Chapter 2766
Was it really just the bossâ distaste for Ahab's character that got him the boot, or was there
someone pulling strings behind the scenes?
Regina had a feeling that it was the latter.
"Hey, Uncle, it's me, Ahab!â Ahab's voice oozed with an unctuous charm as soon as the call
connected. His colleagues, who witnessed this display, could barely conceal their
disdain.
âI'm calling about my job situation... Yeah, what's with the sudden talk of firing me? Is there some
kind of mistake? Uncle, I thought you had a word with them...
What? Are you kidding me right now? Ah, okay.. I get it.â
Ahabâs voice trailed off to a whisper. His slumped posture and downcast eyes spoke volumes about
the conversation he was having with his uncle.
The boss was feeling triumphant. For years, he'd been under the thumb of Ahab's influential uncle,
unable to get rid of this dead weight from his department. Now, finally, he had the chance to vent
his frustrations.
âSo, what did your uncle say? Did he tell you to pack up and leave New Blossom Press? Let me lay it
out for you-not even a hundred of your uncles could save you now. You better watch your back
from here on out. And honestly, your writing? It's not cut out for journalism-paparazzi is more your
style.
"You!"
Ahab spat out a curse, âYou got lucky.â
"And what of it? Still better than being a lowlife like you. Get out of the door, and don't let it hit you
on the way out. You're a walking contagion.
Ahab's fists clenched, his whole body trembling with rage. He couldn't fathom why things. had
taken such a sudden downturn, why his usually reliable uncle was now sternly advising him to get
lost from New Blossom Press and to stop all communications for a
while.
Without his uncle's influence, how on earth could he secure another job?
His gaze then turned venomously towards Regina. It had to be her doing; she was the subject of
that damning article.
She must have gotten some sugar daddy to ruin him, leaving him jobless!
Though he didn't dare lay a hand on the boss, Regina was just a woman, and Ahab, unencumbered
by hesitation, charged at her.
Just as he reached out to grab her, Regina sidestepped with a swift move.

Chapter 2766
"Ahab, what the hell do you think you're doing!â The boss slammed his fist on the desk, âQuick, hold
him back, don't let him harass Regina!â
The other male colleagues snapped to attention, each grabbing an arm, and Ahab was instantly
immobilized.
âLet me go, it's all because of this woman! You whore, if it wasn't for you, I would never be fired!
What, canât people say you're a whore? It's the truth! I just voiced the ugly truth of
what I saw.
Heh, you guys think this woman's as innocent as she looks? She's slept with who knows. how many
men; even a drunkard could have his way with her! Hahaha!
Do you think she got her scoops through sheer will? No, she used her body! Such filth, and you still
want her as a colleague? Why don't you fire her along with me? Hahaha!"
Ahab was like a madman, determined to take someone down with him, even in hist downfall. But his
words were disjointed, and besides, Regina's first big scoop was an interview with Dahlia, a woman.
How could Regina have used her body to secure that interview?
