Chapter 3 

The next day, Melanie planned to go to the company to submit her resignation application. 

In the past, after Jordan graduated, he said he wanted to start a business, but no one believed in him. So he 

asked Melanie for help. 

He promised Melanie that he would definitely compensate her well when he achieved success. At that time, with his firm assurance, Melanie gave up a high-paying job with an annual salary of three hundred thousand. 

Jordan started her business without any startup capital, so she helped him raise funds everywhere. 

No one gave Jordan projects, so she helped him pull pro 

everywhere. 

She accompanied Jordan from rags to riches, but until now, she is still his assistant earning a monthly 

salary of eight thousand. 

Once, she liked Jordan, so she was willing to be just an assistant with a monthly salary of 8,000. Now that 

she has decided to give up Jordan and marry someone else, she no longer needs to be an assistant with a 

monthly salary of 8,000. 

Melanie arrived at the CEO’s office and printed out her resignation letter before going to find Jordan to sign it. 

Before signing, Jordan may have felt that his attitude towards Melanie in their conversation yesterday was too harsh. Suddenly, he threw a small gift box towards Melanie and said, “Here, it’s a few days before your 

birthday, a gift in advance.” 

Taking the gift box handed to her by Jordan, Melanie opened it. 

Inside, a golden necklace was found. If it had been in the past, Melanie would have been ecstatic, but now 

her heart is calm. 

Because she knew, the necklace was a blue diamond bonus purchased by Jordan for fifty million. 

In his eyes, he only deserved to wear free gifts. 

Just like a dog, it would be very happy with a piece of bone. 

Jordan thought that Melanie would be so happy that she couldn’t speak, but to his surprise, there was no 

emotion on Melanie’s face. 

Jordan frowned at Melanie’s strange changes in the past few days. Just as he was about to speak, Melanie 

handed him her resignation agreement. 

“There was a document that needed your signature.” 

Perhaps trusting Melanie too much, Jordan signed his own name in the document without even looking at it, 

thinking it was some important contract. 

Just as Melanie was about to leave with the agreement in her hand, Jordan felt something was off and 

couldn’t help but ask Melanie, “What did you just sign for me?” 

Melanie casually waved her hand, not wanting to explain to him, “It’s nothing, just some ordinary protocols.” 

“Oh, by the way, these days I took a leave and didn’t come to the company.” 

After all, she had resigned and no longer needed to come to the company. 

“Okay.” Jordan nodded without hesitation. He didn’t want Melanie to frequently come across his official fiancée, who he kept at the company, and cause any trouble. 

Immediately, Jordan thought of something and instructed, “After you finish your vacation, remember to come back quickly. The company has a bunch of major projects waiting for you to help me negotiate…” 

Melanie made a soft sound of agreement. 

What Jordan didn’t know was that, with this resignation, she would never return to the company again. 

After being his assistant for so many years, she had long been exhausted… 

Turned around and left. 

I walked to the front desk and happened to run into Jordan’s future wife and the company’s receptionist, 

Danica. 

Danica was surrounded by a group of colleagues. 

She was holding up her fair right hand, proudly saying, “This is the ring my fiancé bought at the auction, it 

cost a whopping fifty million, isn’t it beautiful?” 

“You must have never seen such expensive jewelry before. Now you have the chance, so why not come and 

feast your eyes?” 

The engagement ring was indeed beautiful and eye-catching, but Danica was just a receptionist who served 

as a mere decoration in the company. 

She also had a very ordinary background. 

Where could there be any opportunity to come into contact with a millionaire and possess such a valuable 

ring? 

The crowd showed expressions of doubt one after another. 

“Is this not fake?” 

“Yeah, 50 million, don’t deceive me, Danica.” 

Upon hearing these words, Danica’s face turned bright red, and she stiffened her neck, saying, “It wasn’t fake! Don’t spread rumors.” 

Unable to bear the suspicious gazes from everyone, Danica seemed to have an idea and quickly pulled out the property deed from her bag and slammed it on the table. 

“In addition to this fifty million dollar diamond ring, my fiancé also bought me a house in Sunshine Heights. Don’t believe me? Go see for yourselves!” 

Colleagues gathered around and curiously flipped through the property certificate. 

Chapter 3.

When they discovered that it was indeed a house in Sunshine Heights, everyone, including Danica, expressed 

envy with their eyes. 

“Oh, Danica, you really married into a wealthy family!” 

“Which wealthy family did you marry into? To be able to afford such an expensive house in Sunshine Heights, just like Mr. Tye.” 

The crowd curiously asked.
