Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Wife vs. a Mango… Guess Who Won?: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

"Mr. White, your stomach condition has flared up due to stress-induced triggers. "From now on, don't consume any food that you dislike. Otherwise, it might not just be a stomachache the next time. You could end up having part of your stomach removed."Stay in the hospital for a day's observation, and make sure to let your family know to come as soon as possible."I went quiet after hearing the doctor.For a new project, I worked day and night abroad for 39 days straight and finally made it home safely. I never expected that a glass of mango juice from Irene Johnson at the celebration dinner would send me straight to the hospital. I instinctively opened the pinned chat. I had just typed two words when something felt off.After taking a careful look, I confirmed that it was Irene, but she had changed her profile picture to a green mango.Just as I was staring blankly at the chat window, Irene's call came through. Her voice on the phone was icy. "I'm home. Where are you?"I stay

After Irene finished speaking, she paused and looked at me seriously. "Don't worry. This time I'll introduce you properly, and I won't let Steve interfere."I looked up at her with a calm glance. I knew very well that this was her way of making up for what happened the night before.But that was fine. The cancellation of the deal in Eurentia would take a few days to process anyway. Announcing it on the day of the press conference would work perfectly.…In the evening, I went to the restaurant early, just as I always did. After seven years together, it had become almost a habit.While I was waiting, I received a call from overseas. It was Ashley Walker, my opponent in the last negotiation, and also my senior.Ashley's voice was warm as she said with a smile, "Jay, have you thought about my offer for you to join DM Group? Johnson Corporation is still too small and doesn't deserve someone of your caliber."This was her third attempt to recruit me.The first time was seven years e

Irene knew exactly how much I had sacrificed for the Eurentia project, yet she still handed it to Steven to force me into backing down.My phone buzzed with a new message from her. "You still have a chance to admit that you were wrong."I didn't reply. I set my phone down and went to wash up.She seemed to forget that I was the one who secured the Eurentia project. The partner didn't care about the company—they only trusted me.…After washing up, I went downstairs to grab some breakfast. When I returned, I found that all my things had been thrown out of the office.My mug and files had been tossed out, and the signed divorce agreement was torn in half. The only thing left was the wedding photo of Irene and me, set carefully on the balcony.Steven sat proudly in my chair, a mocking grin on his face. "Sorry, Jason. Irie already gave me this office. You can take that spot over there from now on."He pointed smugly toward the storage room by the restroom, where water was leaking.

"Ms. Johnson, I heard that DM Group secured the deal because they poached a key figure from your company. Could you clarify this?" a reporter asked."Hello, Ms. Johnson. We've been told that you had a very close relationship with the former manager, Mr. White. And the man by your side, Mr. Carter, is rumored to have interfered in your relationship with him and taken his place. It even drove him to leave the company. Is that true?"The barrage of aggressive questions left Irene unable to answer. What was even more terrifying was that the questions these reporters asked, along with the rumors they knew, were not only sharp but also true.They fired off questions so quickly that Irene never even got a chance to defend herself.Besides, I handled this matter too ruthlessly. If she wanted to salvage the company's reputation, the only way was to bring me back and let me take over the Victoria project again. There was no other solution.With the help of the secretary and security, Irene

Irene never had to put in any effort, so how could she ever need to ask anyone for favors?I suddenly grew curious about what other cutting words might come out of her mouth, a mouth that never spoke anything kind, so I stopped trying to pull my hand away. Instead, I headed to a nearby cafe and set my stopwatch, waiting for the ten minutes I had agreed to give her."Jay, where have you been all this time? Do you have any idea how long I've been looking for you?"Irene was still the same as before, always full of sweet words. Back when I publicly took the Victoria project with me and changed jobs, even a fool could have figured out where I was, let alone her. She really stopped at nothing to show her deep affection.I sneered and glanced at my watch. "If all you're going to say is this kind of nonsense, I don't think we need to waste the next eight minutes."Irene was momentarily at a loss for words. She sulked, insisting, "Jay, there's no need for us to be so confrontational. I re
