My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 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 bugs 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 it never stops.

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

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?”
