I couldn't stand it anymore and slapped her.

She screamed, her face was red and swollen. 

Camilla was covering her face, looking very painful when yelling, “Katherine! Just wait, you have nothing now, I wonder what else you can use to fight me. We'll see."

“Haven't you ever heard that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes?"

After saying that, I left the office and saw some employees whispering outside the door. They should have all been fired for being so gossipy.

I strode towards Mike's office, then kicked the door open.

Mike was startled by the loud noise. So, he stood up angrily and looked at me before asking, “What do you want? You're making such a fuss. Do you think you're still the same Ms. Avery?"

I hesitated before speaking, since I didn’t expect Mike would be that cruel.

“Why did you fire me? Give me a reason."

“We have broken up. Do you understand? After the breakup, there is no place for you in this company."

A hint of resentment flashed across his handsome face.

“But I have done nothing wrong. Why are you firing me?"

“Of course, it's to make room for my new girlfriend. You know, right? Camilla and I are together."

“Camilla?" 

I was shocked when hearing her name.

Camilla had been uneducated since she was a child. She only relied on her mouth to coax the whole family to love her. 

As she and I were of similar age, we had always been the object of comparison among the elders. So, I knew everything about her.

Although I had good grades and never made people worry about my education, Camilla was sweet and could coax people, which made many people love her more than me.

That was why, although I started my own business right after graduation and had already achieved financial freedom, Camilla was still the most beloved person in the family. Even my biological parents loved her more than me.

Then, at that time, she even got my boyfriend’s love and became his lover.

“Camilla is in the same age as you, but she is more considerate than you. She never asks me to talk about work late at night, she also is not as unromantic as you. She will care about me in every possible way. The way that I will never get from you."

My boyfriend's answer left me stunned, as if I was back in my childhood when my parents frowned and scolded me for not being any better than Camilla.
