Return Of The Prodigy
Return of the Prodigy Chapter 84

Fired!

As expected!

Katie felt a bitter taste in her heart. She knew that the Hartleys would not give up easily and would use this incident to make a fuss. What happened in the morning was eagerly exploited by them by the evening.

Ironically, they didn't care about the truth at all. They just wanted to drive her out without knowing what the real situation was!

As long as she didn't leave for a day, they wouldn't let her go for a day.

Katie wanted to cry, but her heart had long died!

Again and again, and this time...

She didn't want to endure it anymore!

Katie turned around slowly. Although her expression showed pain, her attitude was resolute. She said, "Is that all? Let me say it one more time. This project was assigned to me by Mr. Byron. If you want to snatch it or fire me, please contact Mr. Byron." "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

With these words, Katie walked towards the exit with determined steps.

Terry was momentarily stunned.

All the relatives and friends of the Hartleys were stunned!

The next moment...

"Stop her!" Terry roared.

The security guards of the Hartleys immediately rushed to block the entrance of the villa.

Katie was forced to stop.

Terry angrily said, "What do you mean? What kind of attitude is this? Are you rebelling because you think Mr. Byron is supporting you? Do you think I'm afraid of you just because Mr. Byron is backing you up?"

"As for the affairs of Hartleys Group, it's not his place to intervene. I have the final say in the company!"

"When I say you're fired, who dares to object?"

The relatives and friends of the Hartleys immediately chimed in, "That's right, what's wrong with firing you? Look at yourself, do you even know what kind of person you are?"

"You've ruined the reputation of Hartleys Group, and you even rejected your own cousin. If we let such a heartless wolf stay in Hartleys Group, who will dare to cooperate with us in the future?"

"Firing you is still too light; we should kick you out of the Hartleys, tear up your family tree, to prevent you from dragging down the Hartleys!"

The insults and curses were relentless, and Katie had become a criminal in the eyes of everyone in the Hartleys, unforgivable for ten evils.

It seemed like everyone was doing it for the good of the Hartleys, and she, Katie, had become the stumbling block!

When Peter kidnapped her, even wanted to kill her, where were they?

Why didn't they say Peter was the criminal? Why didn't they say he brought shame to the Hartleys, causing trouble for the Hartleys?

Katie bit her lip in pain, enduring the inner grievance and anger. She repeatedly told herself to stay calm and strong. If they wanted to curse at her a bit more, so be it.

But then, Terry spoke again, "There's one more thing to inform you. Due to your extremely malicious behavior, from today onwards, you are expelled from the Hartleys!" Expelled!

As expected!

Katie felt a bitter smile in her heart. She knew that the Hartleys wouldn't let her go easily, seizing this incident to make a scene.

She had endured for so long, struggled for so long, and in the end, she still walked to this point!

So be it!

Perhaps it was really time to leave.

She was tired!

She no longer wanted to live this kind of life. She could leave with Adam and Annie, away from this heartless "home" in Lisle City! Katie's delicate body trembled. She opened her mouth and slowly uttered a word, "Okay."

Tears finally streamed down her face.

Terry was once again stunned.

Matilda was also extremely shocked.

Did she mishear just now? Did Katie actually agree to leave the Hartleys?

She really agreed?!

It shouldn't be like this. Based on Katie's personality, she should have persisted. Why did she suddenly agree?

People indeed had a "vulgar" nature.

Before, Matilda had thought so much, even dreamed of making Katie's family leave. Now that Katie agreed, she couldn't believe it!

"What did you say? Say it again. I didn't hear clearly!" Matilda shouted.

Katie, enduring the pain, said word by word, "I... agree to leave the Hartleys."

"Now, can we go?"

"No!" Matilda blurted out.

She couldn't just let Katie leave like this. She hadn't humiliated Katie yet, she hadn't tasted the pleasure of revenge! How could she let Katie off so easily?

Moreover, Daniel had prepared a backup plan.

Daniel had mentioned a "continuous drama" today. If Katie left, how would the drama unfold?

Matilda's thoughts turned quickly. She gritted her teeth and said, "Katie! What else do you want?"

"I have agreed to your conditions. You can take whatever you want!"

"I'm tired, enough. I don't want to fight for anything. I just want to live a peaceful life. Is that okay?"

Katie shouted in despair. She had already compromised, yielded. Why wouldn't the people of the Hartleys let her go?

Did they want her to crash into the hall and die before they were satisfied?

Matilda said with resentment, "No, my brother has been arrested and thrown into prison. Do you think you can live a good life? Dream on. Today, I will avenge my brother. I will break your limbs and make you crawl out of the Hartleys!" Katie stared at Matilda with disbelief, "You... You're spouting nonsense. You're making baseless accusations."

"Peter being arrested and thrown into prison is his own wrongdoing. What does it have to do with me?" Katie retorted.

Matilda screamed, "Shut up!"

"If it weren't for you, would my brother have committed a crime? All of this is your fault!" Matilda accused.

Katie looked shocked.

Suddenly, applause echoed in the hall. Adam, who hadn't spoken all along, finally spoke.

"Hartleys members really have a unique way of reasoning. If you walk into a wall and die, do you blame the wall for not having eyes? If you snatch someone's fiancé and become the third party, do you blame the other person for lacking charm?" "Hehe, it's laughable! How can there be shameless people like you in the world?"

Matilda's expression changed, and she angrily retorted, "Adam, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Adam's aura suddenly burst forth, his voice ice-cold, "You scolded her, made a scene, and didn't leave her any way out!"

"You wanted to expel her, tear up her family tree. You said she harmed the reputation of the Hartleys Group, disgraced the Hartleys!"

"Fine, now I'll let you see what the truth is. Who is the real idiot who disgraced the Hartleys!"

"Are you ready to be slapped in the face?"
