Synopsis

Winning Back the Husband

Mistress

Bias

Tragic Love

Marriage

When I was seven years old, a handsome man Mom brought home gave me a box of mangoes. That day, Dad watched me happily eating the mangoes as he signed his name on the divorce agreement. Then, he jumped to his death. From that day on, mangoes became a lifelong nightmare for me. So, on our wedding day, I told my wife, Irene Johnson, "If you ever want a divorce, just give me a mango." She held me without saying a word. From that moment on, mangoes became forbidden for her as well. … On the fifth Christmas Eve after we got married, Irene's childhood sweetheart, Steven Carter, placed a mango on her desk. That same day, she announced that she was cutting ties with him and fired him from the company. That day, I felt that she was the woman destined for me. ... Six months later, I return from overseas after closing a billion-dollar deal. At the celebration dinner, Irene hands me a drink. After I drink half of it, Steven, the man who was kicked out of the company, stands behind me and grins. "Is the mango juice good?" he asks. I look at Irene in disbelief, but she is holding back a laugh. "Don't be mad. Steve insisted I play a joke on you. I didn't give you a mango, just a bottle of its juice. "But I think Steve is right. There's something wrong with you for not eating mangoes. Look at how much you enjoyed it just now!" she says. I keep a cold expression, raise my hand, and splash the remaining mango juice onto her face. Then, I turn and walk away. Some things are never a joke. Mangoes aren't, and neither is my decision to divorce.

Chapter 1

"Mr. White, your stomach condition has flared up due to stress-induced triggers.

"From now on, don't consume any food that you dislike. Otherwise, it might not just be a stomachache the next time. You could end up having part of your stomach removed.

"Stay in the hospital for a day's observation, and make sure to let your family know to come as soon as possible."

I went quiet after hearing the doctor.

For a new project, I worked day and night abroad for 39 days straight and finally made it home safely. I never expected that a glass of mango juice from Irene Johnson at the celebration dinner would send me straight to the hospital.

I instinctively opened the pinned chat. I had just typed two words when something felt off.

After taking a careful look, I confirmed that it was Irene, but she had changed her profile picture to a green mango.

Just as I was staring blankly at the chat window, Irene's call came through. Her voice on the phone was icy. "I'm home. Where are you?"

I stayed quiet. In the past, I would have forgiven her immediately, pretending nothing had happened and moving on with the conversation.

But tonight, I had no idea what to say.

Irene grew annoyed. "Jason White, how long are you going to keep making a scene?"

"I'm at the hospital."

She fell silent. She had never cared about my health, and she could never have imagined that a single glass of her mango juice would land me straight in the hospital.

"Wait for me at the hospital. I'm coming right away," she said.

I didn't want to deal with her, yet my weakened body kept me from moving.

Time slipped by.

The doctor came to check on me three times, but Irene still hadn't shown up.

Just before falling asleep, I checked my phone one last time and saw Steven Carter's post that said, "Every time I get hurt, my little princess shows up like magic. It's so nice."

The photo showed Irene putting a bandage on him.

Steven's profile picture was a yellow mango. It was pretty, yet it made me feel sick.

Chapter 2
We had known each other for a decade, and Irene had always known my limits. She had spent years in the business world and always knew how to handle herself around other men. But now, she crossed the line again and again.If that was how things were, then our relationship was over. The latest project I had been handling was no longer needed either. It was a billion-dollar deal in Eurentia, one that could decide the company's fate.…When I woke up the next morning, Irene hadn't sent a single message, nor had she called.I wasn't angry either. After the checkup came back fine, I went straight home. It was a five-thousand-square-foot luxury villa that Irene and I had fully paid for last year.Seven years ago, when we graduated, we squeezed into a basement and shared a single bowl of instant oatmeal.Five years ago, when we got our marriage certificate, we grabbed some cheap street food from a small vendor and then went home with a tiny four-inch cake.And now, I could only tend t

After Irene finished speaking, she paused and looked at me seriously. "Don't worry. This time I'll introduce you properly, and I won't let Steve interfere."I looked up at her with a calm glance. I knew very well that this was her way of making up for what happened the night before.But that was fine. The cancellation of the deal in Eurentia would take a few days to process anyway. Announcing it on the day of the press conference would work perfectly.…In the evening, I went to the restaurant early, just as I always did. After seven years together, it had become almost a habit.While I was waiting, I received a call from overseas. It was Ashley Walker, my opponent in the last negotiation, and also my senior.Ashley's voice was warm as she said with a smile, "Jay, have you thought about my offer for you to join DM Group? Johnson Corporation is still too small and doesn't deserve someone of your caliber."This was her third attempt to recruit me.The first time was seven years e

After all, the project was a gift for my new employer, so I couldn't afford any mistakes. I buried myself in work at the office, working nonstop through the nights.My coworkers noticed and started whispering among themselves in the group chat that I was not in."See, I told you so. Mr. White only makes five thousand dollars a month. He relies on Ms. Johnson for everything. How did he even have the nerve to throw a fit?""The company is doing so well now. If it weren't for his connection with Ms. Johnson, we wouldn't even need him here.""I heard that back when Ms. Johnson was starting the company, he was the one holding her back. Otherwise, the company would have gone public years ago."Steven screenshotted every one of those messages and sent them to me privately. He pretended to comfort me. "Jason, I know that marrying someone as capable and sharp as Irie must make you feel insecure. But I have to tell you, a man who only knows how to work can't attract women. They still pref

Irene knew exactly how much I had sacrificed for the Eurentia project, yet she still handed it to Steven to force me into backing down.My phone buzzed with a new message from her. "You still have a chance to admit that you were wrong."I didn't reply. I set my phone down and went to wash up.She seemed to forget that I was the one who secured the Eurentia project. The partner didn't care about the company—they only trusted me.…After washing up, I went downstairs to grab some breakfast. When I returned, I found that all my things had been thrown out of the office.My mug and files had been tossed out, and the signed divorce agreement was torn in half. The only thing left was the wedding photo of Irene and me, set carefully on the balcony.Steven sat proudly in my chair, a mocking grin on his face. "Sorry, Jason. Irie already gave me this office. You can take that spot over there from now on."He pointed smugly toward the storage room by the restroom, where water was leaking.

"What?"Irene stared blankly for a moment. She was stunned and unable to believe what she had heard. Everyone in the room understood exactly what an early project announcement meant, especially Irene, who had spent years navigating the business world.Steven's face went pale. That deal was worth a billion dollars. Without the Eurentia order, the company might not even be able to stay afloat, and his dream of being the CEO's husband would end after just a single day.He cast a worried look at Irene, only to see her frozen in place, unable to say a word.Irene still couldn't believe that I would be so heartless as to go this far. A crowd of reporters thrust their microphones toward her, yet she remained silent, frozen like a statue, and nearly lost her balance.I had always been tolerant of her over the years, so she never imagined I could be this ruthless now.My birthday had just passed, and for some reason, Irene suddenly remembered our first birthday celebration together at the

"Ms. Johnson, I heard that DM Group secured the deal because they poached a key figure from your company. Could you clarify this?" a reporter asked."Hello, Ms. Johnson. We've been told that you had a very close relationship with the former manager, Mr. White. And the man by your side, Mr. Carter, is rumored to have interfered in your relationship with him and taken his place. It even drove him to leave the company. Is that true?"The barrage of aggressive questions left Irene unable to answer. What was even more terrifying was that the questions these reporters asked, along with the rumors they knew, were not only sharp but also true.They fired off questions so quickly that Irene never even got a chance to defend herself.Besides, I handled this matter too ruthlessly. If she wanted to salvage the company's reputation, the only way was to bring me back and let me take over the Victoria project again. There was no other solution.With the help of the secretary and security, Irene

Irene's expression darkened. Then, she asked, "And what else?""And the post you made a few days ago that included a photo with Mr. Carter."The assistant's voice grew softer and softer until it was barely audible, but everyone still understood exactly what she meant. At that moment, Steven finally snapped out of his daze. He stepped out from the corner and grabbed the assistant. His voice was half questioning and half scolding. "What did you just say? That bastard Jason! Who gave him permission to do that?"Since Steven had the nerve to interfere in someone's relationship, he should have known that once it all came out, he'd be buried under the public's scorn. My post on social media had practically confirmed their affair. Then, taking the Victoria project with me wouldn't have made me seem ruthless to the public. On the contrary, they would have seen me as clever and someone who always got even.As soon as Steven finished speaking, Irene slapped him hard. The blow was so st

Irene never had to put in any effort, so how could she ever need to ask anyone for favors?I suddenly grew curious about what other cutting words might come out of her mouth, a mouth that never spoke anything kind, so I stopped trying to pull my hand away. Instead, I headed to a nearby cafe and set my stopwatch, waiting for the ten minutes I had agreed to give her."Jay, where have you been all this time? Do you have any idea how long I've been looking for you?"Irene was still the same as before, always full of sweet words. Back when I publicly took the Victoria project with me and changed jobs, even a fool could have figured out where I was, let alone her. She really stopped at nothing to show her deep affection.I sneered and glanced at my watch. "If all you're going to say is this kind of nonsense, I don't think we need to waste the next eight minutes."Irene was momentarily at a loss for words. She sulked, insisting, "Jay, there's no need for us to be so confrontational. I re

"I'm sorry, Jay. I didn't know what you went through. I was wrong in the past. "Please forgive me. It's my fault. You can hit me. Go ahead and hit me," Irene said, grabbing my hand and striking herself with it.Her dragging and pulling made my anger boil over, so I slapped her without hesitation and snapped, "Have you had enough of this nonsense? I'm not saying this to make you admit you were wrong. I'm telling you that it's over between us."The mango was my bottom line. You crossed it for Steven, and that means there's no chance for us anymore. Do you understand?"Yet she seemed genuinely unable to understand. She replied with immense sorrow, "So you hate me that much? You hate me enough to take the Victoria project away and ruin Johnson Corporation, the company we built together. Is that how you planned to get back at me?"I replied, "You're overthinking it. I was in charge of the Victoria project from the start. It was only natural for me to take what's mine. Stop clinging to
