Xia Jin’s phone rang half an hour later. She picked it up with some annoyance and saw that it was from Assistant Xu Bing.

It was someone from Huo Jue’s side.

She hung up the call.

The surroundings quieted down instantly.

Xia Jin felt good.

Then, she pulled the blanket over her head and was prepared to sleep until noon.

Unexpectedly, her phone rang again two minutes later.

Xia Jin’s sleepiness was instantly dispelled, and she felt a little irritable. Then, she picked up the phone and said somewhat unpleasantly, “Don’t look for me since I’ve already resigned!”

Xu Bing seemed to be stunned for a moment, then he continued, “President Huo asked me to look for you. He’s at the hospital, and he is asking for you to come over.”

Xia Jin sneered. “What does it have to do with me when he’s at the hospital? I don’t have the time to go there.”

It would be better if he was dead!

Xu Bing seemed to be a little surprised by Xia Jin’s reaction. After a while, he explained, “Miss Xia, I’m just a messenger. Please don’t give me a hard time. Since you’ve been with President Huo for so many years, you must know the consequences of disobeying him. You should behave more cautiously as you’re still an employee of the Huo Corporation.”

Xu Bing and Xia Jin did not hold any animosity against each other, and his words were said objectively. Xia Jin became silent for a while and did not respond.

She still did not want to go see Huo Jue.

Every cell in her body was resisting the idea of visiting the hospital.

Xu Bing sighed. Then, he said in a somewhat helpless tone, sensing Xia Jin’s attitude. “Miss Xia, President Huo can take back the properties under you at any time. Also, your mother’s expenses at the sanatorium have been covered by President Huo all these years. It won’t do you any good to oppose him.”

Xia Jin gritted her teeth and gripped her phone tighter.

After taking a deep breath, Xia Jin calmed herself down. “Okay, I’ll go.”

Xia Jin was about to apply make-up out of habit after changing. However, she remembered that she would soon be going separate ways with Huo Jue, so she did not need to pay that much attention to her image. Hence, she went out with a bare face and a ponytail.

When she arrived at the entrance of the hospital, Xu Bing sent her a text message telling her the location of the examination room.

Xia Jin went upstairs and walked to the entrance of the examination room. However, she was surprised to find that the sign on the door indicated gynecology when she looked up.

What was going on?

Xia Jin pushed open the door in confusion. There was no one else inside there, apart from a middle-aged female doctor, who was sitting inside.

Huo Jue was not here?

The female doctor nodded at her kindly when she saw Xia Jin coming over. “You’re Miss Xia, right?”

“Yes…” Xia Jin responded hesitantly.

“Mr. Huo has booked a gynecological examination for you. You can lie on the bed first.”

A gynecological examination?! Xia Jin’s face instantly darkened.

The female doctor saw that she was not moving and thought that she was nervous, so she comforted her gently. “You don’t have to be afraid since it’s just a simple check-up. You can take off your pants first. Then, I’ll take a sample later. It’ll be quick.”

Xia Jin’s breathing grew heavier, and her heart started throbbing. Anger was gradually rising within her. She got called to the hospital because Huo Jue believed that she was tainted? He wanted to check if anything had happened between Zhou Qi and her last night…

But then, the bottom of her eyes gradually became cold and numb.

The check-up process ended very quickly. Xia Jin got down from the bed calmly and tidied up her clothes. Her hands were still trembling violently.

Although she felt a certain emotion that almost made her chest explode, she did not show it.

Although the female doctor acted kindly toward Xia Jin, there was a faint hint of contempt in the way she looked at her.

When Xia Jin walked out of the examination room, her phone suddenly rang.

“I’ll be home in thirty minutes. Wait for me at home.” Huo Jue’s tone was as light and indifferent as usual.

Xia Jin gritted her teeth and spoke coldly, “President Huo, I’ve already resigned. I’m not your secretary anymore. If you need anything, don’t look for me again. Moreover, whether I’m healthy or not has nothing to do with you.”

She did not want to be kept by Huo Jue any longer.

After hearing her words, Huo Jue was silent for a few moments. Then, a trace of laughter seemed to leak from the phone, as if he was mocking Xia Jin.

“Have you not seen the email I just sent you? You should read it before making a decision.” Huo Jue was not the slightest worried that Xia Jin would disobey his orders at all, and hung up the call.

Xia Jin suppressed the anger in her heart. She opened her phone and logged into her email account to check the email.

A screenshot was lying in the email. It seemed to be the terms of a contract.

For termination of service within five years, the penalty for breaching the contract was 20 million dollars.

Xia Jin’s eyes widened in disbelief. Her breathing quickened, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

She had never signed such a contract before!

Wait…

Xia Jin forced herself to calm down and began to recall her memories carefully.

She had never signed such a contract before. However, in the years that she had been with Huo Jue, he did make her sign many other written contracts. As those contracts were not related to her personally, she did not look at them in detail.

It was hard to say that Huo Jue did not tamper with those contracts and secretly set her up.

Xia Jin’s pupils suddenly contracted. Cold sweat started seeping out of her body, soaking her clothes.

Huo Jue, you bastard!
