Fayeâs heart gave a violent jerk, since she couldnât believe what she was hearing from Lysander.
In the past, whenever she messed up, Lysander always cut her some slack because sheâd been a soldi er by his side for years, He never talked to her like this before.
But now, he was throwing these harsh words at her for Thalassa?
Fayeâs pride got a harsh reality check.
She was hurt and pissed, but Lysander was angry, and she was terrified of him. âMr. Sinclair, she pleaded, âI me ssed up. Give me another shotâ¦â
âDavid, take her away, turn her over to the cops. She embezzled five million bucks and betrayed the co mpany, spilled business secrets. Those charges should be handled together. Make sure she gets what she deserves.â
Lysander didnât even glance at Faye, just ordered David coldly.
Back when Faye had thrown Thalassa under the bus in front of him, claiming that Thalassa stole the Si nclair groupâs designs, he warned. her that it was her last chance.
But Faye didnât change her ways, she doubled down, not only bullying Thalassa but also deceiving him.
She was challenging his authority!
âYes, Mr. Sinclair.â David saluted and called two bodyguards over to approach Faye.
Hearing Lysanderâs final words, Faye, who had managed to keep her cool, began to panic.
She crawled towards Lysander, crying and begging. âMr. Sinclair, please, for the years Iâve worked by y our side, for my loyalty, give me a break..â
She didnât want to go to jail. She was still young, with many good years left. Her future was bright.
If she got locked up for three to five years, or even more given Lysanderâs insistence on strict punishme nt, sheâd suffer a lot in prison.
She might get bullied by men, beaten up, or even go hungry⦠all sorts of miserable experiences could happen.
The thought made Fayeâs scalp tingle with fear, and her heart was in a flurry.
She crawled to Lysanderâs feet, ready to grab his pant leg, but he kicked Her hand away.
Lysander had always thought Faye was upright and honest, but she turned out to be the opposite.
She was manipulative, scheming behind his back, framing Thalassa, and even daring to deceive him.
Lysander kicked Faye back several steps, her knees sliding several meters on the ground.
Lysanderâs gaze was icy as he coldly said, âDonât insult the word âloyalty. Take her away!â
The bodyguards immediately stepped forward, hoisted Faye up and dragged her out of the room.
Faye struggled against the bodyguardsâ grip, saying frantically. âI can walk myself!â
Her ribs ached from Lysanderâs kick.
Enduring the pain, her eyes filled with tears, she gave Lysander one last look of sadness, anger, and d efiance, then turned and walked out as if sheâd made up her mind.
Sheâd been by Lysanderâs side for ten years, silently in love with him for a decade, and she thought he would treat her differently because of it.
But to her surprise, he was still fair and impartial towards her, showing no mercy!
Even to avoid her touch, he didnât hesitate to kick her away.
At that moment, Faye felt heartbroken, lost, anxious, and jealous. She couldnât believe it, but she had t o face the reality.
She, the heiress of the Brennan group, gave up her privileged life to follow Lysander into the army, to b e his secretary, silently accompanying him for ten years, but still couldnât win his heart. In the end, she lost to a country girl named Thalassa, and it was a complete mess!
