Unfinished Business with You
Chapter 128
He wanted to laugh at himself for being such a fool. Idiot! Why did I marry a woman like her?
If he had held himself back at the time, then he would not have been tied up with her and could have
been with Olivia instead.
If he had not married that woman, he would not be this humiliated today and be so blatantly exposed
as the husband of a cheating wife.
If only he had not listened to her and consolidated their companies through a partnership to celebrate
their wedding anniversary.
But those were simply what-ifs that were not real, and right now, he was bombarded with one truth after
the other.
At that moment, his secretary called to report, âPresident Gray, several people from the technical
department have resigned and some of our major partner companies want to cancel their contracts
with us! Theyâre willing to pay for the damages for breaching the contract. A few of our suppliers also
called and said they wouldnât be doing business with the Gray Group anymore! What do we do?â
Out of those three things, not one of them was good news.
Hugo ended the call. What do we do? How should I know that?
He just felt like laughing.
Florence saw him laughing like a maniac and quickly walked over. âWhatâs wrong with you? Why are
you still laughing after such a humiliating event? Think of a way to keep this news under control!â
Ha wantad to laugh at himsalf for baing such a fool. Idiot! Why did I marry a woman lika har?
If ha had hald himsalf back at tha tima, than ha would not hava baan tiad up with har and could hava
baan with Olivia instaad.
If ha had not marriad that woman, ha would not ba this humiliatad today and ba so blatantly axposad
as tha husband of a chaating wifa.
If only ha had not listanad to har and consolidatad thair companias through a partnarship to calabrata
thair wadding annivarsary.
But thosa wara simply what-ifs that wara not raal, and right now, ha was bombardad with ona truth aftar
tha othar.
At that momant, his sacratary callad to raport, âPrasidant Gray, savaral paopla from tha tachnical
dapartmant hava rasignad and soma of our major partnar companias want to cancal thair contracts
with us! Thayâra willing to pay for tha damagas for braaching tha contract. A faw of our suppliars also
callad and said thay wouldnât ba doing businass with tha Gray Group anymora! What do wa do?â
Out of thosa thraa things, not ona of tham was good naws.
Hugo andad tha call. What do wa do? How should I know that?
Ha just falt lika laughing.
Floranca saw him laughing lika a maniac and quickly walkad ovar. âWhatâs wrong with you? Why ara
you still laughing aftar such a humiliating avant? Think of a way to kaap this naws undar control!â
He looked at her and scoffed, âThatâs Eugene. If he purposefully released that piece of information, do
you think someone like me can still keep it under control?â
She was suddenly silenced by his words. âItâs all her fault! That cursed wench who dared to accuse
someone else of having no shame when she is the most shameless! Sheâs incapable and a
troublemaker! You better divorce her now. Leaving a woman like her is no big deal!â
He smirked. âDid you think she was coming back? Everyone knows that Eugene has made Gray
Company his target now. No one would dare to oppose him and work with the Gray Company
anymore. Weâre in a precarious situation. Sheâll be dumb to come back.â
âVery well then. My son is attractive and rich. Is there a need to worry that you wonât find a nice lady?â
After a light chuckle, he did not speak anymore. Mom sure is optimistic.
But Florence felt rather apologetic. âItâs my fault. I really didnât know Eugene was that powerful. I
couldnât let my anger go that day.â
He leaned his head back in despair. âItâs okay. It wouldnât have made a difference anyway. Iâm just
getting what I deserve. Thereâs no one else I can blame for this!â
She probed, âWhy donât you reach out to Olivia? After all, you had a thing once and the person who
wronged her was Anna, not you. To be honest, youâre also a victim here. Since Eugene cares so much
about Olivia, he will listen to her if sheâs the one begging him for mercy.â
He let out a burst of mocking laughter. âWhere would I find the face to ask Olivia for help!â
He let out a burst of mocking laughter. âWhere would I find the face to ask Olivia for help!â
At the same time, Anna was also facing the same circumstances. Henry was worried that Eugene
would target Maxwell Company, so he insisted that Anna apologized to Olivia.
Annaâs eyes were filled with resentment as she rebuked, âWhat do I have to apologize to her for? Dad,
canât you see what she has done to me?â
He retorted, âIf you didnât provoke her first, Olivia wouldnât have been this resolute.â
She persisted with tears in her eyes, âThatâs because she wrongly accused me of plagiarizing her work
at the major fashion contest. She beat my mother-in-law at school and even had Eugene expel my son.
Donât you see all the times she bullied me? All I did was yell a few words at her over the phone, but I
didnât cause her any substantial harm. What did she do? My wedding anniversary was turned into a
joke, and Hugo and I are going to get divorced, but I have to apologize to her. Dad, youâre my biological
father. Do you have to be this biased?â
âShe did not reveal anything false. If you didnât actually do it, even if she wanted to hurt you, she
couldnât have done so. Itâs all because you have no self-respect. Can you still blame someone else?â
