All Chapters of After Divorce, I Married The CEO : Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

Chapter 182It was a sunny Wednesday morning when Xavier received a call from Mann again, and as Xavier answered the phone, he already knew how the conversation was going to turn out.“All things going as planned?" Mann asked first and from his tone, Xavier could tell that he expected a positive response. "As a matter of fact, things are almost spiralling put of control. Someone found out about my plan and now, I have five men involved in the game…”"Five!” Mann exclaimed, just as Xavier had expected. "Too risky," he added.“You don't think I know that?!” Xavier snapped frustratedly and then sighed. After two sleepless nights, he had finally worked out a way to accommodate all the men. The only thing needed now was luck to be on their side when the D-Day came."I'd strangle each of the men in their sleep if I could but that's not an option. We have no time to sit and sulk over the terrible turn of events, so now, I just want to confirm if all the men are ready as well.” “Everything'

184“And how exactly was the fire able to spread so fast? Huh? How?!” The Warden yelled, his hands flailing angrily in the air as he ranted on."If any of you had been wise enough, you could have rushed for the extinguisher immediately! For heaven's sake we have three of them there for a reason!” The Warden's office reverberated with the sound of his voice while more than a dozen inmates hung their heads down with remorseful expressions on their faces.There had been a fire in the prison's laundry room earlier that Sunday morning and it quickly spread, destroying two washing machines in the process. The truth was, the inmates present at that time had searched for the extinguishers but finding none, they resorted to using water. Yet, neither of them said a thing because they would have to explain to the raging Warden that the extinguishers were missing and would undoubtedly be punished for carelessness. Silence was a better option.“Just look at the damage!” He said to the guards in t

186“No, sir, trust me, I completely understand from your perspective… yes, I take full responsibility for what happened, it was a… no, sir, there has never been signs of faulty wiring, it just seemed that…” the Warden said while pacing around his office, wiping off sweat from his forehead with an already damp handkerchief. There was a soft knock on his door and Griffin West came in with two other guards who glanced at each other awkwardly while they waited for the Warden to finish his conversation.“Yes, sir, I understand the budget is very tight this period but this is an emergency for us… no, no, I'm not trying to tell you your job, I'm just explaining the situation…” The call was suddenly dismissed from the other end and the Warden stared at his screen for a few seconds, as though he could not believe someone had just hung up on him.“Fucking bastard! He's still mad I became Warden and not his nephew and now, it's going to take months before they approve our revised budget. Fant

Chapter 188“I really don't understand why you want me to be present so badly," Jane said through her chuckle as she ran her fingers through Caleb's hair while he buried his face in her neck.“Because you're an important member of the board, Jane, and this is a big deal for us. I want you to be a part of it." He replied with a feigned grumpy tone."An important member?” Jane chuckled again, obviously finding humor in his childish behavior. He could be an enigmatic, no-nonsense CEO when he was around others but with her, he was just a hopeless romantic who was ready to burn the world down if that was what it took to make her smile. “I just have that privilege because I'm your wife. Besides, I'm sure the deal can be finalized with or without me." "But I want you to be there,” Caleb finally raised his head to meet her eyes with a pleading look on his face.“How about the kids? I'll have to pick them up from school with the driver." “Not a problem. I'll tell Lillian to help out, she'll

Chapter 190“No, no, it can't be. It just can't be. There's no way we wouldn't be able to find at least one of them. This is the most intense search we have done in a long time,” the Warden complained, his tone heavy with distress. He had called for an emergency meeting to address the issue of the escaped prisoners, and things were not looking good at all."All we could find were tire tracks close to the path where the garbage trucks pass early in the mornings. We're guessing the inmates were in one of the trucks and took off in another vehicle at the intersection,” officer Griffin West explained. "We did investigate all the drivers on duty for that day and none noticed anything fishy. I personally made sure to carry out background checks and, well, it seemed to me that all the men were innocent. The inmates possibly slipped in without their notice." “So there could have been an inside man helping them?" The Warden asked and officer West shrugged.“That's a strong possibility, Warden
