Arlene's POV

I was sitting in my room that afternoon when my phone buzzed. When I glanced at the screen and saw Lilian's name, I smiled faintly before opening the message. I expected another one of her usual chats about work, her children, or something random that had happened during her day. Instead, the first message made my heart stop.

Lilian: You won't believe who I ran into today.

I stared at the screen for a moment before replying.

Me: Who?

Her response came almost immediately.

Lilian: Ve

  • 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

  • My Disabled Billionaire Husband    Chapter 131

    Theodore's POV I was in my bedroom, going through a few documents I had brought home from the office, when my phone began ringing on the bedside table. I glanced at the screen and noticed Connor's name, which surprised me slightly because we had spoken earlier that afternoon about a few pending matters.I answered the call and settled against the headboard, expecting him to bring up something concerning the company."Good evening, Father. Is everything alright?""How can anything be alright when Simone is behaving like this?" he snapped before I could say anything else.I frowned, pulling the phone away from my ear for a moment before placing it back. "What are you talking about?""Your son has completely lost his mind, Father. I honestly don't know what has gotten into him since he returned, but somebody needs to speak to him before he ruins everything."I sat up, abandoning the documents in my hands. Connor rarely called me in such a state, and although I knew he had been strugglin
