His Greatest Pretense Chapter 10
"You promised you'd never leave me."The words almost made me laugh. Why was Jeff clinging so desperately to my promises when he had never kept his own?When everyone realized they could not change my mind, disappointment spread through the room.I stood up, ready to say my goodbyes. That was when Wendy came charging out of nowhere and punched me. I immediately punched her back. The two of us were seconds away from a full-blown fight before everyone rushed forward to pull us apart. Tears filled Wendy's eyes as she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Elaine, you're a terrible person! Do you even understand what's happening? If this isn't fixed, it won't just cost money. Jeff could end up in prison!"You keep saying you loved him more than anyone, but the moment he needs you most, you're running off to another country. You're shameless!"The irony was unbelievable.Wendy was the one who had caused all of this. What right did she have to accuse me?Seeing how upset she was, several

By the time the wedding was over and I finally had a chance to check my phone, I discovered that news of the company's failed project had already spread throughout the industry.Jeff no longer had the luxury of sitting back and letting other people handle things. On one side, he had to calm the furious client. On the other, he had to deal with angry shareholders demanding answers.For the first time in years, he was the one running around nonstop. During that time, Jeff sent me several messages asking for help. I rejected every single one.Eventually, he lost his temper.[Elaine, I'm giving you a chance to save the company. You should be grateful instead of acting like this.]I immediately blocked his number and blocked him on all other platforms too. After that, I never paid attention to him again.Meanwhile, the situation continued to spiral out of control. The story spread beyond industry circles and into the public eye. For several days in a row, Jeff's company dominated the

Jeff suddenly laughed. The tension seemed to drain from his body as he let out a long sigh of relief. "So, you're not marrying someone else. Then why didn't you just explain that to me?"A moment later, realization dawned on him. "Oh, I get it now. You were trying to make me jealous on purpose. Alright, alright. Let's stop fighting. We should deal with the company's crisis first."I handed the corsage to my friend and shook off the hand Jeff had reached out to grab mine with. "I have a wedding to attend. The mess you and Wendy created is your problem to solve."Jeff lifted his chin unhappily and frowned at me. "Is your friend's wedding really more important than the company? Wendy and I have already apologized. How long are you planning to keep this up?"The way he said it was almost impressive. If he had not spent all this time enabling Wendy's behavior, none of that would have happened in the first place.I ignored him and continued chatting with my friend.Seeing that neither

Only today did I finally learn the truth. All of it had been Wendy's fault. Jeff had known the entire time. Not only had he covered for her, but he had also pinned the blame on me and forced me to clean up her mess.Even after doing all that, Jeff still had not noticed that I had changed. After scolding Wendy a little longer, he sighed helplessly. "Forget it. Everyone knows what your skill level is. I wasn't expecting much from you anyway."Then, he turned toward me, his eyes softening. "Elaine, you're the capable one. I'm sure you can fix this. No matter how difficult the project is or how demanding the client gets, you've always been able to handle it."I was wrong before. Wendy really isn't as capable as you. My wonderful wife is still the best."I was about to refuse when Wendy immediately became jealous. "Jeff, I'm not as bad as you're making me sound!"For once, Jeff did not indulge her. Instead, he snapped sharply, "Enough. Look around. This whole disaster happened because

Jeff stood there in stunned silence after being chewed out over the phone."How is that possible?" he muttered. "We've worked with you so many times. Nothing like this has ever happened before."He was about to explain himself when the call abruptly ended.In the past, I had always handled matters like that. Jeff had never involved himself in the day-to-day operations and acted more like a hands-off owner than a manager.This time, moments after bragging about Wendy's abilities, a disaster exploded in front of everyone.His pride would not let him ask me for help. Instead, he turned to Wendy with a frown. "What happened? I thought you said everything was under control."Wendy's expression was just as ugly. She crossed her arms and huffed angrily. "That client is unbelievable. I worked so hard on those designs. How could he talk about me like that? If they don't want the project, then forget it."Jeff's eyelid twitched with frustration. "That project comes with 100 million dollar

[I left the corsage in the car, but I found it. I'll bring it to you right now.]I had barely finished sending the message when a familiar voice reached my ears."Thank you all for coming to celebrate Wendy's and my wedding..."I turned around. There, standing near the entrance, were Jeff and Wendy greeting guests. Wendy was dressed in a white wedding gown, and a giant wedding portrait of the two of them stood on display outside the banquet hall.Wendy spotted me first. Without hesitation, she grabbed Jeff's chin and kissed the corner of his lips. The surrounding guests erupted into happy cheers.Jeff laughed and wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace. Then, he looked up.The moment our eyes met, he froze. A second later, he abruptly straightened up and deliberately put some distance between himself and Wendy. Wendy pursed her lips, clearly unhappy that his attention had shifted to me. She must have thought I had come to stop the wedding.Seeing so many pe
