Resignation Letter

[Chapter 69]

The group left the private room after finishing their meal, and they were taken to the chairman's office by the waiter.

"My dear brother-in-law! Where's my sister?" Asked Sam.

"Don't! Don't call me your brother-in-law! I told you, Miss Pearl and I are just colleagues! We've never stepped out of line, and I'm still a university student! How could I be your brother-in-law?" Replied David.

The group looked at each other. Something did not feel right. It was not a problem earlier, but now they could not call him this,

"Well… Mr. Lidell, where's my sister?" Sam asked again.

"Your sister has left. You should go home after finishing your meal!" Answered David.

"She left? We'll go find her!"

"When I said she left, I don't mean she left the hotel, but River City. Here's Miss Pearl's resignation letter. Take a look yourself!"

David handed Sam a sheet of paper after saying that.

Did she resign?

The group was shocked. Something did not seem right!

Sam took it and saw that it was indeed a resignation letter from Pearl.

"Mr. Lidell, why did my sister resign?"

"How do I put this? Miss Pearl thinks you'll keep bothering her if she works here. She can't meet your requirements, so she has no choice but to leave," replied David.

"Where did my sister go?"

"I don't know. I think she went to find her university roommate!"

Leigh quickly took out her cell phone and called Pearl.

"Sorry! The number you're calling is unavailable! Sorry…".

'No.'

'Oh no!

Leigh plopped down on the ground.

"Hmph! Did you gang up with that wrench to fool us? I'm telling you. We're not leaving unless she comes out!" Billy said to David with a face full of fury.

"Sir! Don't lose your temper here! I didn't force your daughter to leave. You're the one who did that. What does it have to do with me? It will be your fault if you throw a tantrum here!"

"I don't care! I'm staying here unless she comes out. I get to enjoy good food and good drinks anyway." Billy remained unmoved.

"Sir, I treated you to the best food in the hotel for her sake when Miss Pearl was still here. This meal cost millions of dollars. But I don't need to be polite to you anymore now that she's gone. I'm going to report to the police if you throw a tantrum here. Don't blame me for ruining your reputation if you got locked up for some time!" David said slowly.

Sure enough, they were scared as soon as David said that.

After all, David was a big shot in their eyes.

"Don't bluff me! I'm telling you. I've lived a long time. Nothing scares me," said Billy.

Although he said so, his shaky voice betrayed the unease in his heart.

"Sir, how could I bluff you? I know a little about Miss Pearl's situation. She's also your child, but why do you treat her so differently? If you had paid any attention to Miss Pearl, she wouldn't have left today. Miss Pearl cried her eyes when she left. She said she has repaid you for raising her when she left. She doesn't want to see you again. You'll probably never find her again."

Billy felt a surge of fury fill his chest and almost fainted when he heard what David said. Leigh quickly stepped forward to support Billy.

Sam also felt a buzz in his head.

The bright future he imagined was gone.
