All Chapters of She Asked For A Divorce, He Panicked: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Lacy put Ian back in his room and tucked him up. Then he looked for lullabies on Spotify. He pressed play on the first one, and the sound of soothing piano notes filled the room. "Time to sleep." Ian played with his blanket. "That's not the right one." Lacy then attempted a different tune. "Not that one either," Ian said. Lacy played thousands of lullabies on his bike, but Ian turned them all down, even though he was angry. The child didn't seem to be becoming sleepy; instead, he seemed more sober. Ian muttered, "Dad, I'm getting sleepy now. You can go to sleep. I'm going to sleep soon." Lacy knew that was a lie, but he didn't say anything. He shut the door and turned off the lights. He called Remi when he got back to his room. Not a surprise; it went directly to voicemail. He sent Bernice a message asking whether she was free tomorrow. [Could you come and hang out with Ian?]Bernice was already in the main room of Web villa the next morning. Lacy noticed her seated with Ian w

Remi moved her chair closer to his desk. "First, you stole Craig, and then you hurried to throw a reception for market research. You really want my Game Fest, don't you? You can't have it, so you copy it? No, let's just call it what it is: stealing.”Lacy looked at her in shock. "What's going on?" "Just give an answer." He said with a smirk, "The Web Group doesn't need money, and gaming isn't our main business. Do you honestly believe it's worth it to copy your small game?”Remi looked closely at his eyes. He was cold, haughty, and self-righteous as always, but she didn't see any lies. She calmly turned her look away. "Keep in mind what you said today. Every time you tried to hurt me? I let it go. Not because I was terrified, but because I wanted to. This game? My team worked hard for it. If you ruin it, I promise I'll burn you to the ground. I always do what I say I'll do.” With that, she turned to leave, her face blank. Lacy’s forehead creased as he felt something was wrong. "Wh

"Shouldn't I be asking that, Mr. Drew?" Remi laughed. "Do you know why the introduction of Game Fest was pushed back? There was a carbon copy on another platform an hour before the drop.”Her old coworkers were completely confused. "Are you saying that Mr. Drew took your game, Remi?" "That's a stretch, isn't it? The Project Department doesn't even make games.”"That's right! Just check your own team if you think there might be a leak. Why do you blame us? We used to work together." Remi looked at them with chilly eyes. ‘You used to be coworkers, huh?’They were drinking coffee that she had bought for them, yet they had no trouble kicking her when she was down. She said bluntly, "Before John joined the Project Department, he worked on games. I know that, but you might not.”John’s face got darker. "Remi, haven't I always been fair to you? The Project Department is busy every day, even if we don't talk about that. I seldom have time to eat or sleep. How could I have taken your game?

John smiled. "Didn't we agree at the meeting yesterday that the summary was due next week?" What's the hurry?”Lacy looked at him coldly, with a hint of anger in his eyes. "Nobody asked for a summary. There was a theft at Game Fest. Police are involved, and the video will be found. Did you really believe you could trick everyone?”John looked shocked. "Mr. Web, I promise I'm not guilty! Don't fall for Remi’s tricks. She's just trying to frame me!" Lacy wasn't in the mood. He threw a letter of termination at John. "Sign it." John was shocked. "Mr. Web, you can't just fire me without a good reason!" Mason said, "Sign now and get some money. You'll lose your severance and have to go to court if the police become involved.“John held hold to the contract with a shaky hand. "I can go, but not with my name ruined! Mr. Web, I had nothing to do with what transpired at the Game Fest. I won't stand for it if the company fires me over this!" At that moment, there was a knock on the door to

Another person who wasn't invited. Finn understood how to stay away. He stood quietly in the hallway that led from the roof to the room, leaning against the doorframe. Remi couldn't see his face clearly since he was too far away, but something about the way he spoke earlier bothered her. She walked over and closed the door. Then she looked at Enzo and remarked, "You're drunk. I'll bring you home.”“Not drunk. He instantly yelled, "My head's clear!" Remi stood up to tell him to be quiet. "Okay, you are sober. When we go back, can we discuss about this?”Enzo avoided her offer to help him up. "I know you don't trust me. You believe I'm kidding. But I've liked you for a long time. Since college... since we started producing games. It's only that at that time... His expression darkened, as if he were trapped in a bad recollection. "Vicenzo, I've only ever seen you as a friend." Enzo clenched his teeth. "Is it because of Lacy ? Or Ian? I don't care, really!" Remi hit him with a stick
