All Chapters of Exiting the Marriage, Entering Her Era: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Fred's words comforted Helena.Evanna frowned heavily. Since when did Georgia have such a pivotal role in the company?Fred's uncles looked thoughtful as well, but they didn't dare interfere with any decision-making.Fred reached out to stroke Sophie's head, urging her to finish the last of her food.Then, he looked in the direction of the staircase. For the first time, he had the distinct feeling that some things were slipping out of his control.… Some time passed, and Georgia and Heath had also completed the project handover.After Christmas Eve was Christmas Day.Georgia took the afternoon off as Sophie's school was holding a family bonding event.Georgia accompanied Sophie all afternoon, after which Evanna picked Sophie up.This was because Evanna had a few friends who wished to take their children out to play that night. Two of the children were Sophie's friends, so Sophie couldn't wait to play with them.As Georgia watched Evanna's car leave, she sent Erin a message

Erin watched as Georgia bottled away her vulnerability and rage. She knew that outsiders only ever saw Georgia's quiet gentleness and never her iron will. A shameless third party like Helena had no business strutting and showing off in front of Georgia.At 9:00 pm, Evanna personally sent Sophie back home.Sophie rubbed her eyes sleepily. When she saw Georgia standing outside the door, she happily asked for a hug. "I want a hug, Mommy!"Georgia hugged her, then asked Evanna, "Would you like to come in and sit for a while, Mom?""No thanks. It's very late, so I'll be heading home first. Take good care of Soph."As Evanna spoke, she gestured for the driver to drive them away.After a while, a black Bentley pulled into the yard. Fred put on his coat and got out of the backseat.Sophie immediately leaped out of Georgia's arms and ran over to tug on Fred's fingers happily. "Let's go upstairs and open up the Christmas presents, Daddy! I can't wait any longer."Fred had a doting look i

Helena looked away from Georgia, afraid to challenge her any further. "It looks like I didn't understand you enough, Gia. Fred and I may grow closer because of work, but please don't take it the wrong way. We're all working for the good of the Seele family, and we're both family as well.""Family?" Georgia echoed with a distant expression. "Publicly, EverVital and Eterna may be competitors; privately, you're Felix's widow and hold more seniority than me. Since we're family, we should probably draw clearer boundaries between us."Helena's gaze turned slightly colder.Georgia, who seemed like a quiet and gentle person, was harder to deal with than she'd expected."Perhaps I was overly worried. Fred and I have known each other for 13 years, so you may not be able to imagine how close we are. Still, I wish EverVital the best in their future development."Georgia raised her wine glass and said quietly, "I wish Eterna a bright future as well."Helena bit her lip, then turned to walk ba

Sophie still had a rather babyish voice, but her words struck everyone present like thunder.Helena, who had been feeling on top of the world, felt like she'd been stabbed in the chest. She glared viciously at Sophie.Fred stiffened for a moment, then stood up and walked over to Sophie. He kneeled down so that he was at eye level with her."Who was speaking such nonsense?" he asked.Sophie immediately stretched out her hand, pointing outward. "I know who they are. I made sure to remember their faces. Are you going to teach them a lesson, Daddy?"Fred didn't expect her to be quite so vengeful. She resembled him in this regard."Okay, tell me which ladies have been spreading nonsense, and I'll teach them a lesson later," he said agreeably.In order to get Sophie out of the room, he leaned down to pick her up, then informed the other people present, "I'm taking Soph out for a walk."Even after Fred carried Sophie away, the lounge was still filled with an awkward tension.Helena s

Georgia stiffened and came to a stop, almost reflexively shaking off Fred's hand."Sophie came over to tell me that someone was gossiping about us in the bathroom just now," Fred revealed.Georgia frowned slightly, feeling startled. "Why would she tell you about that?"Fred's expression turned slightly colder. "Because she overheard them. If this sort of thing happens again, please put a stop to it as soon as possible. Soph shouldn't be listening to filth like that."Georgia's gaze darkened, and her voice turned icy. "Are you blaming me for it? Why do you think those people were even gossiping about us? Is it not because of the way certain people have acted?"Fred had already faced her thorns once, so he wasn't surprised that she would blame him in return."Yes, I know their actions hurt you and Soph. I'll deal with them," he stated.Georgia watched him quietly as he made a show of fulfilling his responsibilities as a husband."You can only silence the gossipers by conducting y
