Arlene's POV

I nearly jumped out of my skin when I turned sharply. I immediately moved my hand over the page and began closing the journal, but Judith only laughed when she saw my reaction.

"You don't have to hide it. I've been here for a while.”

I looked at her suspiciously, "You knew I was writing?"

"I know almost everything that happens around here."

I laughed softly, although I still felt slightly embarrassed. Judith walked farther into the room and glanced at the journal in my hands.

  • My Disabled Billionaire Husband    Chapter 137

    Arlene's POVAfter spending a little more time discussing the company's expectations for the partnership, I returned to my office with the proposal Simone had assigned to me.I opened the document and began going through the company's profile, checking its financial background and the details of its previous projects. Most of the information appeared straightforward, and I was already making notes about a few areas that needed clarification when I came across the company's name.Meridian Crest Group.I paused, staring at the words on the screen.Something about the name felt familiar, although I couldn't immediately place it. I scrolled down to the section containing the company's leadership information, intending to continue with my review.Then I saw the name of its chief executive.Tristan.My fingers went still.For a few seconds, I couldn't bring myself to move. I stared at the name again, hoping I had somehow

  • My Disabled Billionaire Husband    Chapter 136

    Arlene's POV I was going through the documents for the partnership programme when Simone called me into his office.He had been reviewing some of the applications we received from smaller businesses interested in working with Gillingham Group, and I was beginning to understand how much work went into selecting the right partners. It wasn't simply about choosing companies with impressive proposals; we also had to consider their financial stability, business plans and whether their goals aligned with ours."One of the companies has finally responded," Simone said as I settled into the chair opposite his desk. He turned his laptop towards me, showing me an email with an attached proposal. "They've expressed serious interest in the partnership programme, and their submission looks promising so far."I leaned forward to examine the document."Have you gone through it?""Briefly, but I'd like you to review it properly. Check their financial records, their business history and what they're

  • My Disabled Billionaire Husband    Chapter 135

    Connor's POVI had spent most of the morning trying to concentrate on the documents sitting on my desk, but my thoughts kept returning to the events of the previous day. I was still irritated by the way Simone had dismissed my concerns, particularly because he seemed completely comfortable allowing Arlene to influence decisions that should have been handled by people with actual experience in the company.What bothered me most was that he didn't appear to see anything wrong with it.I had spent years helping him maintain Gillingham Group while he was away, and although I had never expected him to return and hand over the company to me, I certainly hadn't anticipated being treated like someone whose opinions no longer mattered. Now, every time I turned around, Arlene seemed to be standing beside him, offering suggestions and participating in discussions that had nothing to do with her.It was becoming increasingly difficult to ignore her growing influence.I pushed the documents aside

  • My Disabled Billionaire Husband    Chapter 134

    Simone's POVDinner had ended a little over thirty minutes ago, and Arlene had gone upstairs to freshen up while I remained in the living room, responding to a few messages on my phone. It had been a relatively quiet evening, although I could still remember the conversation we had about Connor earlier that day.I had assured her there was nothing to worry about, but I couldn't completely dismiss what she had told me. Connor's behaviour during their encounter was unusual, especially considering how upset he had been when he came to my office. However, I wasn't going to allow a disagreement at work to become a problem between our families.My phone began ringing just as I was about to put it away, and when I glanced at the screen, I noticed my father's name.I answered and settled further into the sofa. "Good evening, Father.""Good evening, Simone. I hope I'm not interrupting anything.""No, I just finished dinner. Is something wrong?"There was a brief pause before he spoke again."I

  • My Disabled Billionaire Husband    Chapter 133

    Arlene's POVI walked towards Simone's desk, still thinking about the strange encounter I had just had with Connor, while he pushed the documents aside and gave me his full attention."What happened with Connor?" he asked, noticing that I hadn't answered his earlier question about whether everything was alright.I pulled out the chair opposite him and sat down, placing my handbag on the floor beside me."I bumped into him in the hallway when I was coming to your office. I had just taken a gulp of water, and because I wasn't expecting anyone, I nearly choked when we collided."Simone raised an eyebrow. "Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself?""I'm fine. He apologised and even helped me calm down before we started talking." I paused briefly, trying to remember the conversation properly. "I asked him why he wasn't at the board meeting this afternoon, and he said he had stepped out to take care of something and couldn't make it back in time.""That sounds like Connor," Simone remarked, l

  • My Disabled Billionaire Husband    Chapter 132

    Arlene's POVIt was already past five in the evening, and most of the employees had begun leaving the office for the day. I had spent the last few hours reviewing some documents Daniel had sent to me concerning the partnership programme, and although I was still getting used to the amount of work that came with being involved in company affairs, I was beginning to enjoy having something meaningful to contribute.After saving the last document on my laptop, I shut it down and arranged the papers on my desk before picking up my handbag. I also grabbed the bottle of water I had left beside my laptop because I had barely had anything to drink since lunch, and I knew Simone would probably complain if I got into the car looking exhausted again.He was still in his office, finishing up a few things before we could leave together, so I decided to meet him there instead of calling to ask whether he was ready.I took a long gulp of water as I stepped out into the hallway, but I hadn't gone very
