All Chapters of Exiting the Marriage, Entering Her Era: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Fred caught Helena and immediately took off his jacket, wrapping it around her. "You're okay now. Can you walk?""Yeah!" She pushed herself to her feet, then swayed and fell back against him. "My foot really hurts. I think I cut the bottom of my foot on something.""It's alright. I'll carry you." His voice was slightly hoarse and low but reassuring.Just as he lifted her onto his back, Shane and the others called down from above. "Fred, did you find her?"Fred held Helena tight against him, grabbed a nearby tree trunk, and started climbing. "Yeah. She dropped her flashlight. She might've blacked out for a minute."Once he got her to the top, Shane immediately reached out. "Let me carry her for a bit."Jonathan went off somewhere and isn't answering his phone."Lucas said, "I just saw him heading that way. I'll go find him.""I'm sorry… I didn't think this would happen," Helena said quietly, guilt in her voice."As long as you're okay, that's all that matters. My God, you had u

After the weekend, the busy workweek started again. The handover between Georgia and Heath was in its final stages. She no longer attended Eterna's project meetings. However, a few ongoing issues between Eterna and EverVital still demanded her attention. That morning, Georgia was supposed to be at her clinic. But the meeting was too important, so she came straight over with Elijah.Fred dropped Sophie off at school first thing in the morning. Georgia had just picked up some documents from EverVital. She had barely parked when she spotted Fred's Bentley outside the company entrance. Fred stepped out first, then reached into the car as if it were second nature. A slender wrist appeared, a delicate white watch catching the light. Then Helena got out. Because of her leg injury, she was wearing flats that day. She moved carefully, wincing slightly as her feet touched the ground, as if holding back the pain.He offered her a hand for support. With his other arm around her waist, he al

Georgia, EverVital's Chief R&D Advisor and co-founder, was also one of the evening's key figures.Fred had given her a three percent stake. She reinvested it directly into EverVital, securing her place as one of its founders.That night, Georgia wore a sharply tailored navy velvet suit with a pearl-white silk blouse underneath. Her long hair was swept into a chignon at the nape of her neck. Unlike the other women at the event, dressed in lavish gowns, she stood out, calm and composed, with clear, bright eyes.A minimalist watch rested on her left wrist. She wasn't wearing her wedding ring.Fred arrived with a group of senior executives from Genma Group headquarters. Helena was right beside him. As they entered, heads turned across the room.He wore a black bespoke suit, understated yet unmistakably expensive. His presence was commanding and controlled. He exuded the quiet authority of someone accustomed to absolute control.Helena stood just behind him, a poised, practiced smile

Fred didn't respond. He drained his glass and walked off. Jonathan walked over with the directors. "Good job tonight, Gia." His gaze rested on Georgia's stunning face, his eyes gleaming with admiration. "You're too kind, Jon. I'm just hoping we'll have more chances to work together moving forward," she responded, seizing the opportunity to steer the conversation toward business. Jonathan's smile widened, and his voice was sincere as he responded, "Of course, I'd love that."As soon as his words fell, Georgia lightly clinked her glass against his. "In that case, I'll be counting on you, Jon.""Don't sweat it." Gazing at the rim of the glass where she had touched, he casually brought it to his lips and took a sip.As the evening drew to a close, Georgia was completely worn out. After saying goodbye to Erin, she found an empty lounge and sat down to rest her legs.Elijah walked in with a cup of chamomile tea. "You must be tired, Georgia. Here, have some tea. It'll help you sob

Two days later, a confidential document bearing Fred's personal seal was delivered to Helena's office.Helena was a little surprised as she reached out and opened it. The very next second, a spark of excitement flashed through her lovely eyes. It was actually a letter of intent for a strategic partnership with Monolith Medical, a century-old pharmaceutical giant in Esperos.Her fingers trembled slightly when she touched the paper. This partnership involved introducing cutting-edge gene-programming therapies and producing new biopharmaceuticals. Both the technology and market potential made it a very promising opportunity.Helena immediately called Heath into her office. After reading the letter of intent, even Heath could not hide his delight. "This is far more than a partnership, Dr. Linden. It means our company is about to enter the very heart of the global pharmaceutical research and development. We'd be the first in the country to do this!"The gloom between her brows vanishe
