Lahat ng Kabanata ng He Sent Me Away for Three Years. Now My Divorce Has Him Panicking.: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

The rest of the process moved quickly.Less than a week later, the official notice was released. As expected, Gibson Corporation had won the bid.That day, James hosted a lavish dinner and invited Simon and the others over to celebrate Yvonne’s success.He chose Emerald House, the most exclusive private dining club in Burgola. Everyone who could afford to dine there was either rich, powerful, or both.Inside the private room, Yvonne sat in the seat of honor, smiling as she accepted everyone’s congratulations.Liam was the first to speak.He didn’t actually understand what the project meant, but he imitated the adults and said something sweet.“Congratulations, Aunt Yvonne! You’re not only pretty, but also super capable. You’re the most amazing person in the whole world!”After saying that, he grinned and dove into Yvonne’s arms.In front of outsiders, he still called her “Aunt Yvonne” because Yvonne had told him that he could call her “Mom” at home, but outside, it was better

“Did I?” Simon gave an awkward laugh, though he had to admit Xavier’s description was pretty accurate.“Was it that obvious?” he asked.Xavier didn’t answer. He just gave him a look that said, Figure it out yourself.Simon cracked immediately. No one had even pressed him, and he was already ready to spill.But before he said anything, he glanced around nervously. Only after confirming that Yvonne wasn’t paying attention did he lean in and lower his voice.“I have to tell you something. I just saw a gorgeous woman.”As soon as he said that, Xavier rolled his eyes.“And that’s supposed to be surprising?”Let alone worth looking like he had lost his mind over.In their circle, beautiful women were the one thing they saw most often. They were also the last thing anyone should be surprised by.Simon could tell Xavier wasn’t impressed and rushed to explain.“This time was different. I mean it. Completely different. I only saw her from behind, but I could already tell she had to be

Yvonne had already felt threatened the moment she saw Nina. Now that everyone’s attention was on Nina too, she wanted nothing more than to lose her temper and slap her across the face.But because of the sweet, gentle image she had spent so long building, she didn’t dare show it. She could only force herself to say, “She really does look better than before. Her figure is great too. I probably can’t even compare to her now.”After saying that, she immediately looked at James, hoping he would deny it.She wanted him to say that Nina wasn’t as pretty as she was, that even after losing weight, Nina still couldn’t compare to her.Unfortunately, she didn’t get what she wanted.James acted as if he hadn’t heard her at all and didn’t respond.In the end, it was Simon who spoke up.“That’s impossible. No matter how much she changes, she can’t be prettier than you. You’re the little princess of our group.”Unfortunately, his words didn’t comfort Yvonne in the slightest.Jane came back a

The study was dark.James sat alone inside, smoking in silence.The computer screen was still on, showing an old photo of Nina from one of her past projects. As James looked at it, the way she had looked today surfaced in his mind before he could stop it.She really had changed a lot.Not just her appearance, but her personality too.The timid, submissive woman who used to shrink away from him at every turn was gone. In her place was someone cool, stubborn, and unyielding, as if she would rather die than bend.James took a hard drag from his cigarette and sneered inwardly.How stupid.Suddenly, the study door was pushed open from outside.James immediately shut the laptop and looked toward the door.It was Yvonne.When he saw what she was wearing and how carefully she had dressed up, his eyes narrowed slightly.Yvonne walked toward him with deliberate grace, then sat on his lap on purpose. She wrapped her arms around his neck and said coquettishly, “Why haven’t you come to

Linda sighed.“There’s a problem.”Jane immediately stepped closer.“What kind of problem? Did something happen to my friend?”“No, nothing like that. It’s just that this case is complicated. You should prepare yourself.” Linda looked at her. She clearly didn’t want to say it, but she still told her the truth. “The higher-ups have already given the order. No one is allowed to take this case.”“Why?” Jane didn’t understand. “There’s nothing special about this case. It doesn’t involve any ethical issues, and there’s no personal safety risk. Why are they paying so much attention to it?”“I don’t know the details either. I only just received the notice.” Linda leaned closer and lowered her voice. “I’ll be honest with you. The order from above is strict. Anyone who touches this case is out. They were already planning to let you go, and I had to fight hard to keep you. So you need to drop this case as soon as possible.”Jane didn’t doubt a word Linda said. Linda had always been honest
