บททั้งหมดของ Second Chance at Love: From Divorcee to the Billionaire's Bride: บทที่ 351 - บทที่ 360

"This morning, Mr. Thomas confronted me and asked if I was colluding with you to undermine Felfast."Felfast had developed a new car model based on Joey's designs and concepts, but it lacked the performance of Hanque's new model.Felfast had high expectations for their model and raised its price accordingly. However, they didn't anticipate that Hanque's new model would surpass theirs and overshadow their offering.Hanque's new model had a breakthrough in sales, gaining popularity and boosting sales of their other models. In contrast, Felfast's new model only sold well for a few days before sharply declining, affecting their other models as well. Felfast, which had been on an upward trajectory, lost this round to Hanque, causing fluctuations in their stock price.As the decision-maker at Felfast, Mr. Thomas hurriedly launched their new model alongside Hanque's without fully understanding their competitor's product. His failure to assess the risks called into question his competence,

Luke treated me, his employee, much better than Joey!Being Luke's friend or employee was fine, but being his romantic interest would be maddening!I felt a twinge of sympathy for Joey. After some thought, I suggested, "Ms. Parker, if you're scared, I could take you to Jon's place."Jon had a live-in caretaker; Joey might feel safer there with company."It's so late. My brother and the caretaker are already asleep. I don't want to disturb them," Joey replied, her gaze fixed on Luke, hoping for some response.Luke stood with one hand in his pocket, not turning around.Disappointment flickered in Joey's eyes. "I'll lock the door securely and sleep lightly," she said dejectedly."Take care," I said, stepping out towards the elevator. I wasn't close enough to Joey to stay and keep her company.Luke followed me, closing the door behind us, cutting off Joey's view.In the elevator, I hesitated, wanting to ask Luke why he didn't stay with Joey.Luke, seeming to read my thoughts, sai

However, I wondered if Luke had considered the consequences of their traveling together. If news of their trip got out, it could confirm rumors about their relationship and worsen Felfast's resentment towards Joey.It was perplexing how someone as typically cautious as Luke could be so careless when it came to matters of the heart. At least he hadn't gone as far as booking Joey a first-class seat with him.I had taken care of booking Luke's ticket and had arranged a business class seat for myself. Joey's seat was across the aisle from mine. She turned towards me, striking up a conversation and asking about the purpose of our visit to Brookshire."Mr. Walker will explain the purpose of this trip to you at a later time, Ms. Parker," I replied politely.Luke would discuss with Joey the details of Jon's systematic education, as her consent was required."Is your trip related to me?" Joey's face lit up. "You're staying at the Brookshire Hotel, right? I'm in room 1304. It's my first tim

"Jen, it's just a coincidence. You don't need to thank me!" Penelope said, not taking any credit. She also refrained from commenting on Joey's actions, which touched me even more.Despite her own hardships, Penelope never passed her suffering onto others. She approached everyone with kindness and equanimity. In my eyes, she had become the embodiment of goodness.Not just me, but Wendy also praised her highly, even suggesting she'd introduce Penelope to a successful, gentle-natured boyfriend.I teased, "Wendy, you love matchmaking so much. If you ever quit PR, you could become a professional matchmaker.""I'd only play matchmaker for those closest to my heart, which right now is just you and Penelope! I wouldn't bother for anyone else!" Wendy retorted.Given Wendy's connections, her introductions would surely be promising young men. "I thank you on Penelope's behalf," I said."Don't thank me yet. She may seem gentle, but her actions show she's quite strong-willed. She might alread

From his expression and eyes, I could see that he was very hungry, yet still trying to maintain his dignity.I pushed the pie towards him. "If you don't know the way, perhaps you could tell me about Brookshire's culture and customs instead!"I was determined to give him the pie one way or another."That I'm familiar with," he said, wiping his hands on his clothes before taking the pie. After a bite, he looked at my empty hands. "You gave me your pie. What will you eat?""I'll buy another one," I said, going to purchase two more pies and a cup of milk, worried that one wouldn't be enough for him."It's too much. One pie is plenty," he protested, eating slowly despite his obvious hunger."You'll get thirsty with just the pie. The drink will help," I explained."Well, if you insist," he said gratefully, accepting the milk.We moved to a nearby bench. I wiped it clean with a tissue from my bag.He sat on the edge, careful not to dirty my clothes.After he finished eating, I offer
