Chapter 155
Neither Sham not I noticed that someone had taken a picture of entering the hotel together.
Just as 1 finished washing up and was ready to lie in my bed, Irvin called me. I initially didn’t want in answer, but after giving in some thought, I picked up.
“Emi, why aren’t you home?” he asked.
Irvin thought I had gone house after leaving. Once he had composed himself, he went to my place but found I wasn’t home.
“Why does it matter to you Whether I go home or not? I replied collly, I couldn’t understand how he could act this way after doing that to me.
“Emi-”
“Don’t call me that!” Leut him oft. “And stop pretending to be all affectionate. Even if you don’t find it disgusting, please spare me from it!”
Irvin distinctively explained, “Emi, I’m not pretending ”
“Oh? Then was your brand–new company built in a day? You must have spent quite some time draining your current company, right?
Now that I had calmed down, I had been thinking about it. I answered his call to get information out of him. So, I steered the conversation toward his new company.
Draining a company, especially an industry giant that was strong in every aspect, wasn’t something that could be done in a short period.
There w
was no way he could have done that in just one day. Which meant he had been plotting this for a long time.
Realizing what I was thinking, Irvin quickly said, “No, babe. I never plotted against you. You know a few shareholders at the company have been acting up, no matter how much I tried to reason with them.”
He continued, “They’ve been holding onto their shares tightly, refusing to let go. It’s really affecting the company’s development, I founded the new company because of that!”
He had actually been waiting for the right moment to break away completely from the company. It would forfeit the shareholders of their shares so they could never cause trouble again.
However, he never expected that the plan would be used against me
A few thoughts surfaced in my mind after hearing his words.
After confirming that he had set up the new company to escape from those shareholders, I subtly got more information from him. Once I got all the answers I wanted, Thing up.
Alterbeing hung t
upon so
so coldly, Irvin’s eyes darkened. He was smart, so he knew I was simply trying to get information out of
But he still told me everything I wanted to know
After all, he had been at fault. He shouldn’t have assumed I was that kind of person or treated me that way without even Investigating
And he definitely shouldn’t have manipulated me like this.
He knew his love was too selfish.
But he couldn’t let go. He was, indeed, a selfish person. It didn’t matter if I hated or blamed him, as long as I remained his wife.

After the call ended, Ms. Plume, who was standing beside him, coln’t help but ask, “Isn’t it a little too risky to tell her all that when she’s determined to divatce you?”
In her eyes, my desire for divorce was perfect. Breaking off from the company and leaving me with an empty shell would be a flawless plan.
“Perhaps you should…” Ms. Plume began but she trailed off whenshe noticed Irvin’s deadly cold stare.
She had always thought he was perfect and flawless in every way, except when it came to love.
That was his only problem.
How could a woman be more important than his career? If he had been ruthless enough to divorce me without saying all of this, their plan would have worked perfectly.
“Their new company would soon rise to another league, with hopes of becoming the best in the continent.
But Irvin…
Realizing something, she rerouted to the hospital despite originally planning to go home.
The only person who could stop
stop Irvin right now was Julianne.
