Chapter 115
The instant Hayden sensed her touch, he recoiled his hand as if stung by an electric shock. The gloom in his eyes deepened perceptibly.
The Parker Group isn’t the right place for you,” he said, his tone cold. Joanna’s outstretched hand suddenly felt empty, left there rather awkwardly. with no one to hold or touch anymore
She stared at the man in front of her in disbelief. “Hayden, why do I feel like your look has become so distant? What’s happening? Is it because I
A woman’s intuition never lies. She clearly sensed that Hayden’s attitude toward her had changed significantly in recent days.
Hayden initially didn’t want to say much to her, but since she mentioned it, he finally lifted his eyes to meet hers.
“Back then, you said you were traveling abroad, ran out of money, and had to find a part–time job, that’s how you met me. Was that the truth?” He asked, each word as clear and impactful as a bell. Joanna suddenly froze in place, overcome by a wave of panic.
She pondered to herself. What on earth does Hayden mean by asking that. All this while, he had never once doubted me, so why now. Has he caught on to something?”
Joanna bit her lip, her eyes revealing a panic she couldn’t control. “Of course it’s the truth. Why
Why would I be to your
She then changed the subject swifily. “Hayden, 1 just don’t want to leave you…
“How were you taking care of me during that period Hayden pressed on, asking once again. His tone grew even colder with each passing question: Through these inquiries, he was demonstrating a total lack of trust in Joanna. Some things needed to be made clear.
Joanna quietly clenched her hand at her side into a fist, stammering. Y you were unconscious at the time, and I stayed by your side…..
“What exactly did you do?” Hayden urged her, suggesting Changed the bandage Cleaned the wound“”
“Yes! I just helped change your bandages.” Joanna grabbed onto the chance like clinging to a lifeline
In reality, she hadn’t really taken care of Hayden. She had only been with him for a few hours before he woke up, and the didn’t even know what his wound looked like…..
When he suddenly asked her this, she had no choice but to answer that way. Little did she know, the instant she said those words, Hayden had already gured out she was lying all along
The frigid aura surrounding him continued to expand… “You may leave now, Hayden said flashing a cold, mirthless smile.
Joanna was stunned. “Hayden, 1..” Hayden cut her off. This is the office” He then pressed the intercom to call Richard in.
Richard had no idea what had transpired, but based on his knowledge of Hayden and the palpable sense of the oppressive atmosphere in he could sense that Hayden was seething with anger at that very moment…
He couldn’t figure out why Joanna upset Hayden. “Ms. Charlotte, this way, please”
Joanna wasn’t completely in the dark. She could perceive that Hayden was growing impatient with her. She was aware that if she continued to pester him at this moment, it might further irritate him, thus making it even more difficult to explain later on.
Not knowing what course of action to take, she reckoned it would be wiser to leave for the time bring and have a discussion with her mother at later point.
deep breath and forced a smile. “Well, Hayden, I won’t bother you anymore. You get back to work…
Thinking of this, she took a d
After saying that, she followed Richard out, keeping her back straight the entire time. She still wanted to maintain the last bit of her dignity.
After she left, Hayden’s eyes, sharp like a hawk’s kept watching her retreating figure.
Hayden recalled that Yosef had once mentioned that Sophia was highly intrigued by the affairs related to him and Yvonne. He couldn’t help but suspect that perhaps it was this mother–daughter pair who had concocted the whole thing right from the start.
If they dared to plot against him, then they would have to bear all the ensuing consequences. Hayden’s deep, shadowy eyes glinted with a menacing light

Chapter 115
In the morning, I completed a portion of the follow–up tasks for the store
re and then extended an invitation to Dylan for lunch.
At first, I told him he could choose any restaurant he liked, but he insisted on having lunch in the company cafeteria.
He really gave the impression of a student who hadn’t yet graduated and was keen to step into the working world. I wanted to go back to school and be a student again…
This whole thing was our company’s fault, and treating you to the cafeteria feels a bit insincere,” I sighed, speaking with genuine apology.
“I think it’s great” Dylan said, holding his tray, as happy as a child. His smile always exuded a refreshing aura, just like the morning sun, warming the heart
Each time I laid eyes on him. I couldn’t help but be reminded of my former sell… “Please, take a seat,” I said, leading him to a seat by the window. Numerous people who walked by greeted me in a friendly and warm manner.
“Hello, Mrs. Parker. Are you also having your meal in the cafeteria? someone said. I felt awkward at first but then got used to 1 After all, it’d be over in a few days, so no need to fret.
Dylan wasn’t very interested in the food; instead, he was keen on watching how my coworkers interacted with me. “Yvonne, they all seem to respect you a lo
“It’s just for show, 1 chuckled. Seeing his earnest look, I didn’t want to burst his babble, yet I feared he’d be pushed around in the future. “Tm the CEO’s wife. They work here, so they have to be polite. It’s just a facade.”
“I see…” Dylan nodded, showing a bit of understanding. He wasn’t really familiar with these unspoken rules of society; he just hoped that I was faring well here.
I didn’t discem his thoughts and simply said, “I’m really sorry about your uncle.!
“It’s okay.” Dylan smiled. “After all, my uncle isn’t young any longer. His health isn’t as good as it used to be. Our whole family wishes for him to get more rest. My dad even mentioned taking him on a vacation to see the world!”
“That’s good.” I sighed with relief, mechanically taking another bite of my food. Yvonne Dylan suddenly spake up, looking a bit hesitant
I waited for him to continue, but when he didn’t, I prompted. “Hmm?” After hesitating for a long time. Dylan finally asked, “L.. I heard you’re divorcing Mr. Parker!”
He had heard numerous rumors within the Parker Group recently and was unable to tell whether they were true or not. However, if Yvonne was indeed getting a divorce, he was determined to take good care of her
My hand holding the fork froze slightly. Even Dylan had heard the rumors, so the whole Elysiumville must know by now.
“Yeah” I nodded, not intending to deny it. Is it because of Journal Dylan asked again.
He was really anxious and worried, so the words just slipped out before he realized they might not be appropriate.
“If it’s difficult for you to answer, Yvonne, you don’t have to. I was just asking casually. Noticing how careful and guarded he was being. I suddenly felt a twinge of pity for him.
Just as I was about to reply, a tray was set down on the very same table I was at, right beside me. I glanced over and saw Hayden taking a seat next to me, his movements as duid as ever.
