All Chapters of Dear Wife, I refuse to divorce you!: Chapter 11 - Chapter 18

Charles shook his head, a cocky smirk dancing on his lips and his wife scoffed in disbelief. “I know you think your position will be secure because of that anonymous helper but I assure you, Priyanka. This time around, the board of directors isn’t messing around. You will be kicked out this time and not even Renee’s ghost can save you.” Jane said and stood up, clutching her purse. Charles followed suit but before leaving, he looked at her one last time. “There’s still time to think about my offer. Don’t make hasty decisions or you might regret it later.” He said and finally exited the office with his wife following behind. Priya sunk into her seat as soon as they left and clutched her head, she was feeling a headache coming. “I can’t continue like this for much longer.” She shook her head. “Where are you, Renee?” **** ONE WEEK LATER (At the Charity Gala) The hall was bustling with people—young and old, all dressed like they were attending a fashion show. Well, it was a

“I never signed the divorce papers, dear wife,” Daniel said with a wide grin.Renee’s eyes twitched and her heart dropped in disappointment. This wasn’t the news she expected.Daniel’s grin widened in expectation. He wanted to see the look of disappointment on her face, maybe a scream or a gasp—any visible reaction but, she did none of that.Instead, she tilted her head and gave him a faint smile. “That’s not a problem, Daniel. I can always make another copy. In my eyes, we are no longer together with or without the divorce papers.” She said and turned to Bryan.“Forgive me, Bryan but we would need to catch up later. I have somewhere important to be.” She said in a razor-sharp tone without smiling and walked away, ignoring Daniel who kept staring at her like a hawk.As soon as she left, he turned to Bryan, fury dancing in his eyes.“I don’t want you talking to my wife.” He said bluntly, his chest heaving.Bryan chuckled slowly and placed his hands in his pocket, his eyes cold and void

Back at the gala hall, Renee sipped her last drink and turned to Priya, glued to her hip. “I need to leave. I don’t think I can stay here much longer.”Priya nodded, fully understanding the situation. “Of course. I’ll go get your purse.”Before she could leave, Renee grabbed her arm, staring at the entrance. “I can’t go out that way.” She said, keeping her voice low.“I barely managed to get in here without being spotted by them. I don’t think I’ll be that successful anymore, especially after that big reveal. I’m sure runouts would have been spreading by now.” She explained.Priya nodded knowingly. “There’s a back exit. I’ll walk you there. Come on.” She said, quickly grabbing Renee’s purse.Without wasting time, she led Renee away from the buzzing crowd and calm music. They walked through a dimly lit hallway, and soon, the echoes of the distant music and chatter from the crowd faded and were replaced by the rhythmic clacking of their heels.Once they arrived at the back door, Renee p

AFTER THE MEETINGThe boardroom slowly emptied, board members whispering among themselves, still trying to digest what they had just witnessed.They had expected drama in the meeting, but not like this. Renee had stepped in and made things chaotic.But, as the room cleared out, one man remained seated at the end of the table…Bryan Taylor of Taylor Industries.He hadn’t taken his eyes off Renee since she walked in. A sly, proud smile stayed on his lips as he watched her take charge of her empire.He waited until Priya stepped out before standing from his seat, and for some reason, Renee remained in the boardroom, waiting for an opportunity to speak to him.“That was impressive.” He said, his voice deep and calm.Renee sighed softly, flashed him a small smile, and stood.“Bryan. I wasn’t expecting to you.” She admitted.She had only been back for two days but had seen Bryan way more than she had since they left high school.“Shareholder, remember?” He reminded, and she nodded slowly.“
