When they came out of the hospital, Britney was about to call a car. She spotted a familiar figure up ahead and immediately stopped, saying to Lila. “Mom. I want to go to the bathroom.”
“Then I waited for you here.”
“You come with me.” Britney insisted on dragging her along.
Lila was helpless too, “You’re already this old and still scared to go to the bathroom alone?”
“Yeah, so you had to keep me company.”
Lila could only wait for her at the bathroom door.
Britney stayed in the bathroom a bit longer, figured those two annoying people had already left, and only then did she slowly come out of the bathroom.
“Is your stomach upset?” Lila cared about Britney right away.
“A little bit, I ate something bad last night.” Britney just made up an
excuse.
“Anyway, just went to the hospital and saw a doctor.”
“It’s fine now, let’s go, the car’s here.”
Britney kept telling Lila It’s fine, and only then did Lila relax and walk out with her.
“By the way, I think I just saw Rod,” Lila said casually.

Britney was startled.
Lila said again, “But I wasn’t sure, maybe I saw it wrong.”
Britney felt relieved again, “I must have seen it wrong! He was on a business trip and wasn’t in Riverton.”
“That’s good.” Lila felt relieved when she heard her say that.
After all, she just saw someone like Rodrick, with a young woman by his side.
The two of them looked pretty close.
It should’ve been that she saw it wrong.

On Monday, Britney had just arrived at Royarch Capital when she ran into Edward.
This guy was really bored and just had to come watch her show.
It’s just a pity, but he had to be disappointed.
“Britney, you didn’t expect me to come, did you?” Edward almost mocked Britney out of habit.
Britney couldn’t be bothered with him and just went straight to her desk.
Edward followed closely and said, “You’ve been thinking all weekend about how to stay at Røyarch Capital, haven’t you?”
Britney gave him a cold look.
Edward just looked so sure of himself, “Did I hit the nail on the head? Are you mad now? Let me tell you, Britney, today you’re leaving

whether you want to or not. Anyway, I’ll be watching you the whole time.”
After saying that, he pointed at his own eyes with two fingers, then pointed at Britney, “I’m watching you!”
The first thing Britney did when she turned on her computer was print her resignation letter.
Although she had already handed in quite a few before, she couldn’t guarantee that Rodrick still kept them.
To be absolutely sure, she just printed another copy.
“Edward, why did you come?”
Bianca and Rodrick came together.
Edward looked like he had discovered a new continent and asked the
two of them in surprise, “So early in the morning, you two came
together, could it be what I’m thinking?”
After saying that, he didn’t forget to deliberately look at Britney, wanting to see how she would react.
However, there was no response from Britney.
She was just thinking, since Rodrick was already living with Bianca, why did that night feel like they hadn’t done it in a long time.
Impatient and hungry and thirsty.
It had been two days, but she still felt sore in her back and weak in her legs.
After Britney hit the print button, she finally got up and walked to the printer.
