The Ex-Wife's Secret (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 877

Chapter 877

Yatena cursed inwardly, ‘Dann old woman, how have I changed, anyway? She let out a silent sigh, thinking, “It’s so exhausting having to precanti someone I’m not every single day.

“Mom.” Yalena changed the subject, pulling out all her tricks to act cute. “When is Dad going to let me run the company? He put me in the marketing department, but I want to move up to management. Can you talk to him for me?”

Katrina let out a sigh, her tone full of meaning. “Managing the head office isn’t as simple as it looks. Your dad just really wants you to get more experience, so he’s having you start in the marketing department to broaden your horizons.”

“Hmph,” Yalena snapped, pulling her hand away from Katrina’s. “You just don’t want to hand over the company to me. Don’t forget, I went through h in Mianara. I almost died.

“You both promised you’d treat me well and make it up to me when I got home. Is this your idea of making it up to me? All I want is the company and you won’t even give me that.”

“Yalena, that’s not what I meant,” Katrina said, reaching out to gently take Yalena’s hand. But Yalena pulled her hand away, impatience written all over her face. Katrina could only watch as Yalena headed upstairs. She shook her head helplessly, her heart heavy with pain.

Not long after, Yalena’s father, Eason, came home. With a grim expression, Eason asked Katrina, who was sitting on the sofa, “Where’s Yalena? Has the come home?”

“She just got back and went upstairs. Did something happen?” Katrina asked, noticing that Eason didn’t look happy.

Eason didn’t say a word, his face grim as he headed upstairs. Katrina felt a sudden sense of unease and hurried after Eason.

Back in her room, Yalena opened the door. There was a loud smack as Eason slapped Yalena hard across the face.

Yalena clutched her cheek, her face twisted with rage. She glared at Eason like she could kill him right then and there. “Why the hell did you hit me?” Yalena yelled.

“Why don’t you tell me yourself? Do you really think I don’t know all the things you’ve been scheming behind my back?” Eason shouted.

Seeing Eason about to move toward Yalena to question her again, Katrina quickly grabbed his arm. “Stop it. Don’t hit the child. Can’t you just talk things out calmly?” Katrina pleaded.

Eason snapped, “I don’t know if we’ve spoiled her too much, or if something’s gotten into her lately. She’s always stirring up trouble!”

Yalena was indignant. “How am I stirring up trouble?”

Eason continued angrily, “You went out of your way to mess with Jonathan’s ex–wife before, and now you’re still at it. Don’t tell me you don’t know she’s pregnant.”

Yalena bit down hard on her lip, her eyes burning with fury. ‘Who ratted me out?‘ she thought, rage flaring in her gaze.

“I didn’t do anything. This is slander,” Yalena shot back.

“Oh yeah? Is this slander too?” Eason retorted and suddenly threw a stack of freshly developed photos right in front of Yalena.
