Chapter 110 Pressing On
Robert cautiously sat beside me, wearing a flattering smile and attempting to put his arm around me. However, I slapped his hand away with a swift motion. He chuckled awkwardly, “Darling, don’t be angry. Take care of yourself!”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Suppressing my anger, I began to truly understand the challenges faced by actors. Once you get into the role, genuine anger becomes hard to control. Yet, any burst of emotion puts a strain on my heart, which currently seems unreliable; I couldn’t control the tremors running through my entire body.
Apparently concerned about my condition, Robert continuously stroked my back, softly consoling me with sweet words and feigning great care.
“Tell me, who told you to follow me?” I fixed a fierce gaze on Sherry. Though my tone carried a restrained patience, it was evident to anyone that I was on the verge of exploding.
“Mrs… Mrs. Brown! I’m sorry, I… um, Mr…” Sherry, unaccustomed to seeing me assertive, trembled with fear, struggling to articulate her words.
Perhaps this scene unfolded too quickly, entirely different from what she had anticipated.
“Sherry, what’s your intention? Huh? Follow me, right?” I stared at her coldly, my tone aggressive. “Who gave you the right to do this? You’re so anxious, aren’t you? Do you think you’re the mistress here?”
“Baby…”
I suddenly turned to Robert, unable to endure my humiliation any longer. I roared, “Stop calling me that way! Do you still consider me your wife?”
“Did you instruct her to do this?” I pointed at Sherry, shouting relentlessly. I was genuinely furious at this moment, releasing the pent-up anger of the past few weeks. For the first time in ten years, I was confronting him with rage. “Robert, do you think I’m about to die, and you can’t wait? What do you take me for?”
Robert, wearing an innocent expression, said, “Don’t say that. It’s just a misunderstanding. Don’t be angry!”
He reached out to pull me into his embrace, the familiar scent that once brought comfort now disgusted me. I couldn’t control the shivering, which seemed to shock him. I forcefully broke free from his hold, glared at him, and accused, “Robert, do you feel guilty at all? You haven’t bothered to ask about my daily condition, how my recovery is progressing, whether I’m eating well, sleeping well, still losing hair, or if I have an appetite…”
“I was wrong, it’s my fault! I’ve been busy…”
I cut him off, “Busy? Tell me, Robert, what’s the result of your busyness? Did the company’s profits skyrocket, or did the number of projects increase?”
As I probed into this area, he played dumb, remaining silent.
“You’ve become less concerned about your child and wife, and the money in the bank has vanished. So, Robert, what exactly have you been busy with? Projects, right? Okay, bring them here. Show me the project reports and plans! I need to know how your projects are being executed. Although you’re currently the CEO of Medikit Inc, don’t forget, I am the legal representative of Medikit Inc. I invested in and founded the company. Legally and morally, I have the right to oversee the project structure of Medikit Inc.”
Deliberately exposing his weaknesses, I hit the nail on the head. These were the words he despised and didn’t want to hear, but I had to say them and say them harshly.
“If, within a week, you can’t provide the company’s plans and can’t return the funds from our home accounts, you will resign in disgrace. I will return to the company, and all of you will get out and go home!” I declared.
Robert’s face instantly turned cold, his gaze glaring at me ominously. See? This was indeed what he feared the most.
I was betting on the fact that until the news from Southend was confirmed, he wouldn’t harm me or let me get close to the company. After all, he had changed the face of the company, thinking I was unaware.
Since we were causing a scene, let’s make it big. I wanted to continue applying pressure, hoping that through this incident, I could retrieve all the money he had moved from our joint accounts.
I believed that in the face of the substantial interests behind the company and Southend, he wouldn’t confuse what was more important!
Seeing that the defenses in his heart were already shaking, I sneered inwardly. This was just the beginning.
