Chapter 142 

Evangeline was puzzled to see Giselle here

After mulling it over, she called the HR manager

The HR manager explained that Theo had interviewed and selected Giselle for the position

Evangeline frowned, her voice steely. Anyone joining UME needs approval from their direct supervisor. Are you not aware of this policy?” 

Sensing her irritation, the HR manager chuckled awkwardly. Well, Director Shaw was adamant at the time, and you weren’t around. I didn’t really have a choice. But honestly, Giselle is quite capable. Why not let her intern for a bit and see how it goes?” 

Evangeline knew Giselle had always had impressive grades at school

But she also knew that, with the way Winston and Hazel doted on their daughter, Giselle was all but guaranteed a place in the Whitmore family business right after graduation

So what was Giselle doing here, of all places

She could kick her out, of course. But since Theo had brought Giselle in, that would mean going headtohead with him. Right now, the last thing she needed was internal conflict

After weighing her options, Evangeline relented

This time, I’ll let it go. But if it happens againif you’break protocol one more timejust hand in your resignation and leave.” 

She ended the call abruptly

On the other end, the HR manager smiled and agreed politely, but as soon as the call disconnected, he rolled his eyes at his phone and mimicked Evangeline’s stern words in a mocking tone

Trying to scare me?” 

*For all she knows, she might be the one packing up soon.” 

He snorted, glancing at the clock

There was just over a week left before Evangeline’s deadline with Theo. If she failed, she’d be the one shown the door

Chapter 142 

With that in mind, the HR manager didn’t take her threats to heart. If this happened again, he’d side with Theo all over again

Meanwhile, in the café, Lily and Giselle were deep in conversation

At first, their talk was cautious and polite. But once Lily mentioned Evangeline’s situation with Glenn, Giselle’s temper flared. She’s already marriedwhy is she still clinging to Glenn?” 

Lily’s eyes lit up. You know about Evangeline’s marriage?” 

Of course. She practically forced her way into it. That wedding should never have been hersshe stole someone else’s fiancé.” 

The memory of Evangeline marrying Soren still stung Giselle

She’d had her bridal dress ordered and everything. But the night before the wedding, she’d gotten blackout drunk at her bachelorette party and ended up locked away somewhere. She never made it home, and with the Fawkes family impatiently waiting, the Whitmores had panicked. They couldn’t admit what happened, nor could they let word get out, so they had Evangeline take her place in the bridal suite

The plan was to switch back once Giselle returned, but no one expected Evangeline would go through with the wedding in her stead

The more Giselle dwelled on it, the angrier she became

She stabbed at her food, chewing furiously

Lily’s eyes darted, curiosity piqued. So, is her husband really awful to her?” 

Giselle snorted. Awful doesn’t even begin to cover it. He humiliates her every chance he gets.” 

With that, Giselle couldn’t help herself. She told Lily a few of the more embarrassing storiesthough she left out the part about Evangeline’s husband being Soren

Listening to Giselle’s tales only confirmed what Lily had already suspected

Suppressing a smug smile, Lily asked, Did you know she’s been hitting on other women’s husbands? One of their wives even confronted her.” 

Giselle’s eyes widened in shock

Seeing her interest, Lily embellished the story of what happened yesterday, adding extra details for good measure

Chapter 142 

By the end, Giselle was fuming

Evangeline was really shameless now. Having Soren wasn’t enoughshe was still after Glenn, and now chasing after someone else’s husband

At this rate, Evangeline would drag the Whitmore family’s reputation through the 

mud

Giselle made up her mind to tell her parents everything as soon as she got home

Later that afternoon, Evangeline handed the proposal and the finished robot over to Theo

He was momentarily surprised, but after a moment’s thought, he just scoffed inwardly and continued with his work, barely glancing at the report she’d 

submitted
