This reason immediately silenced everyone.
Who would dare question the assistant appointed by the president?
After the meeting, Ulric stood up and left, with Cedric following him into the president’s private elevator.
Once the doors closed, Cedric began to report, “The HR department has already notified Miss Ruell to take up her position.”
“Okay.” Ulric remained calm. “She will likely request to resign.”
Ulric had long understood Rosalind’s thoughts thoroughly.
“Yes, but with the contract in place, Miss Ruell wouldn’t dare to resign easily.”
As Cedric finished speaking, the elevator doors opened.
Ulric stepped out with his long strides, then paused and slightly turned his face towards Cedric. “Do you think what I’m doing is a bit despicable?”
For so many years, although Ulric held a high position, he had never abused his power or forced anyone. Even when he wanted Rosalind to work at W Group’s headquarters, he had sent Cedric to follow her and train her in advance rather than parachuting her in directly.
This was the first time Ulric had ignored someone else’s wishes so blatantly.
Cedric didn’t think it was a big deal. He smiled, “Mr. Walters, why do you think you’ve earned so much money and hold so much power?”
Ulric raised an eyebrow, signaling him to continue.
“Isn’t it so you can do what you want and keep the people you want to keep?”
“Hmm… makes sense.”
“Hehe!”
Ulric felt some psychological pressure and self-conflict because it was his first time doing something ungentlemanly.
Cedric adapted very well because he believed that this was how a president should act.
Who cares if the forcibly picked fruit is sweet or not? As long as it’s picked, it’s mine!

Rosalind going to work at W Group made Malcolm unusually firm and resolute.
“Rosalind, you can’t go!”
“I don’t want to either, but I have a contract! It’s in black and white; how can I afford to pay?” Rosalind was extremely unwilling to get involved with W Group again.
It was already complicated enough inside, and now with Jake’s incident happening, she wanted to avoid Ulric as much as possible. Why would she willingly charge forward?
“I have money. How much do you need to pay?”
Rosalind glanced at him helplessly. “With Ulric forcing me like this, I’d have to pay at least several billion.”
“… How could it be so much? This is an unfair clause! I’ll get a lawyer to help you sue.”
“Forget it; we can’t fight against someone so powerful.” Rosalind had come to terms with this reality.
She had thought about struggling and even considered going all out.
But reality isn’t fair for everyone. The reality is that as long as Ulric is determined to have her, she can’t escape.
Malcolm paced back and forth in front of Rosalind, clenching and unclenching his fists.
“Malcolm, don’t worry anymore. Since he wants me to go, I’ll go! I’ll just be more careful and avoid him as much as possible. I won’t have any more dealings with Ulric.”
“Why don’t you understand?” Malcolm frowned deeply, full of worry. “I’m not afraid of you getting back together with Ulric! I’m afraid that once you appear again, Ulric’s parents and that Sirena will see you as a thorn in their side!”
Their methods were always without moral restraint, just like… just like how they directly killed Eva!
