Taking Turns in Love Chapter 30
Veronica had moved swiftly and decisively. Firstly, she had Victor arrested and beaten up. Victor had ended up confessing to everything with tears streaming down his face. Despite his greed, he hadn't gone to the lengths of switching out all the textbooks for counterfeit copies, so the cleanup hadn't been too tedious. At first, she had thought about getting rid of Victor completely. However, not wanting to alert the others, she had asked Victor to take time off and lie low for the time being instead of taking action on him right away.Ultimately, she didn't want Corbyn to get in trouble when he had just taken up the role, so she had no choice but to suppress the issue.Corbyn was filled with mixed emotions. He gazed into Veronica's eyes, his lips trembling slightly. His usual arrogance and rebelliousness was nowhere to be found.Veronica hated seeing Corbyn like this. She quickly closed her eyes and waved a hand. "Get out."In a daze, Corbyn left the office. He felt as though t

In the Bloomberg Group, Veronica only went to work when she wanted to. Nonetheless, she still drew a high salary and received lucrative bonuses. Not only that, she held significant power in the company.Most regular employees thought that she only got these benefits because she was the daughter of the chairman. However, Vlad wasn't a moron. How could he feel at ease if he entrusted his good-for-nothing, self-indulgent daughter to ruin the business?Veronica was very capable, just that her strengths were not for the office. She may look debauched on the surface, but in reality, she was very resourceful. She was adept at making valuable connections and gathering important information. Not only that, but she was also decisive and competent.Just like when the Bloomberg Group had been reported for using counterfeit teaching materials, she had put out the tiny spark before it managed to turn into a raging inferno.However, regular employees wouldn't know that this was all thanks to

Hearing Amanda say those words, Vlad's anger subsided slightly. With a smile, he said, "In that case, I should be at greater fault because I'm older."Amanda laughed. "I didn't say that."Vlad let out an easy chuckle.Just like that, the situation blew over.For helping mediate the situation, Corbyn offered to treat Amanda to a meal in lieu of thanks. Amanda agreed, so the two of them went to a restaurant. They ended up heading to The Pond, the place Corbyn and Dean had gone to last time.Corbyn had mixed feelings for Amanda. Amanda was his cousin, so they shared a close blood relation, and they'd known each other since they were children. However, they just never got close. Even so, when it came to people like Amanda, even if he wasn't close to her, it was also very hard to hate her. Amanda was always very courteous, kind, and smart. She was the kind of kid that other parents would compare their own children to, except Veronica was never the type of parent to compare her son

"My boyfriend is in Merunica," Corbyn said."Oh, that's really far," Amanda said. "Do you like him a lot?"Corbyn's chest tightened. "Yes." After a moment of silence, Amanda said, "The company is preparing to launch a project in Merunica. Do you want to try taking that up?"Corbyn's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes widened. "What project?""I'll send you the details later," Amanda replied. "Have a look."Amanda spoke in a slow and gentle cadence, but she was very swift and decisive in her actions. After she got back, she immediately sent the information over to Corbyn.Corbyn learned that the Bloomberg Group was trying to gain the rights to become an exam center for the Abraham Examinations. This negotiations was already nearly complete, and they were basically already in the final stages of the application. Now, the Bloomberg Group just needed to send a representative to Merunica to finalize some details and sign the contract with the Abraham Exam Board for the deal to be

News that Corbyn was planning to go to Merunica quickly reached Paxton and Pearl. Paxton asked him, "Are you going to Merunica to redeem your mistake or are you going for Dean?"Corbyn shrugged helplessly. He couldn't answer either.To him, Dean was like a drug he was addicted to. A while back, when he broke the clay mug, he had been quite disheartened. He couldn't help but feel like it was a bad omen. He wanted to stop himself from overthinking it, so he didn't contact Dean for a long time.And when he stopped reaching out to Dean, Dean didn't contact him either.The two of them gave each other the cold shoulder over the Sappic Ocean—oh, wait, that wasn't true. Corbyn shook his head wryly. Dean most likely hadn't noticed that something was off.The cold shoulder wasn't mutual at all.Between him and Dean, he was the only one doing it.Even during the honeymoon phase, it was like he had been the only one infatuated.Like a glass of water, it was always Corbyn who was hot and co

Corbyn had laughed and asked, "Do you really think that someone would scheme against me?""I don't know," Pearl had replied. "All I know is that 'if you fail to plan, then you plan to fail'."Despite her youthful appearance, she always spoke in a very mature manner, spouting proverbs all the time.And it would be proven that Pearl would be correct. Her prediction had come true.Corbyn and Pearl brought the drafted agreement to the Abraham Exam Board but were bluntly refused from entering at the door. Surprised, Corbyn tried to find out what was wrong, but the other party remained aloof and didn't answer.Pearl immediately gave Paxton a call. Paxton was a human resources expert, so he was very well-informed. However, due to the time difference, they had to wait for nearly half a day before Paxton found the root cause. "The Autumnverst Education Group told the Abraham Exam Board about the counterfeit textbooks incident. The Abraham Exam Board are very unhappy with us and said they

Amanda chuckled softly and said, "Sure. In that case, I'll have to make a trip to Merunica. Since you've been working so hard lately, you should get some rest for the time being and spend time with your boyfriend."When Corbyn heard that, he had a bad feeling. "It would be very troublesome for you to fly back and forth. Since I was the one who caused this trouble, I should put in the effort. Only when we're at our last resort should I make you come all the way here.""Alright, but there's no time to lose. I'll give you a week, and I hope to hear good news afterward," Amanda said.Pearl had listened to the entire call. After it ended, she couldn't stop herself from asking, "Why didn't you let Mandy come?""I suddenly felt like she'd agreed too readily, as if she'd been waiting for me to beg her." Corbyn pondered it. "She was the one who gave me this project, and I ran into an issue, having caused the problem in the first place. If I then asked her for help, and she immediately fle

Compared to Amanda, Corbyn was indeed considered a novice. He also didn't have much control over the company. However, he had his strengths too. Besides being Vlad's favorite grandchild, he had two other trump cards as well—the Bloomberg Group's young all-knowing genius, Paxton, as well as the Bloomberg Group's veteran all-knowing genius, Veronica. The two of them weren't particularly good at operational tasks, but they were social butterflies who could find out all sorts of information. What was even harder to come by was that even though they both loved to tell Corbyn off, they were also undeniably loyal to Corbyn.Corbyn asked the two of them to find out who Amanda was the closest to among the Abraham Exam Board.Right after he sent the question, Veronica replied nearly instantly, "You don't need to go and ask Paxton. I already found out for you this morning."Veronica was speaking nearly too calmly. A hypothesis formed in Corbyn's mind. "Don't tell me you already knew that
