One Insult, Two Goodbyes—Husband and Her Out のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 8

My anger completely overtook my reason.Without a second thought, I called my secretary. "Revoke Hayden's position as the vice president. Tell him to pack up and get out. And cut off his secondary card."I had always loved designing dresses, but I couldn't manage both the company and my boutique at the same time.Hayden's help had allowed me to focus on what I truly enjoyed.Out of gratitude, I had promoted him to vice president despite protests from the other managers. I had even handed him my secondary card so he could spend freely.Thinking back on all our memories made me wonder if I had acted too impulsively."Ms. Graham, we've arrived," the driver said, snapping me back to reality. I hurried out of the car and pushed open the boutique door.Everyone inside froze. Kayla glared at me impatiently. "Who told you you could barge in like this? Don't you know how to knock?"I ignored her and went straight to Lola.She clung to my arm, tears streaming down her face. "Winnie, you

I let out a sigh of relief the moment I heard the police.Julia quickly pulled Kayla back."That's me. I'm Winnie, and I'm the one who called the police."When I couldn't reach Hayden on the way to the store, I chose to call the authorities.Fortunately, they arrived in time. I didn't even want to imagine what would've happened to Lola and me if they hadn't.Kayla's strength was frightening.Before I could explain the situation, Kayla burst into tears and accused us of stealing. She pointed at Lola. "Officer, she tried to steal a dress from my store, and I caught her in the act! Since when is catching a thief a crime?""Exactly! If we hadn't caught her, our store would have lost three million," Julia chimed in.Lola held my hand. "This is my sister's store. I didn't steal anything.""You're lying!" Kayla snapped. "This is my husband's store!"Under the police officers' skeptical stares, I walked over and pulled out my business registration document. Then, I recounted everythi

I laughed so hard that tears rolled down my cheeks.After all these years of marriage, I had trusted Hayden more than anyone. That was why I let him run the company.Maybe time had made him think he owned the company. He even thought he could use it to turn the tables against me.He was wrong. I grew up around all sorts of business circles with my dad.How could I not see through Hayden's schemes?"Hayden, are you sure about that?"He lifted his head and met my gaze. "Of course I am! If you don't believe me, let's test it out!""Hayden, you're underestimating me," I said, wiping the tears from my eyes. "You don't honestly think that swapping out the company veterans for your own people and funneling profits into your name makes the company yours, do you?"His smile froze instantly. With the slap I'd just given him still burning across his cheek, he looked ridiculous.He stood there, stunned."Stop trying to scare us! The company already belongs to the Carters. It's my husband

When I returned from the boutique that night, I never imagined that I'd find an unwanted guest waiting in my home.Hayden ignored the disgust on my face and calmly set out dishes at the dining table.When I walked closer to him, he grinned."Honey, I made your favorite—grilled salmon," he said, holding up the dish. "Kayla's locked up now, and with the damages from the boutique, she won't be out for at least ten years. I checked, and it seems like in cases like this, the marriage can be dissolved in two years! I'll divorce her then for sure!"He rambled on, lost in his own fantasy. "I know you're still upset, but trust me. My heart has always been with you. Kayla used dirty tricks to force me to be with her, but I love you. Only you."His declaration made me want to vomit. I grabbed a dish from the table and hurled it at him. "Who do you think you are? Who said you could come into my house? Security!"The joy drained from his face the moment I yelled for security. Panic took over
