My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 1077

Chapter 1077

There was no doubt Hera already knew Boris had been bribed.

However, instead of calling the police, she had decided to merely

dismiss him from the company. This would help Boris retain some

semblance of honor even till the very end.

She was repaying a grudge with a favor!

After that, Boris told them everything about why he had accepted the

bribe.

His wife had been diagnosed with a terminal illness.

The medical expenses plunged his family, which had just recovered from the previous plight, into financial troubles once again.

The president of Deco Electronics chose that very moment to

approach him.

She promised to pay for all the treatment his wife received at the hospital on one condition.

When Boris heard that he needed to install hidden cameras and bug in Hera’s office, he refused to do so without hesitating.

However, he underwent a dilemma after returning to his wife’s ward and seeing how she was in so much pain that all she wanted to do

was die.

Baroque had helped him greatly. If it had not been for them, he would have lost his daughter six years ago

However, he and his wife had spent over half their lives together. He

could not stand the thought that she might not be able to watch their daughter get married and settle down.

After going through several days in a haze, he eventually lost control

of himself.

Ten days ago, he contacted Xena and received the bugs and hidden cameras. He told one of his most trusted men to plant them in Hera’s

office.

When Boris finished speaking, he slapped himself across the face

numerous times. “I’m sorry, Ms. Hera. I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. I

_don’t deserve to be alive!”

He had spent the past ten days on tenterhooks, struggling to fall

asleep every night. Days felt like years to him.

The look on Hera’s face turned slightly less hostile.

Melody was worried Hera might go easy on him and hurriedly spoke

up, “Don’t doubt your employee, and never hire someone you don’t

trust. There’s no in-between for betrayal. It either never happens or

never stops.

“Baroque is no longer the small company from back then. You shoul replace whoever shows the need to be replaced!”

Hera pursed her lips.

If Boris had betrayed her just for the money, she would have fired him without a second thought.

However, because he had done it for his gravely ill wife…

Melody could tell that Hera was going to go easy on Boris, and she shook her head ruefully as she said, “You should do as you deem fit.

All I’ll do is provide you with reminders and suggestions!”

Hera grinned at Melody. “Thank you, Melody!”

Melody had been doing this for much longer than Hera had.

Everything Melody told her was no doubt for her own good.

If Hera did not listen to her advice, she would be letting Melody down.

Melody was only saying that because she was spoiling her.

Boris’ family’s financial situation had only just improved slightly, and

his wife was terminally ill.

Given his age, it would be difficult for him to find another job.

Hera did not want to be the one who destroyed his family. She turned to Boris and said, “You should get to your feet, Mr. Griffin. I’ve decided to give you a second chance!”

Boris’ heart skipped a beat, and fresh tears brimmed in his eyes as he

said, “Ms. Hera… You…”

Hera hurriedly waved her hands. “You should return to work. I’ll have someone from the Finance Department transfer the money needed for your wife’s treatment this evening!”

Boris trembled as he bit down on his lip and bowed deeply at Hera.

Where else would he find a president as kind as she was?

Despite the fact he had betrayed her, she still allowed him to keep his

job and was even paying for his wife’s treatment.

He promised himself that he would spend the rest of his life being a loyal employee of Baroque.

After Boris left, Melody sat back down and said, “Being kind is a good thing, but you might end up getting pushed off the cliff if you’re too

kind for your own good!”

Hera linked her arm with Melody’s and said cutely, “It’s alright, Melody. I’m not an idiot. I know what I’m doing. This is a way of

getting people over to your side as well, isn’t it?”
