All Chapters of Ex-Wife of a Fool, Now Mrs. Elite: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Cherise didn't think Morgan's way of dealing with the matter was to chew her out in front of everyone and accuse her of not caring about the project, though.She was disappointed in him. She said, "I don't know whether you checked your email, Mr. Sterling, but I sent you something this morning. In it was everything I found out about this data tampering incident. I've found out who the culprit is, but I thought you were more worthy of dealing with them because you're my superior."She still looked calm and composed after speaking.Morgan frowned. "I check my inbox every morning. I didn't see your email. Are you trying to just muddle your way out of things, even at this juncture?"His anger showed no sign of abating, despite the people around them.Cherise was growing weary. She said, "Maybe you want to check it again now."He raised his voice. "Do you think I wouldn't know what's in my inbox? Why are you pushing this to someone else when you're the one at fault? It's already bad e

Behind Cherise, Morgan said impatiently, "Don't make it sound like you're suffering a huge grievance for the company's sake. It was what you were supposed to do. And even if you've produced all of this evidence, I'm not going to help you handle this matter. Deal with it yourself."He didn't spare her another glance before striding into his office.Cherise took a few steps away before stopping and turning back to look at Morgan's office door, which was now tightly shut. The people on his side had pulled this stunt and attacked her, but evidently, none of that meant anything to him.She suddenly thought about what Lucien had said to her. "Although you've been submitting all the evidence you can find to me, I still don't think that you're determined to go through with this. Cherise, I need to verify this one last time. Are you sure you want this divorce?"It was only in that moment that she realized she'd still harbored the slightest sliver of hope in her. If Morgan had seen sense and

Lucien handed Cherise a piece of paper. "Here's the asset breakdown you've submitted to me. If you go through with the divorce, I want to make sure you get all of this."She took it and scrutinized every item. Then, her eyes widened in surprise. "Wait, I can get this much?""It's all due to your hard work and contributions, so why not? Morgan is the one who's benefited from your sacrifices. As long as we present this evidence, this is a sure thing," Lucien said.Cherise was still astonished. "He made many excuses back then…"She trailed off halfway, abruptly realizing that maybe Morgan had just been lying to her all along. She'd never noticed, but it wasn't because she was too dumb or naive. She'd only chosen to turn a blind eye to these things because she cared more about him.She was briefly dazed at that thought."Of course, if you don't want this and want to give them to your ex-husband-to-be, I can—"Cherise interrupted Lucien mid-sentence. "Of course I want it all!"She'd

"Cherise has handled many projects, but her abilities aren't exactly outstanding." Morgan took the opportunity to make Cherise look bad. "She's my wife, after all. I need to give her something to do at the company. How else will she be worthy of the title of Mrs. Sterling?"Eloise felt a slight sting in her chest at his dismissive tone. She inched away so that her body was no longer pressed to Morgan's.A guy with a buzz-cut sitting nearby noticed her actions while taking a chug of his drink. He laughed and said, "My, my. Are you jealous, Ms. War Correspondent? I remember you being really bothered when we mentioned 'Mrs. Sterling' the last time, too."The others laughed along with him. "Think about it, Eloise. You'd be Mrs. Sterling now if you hadn't left the country back then."Eloise bit her lip and said in a small voice, "I didn't think this far back then. And if I hadn't gone abroad to polish my credentials, I would never be worthy of standing beside Morgan…"That was a lie, o

Lucien, still seated in his corner, almost burst out laughing. He hadn't missed any of Morgan's reactions earlier.Whenever Cherise was mentioned, Morgan showed nothing but indifference and disdain. To think he had such a beautiful, outstanding wife with a family background that was considered impressive among ordinary people…Perhaps she was just at a disadvantage because she couldn't reveal most of the information about her family.Still, she and Morgan were married. Could Morgan truly be unaware of his wife's background?That piqued Lucien's curiosity. Just as he looked up, he heard Morgan roar, "What the hell are you talking about? Look, I've had a few drinks, and I want you to come here to pick me up right now! Don't take those rumors seriously—I've yet to mention anything about getting a divorce."He easily seized control of the situation with a few words.Lucien couldn't shake the thought that Morgan obviously didn't want a divorce. Or rather, he didn't want to have his as
