In the end, Jia Lin was left with no option but to come out with the truth. It was exactly as they had guessed. To somehow kick Guiying out of her job and replace the position with her nephew.
"Please forgive me," Jia Lin bowed, clenching her fists. "I…couldn't help before my cousin's request."
Guiying lowered her gaze in silence. She thought she made good friends and would lead a good office life with her colleagues. She especially didn't want Jia Lin to be the perpetrator who had welcomed her so warmly.
But it turned out that the warmth was simply a facade behind her cold calculations. Even though much time hadn't passed since they met, the disappointment still crushed her heart.
