Chapter 105
I didn’t expect the alcohol to be so strong, and just one sip made my thoughts begin to blur.
But that was exactly the effect I was looking for.
After a short break, I lifted my glass, ready for another sip.
Maybe soon, I’d be completely drunk.
In the nest moment, the glass in my hand was snatched away.
“That’s not how you should drink. The deep voice carried a commanding tone–It could be no one else, except for Hayden
1 angrily shook off his hand, “What’s it to you? Get lost, Hayden”
Alcohol really did give people courage,
I finally had the nerve to act out in front of Hayden.
Hayden didn’t walk away. He just stood there, and in my vision, he seemed to split into two.
“Why. why are there two Haydens? So annoying… I munered with a frowns. It was hard for me to get a moment’s peace.
“Do you prally.. not want to see me? Hayden’s voice sounded again.
(0)
Not realizing anything was wrong with what he said, I just shouted hused on my feeling. “Ugh! You’re such a jerk. We aren’t divorced yet, and you’re already bringing another woman home. It’s so disgusting. Go find her, stop bothering me. I’m setting you free”
With every insult 1 threw at him, the pain in my heart grew stronger.
The man I once loved so deeply had turned out to be such a scumbig. What a bad judgment 1 had.
“Yvonne.” He suddenly called my name
“Don’t call me that,” I snapped, glaring at him, “We’re barely acquainted. Just sign the papers, and we’ll be divorced, no strings attached. Even if we meet on the street later, do me a favor and act like you don’t know me
At that
moment, I really wished I could cut all ties with him immediately.
Emotions could be unpredictable sometimes.
Back then, I was determined to marry him, but now… I just wanted to get away from him as far as I could.
I once thought love could be eternal, but reality showed me that maybe it only lasted ten years, or even less
I didn’t know if I was crying. I just felt everything getting blurry, my head was spinning, and my eyelids were getting heavier.
Right before I lost consciousness, I was still surprised at how poorly 1 handled alcohol.
drunk from just one sip of liquor.
I felt my
unsteady body being held up by a pair of strong hands, and then everything went black
Hayden held Yvonne in his arms, and only then did the turmoil in his heart calm a bit.
He looked down, just in time to see her delicate face, with her soft skin glowing a faint pink from the drink, which made her even more charming.
“What should I do with you. After a long while, Hayden let out a deep sigh.
When they got married, he never thought they would end up divorced,
But now… her heart was no longer under his control.
It was the next morning. When I woke up, I felt refreshed and clear–headed, with no hangover headache at all

Chapter 105
Probably because I didn’t drink much, and, without the energy to sleepwalk after getting drunk, I slept even better than usual,
I skipped breakfast and went straight to the office
Today was the last day of my bet with Zachary, and I bet Joanna was eagerly waiting to win.
Sure enough, as soon as I got downstairs at the company, I heard a group of people discussing something together.
“Who do you think will win today?”
I’m
not sure, but I saw Joanna looking very confident when she arrived”
“Do you think Mr. Parker is really going to help her I prefer Mrs. Parker anyway?”
“Helping would break the rules, right! If he does, Joanna might still get fired…”
I slightly raised an eyebrow, surprised that anyone would still stand by my side.
Everybody knew I was the joke of Elysiumville, and hearing this kind of comment was a bit unsettling.
However, I didn’t have the chance to keep listening as they noticed me and quickly stopped their discussion. “Stop talking. Mrs. Parker is here.”
In a hurry, everyone turned around and said in unison, “Good morning, Mrs. Parker”
I nodded with a smile and walked toward the elevator.
Just before the door closed, Sean rushed in.
“Good morning, Mrs. Parker” He gave a smile that seemed a bit slick.
I didn’t respond, remembering how he helped Zachary set me up before.
Sean, feeling a bit awkward, rubbed his face and then smiled. The bet will end today, right? Are you confident, Mrs. Parker?“:
“No.” I answered honestly
Sean was stunned, staring at me wide–eyed. “Mrs. Parker, you’re really calm under p
pressure…
He laughed. “Mr. Swanson will be delighted now. Dancing with a beauty sounds dreamy
“He’s Vice President, I reminded him in an icy voice.
Sean paused for a moment before nodding “You’re right, Mrs. Parker, but.
He stretched out his words with a smile, “But who could predict the future! People have been complaining about Mr. Parker’s style for some time. Now he’s putting you, his wife, in the spotlight. Who’s to say he won’t betray the company someday…
“You’re joking. The Parker Group belongs to the Parker family. Whether Hayden wants to betray it or not is his business. What’s it to us outsiders? 1 retorted sarcastically.
Sean and Zachary were just looking for various excuses to push Hayden out
No matter how legitimate their reasons sounded, it didn’t hide their ambition to grab what was not theirs.
After my two sha
my two sharp comments, Sean’s smirk slowly disappeared.
“Looks like you won’t be working with us,” he said, and his tone became colder.
*From the start, you never really intended to work with me, did you?” I countered blundy
If they were genuine, they wouldn’t have tested me so many times.
Sean laughed coldly. “You’re much smarter than the rumors say.”
That was undoubtedly the best answer.
“From the start you just wanted to use me, and once you got what you wanted, you’d ditch me, right?” I smirked slightly. Id heard about these kinds
