NovelEnglishChapter 123 Bree's words tookby surprise.
But I continued, "Bree, I've resigned and already applied elsewhere. In fact, I'm having an interview today." "What? So soon?" Her astonishment was evident.
"Bree; the truth is, ever since the day Chris and I didn't get the marriage. certificate, I've been planning to leave," I confessed while maintaining eye contact with her.
My gaze was steady, devoid of any hint of regret.

"So, even if Chris didn't agree with my decision to resign, I intended to move on after wrapping up the amusement park project," I explained frankly.
Bree shook her head. "Maddie, you don't have to do this. If you feel awkward or uneasy, you could transfer to the subsidiary or another department and keep your distance from him." "Bree, I appreciate your concern aboutfacing difficulties elsewhere, but I feel it's tforto explore other opportunities," I asserted firmly.
Bree's eyes were once again brimmed with tears. She shook her head and said, "Why did it have to end like this? "If you can't be my daughter-in-law, that's one thing, but now, you won't even stay with the company. Maddie, are you planning to leave us completely?" Her distress weighed heavily on me. After all, we had developed a bond over the past decade that couldn't be easily dismissed.
"Bree, I promise I'll visit you and Zack often," I reassured her.
Upon hearing this, Bree wiped away her tears and asked, "Maddie, tell me. Did you already have a new boyfriend? "Did you make this decision because you're worried he might have reservations about your past with Chris?" Chapter 122 I couldn't help but laugh at her assumption. Brandon and I were just friends, yet everyone seemed to think otherwise.
"Bree, I'm not currently dating anyone. And even if I were, he doesn't have the right to dictate my life. You're overthinking it," I clarified. "Then, promiseyou won't leave the company, Maddie," Bree urged.
She paused briefly before continuing, "At the very least, keepinformed of where to reach you. A simple phone call when I want to see you." Her reluctance mirrored that of a mother who was hesitant to let go of her daughter.
"Even if I leave the company, I'll still be working locally, Bree. I won't be too far away. You can callanytyou miss me," I replied. Bree fell silent for a moment.
Thinking we'd covered everything, I was about to end the conversation when she continued, "Maddie, there's something I want to say, but I fear it might upset you." Her words made my heart skip a beat. It seemed she was about to broach a sensitive or unwelctopic.

She seemed surprised by my directness. She hesitated briefly, then smiled. But I have to say it, Maddie. It concerns your happiness." As expected of the chairman's wife, she had a subtle way of approaching sensitive matters.
I smiled faintly. "Go ahead, then."
"Maddie, Zack plans to let Conrad grow independently by establishing a company for him. Would you m consider helping him? Bree's words were subtle, but I understood her implication. This wasn't merely about assisting Conrad. She was attempting to setup with Conrad after things didn't work out with Chris. Her demeanor remindedof the old saying, "Charity begins at home".
Chapter 123
As the daughter that they've raised, I should marry the eldest, even if not the second son. She preferred that I didn't marry anyone else.
"Bree." I met her gaze directly. "If I were to date Conrad in the future how do you think Chris would react? And how would the two brothers get along?" Bree's lips moved, and she finally said, "But I can't bear to see you leave, Maddie. I truly can't bear to see you leave hor my side." "In that case, I'd rather be your goddaughter," I stated firmly.
