Chasing After My Beloved Wife novel Chapter 20

The Man She Loved Never Loved Her

After an hour of enjoying the cold wind blowing at her face, Joye went back to the apartment and took a warm shower. She slept comfortably until dawn, got up, turned on the TV, and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face.

"The president of the Richard Group and a mysterious woman returned to his villa in the middle of the night. It was seen that he took great care of her. This mysterious woman has grasped Mr. Richard’s heart entirely."

Joye's hand, which was holding an electric toothbrush, froze as she was going to insert it into her mouth. It was not until her lips were stung by it that she came to her senses and emerged from her suffocating feelings.

She turned around and saw on television, Shawn and Vivian getting out of the car. They walked hand in hand to the entrance of a three-story villa. She coquettishly kissed him on the cheek, and he responded with a deep and passionate kiss.

What a wonderful scene. If the man wasn't Shawn, she would be smiling happily and waiting for more exciting scenes to be exposed.

"This reporter stayed outside for an entire night. Mr. Richard and the mysterious woman didn't come out after entering the villa. I wonder how Mrs. Richard would feel while staying all alone in the mansion?"

The reporter’s fake concern was like a knife stabbing into her heart again and again. She felt a sharp pain in her chest.

Last night, her husband slept with another woman! What should she feel?

This wasn't the first time this kind of thing had happened. She thought that she was used to it, but when she saw Vivian's face, she couldn't calm down at all. In the past, she was only angry. She was proud and confident. Those women in the past weren't worth mentioning, and they couldn’t snatch her position as Mrs. Richard.

However, Vivian’s appearance was like a fierce slap to her face. She suddenly understood that it didn’t matter whether someone could steal her position of Mrs. Richard or not. The man she loved never loved her back!

"Young Madam, are you up? Breakfast is ready."

The sound of knocking on the door and Sherry's gentle voice forced the bitterness on her face to disappear quickly.

She spat out the foam in her mouth and washed her face with cold water. Only then did her pale face regain some color. Looking at herself in the mirror, she calmed down by taking a deep breath.

Joye, you just have a month to go before you divorce Shawn. What's the difference between another woman and Vivian?

"Young Madam?"

Sherry couldn't hear an answer, so she couldn't help raising her voice. Only then did Joye respond.

"I'll be downstairs in a minute."

After washing up, Joye chose a black suit and put it on. Her long hair was tied into a simple ponytail. She looked calm but not dull. She spun in front of the mirror and maintained a professional smile.

"Joye, from today onwards, you have to take on the heavy burden of the Leonard Group, even if that means you have to be unscrupulous!"

After breakfast, as soon as Joye picked up her handbag, Sherry handed her a pink and still warm thermos. She was stunned for a moment before she took it with a smile.

"Young Madam, this is Baird's order. He said that you can't eat too much takeout. He told me to make porridge and some light dishes that you can keep warm. It will still be hot at noon."

"Thank you, Sherry." Her heart became warmer because of the weight in her hand. Sherry just smiled lovingly and saw her out.

As soon as she arrived at the company, the secretary knocked on the door and came in with bad news "Miss, the stock price dropped again today."

On the day the president, his wife, and their younger daughter died, the Leonard Group's stock fell drastically. It had been several days, and the original trend should have been eased. Unexpectedly, it dropped again.

Joye opened her financial app and saw that the horizontal line did not budge. It made her frown. In just a few days, the stock price of the Leonard Group had dropped by 40%. The fall this morning had something to do with the scandal regarding Shawn last night.

If she could not make the investors trust her, the Leonard Group stock price would continue to drop wildly.

"Prepare a car. I'm visiting the Richard Group."
