Just wanted to quickly shut everything out.
Britney, who hadn’t rested well for days, couldn’t sleep that night.
I tossed and turned for a long time and just couldn’t fall asleep.
It was past eleven at night, Rhonda sent her a message.
I sent Britney the WhatsApp contacts of seven or eight lawyers.
Some were found through connections, some were internet–famous lawyers.
In short, she did everything she could to help Britney.
Anyway, since she couldn’t sleep, Britney just chatted with these lawyers.
At first, everyone talked like they really meant it, but once they heard it was about going to court with Royarch Capital’s legal team, nobody said anything anymore.
Things were way trickier than Britney thought.
Back then, she really did sign that agreement on her own.
Just this alone was enough to make her lose the case.
The lawsuit route was bound to not work.
If the other side decided to drag things out with her for three or five years on purpose, then her career would be completely over.

So, she could only start with Rodrick.
That meant she still had to deal with Rodrick.
This discovery made Britney really annoyed.
She had only herself to blame. She was blinded by love back then.
It was all karma!
Rhonda asked her, “So what do we do now?”
Britney made up her mind, “I just had to swallow my pride and put up with it!”
Rhonda really saw Britney in a new light now!
“Bree, you finally woke up! That’s great!”
Yeah, luckily it wasn’t too late.
It was just one person waking up, and one percent was because someone else reminded them.
The other ninety–nine percent depended on a thousand cuts.

The next day, Britney went to the company early.
Rodrick came with Bianca, and when he saw Britney sitting quietly at her desk, he felt relieved.
Looks like her weird behavior before really was her being upset with
- me.
He just gave a simple explanation last night, and she came back
obediently.

Rodrick was really happy that Britney knew how to act appropriately.
After I went into the office with Bianca, I pressed the intercom and asked Britney to bring in two cups of coffee.
Britney did everything as told.
“Rod, could you help me check if there was anything else to change in the PPT?”
“Didn’t I help you check it last night?”
“I changed it again.” Bianca’s voice was soft and sweet.
Britney was pretty curious, how did she even make that kind of sound?
Rodrick was pretty patient helping her with the PPT. Britney put the documents that needed to be signed on Rodrick’s desk, “Mr. Livingston, these documents need your signature.”
“Just leave it there.” Rodrick didn’t even look up, focused on helping Bianca fix the PPT.
Britney quietly left the office. After she sent the meeting agenda she’d written to Katheryn, she left Royarch Capital.
Of course, she didn’t forget to remind Katheryn, if Mr. Livingston asked, just say she went to organize the celebration party.
Every time a subsidiary of Royarch Capital went public, they always threw a pretty big celebration party.
In the past, it was always Britney who did the organizing, and this time was no different.
So nobody doubted what she said, including Rodrick.

She got to the hospital at nine thirty, and first went to the ward to see Lila.
The situation was still the same, not getting any better.
Lila glanced back twice behind her without thinking when she came in.
And because he saw that only she came, he couldn’t hide the disappointment in his eyes.
