All Chapters of CEO Regrets Divorcing Me: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“I did submit my resignation. Rachel, the HR Vice President, said I need to follow the company’s standard one-month notice period.”“As for becoming the CEO’s secretary, that isn’t something an ordinary employee like me can decide. It was Mr. Wells’ decision.”Alyssa stood in the wind, the autumn breeze lifting a strand of her hair, her gaze open and steady.Justin saw no sign of deceit.“Why would Mr. Wells want you to be his secretary?”“I don’t know the exact reason.” Alyssa truly didn’t know what Lucien was thinking. In any case, she hadn’t believed the explanation he gave.Justin didn’t know Lucien well either. The Wells family was far beyond his reach—something he might never even come close to, no matter how hard he worked his entire life.All he knew was that the man who controlled the Wells family was cold and sharp-tongued, someone who kept his distance from women.In the business world he was decisive and ruthless, never showing mercy even to his own relatives, and his judg

Alyssa’s first reaction was to politely refuse. “Mr. Wells, thank you, but I can take a taxi.”“Get in.” Lucien’s tone left no room for argument, and the car door slowly opened.“Thank you, Mr. Wells.” Alyssa bent down and got into the car. As she moved closer, she caught the scent of alcohol.He had drunk quite a bit at the dinner table too, yet he hadn’t shown any sign of being drunk. “His tolerance was pretty good,” Alyssa thought.The driver turned around and asked, “Miss Jones, where do you live?”Alyssa reported the name of her residential complex. She remembered that Justin and Sophie had already gone back first, so she changed her mind. “Don’t go there. Just drop me at the entrance of a nearby hotel.”Lucien remembered that the first time he met her had also been at a hotel, when half of her face was still swollen.“He was the one who hit you last time?”Alyssa froze for a moment before recalling it, then nodded.Lucien sneered and cursed Justin. “All looks, no substance.”A

Alyssa turned off the lights and lay down, but her mind kept wandering. Where would Sophie take Justin?To the home she shared with Justin?Or to Sophie’s own place?Sophie also lived in the same residential complex. It must have been Justin’s arrangement. Otherwise, how would it be convenient for him to pick her up and drop her off from work?She thought Justin’s gentleness toward her meant love.It turned out it didn’t.Justin not only gave Sophie gentleness—he gave her money, support, protection, and many things… things that even Alyssa, his wife, had never received.If she had gained anything at all, it was only the title of “wife.”Yet tonight at the dinner table, Justin hadn’t even acknowledged that he was married. He hadn’t shown the slightest bit of guilt about it either. Instead, he had questioned her as if she were the one deceiving him.So, who had really deceived whom?Alyssa’s thoughts wandered wildly, yet she stubbornly refused to let herself cry.The divorce agreement

Justin had already bought one large luxury apartment for his parents and had chosen another for Judy as a future dowry. Now he was planning to buy one for Sophie as well.The only one who had none was Alyssa, the wife who had been with him for four years.Alyssa gave a faint, bitter smile and went back into the house. The living room was still fairly tidy.It was just a three-bedroom apartment. Her and Justin’s walk-in closet was in the master bedroom. The moment she pushed the door open, she smelled a strange scent, something like Callery pear blossoms.There were no Callery pear trees planted in the complex.Alyssa pushed open the window. When she turned back, she noticed a strip of black fabric sticking out from under the bed.She bent down and picked it up.It was a black lace thong with barely any fabric.She didn’t own anything like that.There was nothing like that anywhere in the house.Alyssa suddenly realized something and yanked the blanket aside. The sheets were rumple

Alyssa froze slightly when she saw Justin and Sophie. Instinctively, she stepped a little farther away, as if she still understood the need for basic propriety.Justin did not know that she had already signed the divorce agreement, and no one else would know either. In their eyes, she was still Justin’s wife.Catherine smiled brightly and called out, “Mr. Scott, and this is… Mrs. Scott?”When Sophie heard herself addressed as Mrs. Scott, she looked at Alyssa with a hint of provocation in her eyes.“No,” Justin said, looking at Alyssa.The smile at the corner of Sophie’s lips stiffened. “Justin and I are friends.”Catherine and Jessie had seen all kinds of executives and knew very well that many of them kept mistresses on the side. They understood immediately and simply smiled as if they knew nothing.Alyssa stood to the side, feeling cold from head to toe.“Alyssa.” Justin suddenly called out to her.Sophie also smiled. “Alyssa, why do you look as if you don’t recognize Justin and me?
