Ex-Husband's Regret (by Evelyn M.M) novel Chapter 78

78 /133

"Perfect" She doesn’t say anything else, just picks up her tablet and begins typing something on it.

“Hey” Emma begins. “Isn’t that Caleb Kingstone of Kingstone technologies? What’s he doing with Ava? Does he know her?”

I look at where her gaze was directed. It was on the young man with Ava. No wonder he looked so familiar.

Kingstone technologies started about two years back. He is the youngest CEO and already has made a name for himself in the business world. At only twenty, he was already a success story. His techs were increasingly popular and he had earned himself a spot at the big boys table.

If I was vain, I would have been worried about him taking my number one spot as the top entrepreneur in the country. The boy was giving a lot of the other business men a run for their money.

“Oh yes…he is a beneficiary of the Hope Foundation. He’s an orphan and Ava took him under her wings. She’s the one who noted that he’s a tech genius. She encouraged him to start something with his talent. When he came up with the idea of having his own company, Ava backed him up. She gave him the startup capital he needed. No one believed in him back then, except for Ava. Now his company is fast growing and it's earning him millions. As a thank you to Ava, he gave her shares in Kingstone technologies. Ava is the second largest share holder after him”

Another shocking revelation. We stare at her. Each of us trying to absorb what she just told us.

Emma interrupts the moment by snorting. “So in other words you’re saying she’s taking advantage of the kids under her care to make herself rich?”

This time I’ve had enough of her.

“Will you stop with the fucking snide remarks” I growl, hitting the table in anger.

People turn to us but mind their business when I glare at them. Emma looks at me like she’s never seen me before, but I was just so fucking sick and tired of her venomous mouth.

“Which hole have you been living?” Mary asks Emma in a sneer. “Ava doesn’t need anyone to make her rich, the woman is a millionaire.”
