His Rejected Wife Became a Billionaire Chapter 54
Keon had no choice but to leave Kimberly alone in the room. He had said every soothing word he knew, but she remained curled into herself and kept crying. He went to find Alice. She was in the dining room, nibbling on bruschetta. She was so relaxed like nothing had happened earlier. “Mom, I saw Joan today.”Alice pushed her plate away and sat upright “Why then isn’t she home with you?” Keon let out a deep exhale and shook his head. He started narrating it all, how wealthy Joan looked, her new found confidence. Alice's eyes narrowed as she listened. The more Keon spoke, the more her face twisted with disbelief. None of his words felt believable to her. “She has no one to help her,” Alice cut in. “How then can she become that wealthy from selling clothes? It's not even up to two months.” “Mom, I was also shocked, but that doesn't matter now,” he paused to clear his throat. He looked her dead in the eye. “What I need you to do now is to apologize to her.” Alice didn't argue, she

Keon's mind was a mess as he drove home. He didn't even bother going to the company, knowing he wouldn't be productive that day.He'd thought Joan had got a job at Langley Corp. But she had actually been building her clothing business. He felt a pang of regret when he remembered the money he'd given her to get started.And now, she was asking for forty percent share before she can return to the company. When the Thompson family only had sixty percent.As he got out of his car and walked into his mansion, he heard loud voices coming from inside, making his stomach drop.There was a heated argument between Alice and Kimberly, and hearing Eliana crying loudly broke his heart.He had thought Kimberly would drive straight to her father's house. That would have been a better decision.He dragged himself inside and found Kimberly's luggage already packed. She was trying to take Eliana from Alice's arms, but Alice wasn't willing to let go of the child.“Good that you're here,” Alice said brea

“No,” Keon said with a frown. “Kimberly is just a friend, nothing more.”“Yes,” Kimberly added, stepping forward. “I’ve only been helping him with Eliana since you left.”Keon was shocked by her response. He hadn't expected Kimberly to cover for him, and in that moment, guilt weighed heavily on his shoulders. After everything he had said and done to her, she was still protecting him.“Oh, so you're now Eliana's nanny.” Joan let out a small chuckle.She crouched to Eliana's height and gently reached for her. The little girl reluctantly moved closer.Joan stroked her cheek gently, a small smile appearing on her face.“You didn't miss Mummy?”Her eyes remained on the little girl's face. Even though Eliana hadn't shown liking for her right from the day she entered her house, she had treated her well. Joan couldn't just erase the bond she had managed to build with her. She had loved her as her own, and a part of her heart still belonged to her.“You know Mummy loves you,” Joan said softly

A wave of guilt slammed into him as he remembered how much Kimberly had sacrificed for him. Was it when she was pregnant with Eliana and no family knew about it, or when she had complications giving birth, yet she still allowed Keon to give Joan the child as an adopted child. Kimberly had stayed with him through thick and thin. It wasn't that Keon's love for her was dying, but the pressure of his family and that AA credit rating clause, wasn't letting him think straight. Without another thought, he grabbed his car keys and bolted out of the office. He jumped into his car and sped out of the company. His eyes remained fixed on the road as he drove, desperate to catch up with Kimberly’s car.Fortunately for him, he sighted her car ahead. He slowed down his pace, his heart began pounding over what words he could possibly use to soothe her again, after he had disappointed her so many times. Kimberly's tears were still flowing freely down her cheeks, her fingers trembling around the

“How did you do it, Melissa?” Vivian asked, swirling the glass of wine.“In all seriousness, I’m proud of you,” Oliver added.“I’ve been telling both of you to trust me,” Melissa replied, a grin spreading across her face.For the next few minutes, they laughed. They talked through how the bidding went down and toasted with sparkling wine, no alcohol, not when they were celebrating right there in Melissa’s office.“We’re all over the news,” Vivian announced, holding up her phone.The news had spread quickly. Everywhere she looked, the news headlines were the same. ‘Summit Enterprises secures the Eric Ltd. contract.’Melissa was getting messages from both family and friends, wanting to know how she had pulled it off.She kept telling them all that her hard work had paid off. But deep down, she knew the real price she had paid had little to do with hard work.Still in the middle of their celebration, someone knocked on the door.“Come in,” Melissa called out and her secretary walked in.

A smirk tugged at Joan's lips at the shock that flashed across both Natalie and Nolan's faces when Justin entered. “Thank you for honoring this emergency meeting,” she began, her voice steady and unwavering. “I’ll start with introductions, since it's obvious not everyone here has met me, and I haven't met everyone either.”One by one, executive directors introduced themselves, followed by the shareholders.“It's nice meeting all of you,” Joan said warmly.“And standing before you today is Joan Evans, the only daughter of Ryder Langley.” Joan's introduction only made anger scorch Nolan's chest. His fingers curled into his thigh, forcing himself to stay composed. Joan saw that, and it only made her smile widen. “Some of the shareholders and directors who had met before do refer to me as Joan Langley. I'm fine with either.” She allowed silence for a moment, her eyes scanning the room. When she was satisfied with their expressions, she continued. “This meeting is called to address t
