The assistant beside him called out cautiously, "President Gu."
Gu Wenze slowly raised his head. The instant his gaze fell on Jian Xiling, his eyes turned terrifyingly cold. "Take her away. Doesn't she love drugging people? She's done with her current job. Send her to work at a nightclub from now on."
Jian Xiling went deathly pale and let out a broken, trembling scream. "No! President Gu, please let me go! I'll never do it again!"
The assistant soon dragged her out of the office, her heart-wrenching pleas echoing down the corridor.
Gu Wenze slumped back heavily in his chair, almost snapping the pen in his hand.
Qiao Hua had explained countless times that she had nothing to do with it, but he had never believed her.
He could have uncovered the truth if he had only bothered to investigate properly.
Ultimately, he hadn't trusted Qiao Hua. That was why he hadn't even bothered to investigate before deciding she was the culprit.
At the thought of how he had wrongly accused Qiao Hua of drugging him all these years, and even mistakenly believed she had bullied Jiang Nan, Gu Wenze felt as though a pair of large hands had clenched around his heart.
Qiao Hua must have been terribly disappointed in me, right?

Yet at some point, Qiao Hua had stopped doing that altogether.
Gu Wenze returned to his bedroom
