All Chapters of Divorced, Dazzling, and Desired: Chapter 411 - Chapter 420

At that moment, Alison seemed to see her beautiful future with Ben.Knowing that it was pointless to say more, and worried about staying in touch for too long, Renee hung up after a few brief exchanges.She then stared at her empty office, her heart feeling just as desolate.She had Alison and Adam around her for years now, and she had a hard time getting used to it when they were all suddenly apart.Thud, thud.Someone knocked on the door, and Candy soon entered, with her handbag already slung over her shoulder. "Something on your mind?" Candy asked."Nope." Renee came to her senses and moved to the couch, and she smiled as she saw that Candy had put on a lot of makeup. "Going on a date?"Candy pursed her lips as if guilty. "No way—I'm just meeting up with friends. Anyway, I'm going now—I probably won't come home tonight.""What, really?" Renee was surprised."Hehe," Candy giggled. "It's a long lost friend finally visiting Harborview City for once—gotta go wild for once, ri

Smiling faintly, Renee said, "Sorry to keep you waiting. Got a little busy.""Oh, it's fine. There's nothing more mundane than waiting for a little," he said, reaching to the backseat for a bouquet of flowers and shoving it into her arms. "Here. For you."It was a bouquet of blue roses, adorned with eucalyptus leaves and baby's breath.While it looked good, Renee thought it felt heavy, if not downright scalding in her palms.She hadn't received flowers over the last few years as she was married to Adam, and romance really died with marriage.However, she really couldn't feel happy the way any girl would after receiving flowers.Still, she was polite enough to tell him, "Thank you.""You're welcome." William nodded with a sharp gaze at her face.That was when he reached out and groped her thigh, sending her jerking and smacking it away. "Mr. Xavier!"William took off his shades, raising a brow as he clicked his tongue. "What? You're going to be mine soon, and don't you know tha

However, as Harken Capital grew, Martin was forced to leave as he was the smallest shareholder.But even as they were rising to new heights, the founders' abrupt illness and death promptly sent the company's performance on a downward spiral.With multiple investments soon ending in failure, they were unable to resurge to their past glory days.With executives starting to jump ship with their respective confidants, failing finances, and the banks they loaned from breathing down their necks, the remaining shareholders eventually broke under pressure and decided to sell their company.Still, William remained curious. "Why Harken Capital?"Renee shrugged. "I've been eyeing them for a long while. I just don't have what it takes to acquire them."As she finished, the waiter came with their food and poured them wine.Picking her glass up and taking a sip, Renee then said, "I'm sure you're aware how men aren't all that reliable, only thinking that what they hold in their hands is theirs

Luke stared at the documents under Jasper's palm and told him in a good-natured manner, "Sir, this situation is really serious, and the company can't really stand without you…""Oh, does my word hold no authority now?" Jasper looked up sharply at Luke right then, his glare so cold that it would send chills down anyone's spine."Sorry, sir. I'll book the flight ticket," Luke replied, nodding."Don't you dare!"However, that was when the door opened, and Quincy strode in menacingly with Yvie in tow.Pointing at Jasper, she snapped, "The company is in the middle of a crisis, and not only are you not working hard, but you're going to Harborview City?! Have you lost even your sense of priorities?!"Jasper scowled at her in turn. "What are you doing here?""Hah! What, you don't want me to be here so you can do whatever you want, huh?!" Quincy snapped, slamming the bowl she brought loudly on his desk. "Yvie spent four hours making this soup because we're worried you'll be tired. See?!

Knowing that she couldn't hide it from Jasper, Yvie nodded as she admitted, "Yes, but we grew apart because of a misunderstanding and didn't contact each other until we met again at Everest Group's office."In fact, Renee had personally warned Yvie when she called to ask about Jasper's situation, and they both made sure to corroborate their story to lie flawlessly.Naturally, Jasper had no reason to pry on something that drove two ladies apart, but his eyes remained glued on Yvie for a while.Eventually, he smiled faintly as he stood up."I just didn't expect you ladies to know each other," he said, picking up his coat and putting it on.Then, turning to Luke, he said, "I'll try to get back soon. In the meantime, you're going to have to deal with my folks.""Sure thing, boss," Luke replied, nodding.He felt sympathy for Renee in this situation after getting to know her.It was hard not to, when she was kind and always looking to improve herself, but always suffering from many o
