Chapter 110
After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities
It was so obvious to know what Logan thought. He must think she had
sex with Franklin.
Franklin turned gloomy while he saw Logan tagging along with Sylvia.
The air seemed to be frozen.
It was in somewhat embarrassment.
Sylvia peeked at Franklin. Her pale lip turned pink, resembling the
bloom of flowers. "What are you angry about? Aren't you hungry?
Come over to help," she said.
Then Logan saw, Franklin, the imposing and cold man, following Sylvia
to help her in the kitchen.
It looked very funny.
"Don't be smug, Logan. Come over to help if you wanna eat." She
walked to the kitchen door, and found Logan was gloating while she
looked back.
"OK." Logan ran over to the kitchen. As long as she was okay, he could
do anything.
He was in a good mood at that moment.
She looked at the food in the refrigerator, and then suggested, "Let's
make bacon spaghetti. It's delicious and easy to cook."
"Okay." Franklin agreed. An expectant look flashed across his cold
face.
He enjoyed cooking with her, because it would bring warmth to his
heart, just like when he changed the sheet with her.
However, Logan, the third wheel, was an eyesore!
He glared at Logan and wondered why this fool stood here to ruin their
moment. Did Logan do better in washing or cutting than him?
Logan was now dicing bacon.
As he rarely did chores, and even hardly went to kitchen, he couldn't
cut well. Some dices were big and some were small, which looked
unappetizing.
Franklin believed the spaghetti with the bacon diced by Logan must be
tasteless.
Franklin started to dice potato.
He sneered at Logan then showed his evenly sized diced potatoes.
It pissed Logan off.
Why did Franklin could cut the ingredients so much better than him?
Logan, however, decided to hold back his anger for now, considering
that Franklin could ease Sylvia's pain resulting from the virus.
Sylvia ignored the two men against each otherShe was busy with
mixing sauce.
Bacon spaghetti was easy to do, but it would be better to make another
two dishes.
Then she made pumpkin soup and steak pizzaiolla.
When she was done, the spaghetti was cooked properly.
Then she put dices of bacon and potatoes over the spaghetti.
The smell of the spaghetti made Logan salivate.
âWow, Boss, you're such a good cook."
Franklin looked at him expressionlessly. He wished that Logan, this
noisy man, could disappear.
How did Logan usually act as a president in his own company to
manage his subordinates? He was so meek and submissive in front of
Sylvia.
Franklin was reluctant to stay with Logan.
And he believed Logan had many flaws, not as elegant, smart and
handsome as him.
Franklin carried a dish out, and served Sylvia a plate of spaghetti in
front of her.
Then he thoughtfully handed the knife and fork to her as well.
She took it resignedly.
Was there no way to cut ties with Franklin?
âThank you," Sylvia said.
"Save it." Franklin frowned and looked at her. He disliked the way she
deliberately alienated him.
She didnât reply.
She had fought against the virus for so long, and she desperately
needed to replenish some nutrition.
The two men said nothing.
Franklin was a reticent man.
Logan was about to say something to liven up the atmosphere, but then
gave up the idea as he saw she was so tired.
His boss really had a hard time.
Thus, the three of them had dinner in silence.
Then Logan knew it was time for him to go to his own room and leave
them alone.
This made Franklin realize maybe Logan and Sylvia were not in an
intimate relationship as the rumor said.
No man was willing to have his lover stay with another man, right?
Franklin was puzzled about the relationship between Logan and Sylvia.
Soon he ignored it.
As he noticed Sylvia who walked in front of him didn't look nice.
She felt so painful.
The pain was too familiar to her.
She walked weakly and almost fell to the ground.
Then Franklin clasped her waist in time and she subconsciously stretch
out her arms to hold him.
This made Franklin's Adam's apple bob.
Her pink skin overwhelmed him.
âSylvia......"
âl..." She wanted him to let go of her.
She could endure the pain.
However, the man could not suppress his desire.
So, he carried her in his arms.
She closed her eyes in despair as it seemed that she could not leave
him until she overcame this virus.
In the next day morning, Franklin slowly opened his eyes, and the
images of Sylvia throwing herself at him came into his mind.
Since the divorce, he had rarely slept so soundly.
He even slept through the night.
Sylvia was not there. Franklin washed up and went downstairs. A maid
came over, holding a new business suit and a tie.
âMr. Maskelyne, please take this.â
âNo worries; it's new." Logan wandered downstairs with a lollipop in his
mouth.
âYou prepare it?" Franklin looked at Logan coldly.
âMy... Sylvia did it." Logan wanted to say "my boss", but he withheld it
in the end.
'l almost exposed Sylvia's identity!" thought Logan.
Although Sylvia didn't show up, he was pleased that Sylvia prepared
the suit for him.
He went to the Maskelyne Group in the suit Sylvia prepared.
In the president's officeFranklin was working.
Perhaps because of the sound sleep last night and the suit prepared by
Sylvia, Franklin was in a very good mood all day.
He did not get angry, even when a secretary accidentally spilled coffee
on his documents.
He only asked the secretary to print another one and let her out.
The secretary was at a loss and went to her office.
It had been almost two months.
Franklin, the cold and short-tempered president made his subordinates
suffer every day.
But today, Franklin acted like another person, and he didnât blame her
for making a mistake!
When she told it to the director, the director sighed. "I don't know what
happened to Mr. Maskelyne. Four years ago, we worked cautiously in
this company every day. Four years later, Mr. Maskelyne becomes what
he used to be."
She had been one of his secretaries since graduation and finally
became the secretary director after many years of working hard. So,
she knew Mr. Maskelyne very well, including the way he behaved.
"What do you mean? Mr. Maskelyne has been very tender over the last
four years?"
The young secretary was confused.
âYes, he was such a modest and gentle man. Now, he is just a tyrant!"
The director whispered, "Well, no more prying. Employees that talk
about the boss behind his back might be get fired!"
Jasper suspected that Mr. Maskelyne and Sylvia had made up with
each other.
Otherwise, Mr. Maskelyne would not be in such a good mood, right?
But he did not dare to ask, and only guessed that.
At that time, Franklin's phone rang. Jasper glanced at it.
It was Tiffany.
Why was the woman still badgering Mr. Maskelyne?
Franklin glanced at Jasper, who got his hint, picked up the phone and
pressed the answer button.
Before he spoke, Tiffany said in a lovely voice, "Frank."
Jasper coughed lightly and said seriously, "Sorry, it's me. Miss Evans."
Then a sharp voice interrupted him. âWhy is it you? Where is Frank?"
The voice gave Jasper a headache. âIt is not convenient for him to take
your call as he is having a meeting with executives. What do you want
to tell him about?"
âI can't tell you what I want to say to Frank. Let him call me back when
he ends up the meeting."
Tiffany was very dissatisfied.
She hung up before Jasper replied.
Her nose was still wrapped in gauze. It was all Sylvia's fault. If it wasn't
Sylvia, she wouldn't be in such a difficult position.
Neither would she be outsted by the fashion industry.
That day, she left hospital, disguised herself and went to the beauty
salon where she had plastic surgery. Then a plastic surgeon did a new
nose job for her.
She was in recovery.
However, she blamed all of this on Sylvia.
She got so furious while thinking of Sylvia, even wishing her to die.
In the president's office of the Maskelyne Group.
Jasper looked at the phone and respectfully said to Franklin. âShe hung
up.â
âLet it be." Franklin stroked the buttons of his suit and said coldly. "How
about the drugging thing?"
âThat woman ... is probably Miss Evans.â Jasper said with an
undertone, "She did it very covertly, so we haven't found any evidence.
And she gave those two people cash, instead of transferring money to
them.â
"Okay." Franklin remained expressionless, but his deep-set and dark
eyes looked terrifying.
Jasper observed his expression and cautiously asked. "Mr. Maskelyne,
what should we do now?"
"On that day, I was drugged and hurt Sylvia,â Franklin said coldly. "In
that case, let's be in a tit for tat!"
âWell, Mr. Maskelyne is as cold and ruthless as before," thought Jasper.
