Chapter 236: Chapter 236: Such a Good Husband Candidate

["I have no choice but to work overtime. I’m responsible for everything at the firm, big or small, and I can’t let anything go wrong."]

Evelyn Grant smiled and texted him back.

["Well, since I’ve taken on this case, I’m responsible for everything involved, big or small, and I can’t let anything go wrong either."]

Perhaps because she was about to be discharged from the hospital, she was in a good mood and even cracked a joke with Mr. Shaw.

Mr. Shaw, on the other end of the line, sensed this, which gave him the courage to cautiously bring something up.

["By the way, Ms. Grant... are you still set on resigning? The firm is short-staffed right now, and your departure would have a pretty significant impact."]

Mr. Shaw was careful not to sound too pushy, afraid she might get suspicious again.

Evelyn Grant stared at the message, not replying right away.

This was clearly Mr. Shaw trying to convince her to stay; she understood that much.

But...

Even though many of her doubts had been dispelled, she still couldn’t be certain that the firm had absolutely no connection to Ryan Sterling.

She had already made up her mind: after finalizing the divorce with Ryan Sterling, she would cut all ties with anyone in his family.

So, as for whether to resign, Evelyn Grant couldn’t make a decision just yet.

After some consideration, Evelyn Grant texted Mr. Shaw back.

["I’ll complete all my current assignments, and then we can finalize my resignation. Or, I can leave whenever you feel someone at the firm is ready to take over my work."]

She had no idea, but the moment Mr. Shaw saw her message, he let out a massive sigh of relief.

’As long as she sticks to her word, there will always be work for her at the firm. Absolutely no one will *ever* be able to "take over" her work!’

...

After mulling over her message, Mr. Shaw took a screenshot and sent it to his boss.

He had breathed a sigh of relief, and he figured this would allow his boss to relax for a moment as well.

["Mr. Sterling, Ms. Grant is in a pretty good mood today—she even cracked a joke with me. I took the opportunity to ask about her resignation. Her response suggests there might be a chance for a turnaround. I’ll follow your instructions and stall her for now! You can focus on your work without worry. I’ll do my absolute best to take good care of Ms. Grant on my end."]

Ryan Sterling’s reply came back quickly: ["Okay."]

Mr. Shaw suddenly realized that Ryan Sterling must have set up special notifications for his number.

’Why else would I get a reply so quickly every time I message him?’

’He’s so busy every day; he can’t have that much time to be checking his phone.’

Of course, Mr. Shaw knew perfectly well that he only received this "special treatment" because of Evelyn Grant.

His boss was afraid that if anything happened to Evelyn Grant, he would miss the alert or see it too late, preventing him from knowing at the earliest possible moment.

"Sigh... He’s such a perfect husband. What on earth is Ms. Grant thinking?"

Sighing to himself, Mr. Shaw typed out a reply to Evelyn Grant.

["Great! That’s a huge relief to hear. The firm is really short-staffed right now, and I’m not comfortable entrusting important work to the new hires yet! I was truly in a difficult position. Thank you for being so understanding."]

["Please, don’t thank me. I’m the one who should be thanking you! You took a chance on me right after I got out of prison, and you even helped me resolve all the trouble I brought to the firm. I’ll always remember these kindnesses."]

Mr. Shaw rubbed his temples.

He desperately wanted to just tell Evelyn Grant that all those "kindnesses" were actually from Ryan Sterling.

’The only reason her path had been so smooth was because someone was paving the way for her from behind the scenes.’
