Semua Bab Overflowing Affection From My Billionaire Uncle-in-Law Turned Husband: Bab 361 - Bab 370

In fact, everyone had long noticed that there seemed to be constant tension between William and Haley. Although Haley usually treated William with professional courtesy, it was strictly limited to work. Outside of that, she often had an attitude that practically screamed, "Stay away from me."Yet, for some reason, William kept trying to get close to her.In the conference room, Haley sat back in her chair, her gaze cool as she looked at William. "Go ahead, what do you want?""Miss Haley, there's no need to act like I'm a threat. I'm not going to eat you," William said, his hands casually resting on the table, a smile playing on his lips. When he smiled, his whole demeanor seemed gentle, and his eyes appeared harmless. But Haley knew better that this was all just a facade."I don't have time for small talk. If you have something to say, get to the point," Haley replied, tapping her pen lightly on the table, producing a crisp sound.William did not hesitate and said, "I just want

Not receiving her friend's blessing, Jenny pouted unhappily. "What? Do I look like someone who would joke about this?"Hearing this, Haley realized she had overreacted and quickly adjusted her emotions. "Jenny, that's not what I meant. It's just hard to believe, especially since you only recently made your relationship official, right?"She knew Jenny too well. Every time she fell in love, she ended up heartbroken, crying in Haley's arms. If it were anyone else, Haley would not be so concerned, but it was William. He was a man she could not figure out. Was he genuinely interested in Jenny, or did he have ulterior motives? She feared that Jenny would get hurt.Blushing, Jenny said, "Actually, we had already been intimate before we officially got together. I got drunk one night and... well..."That night, she had been feeling down because her parents had called to ask for money. When she refused, they cursed at her over the phone, using every foul word imaginable, treating her like

William lowered his gaze, a fleeting emotion flickering in his eyes before he smiled and gently placed his hand over Jenny's. "What's wrong? Are you upset?""Yeah, I went to several job interviews today, but I haven't heard back from any of them."Jenny was different from Haley. Not only did she come from a less fortunate background, but her academic performance was also average. Luck had never seemed to favor her. If she were to count her blessings, there were only three. The three blessings were becoming best friends with Haley, getting accepted into Jasper City University, and meeting William.William was kind and considerate. After they got together, he did not mind her lack of a privileged background and was even willing to live with her in this small apartment. He was the brightest light in her dark world, and she clung to that light with all her might.William held Jenny's hand and turned to embrace her. "It's okay. Even if you can't find a job, I can take care of you."

"Mr. Green, here's your pen."Henry reached out and took it, letting out a small scoff. "At least you have some sense, but you should know, fresh graduates don't stand a chance in a big company like ours."Jenny bit her lip, feeling a bit down. Was she going to be rejected again? But she gathered her courage, her tone firm. "Experience is built up little by little. I believe I can do this job. Please give me a chance to prove myself."Henry tapped the pen lightly on the table twice, chuckling. "A chance? Do you think our company is a charity? Skywise is looking to climb higher, and we need the best of the best."His words were harsh, practically spelling out, "You're not qualified."A strong sense of inferiority and humiliation surged in Jenny's heart. She took a deep breath and looked up at him. "Mr. Green, I may not be perfect, but there's no need to make me feel worthless. If your company is so arrogant, then I don't need to lower myself to beg for this job."With that, she

"Since when did Jenny belong to his wife?" he thought to himself. "Clearly, it should be me!"Shane raised his eyes, his cold gaze sweeping over the employees in the meeting room. He mouthed the words, "Meeting adjourned!"The employees, catching his icy glare, shivered and quickly scattered. They suspected he wanted to say "Get out!" instead of "Meeting adjourned."Sensing that the meeting was over, everyone promptly left, leaving Shane alone in the room."What did Henry do?" he asked.Haley angrily relayed everything Jenny had told her. "I know their interviews are strict, but this is too much. Is he bullying our Jenny because she doesn’t have anyone to protect her?"Shane listened quietly, his irritation growing with each word.My Jenny. Our Jenny. He had never heard such terms of endearment from Haley, and now Jenny had gotten there first. Jenny, huh? He’d remember her.Jenny, preparing to send her resume to the next company, suddenly sneezed. She rubbed her nose and turn
