Chapter 565


    Malcolm felt frustrated and wronged. “How was I supposed to know he would get so mad over a


    designer?”


    “You didn’t know? But you have no problem ndering someone as you please?”


    Johan was so enraged that he kicked him again.


    Malcolm gritted his teeth through the pain and asked, “Dad, please don’t scold me right now. What


    should I do?”


    Johan took a deep breath and closed his eyes.


    “What else can you do? Go beg for his forgiveness!”


    Rosalynn retreated to her workstation, distancing herself from the man.


    She inhaled deeply before exhaling slowly.


    “Rosalynn, you’re back? Did you close the deal?” Maggie inquired, her smile warm.


    “Forget it. It fell through.”


    After regaining herposure, Rosalynn filled Maggie in on the events that had transpired at the club.


    Maggie’s surprise was evident. “So it was a setup? Why would they do that? Do you think Eleanor was


    behind it?”


    “Even if she wasn’t directly involved, she undoubtedly had a hand in it.”


    They were Eleanor’s allies after all. She might have intended to use others to make things go her way.


    “How ruthless of her. Why would Mr. Hughes be attracted to such a woman?”


    Maggie shared Rosalynn’s distaste for Eleanor.


    Rosalynn, already in low spirits, had no desire to further discuss the matter.


    “Work’s over for the day. Would you like to grab dinner with me?”

    Maggie declined, “No, but thanks for the offer. I have a shift at Atera Restaurant.”


    At this, Rosalynn was taken aback. “You’re working part-time again?”


    “Yes.”


    With a smile, Maggie began to gather her belongings, ready to clock out.
