His Rejected Wife Became a Billionaire Chapter 46
Joan's eyes became heavy. She slumped into the chair, legs splaying out wide under the table as a loud belch escaped her throat. She grabbed the empty bottle, wanting to set it on the floor, but her hand missed. The bottle hit the ground with a loud crack and shattered into pieces.That got Tristan's attention. His head jerked toward her, eyes narrowing as he hurried back to the table. “Damn,” Tristan muttered, pulling her upright by the shoulders. “Why are you doing this to yourself,” he frowned. Joan let out a low, drunken laugh. “You can't understand,” she waved a hand, almost hitting Tristan in the face. “It was a signed agreement and that boy…Nolan…he won. I lost the contract, so he’ll take the company?“How is he taking the company from you?” Tristan dragged a chair closer, eyes locked on hers.Joan didn't answer immediately. Her eyelids fluttered like she was about to drift off. Tristan was patient, watching her in silence. Even though she was disheveled, her hair was a m

It was 4:30 p.m. on the same day, and Joan was standing in front of the mirror, carefully pulling her hair into a sleek ponytail, accessorizing it with the expensive hair clips she got during her last shopping spree.After she was done getting dressed, she took her time to admire herself in the mirror. She had on the white gown Tristan had gifted her, along with one of the pairs of heels and a set of jewelry he had gotten for her.Just in time, Kendra came to inform her that the chauffeur was already waiting outside.“You look absolutely beautiful,” Kendra said with a small, warm smile.“Thank you,” Joan replied softly, returning the smile.The chauffeur brought the car to a stop in front of the Blake's restaurant.Joan could feel her heart flutter as she stepped out and walked inside, unable to keep the smile off her face. A staff member quickly approached her. “Good evening, ma’am. You must be Joan?”“Yes,” Joan nodded.“Right this way, ma’am.” The staff member led her through the

Tristan's lips curled up in a smile as he read Joan's response. He closed his laptop, packed up his desk and got up to leave.He had planned to get more birthday gifts for her if he received a positive response from her.He moved to his closet and pulled out a simple black shirt and trousers off the rack. He ran his fingers over his beard, pocketed his wallet, and dashed out of the house.“Drive me to the best gift store in the city,” he said as he settled into the back seat.Throughout the drive, his mind kept going over what to give her. He had no idea what she would like, and he didn't want to involve Helen anymore. He wanted to do this himself.The car pulled up in front of one of the city's luxury stores, a large building with glass walls and floor to ceiling windows.As he stepped inside, he was greeted by a spacious and elegant interior. Clothes, handbags, shoes, perfumes, and different kinds of luxury items filled each section.That was when he regretted coming alone. He was

The alarm rang out through the quiet morning, vibrating loudly against the nightstand.Joan's eyes slowly opened. She dragged herself up, stretched and yawned into her palm before reaching for her phone to silence the alarm.The lock screen stared back at her, and her eyes landed on the date. She stared at it for a long time till her eyes began to burn with tears. It was her birthday.A day she had wished the universe could erase. A day that only reminded her of the most important person she had ever had.Joan had never enjoyed her birthdays. She had never received birthday wishes since her mother died, not even from Keon. During the three years they were married, Keon had never remembered her birthday unless she reminded him. Even then, his wishes always felt reluctant.Her fingers tightened around the phone, jaw clenched as she stared at the date again.Her mother had died on this day.She leaned back against the bed frame, tears lingering in her eyes as the memory resurfaced.She

Joan's mind raced. ‘Could Britney have tampered with the projector?’‘How did she even know I was bidding for a contract here?’The questions kept running through her mind, but she couldn't find answers to any, so she decided to confront her.Fortunately, their elevators arrived at the same time. The moment the doors opened, Joan quickly stepped away from Helen and Ivy and hurried toward Britney.“Hi. Good to see you again,” she said with a forced smile.Britney's brows furrowed as she stared at Joan as though she had never seen her before.“I don't remember seeing you before.”Joan's brows drew together, “Really?” “Please, get out of my way. I just said I don't know you,” Britney said, brushing past her.Joan's fists clenched as she watched her walk away, her stomach twisting. She forced out a breath and returned to Helen and Ivy. “What's wrong?” Helen asked, concern etched across her face.“I thought she was someone I knew, but apparently I was mistaken,” Joan replied, already wa

It was finally the day of the presentation.Joan woke up earlier than usual and was already ready an hour before the scheduled time.With time on her side, she sat on the edge of the bed with the proposal open on her lap and started to go through it again. After which she said a short prayer.She was about to get up to grab her blazer when her phone rang. It was Titan calling.“My brilliant CEO,” Titan teased, making a small smile spread across Joan's face despite her racing heart.“I don't know why this scares me more than my first board meeting with Langley's shareholders.”“Because this involves you getting a million-dollar contract,” Titan said. “But I trust you. You're brilliantly exceptional.”For the next five minutes, Titan made sure to pour confidence into Joan. By the end of the call, Joan felt steady again. Before she dropped her phone, she texted Richmond to let him know she was already on her way to Eric Ltd. Although he wasn't in the country at that moment, Joan made it
