Bye, My Ex-husband

Chapter 30: She Lost Everything

When the meeting ended, the last thing Janessa wanted was to watch these two people continue with their performance.

She quickly gathered her belongings and left the meeting room.

"Janessa, a month ago, you were backed by Rayan and even had the Lu Group’s investment to support you.Now that you don’t have Rayan’s support, you can't take anything from the Qiu Group ever again."

Aydin appeared in front of Janessa with a triumphant smile on his horrible face.

This couple never failed to disgust her.Aydin was overjoyed by his victory today.

However, the negotiation one month before humiliated him, especially since there was an outsider present.

At the time, Rayan was still the son-in-law of the Qiu family, so he wasn’t technically an outsider. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

It was clear to Aydin that there was no affection between Janessa and Rayan, which was why he dared to take action at this crucial time.

"Aydin, don’t let your guard down just yet! Do you think you're capable of managing such a large company with your abilities? Did you think I had no idea how incapable you are?"

If she had known that things would turn out this way, she wouldn't have brought in the money without any conditions.

The first thing she should have done before taking the company back was to fire the inadequate people around her.Now, it was too late.

She lost everything. It was no use to lament over her past decisions.

"Janessa, do you honestly believe that you’re a good woman? Do you think no one knew how you managed to get that large amount of money in such a short time? It’s a lucky escape for Rayan to divorce you.If he hadn't divorced you, you would’ve cheated on him numerous times by now,"

Aydin said in a voice that dripped with sarcasm.

Janessa flinched at his words.

Cheated on him? She never even thought of doing so, even though he clearly had.

What on earth did Aydin know? It seemed like he was trying to say something between the lines.

Janessa recalled her past actions as she paid attention to Aydin’s reaction.

The only thing she could remember was that she contacted Gordon and Larry recently.

Her relationship with Gordon ended a long time ago.

Did he know that the money was from Larry? Did he suspect that she garnered the money using other methods? Now, he not only used his rank as an elder to suppress her at will, but he also assumed that she gathered the funds through disreputable ways.

Larry was old enough to be her grandfather.

How could he think that she was involved with him? It was obvious that Aydin was willing to say anything to get a rise out of her.

"I don't need your opinion on matters that concern Rayan and I."

What Janessa hated the most was that Aydin spoke to her as an elder.

He had gone too far to show off in such an identity.

"It didn't matter in the past.But if it has something to do with the interests of the company, it has everything to do with me.If you hadn't broken up with Rayan, the company wouldn't have ended up like this."

How could he belittle her like this after winning the election at the general shareholder's meeting? Was this an elder's attitude? "Aydin, aren't you afraid that my parents will come and talk to you tonight? If they get lonely wherever they are, then they might ask you to join them!"

Janessa retorted with a tone dripping with sarcasm.

She looked into the distance as if she could see a ghost there.

"Janessa, how dare you speak to an elder this way?"

It was the second time Janessa attempted to frighten him in this way.

As an elder, how could he tolerate her impertinence? Aydin unconsciously followed the direction of her gaze.

"I don’t need to give my respect to an elder like you.I wonder, is that beauty you brought out in public eighteen years old yet?"

Janessa whispered as she stepped closer to Aydin.

Norma stood far away from them so she couldn't hear Janessa’s veiled threats.

Based on the happy look on Norma’s face, it seemed like she was oblivious to the fact that Aydin was having an affair.

Aydin was ruthless when it came to berating her, so she felt no need to pull her punches.

However, it wasn’t the right time to publicize this information.

"How dare you! What are you talking about?"

Aydin was visibly shaken by Janessa’s words.

His eyes widened and he started to tremble.

His anxious disposition confirmed that what Janessa accused him of was true.

While Janessa was out shopping at the mall before, she caught Aydin out with a younger woman by accident.

She wasn't sure at the time, but his reaction confirmed her suspicions.

"Aydin, as long as you remember your place, I can pretend that I didn't see a thing.I don’t think Aunt Norma has a clue.If she found out..."

Janessa drawled, then turned as if to whisper another secret.Ayden put a hand up to stop her.

"What can I do to make you forget about this?"

He didn’t expect this young girl to ensnare him like this.

Certainly not so soon after he won the battle to seize the company.

This was a grave mistake on his part.

His hatred for her parents had projected onto Janessa.

However, he couldn't do anything to her now.

It was more important to appease Janessa before he could even consider getting out of this mess.

"What I want is simple, but I haven't quite decided on it yet.I'll let you know when I've made up my mind.As for whether you think it’s worth to do it or not, it will depend on how much you love that woman."Aydin assumed that Janessa would ask him to relinquish his position of chairman.That woman was prey to him.She didn’t matter at all.

"You're still too young and naive."

If the positions were reversed, he wouldn't give the other party a chance to breathe.

It was like releasing a tiger back into the mountains.

He couldn't risk putting his life in the hands of others.

When Norma approached him impatiently, Aydin sighed in exasperation.

"Aydin, what more could you possibly have to discuss with her? Now that you are the chairman, you don't need to act according to her will.Janessa, you're only a shareholder now.Once you lose, you should be gracious enough to accept defeat.People would only mock you otherwise."

Norma grabbed Aydin's hand and whisked him away.

They won.

Their family finally made their way to the top.

Norma immediately contacted all of her friends and roped Aydin in to celebrate their victory. Janessa understood what she was trying to say, but she couldn't leave the Lu Group just yet.

The company needed someone to manage it anyway.

The entire morning passed similarly.

Sally hadn't replied on WeChat yet, so she switched her phone off and walked out of the Qiu Group.

Even if she had managed to get rid of this time bomb, her problems were far from solved.

As Janessa wandered off, she accidentally stumbled upon a restaurant.

Alana was nearby by coincidence, so they decided to grab a meal together.

These past few days, Janessa often worked overtime in the office.

She wouldn't finish until seven or eight o'clock in the evening.

This was the first time she had a chance to see Alana all week.

However, Alana brought with her some shocking news.

Gordon was put under house arrest by his family.

"When my parents found out that he actually ran out to see you when he had an appointment with me, they started to keep a close eye on him.I was only able to leave the house because I promised them that I wouldn't tell my brother where we were meeting."
