Chapter 773 Leia Slit Her Wrist
Mavis narrowed her eyes and red at Nina.
Her well-manicured hands rapped her desk. "What did you see?"
Mavis''s tone was unlike her usual coldness. It was stern and close to savage, which made Nina
shudder uncontrobly.
She tried to maintain herposure and tried her best to speak calmly. "I didn''t see anything, Ms.
Laviere. Right, I''m here to ask you about my transfer. I''d like to remain in A City and not transfer to
Snowdon District because my father has ill health, and it''ll be easier for me to take care of him if I
remain here. Can you reconsider your decision?"
Mavis leaned back on her chair elegantly, rested her chin on her hand, and chuckled coldly. "The
company has arranged the transfer, and it''s not good if you want to change it. Also, Ms. Langdon, if
every employee starts giving excuses like you, would thepany prosper? It''s natural that every
employee wants to stay in the big city. Who would be the ones to explore thepany''s frontiers then?
I respect my employees, but you should respect the decisions made by higher management."
Mavis sounded as though she was prioritizing the benefits of thepany.
There was a hint of cold viciousness in her eyes.

Nina felt a little dejected. "Is there no room for negotiation, Ms. Laviere?"
Ever since Bianca left T Corporation, Mavis had singled out Nina as her bullying target because she
knew that Nina and Bianca were good friends. Not only did she assign more work to Ninapared to
other colleagues, but she also blocked any chances of Nina getting promoted.
Nina knew that Mavis had never liked her and wanted to transfer her away, but she did not expect
Mavis to send her to the remote northwest region hundreds of miles away.
She could not ept that.
"Of course, if you insist on staying, you can always try to plead to Bianca. I know that you''re good
friends with her," Mavis said mockingly, "I know she takes good care of you, and she''ll beg Mr.
Crawford on your behalf, maybe in bed. You''ll get to stay in thepany that way."
Nina could feel the blood rushing into her head. "What are you saying, Ms. Laviere? I might be good
friends with Bianca, but I know how to keep my personal and professional life separate. If thepany
insists on transferring me to Snowdon District and no one else fits the job, then I''ll have to respect the
company''s decision. I won''t bother you anymore."
She turned around and strode out of the office without giving Mavis another look.
As she turned around, her gaze turned from helplessness to contempt.
If their CEO was still single, Mavis had all the right to win his affection.
However, Mr. Crawford was currently in a blissful marriage with children. Nina could not look up to
someone with that character!
In the worst-case scenario, she would resign from T Corporation and join Bianca''spany.
As Mavis watched Nina leave, her repressed annoyance red up again.
Mavis had disliked Nina because of her rtionship with Bianca. Now that Nina had discovered her
little secret, she would not allow Nina to stay in thepany.
After staying in the drug rehab center for almost two months, Jack and Queenie finally removed Leia
from that hellish ce.
It was not because she was clean, but rather because she tried to kill herself...
Leia broke a vase and cut her left wrist deeply. The flesh was exposed, and the bone could be seen. If
the nurse had not found her in time and sent her to the hospital, she might have already died.
Queenie cried miserably in the hospital ward. She could not understand why her daughter would do
something stupid.
Leia leaned onto her mother''s chest, feeling her mother''s warmth and listening to her cry. However, her
heart was not warmed at all. She thought that Queenie was faking it.
Before they left her at the drug rehab center, Queenie was crying and hugging her the same way,
saying that they would pick her up when she became clean in two days and that they would love her
just like before.
However, she attributed all her suffering to her adoptive parents.
Did she hate them?
She had to admit that she resented her adoptive mother, but she knew that Queenie genuinely loved
her before Bianca came into the picture. Queenie would give her the best in everything.
Queenie did not skimp on Leia''s food, clothes, and essories, and she hired the best tutors for her
daughter. When Leia grew up and wanted to enter the entertainment industry, Queenie was the only
one who stood behind her decision and allowed her to be an actress.
Queenie was the one who had transformed her from a lowly and unwanted orphan to the morous
and enviable Ms. Norman. However, all that changed after Bianca returned.
Bianca was the birth daughter of Jack and Queenie Norman. They felt guilty that they had neglected
Bianca for so many years, and they shifted their care and affection from Leia to her. In a short time,
Bianca had reced Leia’s position in the family.
Despite living in the Norman household for more than a decade, Leia became a much inferior daughter
compared to Bianca.
Leia made no sound as shey on Queenie''sp and listened to her cry sorrowfully. However, her tears
did not stop flowing.
Queenie noticed that something was amiss. She held her daughter''s hand and touched her face. "Why
did you do something stupid, my child? Please don''t do that again. My heart can''t take it."
Leia narrowed her gaze and pretended that she was out of breath from crying. "I don''t want to stay in
the drug rehab center anymore, Mom. I''m scared of the dark, and I always feel that there''s a ghost
that''s haunting me every night. Everyone there bullies me, but none of you believe me. You always
think that I''m lying..." "I can''t take it anymore. I''m afraid that I''ll go crazy if I stay there for another
second. I miss you and Dad, but you rarelye and visit me. Don''t you know how agonizing it is to
think that no one loves me? I was an orphan, and if you and Dad abandon me, I might as well die!"
After Leia said that, Queenie hugged her tightly and burst into tears.
That was the scene that Bianca witnessed when she arrived at the hospital ward...
