The Villainess's Heartthrob Script: I Can Talk to Animals
Chapter 133: "Terence Woods, You’re Fired.
Lily showed the audience her and Terence Woods’ wedding photo. He was wearing a white suit and metal-framed glasses, looking quite dapper and refined.
Renee Jennings commented coolly, "An animal in a suit."
[Savage streamer!]
[It’s scary running into this type of seemingly sophisticated man. You wouldn’t even know what hit you...]
[This guy looks like a man from my company. What was his name again?]
[The abuser’s name is Terence Woods!!!]
Fortune Blossom said she was taking Lily for a check-up, thanked Renee Jennings and the audience for their concern, and then disconnected from the stream.
But the audience continued to discuss the matter.
[What’s the verdict, @LittleTimes? Is the abuser your coworker?]
[Waiting for @LittleTimes to reply!]
[@LittleTimes if he’s your coworker, report him immediately!]
Terence Woods got a call from Mrs. Wright right after his meeting ended.
When he learned that Lily’s family found out he had hit her, and that they had taken her away, Terence Woods was furious.
He stayed in the conference room, his voice deliberately low but still laced with annoyance. "Didn’t I tell you to watch her?"
Mrs. Wright retorted, "You told me to watch her and not let her go out alone. How was I supposed to know her family would show up at our door?"
Terence Woods raged, "Then you should have stopped them! She’s your daughter-in-law, you could have stopped them!"
"You think I didn’t try?" Mrs. Wright said, pursing her lips on the other end of the line. "I had to be able to actually stop them. Her mother brought so many people over! And she said she wants you two to divorce!"
Terence Woods ran a hand through his hair, extremely agitated.
He hung up and desperately tried to think of a way to handle this.
He definitely couldn’t get a divorce. Lily was an only child, so her family’s assets would be his in the future.
He had to go to her family’s house, admit he was wrong, apologize, and bring Lily back.
As Terence Woods sat in the conference room, he schemed about what to say when he went to Lily’s family’s house to make his apology seem sincere and remorseful.
But what he didn’t know was that the news of him abusing Lily had already spread throughout the office.
His direct supervisor called him and told him to come to her office for a chat.
Terence Woods assumed it was about his promotion and raise. The gloom in his heart vanished, and a smile appeared on his face as he walked out of the conference room.
The moment he appeared, his coworkers all turned to give him scrutinizing looks.
Terence Woods was in a fantastic mood and paid no mind to their stares, striding confidently into his supervisor’s office.
His direct supervisor was a forty-year-old single woman.
She stared at the beaming Terence Woods and frowned. "You look pleased with yourself."
"President Kane," Terence Woods said, assuming she was talking about the promotion and raise. He deliberately acted candid. "To be honest, I’m truly happy to be held in such high regard by you."
"I wouldn’t dare hold an abusive man in high regard," President Kane said with a cold smile. "Terence Woods, you’re fired."
Terence Woods’ heart skipped a beat. The smile on his face froze, his eyes filled with disbelief. "P-President Kane, are you joking?"
"I’m not joking," President Kane said, her face full of disgust. "Get out."
Terence Woods had no idea what was happening. "President Kane, has there been some kind of misunderstanding?"
"You look like a decent person on the outside, but I never thought you’d be worse than an animal," President Kane said without a shred of patience. "The entire company knows you’re an abuser. What misunderstanding could there possibly be?"
"I’m an abuser? That’s impossible," Terence Woods said anxiously. "I love my wife very much. I draw her a foot bath every night. How could I bear to hit her?"
"Stop pretending," President Kane said impatiently. "Lily’s mother connected with a major streamer. The fact that you hit your wife, and that your father hits his wife too—it’s all over the internet now."
"What?" Terence Woods still couldn’t believe things had turned out this way. "This is impossible..."
President Kane simply opened her office door.
The coworkers who had been crowding the doorway instantly pretended to be busy.
President Kane asked coolly, "Do you all know what Terence Woods has done?"
A loud voice answered, "Domestic abuse! He beats his wife!"
Terence Woods instantly clenched his fists, his whole body trembling with rage.
’Damn that Lily Thornton!’
In the end, Terence Woods could only leave the company in disgrace.

As the audience wished, Renee Jennings started a mukbang on her stream.
She was hungry and had to connect with Jenny in a bit, so she just decided not to end the stream.
However, she had no intention of connecting with any other viewers.
She’d absorbed enough negative energy for one day.
After Renee Jennings finished eating, she happened to see a bullet comment from "Pig-Raising Expert."
[Renee, girls, I’ve already met up with Sleepy Senior and Rice Cake.]
[I’m taking them to my place now.]
Renee Jennings raised an eyebrow slightly. "So when does the scumbag arrive?"
[He gets off work in three hours. I’m going to take Senior and Rice Cake to grab a bite first.]
Seeing this comment, Renee Jennings had a sudden idea. "Three hours, huh? In that case, why don’t I come grab a bite with you guys too?"
[Streamer, didn’t you just finish eating?]
[Eating is just an excuse. She mainly wants to join in on the fun~]
[You can eat together, but I only have one condition: don’t end the stream.]
To the audience’s disappointment, Renee Jennings did end up going offline after all. Her phone ran out of battery and automatically shut down.
After charging her phone and turning it back on, Renee Jennings immediately posted an update, telling everyone the stream would start again at 5:30.
Jenny, Sleepy Senior, and Rice Cake all sent her private messages, asking if she was really coming to eat with them.
Renee Jennings replied to each of them: "For real. Send me the location."
Slider said excitedly, "Renee, take Turtle with you! Turtle wants to go eat with them too."
Blueberry hopped over to Renee Jennings’s feet and pawed at her leg. "Renee, I want to go too!"
"Me too!" Cici chimed in, raising a small paw.
Renee Jennings didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "I can’t possibly take you all. Just be good and wait for me at home. I’ll tell you all about it when I get back."
"It’s not the same!" Blueberry protested.
Renee Jennings was at a loss. "How about I give you a phone, and you can open the stream and watch it yourselves when it starts?"
The proposal was passed unanimously.
But Renee Jennings didn’t have a spare phone.
She had no choice but to ask Rhea Dempsey for help.
Rhea Dempsey, who had just gotten home, heard there was gossip to watch and readily agreed. "Sure. Tell me when you go live, and I’ll cast it to the TV for them."
"You’re the best," Renee Jennings said, giving her a thumbs-up.
She went to the bathroom, and when she came out, Rhea Dempsey told her, "Michelle just called. She said she needs to see you about something and will be downstairs in ten minutes."
Renee Jennings blinked.
’She didn’t even have to think to know what was up. That girl wants to tag along to watch the drama unfold.’
’There’s really nothing to be done about her.’
Ten minutes later, her phone rang again.
Renee Jennings answered the phone as she walked to the door.
"My dear Renee, let me go with you, okay?" Michelle Fuller said solicitously, getting out of the car to open the door for her. "It’s too dangerous for you to meet up with internet friends alone."
Renee Jennings got into the passenger seat, and Michelle Fuller even thoughtfully fastened her seatbelt for her.
"So, what do you say, Renee?" Michelle Fuller asked again.
Renee Jennings raised an eyebrow. "How could I possibly say no to you?"
"Hehe," Michelle Fuller said as she walked around the front of the car to the driver’s seat. She shot Renee a playful wink. "Just make sure the camera isn’t pointed at me when I start throwing hands later."
