Chapter 71

What Sophie meant was that good looks wouldn’t help Eleanor marry into a wealthy family, she’d also

need a strong background or a good education.

Sophie, a perfect combo of beauty and brains, sure knew how to humiliate people without using any

profanity but still hitting them which it really hurt.

Eleanor squeezed her hand, glancing coldly at her, “Ms. Ratliff, whether I want to marry a rich man or

not, it has nothing to do with my resignation. Even if you’re the CEO, you can’t control my personal life,

right?”

Sophie never expected Eleanor to make a sarcastic comment about her meddling. Her face

immediately darkened, “Of course, I’m just kindly reminding you. If you give up this great job

opportunity and take a risk of your own, you won’t get a second change in VitaLife Global if you regret it

later.”

Seeing that Sophie was giving in, Eleanor didn’t push it further. In her mind, once Sophie approved her

resignation, she’d quickly find Rosita for the work handover and leave. But to her surprise, Sophie

suddenly said, “I’ll definitely allow you to resign, but not at the moment.”

Eleanor frowned, confused, “What are you trying to say?”

Sophie sighed, somewhat helplessly. “You know that VitaLife Global’s branch office in B City isn’t doing

well, and the Clowers. Group is dominating B City. If VitaLife Global wants to grow, they need the

Clowers Group’s help, but they never lend a hand to us. Now that you’re involved with Mr. Clowers, I

hope you’ll stay. With you here, the Clowers Group should give us at least some help.”

Basically, Sophie wouldn’t let her resign because Eleanor still had some value to the company.

So that was the reason behind.

Unfortunately, Sophie got it wrong. With Eleanor around, Jason would be even less inclined to offer

help.

She didn’t want to argue with Sophie anymore; she was too tired and couldn’t hold up physically.

Staring at Sophie, Eleanor said coldly, “Since you don’t want me to quit, I will have to choose another

way.. You can keep my payment and bonus from last month, I’ll take that as my automatic resignation.”

She insisted on following the regular resignation process because it was VitaLife Global that took a

chance on her when she was fresh out of college and desperate.

At that time, the 150,000 dollars she had sold herself for was only enough to save Garett’s life but not

enough for his follow–up treatments.

That was when the Clowers family hadn’t found Garett yet, and the treatment expenses were all

covered by Hailey and her part–time jobs.

But the money wasn’t enough, so she tried to find high–paying jobs but had no luck until VitaLife Global

took her in.

VitaLife Global not only offered her a stable job but also lent her some money, which helped her in a

critical moment.

So, she had been working here for five years, never once considered leaving for any other company

that wanted to hire her. But now that VitaLife Global had a new CEO who wouldn’t even approve her

resignation, she saw there was no need to stay any longer.

Eleanor removed her name tag and placed it on Sophie’s desk, then left without looking back.

Sophie watched her walk away, her eyes gradually turning cold, “I remember that you signed another

agreement when you borrowed money from VitaLife Global. It clearly stated that you must obtain the

CEO’s consent to resign. Otherwise, you’d have to pay VitaLife Global six times the breach of contract

penalty.”

Eleanor froze in her tracks.

She almost forgot that when she borrowed money, VilaLife Global made her sign such an agreement to

prevent her from running away. She was in desperate need of money then and didn’t think much before

signing the contract, but now it became a shackle tying her down.
