Evelyn POV

By the time I reached the office, my heart was already racing.

I barely made it past the revolving doors before I saw Grace standing rigid at the reception desk, her tablet clutched to her chest like a shield. She looked like she was on the verge of a panic attack.

Instantly, I knew something was wrong.

“Grace,” I said, quickening my steps. “What’s going on?”

"Thank God you're here," she said, grabbing my arm.

That alone made my stomach sink.

“What happened?” I asked.

She leaned in, lowering her voice. "The board arrived almost an hour ago.”

I blinked. “What?”

“They came in without notice. There was no memo, or schedule update, nothing. I thought I’d missed an email, but no, they didn’t send anything. I don't know why they came early or why they didn't call to warn you. They went straight into the fifth-floor conference hall and locked it down. They haven't answered my greetings and rejected my offer of refreshment. Something is very wrong."

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 117: The fallout.

    Evelyn POVI went back into my office and sat down again, feeling more miserable than I had moments before.I'd lost my company. And now I was losing Grace.The door opened again without a knock.Adrian stepped inside, closing the door quietly behind him. He was still wearing his suit jacket, looking every inch the powerful CEO. But his expression was softer than I expected."Come to gloat?" I asked bitterly.Adrian sighed and moved closer. Instead of sitting in the chair across from my desk, he sat on the space of the couch beside me."I'm not like that," he said quietly. "Why would I gloat over this? I only agreed to do this for your sake."My head snapped up. "For my sake?""Yes," Adrian said, his voice earnest. "Evelyn, you're recovering from a serious injury. You're dealing with trauma. The last thing you need is the stress of running a company. Let me handle it. I want to carry this burden for you."I stood up abruptly, my hands clenching into fists. "For my sake? Adrian, the on

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 116: What silence sounds like...

    Evelyn POVI walked into my office like a ghost, moving without purpose or direction. I didn’t really know how my feet were moving.The hallway felt longer than usual. It was quieter, every sound was muted, as if the building itself had decided to hold its breath.When I reached my office, I didn’t bother walking to my desk; I walked straight to the couch by the window and sat down, staring at nothing.My company, my father’s legacy, the thing I’d fought so hard to save was gone. It wasn’t lost, but taken away from me. Strategically, wholly and legally.I didn’t know how long I stayed there—minutes maybe or an hour. Time felt strange, like it had slowed just to mock me.I didn't know how to feel. Anger seemed too small. Despair seemed too dramatic. I was... numb. Floating in a space where emotions couldn't reach me.I couldn’t cry, laugh or scream. I just sat there, my hands resting limply on my lap, my mind refusing to form a single coherent thought. It felt like standing at the edge

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 115: The Orchestration

    Isabella POVGerald watched the short clip with confusion on his face.“Wait? Is this not Adrian’s mom’s party? I remembered seeing Evelyn walking away, and Adrian following suit. So, this is what…”“Exactly,” I cut him short, fighting the tightness in my chest. “They’re still madly in love with each other, and all of these are lovers’ quarrels. If they weren’t still into each other, why is Adrian still her emergency contact?”“Yeah!” Gerald nodded. “I was told Adrian was contacted first.”“Exactly. So, I’m sure, she wouldn’t mind.”Gerald was quiet for a moment, then nodded slowly. "That's... actually not a bad idea."~~~Lilian Hart was next. She was younger, more progressive, but also more ambitious. I approached her differently."I'm worried about Evelyn," I told her over coffee at a trendy café. "The woman has been through so much. The bombing, the recovery, the stress of running a company. What if she burns out? What if the trauma causes her to make poor decisions?"Lilian stare

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 114: Seventy-two Hours Earlier.

    Isabella POVI sighed in relish as the masseuse found a stress point and slathered oil on it, then gently rubbed his hands.I could feel all my stress evaporating from his touch.“You’re so good, Dave!” I murmured, sinking further into the softness of the bed.After weeks of planning, I deserved this at least.I figured that I couldn’t stop the growing attraction between Adrian and Evelyn, especially from Adrian’s side. Although I already had Adrian’s mom slowly warming up to me, I still needed to make sure that Evelyn would never be able to return Adrian’s feelings.This time around, for every action I take, I must make sure there is a motive.For Evelyn, in the past few weeks, she has been working non-stop to ensure her father’s company doesn’t go under, and things were looking good now, which was a perfect opportunity for me to step in.First, I had to cripple Evelyn and to do that, what better candidate than her estranged fiancé?My phone suddenly rang, pulling me out of my though

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 113: Interim CEO Adrian Whitmore.

    Evelyn POV“Let’s begin with the data,” he said. “We’ll start with stock volatility.”A chart lit up behind him, showing peaks and dips over the past six weeks.Gerald leaned forward, folding his hands.“Miss Bennett, since the announcement of your leadership transition, the company’s stock has shown extreme sensitivity.”I frowned slightly. “Sensitivity isn’t the same as instability.”Gerald nodded. “True. But perception drives markets more than reality.”Lilian chimed in, her voice calm but firm.“In the last month alone, your stock has dropped eight per cent, rebounded twelve, then dipped again within forty-eight hours.”“That rebound was due to the Green Valley Project,” I said. “Which I secured.”“And we acknowledge that,” the Chairman said quickly. “But investors are reacting emotionally. Every headline about you causes fluctuations.”“So the issue is not performance?” I scoffed.Lucas sighed.“Yes, markets don’t wait for emotions to calm down, Evelyn. They punish uncertainty.”
