Ex-Husband Got Crazy When I Disappear

Adding COMMENT Chapter 69 Chapter 69 There was a bit of a theatrical element to what I said .

a bit of a th And all I could do was laugh .

The answer was so obvious .

Why bother asking again ! For Hayden , even if it meant hurting a thousand people , he would still try to save Joanna .

I lifted my eyes to look at him , my voice cold and distant .

Who you choose to help is none of my business .

Just dont drag me into it .

Haydens simply said .

Are you so sure youre going to lose ? I let out a scoff , What , are you really willing to let Joanna get expelled ? I countered , my words dripping with sarcasm .

There was no need to think twice .

I knew he would secretly help Joanna .

Involving me was just a way for him to make me look foolish .

Joanna quickly noticed the tension between us and rugged at Haydens sleeve , her voice barely above a whisper as she choked back tears .

Hayden , please dont make it harder for Mrs.

Parker .

This is my problemn .

L By the end of her sentence , she was crying , her face a picture of helplessness .

Hayden , true to his nature , looked at her with a tender gaze , Dont think so much I didnt want to witness their little display of affection , so I turned my gaze elsewhere , only to find Zachary leaning casually agrime the desk , his thin resting on one hand , watching us with an expression that suggested he was thoroughly entertained .

In that instant , a flash of anger surged through my mind .

Everything was orchestrated by Zachary , It was simple .

He wanted to see Hayden surrounded by tremble .

Zachary knew I would never let myself be treated like a pawn , so he counsel on me rejecting the idea .

This would leave Hayden with a mess be couldnt handle .

Suddenly , I realized that rather than being a piece on someone elses chessboard , I might as well take control of the game myself Even if I lost at least it would be my own choice .

With that thought in mind , I broke from my usual belivior and turned to Hayden .

Do you really want me to participate ? Hayden , who had been comforting Joanna , turned his sharp gaze toward me at my worki Before he could speak , I continued , I participate , but I have one condition .

Speak , he said , his lips curling slightly If I win , I want full ownership of the 100 % of the Parker Group shares in my possession , I stared directly at him , emphasizing every word .

When I married Hayden , the Parker family had given me 2 % of the shares in the Parker Group , but Id signed an agreement stating that if Hayden and I ever divorced , I would have to sell those shares back to him It wasnt surprising that such a measure was taken .

Big families like theirs always make sure their control over shares remains intact .

But now , I wanted to take those shares with me .

It was up to Hayden to decide what he was going to do about it At that moment , Hayden narrowed his eyes dangerously , his face as unreadable as ever .

I waited for his response , and after a long pause , I couldnt help but smile coldly .

Looks like , in your mind , Joanna isnt as important as youve made her out to be , huh ? As I spoke .

I glanced at Joanna , silently signaling to her that Hayden didnt value her as much as she thought .

Extra Check in Ad time leading 7:49 PM c Chapter 69 Joanna immediately burst into tears , churching Hayden desperately .

Hayden , didat you say youd help me earlier ? Hayden … Joanna didnt understand the significance of that 2 % stake in the Parker Group .

All she knew was that Hayden wasnt willing to gamble everything for her , and she couldnt accept that Hayden didnt look at her .

is eyes deep and intense , as if he could see straight through me .

Instead , he fixed his gaze on me , his eyes Zachary had fallen silent .

He was probably wondering why things werent going the way he had planned .

The best way to escape the hunters grasp was to become the hunter yourself , Sitting idly by and waiting for things to happen was never a good strategy .

And for me , all it took was a gamble to see if Haydens feelings for Joanna were truly genuine Just then , after a long silence , Hayden finally spoke .

As you said .

I got the answer I wanted , but I couldnt bring myself to feel happy about it .

Joanna , on the other hand , was practically glowing , clinging to Haydens arm , tears of gratitude streaming down her face .

Hayden , youre so kind .

I hadnt expected that in Haydens heart , Joanna might already be more important than the Parker family .

my brant .

The realization gnawed at me like a thousand ants slowly devouring my That tiny , continuous pain never seemed to stop , constantly tormenting me .

It wasnt until this moment that Zachary finally snapped our of his thoughts .

heber He clapped his hands , looking a little too excited .

Well then , I guess the bet is officially on .

Mrs.

Parker , you sure know how to impress me … By the time he finished speaking , the way Zachary looked at me was like a wall eyeing its prey .

I turned my gaze away , not saying a word , and walked out of the secretarys office .

As I left .

I caught a glimpse of Joanna looking at Hayden with stars in her eyes .

She had Haydens help , while I had to rely on myself This time , I couldnt afford to lose .

I had to wi After leaving the secretarys office , I headed straight for the marketing department .

After quickly reviewing the stores location and basic details , I went to conduct a site visit .

The store in dispute was located on the first floor .

I block 300-309 of Kinaew Square , with four stores in total , all leased to the same client .

Originally , the client had signed a five year lease , but the new manager , not fully understanding the situation , rented the store to another client This led to the Parker Group receiving two payments but only one storefront and the two clients gor Neither side wanted a refund or an apology .

They just wanted the store .

a fight over who would get the space .

The marketing department had tried various solutions but hadnt been able to resolve it .

If things continued like this , the situation would only escalate , and once that happened , it would be uncontrollable As I approached the door , I spotted a familiar face , Lidia .

Lidia and Joanna were good friends , and not long ago , they had mocked me together .

It wasnt unusual for Lidia to be here since she worked in the marketing department , but something about this felt more than just coincidence .

Soon , I saw Lidia wave at someone with a particularly sycophantic smile .

followed her gaze and saw that it was Joanna who had arrived , So Joannas here , huh ? I thought to myself .

243 Chapter 69 She was quite proactive Hi Lidu , Joanna greeted her enthusiastically .

then immediately spotted me standing not far behind .

A smug , cold smile spread across Joannas face as she glanced at Richard , almost as if she was showing off .

That was when I realized Richard was with her .

It means that Hayden had sent Richard to help her .

But Zachary had clearly said not to let anyone from Haydens side help .

Whats going on here ? I wondered .

After a moment of thought , Joanna , with Lidia and Richard in tow , made her way toward me .

Youre here early , but its a shame you dont know anything , so what can you really do ? Joanna ineered , not letting go of Lidias hand as she patted it affectionately .

Lidias the best .

She was already here , keeping an eye on things for me .

Dont worry .

Joanna , well definitely sort this out , Lidia said confidently , casting a sideways glance at me .

Some people are just destined to fail .

Its better they stay out of our way , or be theyll just embarrass themselves and become the laughingstock 1 ignored their taunts , but I couldnt help but feel curious about Richards appearance .

What are you doing here ? Did Hayden send you to help her ! WIND GIFT
