Chapter 106
“Do you really think Layla telling you these things will help you marry into the Parker family! I ignored all her questions, countering with a single line that turned her face pale
Joanna probably sensed it too. Hayden taking her to the Parker residence didn’t mean she could marry into the family
In a family with that background, even I barely managed to secure a marriage if it was not the friendship Grandpa and Xander. She had nothing to offer
“Why won’t it?” Joanna sneered defiantly. The Parker family cares most about their heirs. You’ve been married to Hayden for so long and haven’t had a child with him. They’ve been looking for a reason to kick you out”
I quietly looked at her. “If you think that the most important thing for a woman is just to have children, I really feel sorry for you.”
You’re only saying that because you can’t have any Juanna loudly retorted.
I knew she wouldn’t listen to a single word I said.
At that moment, the elevator behind us chimed, indicating Zachary’s arrival.
“Oh, what has got you two lovely ladies arguing so carly in the morning?” Zachary teased with a smile that didn’t match his usually mature deinciner
Swanson, you’re kidding. Mrs. Parker and Lare like sisters,
Seeing someone approaching, Joanna quickly covered her fierceness with a smile. “Mr. Sw and why would we argue?”
I raised my eyebrows and thought, “Are we going to call each other sister again
I couldn’t figure our men, and now I didn’t even really understand women
“We’re hardly sisters, especially since I’m about to divorce Hayden: 1 interrupted Joanna, deliberately turning the “sisters” talk towards her relationship with Hayden
The atmosphere became awkward for a moment
Zachary coughed lightly and smiled. “Is that really true. Mrs. Parker? I don’t think Mr. Parker plans on getting a divorce, does he?”
Men could always see right through each other.
If he truly wanted a divorce, he would have signed the papers a long time ago and wouldn’t wall for months
Any hesitation was simply due to reluctance.
Besides..if it were him, with such a beautiful and smart wife, he wouldn’t want to let her go. Hayden would if he was just blind.
I hadn’t said anything yet, but Joanna got excited, “What do you mean Mr. Parker has no plans? Did he tell you that himself?”
“He didn’t say it directly, but Zachary was in the middle of his sentence when the elevator opened again.
This time Hayden arrived, with Richard following behind him.
I glanced over at him. He stood tall and commanding, exuding an imposing king–like presence that made everyone too wary to look his way!
“Is everyone here?” He looked over us and asked in a deep voice.
Suddenly, I remembered what happened last night and felt a bit uneasy.
Getting drunk and causing a scene was definitely not a classy move
Joanna lit up as soon as she saw Hayden and eagerly walked over to him. “Mr. Parker
Hayden gave her a gentle nod, and she obediently stood next to him.
Looking at them, they did seen to make quite the pair–the bossy president and his sweet wife
I couldn’t help but lower my eyes, feeling a bit of bitterness in my heart.

Some things seemed ingrained as instincts
Even though I know I don’t love that man anymore, the instinctive reaction still hurts…
Zachary broke the awkward silence. Since we’re all here, let’s talk about the shop issues, shall we? Everyone’s been waiting for two weeks.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Joanna quickly added, “I’ve already helped resolve Mr. Robinson’s contract issue. As for Marun’s contract, it was fake, and I’ve had a lawyer send him a legal notice, so the muner is settled as well
According to Joanna, she was all set to win, so she wanted to end this quickly and claim her victory.
Zachary nodded, following Joanna’s lead. “Was the contract forged Do we have any evidence!”
Joanna pulled out a contract she had prepared in advance. “Here’s the copy. The seal is questionable.”
“Has it been checked? Zachary raised his eyes to look at Richard
“Yes,” Richard replied. He added, “The seal is expired and invalid.”
“So, it looks like Ms. Charlotte has won? Zachary glanced at Hayden with a faint, playful smile. “Seems like I’ve got a dance partner for tomorrow night’s party.”
As he spoke, bis gaze turned towards me.
That blatant ambition was nauseating. I was almost too disgusted to retort
Seeing this, Joanna eagerly declared. “I won, proving that Hayden made the right decision. I joined the Parker Group based on my abilities
After speaking, she carefully rugged on Hayden’s sleeve. “Right, Mr. Parker?”
However, Hayden did not respond to her. His eyes remained focused on me.
“Got nothing to say?” he asked me.
It seemed like he was questioning a criminal
I didn’t respond. I just looked down at my watch.
Judging by the time, they should have arrived by now.
Just then, there was a ding from the elevator, and the door opened.
Leading the group was Ethan, followed by Dylan and Martin, and at the back was my cousin, Stanley, who was dressed in a black suit with a briefcase. Clearly, he was a lawyer.
I cheerfully went up to them and asked. “Did you bring the stuff?”
“It’s all here” Stanley handed over a folder.
I immediately opened it, and after carefully reviewing it, I finally felt relieved.
Stanley saw inc nod at him, and then confidently announced, “Everyone, 1 am Mr. Zamora’s representative lawyer, Stapley
Before he could finish speaking, Joanna sarcastically retorted, “Losing is losing. Can a lawyer turn a lie into truth?”
Stanley glanced at her and continued, “Ms. Charlotte, the letter your lawyer sent to my client is invalid”
“How could it be invalid Richard just mentioned that your contract is fake” Joanna became agitated.
“It’s true the contract is invalid, but accusing my client of fraud is completely baseless. My client is the real victim here. Stanley’s words were assertive and clear.
I chimed in, “Back then, in order to get the shop at Kinew Square, Harrison conspired with Irene, the manager responsible for the contract, to decrive Mr. Zamora with a fraudulent contract and even collected his rent.
“Nonsense. It’s obviously your contract is fake, Joanna shouted at Stanley. “I know you’re her cousin, and you’d naturally take her side”
“I’m a professional lawyer, and I only speak with facts, Stanley calmly retorted, not bothered by Joanna’s baseless accusation, something he had seen many times before.

Dylan couldn’t take it any longer and tightly gripped Martin’s hand. “The Parker Group, being such a big company, conspired to deceive us. We should be the ones suing you.”
Zachary observed both parties stubbomly sticking to their arguments, and he found it somewhat interesting. He turned to Hayden and asked, “Mr. Parker, what’s your opinion on this?”
Instinctively. I glanced at Hayden, and my heart tightened before I realized it.
