*****Everybody, “_”“What was he talking about?”They all became confused.Suddenly, someone’s eyes widen before instantly becoming round. “Wait a second!!!” She called out as if she just realized something very important. “What if the car is owned by someone within our company?”The moment everybody heard this, they rolled their eyes speechlessly at the speaker, but a few others seemed to be slightly convinced.“That’s very possible!” A lady nodded her head thoughtfully, but the person beside her wasn’t convinced at all, so she only gazed dumbly at the speaker. “Who could have possibly owned such an expensive car that cost thirty million dollars within this company?”Immediately, everybody began to debate amongst themselves, forgetting about Rex Magnus' existence.Well… it wasn’t that Rex Magnus cared about that though. Acting as if he doesn’t hear them, he continued facing his wife, then he pushed something toward her. “Wife, here.”“Hun?!”Fiona became startled, then s
***** In no time, the news of Rex Magnus gifting his wife a car of thirty million dollars spread through the company like flame, and everybody began to speak about it.“Brother, grandma must hear of this!!”“Cousin! I think this needs to be heard by Grandma.”“Sir, what your sister said would be the best.”Right now, inside Ethan's office, several people could be seen doing their best to convince him, but the face of Ethan who was being convinced was presently entirely black like charcoal.“So that bastard is actually this wealthy and had only been making a big fool of the Johnson family!”His voice abruptly boomed furiously.He finally started breathing in and out heavily before he eventually calmed himself, then he picked up his phone and dialed his grandmother’s number who instantly picked up.Without wasting any more time, Ethan quickly explained everything to his grandmother, changing only a few words.…..Over at the old Matriarch's side.Right now, she could
***** Before both Rex Magnus and Fiona could react, the rushed footsteps already became close to them.All of a sudden, Sally showed herself, then the moment she saw the new car outside, a dumbfounded look appeared on her face.“Was… was… was this the car he said he would buy for you?”Rex Magnus instantly became dumbfounded when he heard his mother-in-law’s words.‘How did she know I had intentions of buying a car for my wife?’Suddenly, he felt his wife's gaze on him, then he immediately spread out his hands, as if to tell her he has no idea about how she knows.As for Sally, Not waiting for anybody's response, she rushed to the pink car, then instantly, she began to behave like someone who had lived in a Village all her life but was suddenly taken to a City for the first time.She began from the front bonnet, patting it extremely lovingly.Fiona immediately became embarrassed by what her mother was doing, but even she wanted to do exactly that, because the more Fi
***** This time around, the trio was flabbergasted to death by the old Matriarch's outcry, Rex Magnus included.They couldn’t react at all, apart from standing there and only gaping dumbly at the Old Matriarch, not understanding what was going on.…….. Some hours ago, after Alan Bottoms left Crest company, filled with anger, he contacted his private investigator to help him do a full background check on Rex Magnus.While waiting for the result, Alan Bottoms became irritated with everything, and also, a tinge of fear unknowingly found itself in him, thinking he would be dead if Rex Magnus's identity was really fearsome.Just several minutes ago, Alan Bottoms received an email that contained everything his private investigator found concerning Rex Magnus, and right now, Alan Bottoms could be seen smiling evilly to himself.“So he was just a trashy orphan whose parent had died in an accident, and he actually dared to go against me?”Yes.That was the disguise set up by
*****“Mother, the car wasn’t bought by this bastard, it was bought by young master Bottoms for my daughter.”Sally hurriedly explain, thinking a mistake had occurred.But the moment her voice sounded, Fiona also spoke out. “Grandmother, he promised he bought the car using his money.”This only infuriated the old Matriarch even more.“What shit are you two spouting?” She scowled ferociously at the mother and daughter duo.“Are those the lies you were told or the ones you made up to cover up for him, thinking I wouldn’t know?”Sally's forehead immediately furrowed when she heard this, then instantly, she glanced at her daughter and questioned. “What’s going on here? Wasn’t it young master Bottoms that bought the car for you?”“Hun?”Fiona immediately became confused, then suddenly, everything made sense to her.‘So she was the one that informed that person that I needed a new car? No wonder!’Although she instantly felt slightly dissatisfied and disappointed, Fiona sweep aw
***** After staring at Fiona's face for a while with hatred, the old Matriarch eventually left without saying a single word, while Sally also returned inside the villa, leaving only Fiona alone outside.Right now, although Fiona doesn’t regret what she did, she understood that she had been too rash.Well, it wasn’t her fault though, it was because she had lost control of her train of thought and her entire being had shattered completely the moment she saw Rex Magnus signing the divorce paper the other time.Although Fiona always makes herself appear cold, those that knew her enough understood that she wasn’t actually a cold person, and in fact, she was a very warm person, so saying she has no feelings for Rex Magnus despite being married to him for over three years was a big lie even though she doesn’t know it herself.Though Fiona had justified what she did as paying for what she had caused, deep within her inner heart, she knew that the reason was more than that.Well…
***** Hearing the officer’s words, the chief sighed deeply, feeling a sort of not-so-good instinct.But unable to pinpoint the source of this instinct, he turned around and walked away, leaving the officer alone.As for the officer, the moment he saw his chief leaving, coldness flashed through his eyes, then he muttered darkly to himself. “That bastard doesn’t want me to receive my promotion, right? What a big joke!”Finished mumbling this, the officer walked directly into the investigation’s room before suddenly speaking out coldly.“The chief has ordered me to inform you that you’re free to do anything you want to the criminal if he still doesn’t say anything before today's midnight.”“Hehehe.”The creepy-looking and furious-to-death investigator immediately gaggled ferociously when he heard this, then he glanced playfully at Rex Magnus, hoping to see a scared face, but unfortunately for him, what he saw was Rex Magnus only smiling brightly to himself as if he just h
***** While everything was happening, Sally was currently about to die from a heart attack at home as she gazed tearfully at the television before her which was presently announcing a piece of news. Although she still doesn’t know what the news was about, she could already guess because its source was her husband's family, so Sally was no longer at rest.Just as her eyes were starting to get very hot and teary from staring too hard and unblinking at the television screen, the news was finally read, and instantly, Sally’s heart stopped working completely.She almost couldn’t believe the news she just heard.At this moment, it was as if fireworks had exploded inside her head as her ears echo and repeated the words read by the newscaster very slowly.She refused to believe it despite already knowing the news couldn’t be a lie.Although she had known they would be punished by what occurred today, Sally had never thought their punishment would reach this extent.“We… we…
