Chapter 5
“Since everyone dislikes me so much, I’ll leave.”
He ran out crying.
Wilona glared at me. “Did you instigate this? Discipline your subordinates well and shut up if you can’t speak!”
After saying this, she chased after him with her skirt lifted, attracting everyone’s attention.
In her heart, I was always the one who tripped Arnold up.
A month ago, Arnold suddenly parachuted into the company as the technical director. He, a person who didn’t understand technology, intervened in the design of the technical department, resulting in the failure of the system test and the delay of the construction period.
Everyone thought it was his problem, but Wilona called me to the office and scolded me.
“I can’t imagine that you are so deep-minded. Because you are dissatisfied with Arnold becoming your boss, you deliberately trip him up and let people exclude him. Because he once robbed your woman, you have been holding a grudge?”
No matter how I explained, she believed that I was behind the bad things.
A few days ago, Arnold almost crashed a car while driving her car and she also blamed me for it.
The reason was that I was the last person to drive her car last time and she thought that I deliberately concealed the hidden dangers, even though I knew there were hidden dangers.
“You just want Arnold to die to satisfy your pleasure of revenge! Why did you become like this now?”
Her heartbroken look made my heart ache.
This time, I didn’t explain to her again.
The company had been established for five years and she had never revealed our relationship to the outside world.
Every time I asked her to officially announce our relationship, she always shirked it, saying that the company did not allow office romance.
Until later, I was numb and didn’t mention it again.
After the new product launch conference, Wilona didn’t show up again, let alone call me.
Not long after, my phone vibrated and Arnold sent me a video.
The picture was in the car, Arnold pressed Wilona under him and the two of them were lingering and passionate in the small space.
“Wilona, who is better, me or your damned husband?”
Wilona was immersed in the gentleness and responded instinctively, “Of course, it’s you. I love you. Only you can make me enjoy real pleasure.”
Looking at the screen, I thought I would be very angry and furious. But I was so calm that even I found it incredible.
I downloaded all the videos from the dashcam. Halfway through, I made a phone call to ask someone to investigate Arnold.
I didn’t believe that he really loved Wilona. When I got home, I immediately printed a divorce agreement and signed my name. At the same time, there was a resignation application and a USB flash drive with videos, which were stuffed into a brown paper bag and delivered to Wilona’s company.
That night, Wilona still didn’t come back and only sent a message: [There was a problem with a customer. I will be on a business trip these two days and will not be back. Take care of yourself at home and I will buy you a gift when I come back.]
I was not surprised by this message. The next morning, I received Arnold’s video again. In the video, the floor was full of tissues, the bedding was in a mess, a white jade hand was on the quilt, the face was closed, sleeping sweetly.
“Garrick, Wilona looks so beautiful when she sleeps. We were busy all night last night and used 7 condoms. She was too tired. Wilona promised me last night that after returning this time, she would transfer all your shares to me. She also said that she would take me to the auction today and buy the most expensive item for me as a birthday present.”
Chapter 6
“She also said that she would give me a child, a child between me and her and even the name has been chosen, called Blake. Garrick, you have to accept your fate. Wilona doesn’t love you.”
I ignored his provocation and blocked him directly.
When packing my luggage, I saw a bunch of watches and belts of similar styles in the drawer.
Every time she went on a business trip, Wilona would bring back a so-called gift and it was always the same.
I once joked with her, “As a female CEO, you are too stingy to buy a watch worth hundreds of dollars for your husband.”
She retorted, “The gift is small, but the sentiment is great. It’s enough to give you something. Don’t push it too far.”
But since Arnold came to the company, she gave him a famous watch and a car.
I lost my temper and she used another excuse to perfunctorily deal with me.
“You are a technician, why do you need to dress so well? Don’t technicians dress very rustic? Arnold is a returnee and the face of our company. He should dress appropriately, otherwise it will only bring shame to the company. As for giving him a luxury car, he is a director. How can he go out to negotiate contracts with others without a decent car?”
No matter what I was dissatisfied with, she always had a bunch of reasons to prevaricate me.
As I threw all these gifts into the garbage bag, my phone kept vibrating.
The company chat group was very lively.
[Have you heard that Mrs. Barrett went to the auction and bought the most expensive item, an antique worth 6 million dollars and gave it to Mr. Rowse as a birthday present.]
[Oh my God! 6 million dollars? Mrs. Barrett is so generous.]
[I also heard that Mr. Rowse proposed to Mrs. Barrett on the spot and Mrs. Barrett was so moved that she burst into tears.]
[Are you mistaken? I heard that Mr. Rowse has a wife.]
I looked at the calendar on my phone. Today was my and Wilona’s five-year wedding anniversary.
But on this anniversary, she spent it with another man and gave him a valuable gift.
I couldn’t feel any resentment in my heart.
Since I was leaving, why bother so much?
Carrying my luggage to the airport, I glanced at the courier and saw that it was already being delivered.
I thought that the things should be delivered to Wilona soon.
Just as I was about to board the plane, Wilona sent a message: [Honey, I bought you a different gift on my way back from a business trip. I’ll be home when I’m done with the company. Please wait for me at home.]
At the same time, I received two text messages.
One message was a cancellation reminder.
[Dear Mr. Kennedy, your identity has been successfully cancelled and all your documents and mobile phone numbers will be invalid.]
The other message was that the investigation I asked someone to do had a result. I glanced at it and forwarded it to the company group with a sneer.
I turned off my phone and stepped into the boarding channel.
On the other side, Wilona and Arnold had just returned to the company. She looked at the time on her phone and remembered that she hadn’t had dinner with Garrick for so long, so she called her assistant.
“Book a restaurant for me and then call Mr. Kennedy and tell him that I’ll treat him to lunch at noon.”
The assistant did as he was told.
Wilona, who was sitting in the office, looked at the blue sky outside the window and felt happy.
Thinking of buying a different gift for Garrick this time, she had imagined that he would jump for joy after receiving the gift.
But before she could smile, the assistant pushed the door in hurriedly.
“Mrs. Barrett, Mr. Kennedy’s phone number is no longer in service! None of us can find him. Also, the front desk just received a courier from Mr. Kennedy.”
