Ex-Husband Got Crazy When I Disappear

Chapter 109 Joanna was at a loss for words .

She tightly clamped her jaw , unwilling to leave the company but unsure of what to say to save the situation .

Instinctively , she looked at Hayden , her eyes filled with tears , hoping for help .

1 crushed her hopes before she could even speak .

Mr.

Parker , I assume you wont play favorites this time , right ? With that question , all eyes turned to Hayden .

He just looked at me without saying a word .

Time ticked away .

It had been so long that Joanna was getting impatient .

Her voice choked up as she was about to cry .

Hayden , I dont want to leave you … boohoo … Zachary was watching the drama unfold from the sidelines , and neither Dylan nor Stanley spoke up ; it was as if everyone had turned invisible at that moment .

I stared at Hayden , not budging an inch .

When it came to matters of the heart , I lost without a fight .

But in business , I had no reason to fail .

After what felt like forever , Hayden finally turned to Joanna and said , You dont need to come to the office starting tomorrow .

With that one sentence , todays issue was concluded .

The tears that had been welling up in Joannas eyes finally fell .

She wanted to say more , but Hayden had already turned and left .

Hayden .

Unwilling to give up , she chased after him .

I chuckled coldly inwardly and then looked up at Stanley .

Stanley , thanks a lot for today .

No worries .

Stanley gave me a small smile , his eyes full of affection .

Senior , well be heading off ; dont want to disturb you anymore .

Dylan waved at me as he left with Martin and Stanley .

As soon as they left , Zachary walked up behind me , openly complimenting me .

Im really more and more impressed by you ; todays events flowed seamlessly .

You must have planned it for a while , right ? Mr.

Swanson , you flattered me , I replied casually , with a faint smile .

Your expression really looks like that of Mr.

Parker , Zachary teased , then laughed .

But I only just realized how important you are to him .

What ? I thought I heard him wrong .

He must be talking nonsense .

But the smile on his face stayed as he switched the topic .

Now that youve got the full rights to the shares of the Parker Group , when do you have time to discuss the price with me ? I raised my eyebrows and asked with a light smile .

How can you be so sure that Ill sell you the shares ? Is there anyone else who can offer a price as high as mine ? Zachary was quite confident .

In terms of wealth , only the Parker family surpasses him in Elysiumville .

I just smiled and stayed silent .

He soon figured it out , his smile suddenly freezing .

You wouldnt still want to sell them to Hayden , would you ? After everything hes done to you , you cant still love him , right ? I can differentiate between love and money .

I corrected the mistake in his words .

Since there was no love anymore , having more money wasnt a bad thing .

After all , no one would turn down money .

So , how much do you want ? I wasnt scared and just gave a calm smile .

I havent decided yet .

Lets talk about it later .

With that said , I went straight back to the secretarys office .

Richard had just returned , his face full of joy and excitement as he said , Congratulations , Mrs.

Parker .

I just heard you handled the situation perfectly .

Even Mr.

Parker was very impressed with how you dealt with it .

You found it out in such a short time ? I asked , confused .

Its already all over the group chat of the company , Richard said while scrolling through his phone .

Everyones totally on your side , saying you were great for getting rid of the mistress .

They even said … As soon as he said that , he realized hed said something he shouldnt have , his expression turning slightly awkward as he quickly put his phone away .

I jokingly shrugged it off , saying , She just quits her job .

Its not liking that she would disappear from Haydens side .

Besides , whatever happens between them , I dont really care anymore .

Huh ? Richard looked slightly surprised .

I wasnt really keen on continuing the conversation , so I switched topics .

Ive got some things to him the contract for the Joyland Property ? With that , I handed over two copies of the contract .

take care of afternoon .

Could you please give As Richard took them , he asked , Have you been really busy recently , Mrs.

Parker ? He probably noticed I hadnt been in the office much lately … I didnt bother explaining and just said , Just busy today .

Im going to visit my mom .

I see .

You should go early then , leave these to me , Richard said with a smile , After quickly handling a few things at the office , I left to buy some flowers and my moms favorite pastries before heading straight to the cemetery .

The morning had been bright and sunny , but by afternoon , dark clouds had gathered , and thunder was rumbling om As I climbed the hill with the flowers , a fine , steady rain began to fall .

Fortunately , I had a black umbrella with me , or Id be soaked to the skin .

Moms ashes were buried in a spot halfway up the hill , a location I chose myself .

It was near a lavender field , her favorite flower when she was alive .

I thought she would like it .

Mom , are you upset with me for not having a funeral for you ? I gently placed the flowers in front of her tombstone and asked .

Even though I tried hard to suppress my emotions , my voice still had a slight tremble .

That day , when I told Dad Id have a funeral for you , it was just to provoke him .

So much time has passed since then .

I know gatherings , and honestly … I dont have much time myself , I murmured .

you never liked big I sighed , sitting next to Moms grave with an umbrella , bringing out her favorite pastries .

Lucy said she wanted to come too , and I didnt refuse .

You always enjoyed seeing her .

Rest assured , I have a good relationship with all my friends , I added .

I talked to myself for quite a while without realizing that the rain was getting heavier … The raindrops tapping on the umbrella created a peculiar kind of white noise .

I was so caught up in missing my mom that I didnt notice a black umbrella slowly getting closer from not too far away .

Hayden held the umbrella in his right hand , gradually slowing down his pace until he finally stopped .

He stood watching from afar , looking at the frail figure leaning against the gravestone .

It felt like a part of his heart was missing , and the cold wind howling and wailing , piercing through , was almost unbearable … 2/3 Extra Check In Vouchers 1241 d Chapter 109 He had been standing there long before Twy arrived .

Oh .

Thadnt though it was you I never imagined youd show up here , Lucy snorted , looking at Hayden with disdain .

Almost everyone seemed so like his cold and aloof CEO vibe , calling it all sorts of names like forbidding charm … Bun Lay just wasnt into t Lacy thought .

He is cold and emotionless .

Whats so good about that ? Hayden didnt need to turn around to know who was coming .

Only Yvonne and the people with her dared to speak to him like this .

See that Yvonne missed the last chance to see her mom because of you .

What were you doing at the time ? Getting cozy with Joanna , right ? Lucy mocked him without mercy .
