My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back

Chapter 35

Of course, Kimberly knew that, just as dealing with a snake required hitting its weak spot, dealing with

Whitney required hitting her fatal weakness.

Whitney had always been an arrogant person. Since she was a child, she had been sheltered by others

and had rarely suffered any blows.

Kimberly was well aware that Whitney had also studied jewelry design, but she wasn’t very good at it.

In fact, she was incompetent.

Because of her privileged upbringing, Whitney had always been pampered by William, with plenty of

pocket money to spend every month. She had never truly experienced. the hardships of life.

Until then, she hadn’t worked a full day of real work.

She lived carefree, and her overseas study program was essentially a disguised vacation.

It was said that her graduation projects were completed by ghostwriters.

Whitney could not calm down to think after being provoked by Kimberly.

At that moment, she made a pledge. “Very well, Kimberly. Remember, if my work gains. recognition

once more, I can choose any position I want.”

She said it quite ruthlessly, and with her seductive makeup and s exy attire, she had a bit of the

ruthless allure of a femme fatale.

Kimberly was unwilling to be outdone. She couldn’t afford to lose her confidence. Her authoritative

presence had to be on display. Otherwise, Whitney might think she was a pushover.

It was an incredibly thrilling moment that deserved to be accompanied by applause.

The supervisor was not disappointed. Kimberly clapped in response and said, “It’s a deal. I look

forward to your performance.”

William received a message from his confidant that Whitney had brazenly entered the CEO’s

conference room and was summoned to the CEO’s office.

He thought, ‘Whitney’s impulsive nature comes from her mother. She doesn’t inherit my nonchalance at

all.

As soon as he heard the news, he panicked and rushed to Kimberly’s office. He had to get that

troublesome Whitney out of there before it was too late.

He believed Kimberly would still save face for him.

But the office was surprisingly harmonious and quiet when William arrived.

He scratched his half-bald head. His chubby body, much like William Howard Taft, moved slowly.

At first, he pretended to blame Whitney fiercely. “You little girl, don’t be cheeky. This is a company, not

a place for sibling play. Your lack of manners is improper and has a bad impact!”

He quickly apologized to Kimberly after saying that. “Kimberly, she’s too arrogant. She doesn’t mean

any harm. Please be the bigger person and forgive her this time.”

Kimberly wasn’t stu pid. She said inwardly, ‘Arguing with her would only lower my own

status.

‘And I look forward to seeing what kind of work Whitney is going to produce.

I’m tired of watching her throw tantrums and act annoying.

Kimberly was eager to see how Whitney could turn things around, as she desperately. needed a

change of pace.

William happened to be a good witness to prevent Whitney from backing out of the bet.

Kimberly hurriedly smoothed things over. After all, William was her elder. Although she didn’t like him,

she couldn’t forget the necessary social courtesy.

“Uncle William, you don’t have to say that. Whitney is young and energetic, and it’s partly my fault. I

was supposed to wait for her in the office to discuss her work arrangements, but then I had to call an

emergency meeting, and this unpleasant incident happened.

“But now it’s all settled. Before you arrived, I had a good talk with Whitney. She proposed to create a

satisfactory piece for the ‘LOVE’ distribution right competition in exchange for the opportunity to choose

her own position.”

Kimberly said as she watched the change in William’s expression.

“Uncle William, you can be the witness.”

William was really at a loss when it came to Whitney. He knew her ability. She had jeopardized her own

position by seeking momentary pleasure, and it would likely lead to a bad outcome.

Now that Kimberly had said so, William couldn’t refuse, and he agreed with a wry.

smile.

Then he led Whitney away.

William felt it was similar to when Whitney had struggled with her studies when she was a child. He had

been called to school by her teacher for a discussion and had ended up bringing her home in

embarrassment.

He no longer protected her after causing such big trouble. William then took Whitney to his office and

scolded her.

“You! You’re not cut out to be a designer. How dare you brag so loudly? How will you deal with the

consequences?”

It was often said that daughters were like warmth from a past life, like a close-fitting coat, but now he

felt that Whitney could, at best, be considered a leaky leather jacket.

In Whitney’s memory, William rarely lost his temper, even when she had gotten into trouble at school

before. She was about to cry when she felt the change, and a surge of pent-up grievances welled up

within her. She burst into tears like a volcanic eruption. and sobbed uncontrollably.

William’s heart softened for a moment as he saw her crying. He regretted if he had been too harsh with

his words.

He hurried over to comfort her. “All right, all right, don’t cry. We’ll figure out the design later. Where

there’s a will, there’s a way.”

However, Whitney did not respond to the comfort. In fact, her crying got worse when she saw William

blaming himself.

Whitney’s crying in the office could not be contained, even though his office was luxuriously decorated

and well-soundproofed.

People outside turned their heads to the sound, and for the first time, everyone could see what her

temper was really like.

The gossip group was buzzing with excitement, flooded with so many messages that some thought

someone was deliberately spamming the chat.

[The difference between a real heiress and a fake one is quite significant.]

[How can the genes of the same family be so different?]

[Well, our CEO’s ability to oversee the situation is really top-notch.]

Everyone was very unanimous in their support of Kimberly. At the same time, they sighed that the

company would not be peaceful with the presence of a drama queen.

While everyone was idling away on WhatsApp, there was one girl in the design Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

department who stood out from the crowd.

Her name was Genevieve Scott, and she had an extremely gentle appearance, the typical well-

behaved girl. She was a newcomer to the company.

It was said that she was quite talented and had been recruited out of the ordinary recruitment process.

As soon as she arrived at work, she would quietly work on her design drafts at her office table. Except

for necessary work-related interactions, she generally avoided getting involved in that kind of gossip.

She was a person with dreams. She had worked for several small companies after graduating from

university. Later, her unique concept proposed during an earlier online submission event by Larson

Corporation caught the attention of the director of the design department. She had been hired on an

exceptional basis after consulting with Kimberly.

She valued what she had and strived to create better designs and contribute more to the company.

She also wanted to challenge herself, especially since she knew the company was competing for the

exclusive distribution right of “LOVE”.
