Chapter 6

“She also said that she would give me a child, a child between me and her and even the name has been chosen, called Blake. Garrick, you have to accept your fate. Wilona doesn’t love you.”

I ignored his provocation and blocked him directly.

When packing my luggage, I saw a bunch of watches and belts of similar styles in the drawer.

Every time she went on a business trip, Wilona would bring back a so-called gift and it was always the same.

I once joked with her, “As a female CEO, you are too stingy to buy a watch worth hundreds of dollars for your husband.”

She retorted, “The gift is small, but the sentiment is great. It’s enough to give you something. Don’t push it too far.”

But since Arnold came to the company, she gave him a famous watch and a car.

I lost my temper and she used another excuse to perfunctorily deal with me.

“You are a technician, why do you need to dress so well? Don’t technicians dress very rustic? Arnold is a returnee and the face of our company. He should dress appropriately, otherwise it will only bring shame to the company. As for giving him a luxury car, he is a director. How can he go out to negotiate contracts with others without a decent car?”

No matter what I was dissatisfied with, she always had a bunch of reasons to prevaricate me.

As I threw all these gifts into the garbage bag, my phone kept vibrating.

The company chat group was very lively.

[Have you heard that Mrs. Barrett went to the auction and bought the most expensive item, an antique worth 6 million dollars and gave it to Mr. Rowse as a birthday present.]

[Oh my God! 6 million dollars? Mrs. Barrett is so generous.]

[I also heard that Mr. Rowse proposed to Mrs. Barrett on the spot and Mrs. Barrett was so moved that she burst into tears.]

[Are you mistaken? I heard that Mr. Rowse has a wife.]

I looked at the calendar on my phone. Today was my and Wilona’s five-year wedding anniversary.

But on this anniversary, she spent it with another man and gave him a valuable gift.

I couldn’t feel any resentment in my heart.

Since I was leaving, why bother so much?

Carrying my luggage to the airport, I glanced at the courier and saw that it was already being delivered.

I thought that the things should be delivered to Wilona soon.

Just as I was about to board the plane, Wilona sent a message: [Honey, I bought you a different gift on my way back from a business trip. I’ll be home when I’m done with the company. Please wait for me at home.]

At the same time, I received two text messages.

One message was a cancellation reminder.

[Dear Mr. Kennedy, your identity has been successfully cancelled and all your documents and mobile phone numbers will be invalid.]

The other message was that the investigation I asked someone to do had a result. I glanced at it and forwarded it to the company group with a sneer.

I turned off my phone and stepped into the boarding channel.

On the other side, Wilona and Arnold had just returned to the company. She looked at the time on her phone and remembered that she hadn’t had dinner with Garrick for so long, so she called her assistant.

“Book a restaurant for me and then call Mr. Kennedy and tell him that I’ll treat him to lunch at noon.”

The assistant did as he was told.

Wilona, who was sitting in the office, looked at the blue sky outside the window and felt happy.

Thinking of buying a different gift for Garrick this time, she had imagined that he would jump for joy after receiving the gift.

But before she could smile, the assistant pushed the door in hurriedly.

“Mrs. Barrett, Mr. Kennedy’s phone number is no longer in service! None of us can find him. Also, the front desk just received a courier from Mr. Kennedy.”
