Mr. Xing didn't look pleased.

Richard stood beside his desk, looking as though he had personally been betrayed by my existence. Lena was waiting outside the office, and just before I stepped inside, she'd whispered a quick, "Good luck."

I knew I would need more than luck.

Mr. Xing pushed his tablet across the desk towards me.

"Is this the kind of reputation you intend to give X Holdings?"

I lowered my eyes to the screen. The headline was impossible to miss, and neither was the phot

  • The Billionaire's Plump Chef    CHAPTER 153

    Arnold My sides hurt. I shifted my weight and rolled onto my back, but the movement only made things worse. The bed creaked beneath me, its thin mattress offering little comfort. It felt as though my body was lying directly against a sheet of metal. I frowned and tried to adjust my position. Where the hell was I? I opened my eyes, but the room was pitch-black. I couldn't make out anything beyond the faint outline of what appeared to be a small table beside the bed. My head throbbed, and my mouth felt unpleasantly dry. I sat up slowly, wincing as another wave of pain travelled through my side. "Jesus Christ," I muttered. I ran a hand over my face, trying to gather my thoughts. The last thing I remembered was being at a hotel with Lydia. We had planned to meet there, have a few drinks and spend some time together. But this place certainly didn't look like any hotel I would willingly book. I pushed myself off the bed and stood unsteadily. A thin streak of light filtered through w

    Kylie I pressed my ear against the door. "This could be the greatest discovery of the century, Doc!" I heard Steven exclaim, followed by a loud burst of laughter. Another man joined him, and from the sound of their voices, it seemed there were only two people in the room. "A drug that can suppress memories permanently. This is exactly what I needed." My heart began to race. A drug to suppress memories? I quickly pulled out my phone and tapped the recording button. Thankfully, Steven wasn't done talking. "All I need to do is make sure he takes this daily, right? And you're promising me that he won't suddenly remember that he was fired as CEO and was on the verge of running away with that plump chef?" I froze. Jordan had been prepared to abandon everything for that woman? His family, his position, his responsibilities? Apparently, Marie Sue had meant much more to him than I had imagined. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "I assure you, Mr. Kensington," the doctor replied

    Kylie I straightened and adjusted my shirt. I had no desire to return to that table, but my bag was still there, and I couldn't very well leave it behind. As I studied my face in the mirror, I wondered how much I would care about people's opinions when they found out I was trying to become Jordan's wife again. After a moment, I realised the answer was simple: not at all. I didn't care what anyone thought. Arnold had proven time and again that he was useless, and I was done with him. I turned and walked out of the bathroom. The café was gradually getting noisier as workers trickled in for their daily shots of coffee and quick breakfasts. I weaved between the tables until I reached our seat. Harrison had finished eating and was now scrolling idly through his phone. I reached for my bag. "Thank you for your time, Officer Harrison. It was a pleasure speaking with you." "The pleasure is all mine, Mrs. Brentwood." A faint smile played on his lips. I couldn't help noticing that his e

    Kylie I managed to find the officer I was looking for just as he changed out of his uniform and into his civilian clothes. He was standing and sipping a cup of coffee, looking every bit like a man who had worked the night shift and was eager to put the day behind him. He smiled pleasantly when he saw me. "Mrs. Kensington?" I extended my hand for a handshake. "No. I'm known as Mrs. Brentwood." "Oh?" He raised an eyebrow. I laughed lightly, as though his confusion amused me. I'd gotten that a lot when I introduced myself to people. Perhaps it was a way to tell them that I wasn't crazy about the Kensington's name. "I understand your confusion. I'm actually married to Arnold Kensington, but I've chosen to retain my maiden name,” I explained. He nodded, though I couldn't tell whether he was genuinely interested or simply too tired to ask any more questions. "I wanted to see you yesterday, Officer, but I was tied up at the hospital and couldn't find a moment to stop by,”

    Arnold After leaving the hospital, I had too many questions on my mind, and I didn't believe Kylie's side of the story. Everything seemed too convenient. Besides, I could tell there was more to what had happened between her and Maya, but I had no intention of confronting Kylie until I understood the situation better. My first priority was to see Lucy. Mum had decided to stay at the hospital so she could be there when Jordan woke up in the morning. Kylie had offered to stay as well, which I found strange, though perhaps not as strange as the fact that Jordan had apparently lost his memories of the last two years. I couldn't begin to imagine what that meant for him or for the rest of us. "I'll check in tomorrow," I said, hugging Mum before leaving. Kylie had already settled into a chair beside Jordan's bed and barely acknowledged me as I said goodbye. I found her behavior odd, but I didn't have the energy to question it. There were more pressing matters to deal with, and Lucy's arre

"Is this the kind of reputation you intend to give X Holdings?" I lowered my eyes to the screen. The headline was impossible to miss, and neither was the photograph beneath it. My face stared back at me, accompanied by words that made me look like a criminal who had spent years perfecting her craft. Something inside me wanted to remind him of what he'd told me the day we first discussed the publicity surrounding our project. ‘There's no such thing as bad publicity.’ But I wisely kept that thought to myself. "Miss Sue, our stakeholders are not pleased," Richard grunted. Mr. Xing frowned at the tablet. "Do you have any idea how much damage this co
