted her chin high, looking down her nose as if the whole world owed her
something.
"I warned you, Effie. You'll regret this," Marian said, her voice dripping with smugness.
Effie just smiled, the corners of her lips curling up ever so slightly.
"Marian, do you really think your little schemes were flawless? Joining Suzan's firm now is only digging your own
grave. Believe me, you'll figure it out soon enough."
Marian scoffed, clearly not buying a word of it "You're just jealous, that's all. Sour grapes, Effie. Admit it you
regret lettinggo! Well, too bad. I'll help E&M crush your company."
Suzan laughed quietly beside her.
