Chapter 326 Resign

“Now that we’ve wrapped up the business talk, let’s get into the personal stuff.”
Chandler twirled a pen between his fingers, his tone ice–cold. “Don’t think your relentless pursuit of Meryl is some kind of romantic gesture. Let’s be blunt, Dalton: right now, you’re no different from a homewrecker.
“The renowned Mr. Dalton Aniston of Kingsdom has stooped so low–chasing after a woman like this? The Aniston family won’t tolerate it, and I certainly won’t.
“I’m giving you two options: either you follow in your father’s footsteps and skip town after the holidays, or you promise me that you’ll never pursue her again when you see her at the Aniston Villa. If you break that promise, you can pack your bags and leave the country.”
Chandler’s indifferent tone sent a chill down Dalton’s spine.
Deep down, Dalton had anticipated that Chandler wouldn’t let the events of yesterday slide, but he hadn’t expected Chandler to be so brutally straightforward.
Either option Chandler laid out effectively severed any hope he had with Meryl.
Of course, someone like Chandler wouldn’t show mercy to a rival.

“Fair? Save it. I’m warning you again: Meryl is my woman now. Do you really think just because you share the Aniston name, I wouldn’t dare to act?
“Dalton, think long and hard about whether you can handle my wrath.”
Chandler’s eyes were cold.
At that moment, he wasn’t speaking as Uncle Chandler; he was speaking as Meryl’s husband.
Their gazes locked, and Dalton suddenly felt deflated.
His reckless actions from yesterday had backfired spectacularly. Instead of gaining anything, he had landed himself in at precarious position.
Now, he found himself stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Chandler’s message was crystal clear. If Dalton continued to stir the pot, he would face the music in front of the Aniston family.
As it stood, Dalton had no leg to stand on. If it went public, he would only embarrass himself further.
Just then, an international call came through.
Chandler lifted his gaze, casting an icy glare at Dalton. “If you understand, pack your things and get the hell out of Galaxy Holdings Group.”
Stepping out of the office, Dalton made his way to the Marketing Department.

Since everyone was still on holiday, the office was eerily empty, leaving him all alone.
Dalton had joined Galaxy Holdings Group right after
graduation; it was practically his second home.
But because of that stupid mistake, he was about to be shown the door. Though he still held shares in the company, he wouldn’t be able to keep his position.
Sitting in the chair, Dalton rubbed his temples, trying to ease the headache forming there.
He had spent so much time at Galaxy Holdings Group, and if it hadn’t been for Chandler’s sudden rise, he would’ve been the next CEO.
But now, with Chandler in the picture, his father exiled, and even he faced expulsion from the company, it felt like everything was crumbling around him.
And the woman he cared for? She was slipping away, too.
Dalton couldn’t shake the feeling of injustice. He believed he was no less than Chandler.
He thought, “Everything Chandler can give her, I can. Why doesn’t Meryl choose me?
I’ve acknowledged my mistakes and even humbled myself before her.”
The HR department worked quickly. Even though it was still a

holiday, within a few hours, news of Dalton’s resignation had reached every employee’s inbox.
The buzz around Kingsdom was palpable.
Dalton had been kicked out of Galaxy Holdings Group?
In just a year, he and his father had been sidelined by Chandler, and the rumors were flying.
Some said Chandler was ruthless; others speculated that Dalton’s blunder was a trap set by Chandler to eliminate any potential threat.
Just as Dalton finished packing his things, his phone buzzed with a call from Charlotte.
“Dalton, what’s going on? You resigned?”
