Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You

At his command, Kurt signaled the black-clad bodyguards who quickly carried the beaten thugs out, dragging Audrey and her accomplices with them.

Audrey and her associates were in shock, still grappling with the severity of the situation.

Reese, ever the opportunist, fainted from the overwhelming fear.

Kurts tone was icy as he addressed them.

Gather your belongings and leave the company immediately.

You have thirty minutes.

If youre not out by then, youll regret it.

Mr.

Newman.. Audrey began weakly.noveldrama

But Kurt dismissed her with a wave, his contempt clear.

You have twenty-nine minutes.

Think carefully if you believe you can stir more trouble before you leave.

With that, Kurt turned on his heel and left.

Audrey, we were just following your orders.

Now weve lost our jobs and are being kicked out of Stastle.

You need to fix this! Bryanna exclaimed, her voice tinged with desperation.

Already overwhelmed, Audrey snapped back, Who begged me for a leg up initially? Now you blame me? You didnt complain when you were reaping the benefits.

Fix this? What can I possibly do? This was your idea! Its not fair that Im the one to suffer for it! Bryanna yelled, following closely behind Audrey.

The remaining staff watched with a blend of curiosity and concern as Bryanna and Reese returned, their faces streaked with tears.

As Audrey walked in, someone asked, What happened? Why did Kurt call you out? And why is Bryanna packing her things? With a sigh, Audrey began packing her belongings, her face the picture of resigned frustration.

The only advice I can give you is to steer clear of Dulcie.

She has the CEOs support, she muttered.

All I did was compete with her on a project, and now Im being forced to leave.

Just then, Kurt walked into the logistics department, causing Audrey to fall silent mid-sentence.

Under Kurts stern watch, Audrey and her colleagues quickly filled boxes with their possessions.

After their departure, the department buzzed with whispers as colleagues clustered to discuss the shocking events.

Audrey has been a mainstay here and is extremely competent. Why let her go? Maybe its a promotion? I doubt that, another replied.

Didnt you see all her close associates leaving too? And with Bryanna always so outspoken, if it were a promotion, she wouldnt appear so defeated.

They must have done something severe to upset Mr.

Shaw.

The person who had spoken with Audrey earlier shook her head, whispering, Audrey was honest with me.

We should avoid Dulcie going forward.

Shes untouchable.

Its unsettling to think what her connections might be.

The gossipers immediately gathered around, pulling the colleague who just spoke aside to dive into the juicy details.
