Semua Bab He Sent Me Away for Three Years. Now My Divorce Has Him Panicking.: Bab 31 - Bab 40

“It was okay.”“What do you mean, just okay?” Wendy asked, growing anxious. “Did you not put any effort into picking out the gift? How many times do I have to tell you that we need to stay on the Gibson family’s good side? Otherwise…”“I get it,” Xavier interrupted, suddenly completely done with her nagging.But Wendy had no intention of dropping it. “Well, did Yvonne go? Did you see her? Did you talk to her? She’s still single, so you still have a chance.”Xavier really couldn’t take it anymore. He pinched the bridge of his nose in sheer exhaustion.“Mom, can you please stop trying to play matchmaker? How many times do I have to tell you that Yvonne and James are together, and they’re happy together? I only see her as a sister. Seriously, give it a rest.”Wendy complained under her breath. “But isn’t James already married?”“Even if he’s married, he’s still with Yvonne now. And he only got married in the first place because of her. Can you stop getting involved in this from now

All kinds of ugly remarks reached Nina’s ears, but she didn’t really care.What she truly cared about was the project bonus.This time, it didn’t only affect her.It affected every member of her team.These were people who had followed her all along.During those years in Harbor City, they had worked overtime and pulled late nights without complaint.They had worked hard for an entire year, only to be denied the compensation they deserved.That was something Nina could not accept.And she knew exactly why this had happened.She grabbed her things, pushed through the crowd watching the drama, and headed straight for James’s office.When she arrived, James was clearly no longer in a meeting.Even so, he refused to see her and sent his assistant out to get rid of her.Nina wasn’t going to play along.She pushed the door open and walked straight in.Inside, James was on the phone.When he saw her come in, his expression darkened with displeasure.He turned to his assistant,

Nina had never mentioned any of this to James before.She only said it today because she truly couldn’t hold it in anymore.Their marriage.Her work.He was trying to crush her completely.But after she finished speaking, all she saw was the cold, disgusted look in James’s eyes.He looked at her as if she were insane.Nina suddenly laughed.Of course.Some people would push you to the edge, then stand there coldly and watch you break.This time, James didn’t need to kick her out.Nina walked out of his office on her own.After she left, she saw a call from Alan York.She didn’t even have time to feel sad.She quickly pulled herself together and answered.“What’s wrong?”“Boss, are you okay?” Alan asked, his voice full of concern. “We all saw the email. Everyone was worried, so they asked me to call and check on you.”“I’m fine. I’m doing great.”Nina didn’t mention that she had gone to see James.“How is everyone in Harbor City? Is the project going smoothly? Any pro

“Sooner or later, yes. But not now,” Nina said.James finally relented.“Fine. Name your terms.”“Restore everyone’s project bonuses.”“That’s it?”James gave a derisive laugh.“You made such a scene, and it wasn’t even for yourself?”“They’re my team. Fighting for them is no different from fighting for myself.”James sneered, clearly thinking she was being hypocritical.Then he said, “Are you done? Then get out.”Judging from his tone, he had agreed.Nina didn’t bother arguing with him any further.After Nina left his office, another company email came in soon after.Just as she and James had discussed, everyone else’s project bonuses had indeed been adjusted.But when Nina kept reading and her gaze stopped on her own name, her expression changed.It wasn’t because her bonus had been reduced again.On the contrary, James hadn’t reduced it this time. He had actually increased it.But the amount was humiliating.Twenty dollars.Beside that number, there was even a del

“Just hear me out,” Yvonne said softly. “I have your love, and I have Liam. I don’t need anything else. Nina, on the other hand, probably needs the money more than I do.”James sighed, helpless against her.“You’re too kind. But there’s really no need.”“All right. I’ll listen to you.”Yvonne had only brought it up casually in the first place.She just wanted to look kind.As for what actually happened in the end, she didn’t care.With Yvonne stepping in, the matter was resolved smoothly. John was so grateful he nearly cried again.In everyone’s eyes, Yvonne was practically a saint.She was beautiful, kind, and considerate.Under everyone’s gaze, Yvonne walked over to Nina and asked if they could speak in private.Nina didn’t think there was anything worth saying between them.“If you have something to say, say it here.”“It’s about the project bonuses,” Yvonne said, looking conflicted.Nina was worried something had changed with her team’s bonuses again.So despite her
