Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption novel Chapter 345

Chapter 345: The purpose behind it all ...

~The Secretariat unit~

After leaving Davis’ office and being pushed out by one of the guards,

Her temper flared. Like a stormy wind, she walked past the Secretariat unit in fury that they exchanged a glance at each other and laughed.

And the next second, someone came out to peep through the hallway.

Seeing her walk a reasonable distance, she came back and, with her hands crossed across her chest, she asked a question that had been tugging at her heartstrings since Vera passed.

"Do you think she will be finding a way to get back to Davis?"

"Of course. Who wouldn’t?"

"Did you even need to ask?"

"Haven’t you noticed how made up she is today?"

"I heard the president is already married, and the wife is a beautiful lady."

"I met her in the lobby once. She is not just beautiful but gorgeous and quite intimidating. I believe Vera isn’t her match."

"If I am the president, I wouldn’t bother glancing at this wench."

"Be mindful of what you call her. You wouldn’t want to lose your job."

"I just don’t like someone who could only be there when things are rosy, and when it gets tough, she flees."

"Not just fleeing. I was even thinking the president was dead at that time, and in compensation for her effort, she was asked to marry Aaron. Never expect her to be just a green tea bitch."

"Really? If the president had died, shouldn’t she give herself some time to nurse her broken heart before she jumps into another man?"

"For me, I am not interested in how many times she jumps, but I am only interested in how I can lay hands on the president’s wife’s phone number to inform her so she can put her in her place.

Besides, I heard she is the largest shareholder—even more than the president."

"Are you saying the president is working for his wife?"

"You can put it that way."

"This love is really great."

"Is the Secretariat office now so ideal that you have the chance to gossip?" Ethan’s voice thundered through the door. The ladies spun quickly on their heels, and they returned to their cubicles.

His gaze expressionlessly swept across their faces before it settled on the lady that wanted Jessica’s contact so as to put Vera in her place.

"Linda, if she comes around, you call me. I will come over," he instructed.

At the fall of his voice, the Secretariat office buzzed with smiles as each made their decision to watch out for the lady Vera.

Ethan glanced around again, making sure they understood him, and he nodded.

Jessica doesn’t need to concern herself about the events here. He will be sure to protect Davis from the claws of Vera and any other woman.

He had witnessed how hurt he was, how he lost his sanity, and how torturous his life had been until Jessica came along.

And Vera? She doesn’t deserve him—not in ten lifetimes.

And as far as he is concerned, no lady dares to come close. He doesn’t mind losing his job to solve it.

~Vera’s Office~

Stepping into her office, she closed the door behind her so that it shut with a thud, its sound reverberating across the floor.

Her hands clenched to her side as she paced her office.

At some point, she held on to the table to steady herself from falling as she trembled with anger.

"Davis, are you really being difficult?"

"Do you really hate me this much?"

"Do you really think I haven’t paid a price for you to live?"

"Do you ever know that if I hadn’t accepted the arrangement, you would have been injected with that serum?"

"You might have remained paralyzed? You might have died?"

"Yet at this time..." She took a deep breath.

"I think I got it all wrong from the beginning. Maybe I shouldn’t have accepted that option."

"Maybe another step would have led to your safety, but then I was anxious...was it really anxious?" she murmured.

"No, I didn’t want to lose my place in the Louis family. If I had done that, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to keep you."

"I can’t be thrown into the streets, and I can’t lose you."

Recalling the series of events that had transpired at that time, she slumped back into her seat.

The gate was opened by the guard stationed there. Vera drove into the Louis estate, the sun reflecting on the glass, and with clear precision, she drove directly into the garage before turning off the ignition. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
