Chapter 98
Chapter 98 1 quickened my pace , feeling the wind at my feet .
Only a fool would stop now .
1 rashed into the elevator and pressed the button for the third floor .
Just as the doors were about to close , a hand suddenly reached out to stop them .
1 froze , my breath catching .
Could it be Hayden chasing after me ? I thought .
Maybe he had been furious after what I said earlier .
But when I looked up , it wasnt Hayden .
It was Ethan .
Oh , its you .
You scared me to death , I said , placing a hand on my chest .
I had really been startled ; Ethan stepped into the elevator , and the doors slid shut again .
He glanced at me , a smirk tugging at the corners of his lips .
Werent you just acting all cool and unconcerned ? I frowned immediately , You actually know hour to joke ? I had thought all killers were supposed to be cold and emotionless .
Ethan didnt respond to that , just quietly stood behind me .
The elevator doors opened soon after , and I took a deep breath before knocking on Deborahs door .
Come in Deborahs voice came from inside .
I walked in alone .
Deborah and Xander slept in separate rooms .
It seemed like many couples got older and preferred to sleep apart .
Xander often hung out in the study , while Deborahs room looked much fresher and more elegant .
The walls were decorated with a few paintings , adding an artistic touch to the room .
Hi , Mrs.
Parker I lowered my gaze , respectfully greeting her .
No matter what .
Deborah had helped me , and she might be upset about the livestream I did earlier .
Now she was calling me , but I wasnt sure what for .
You came up so quickly ? Deborah asked casually , her tone neutral , They dont want me in the dining room .
I replied .
If Hayden could bring Joanna to the Parker residence , it meant I was no longer needed here .
Deborah s sighed .
I had hoped to help you two get together , but … never mind .
Your matters are your own now , and I cant interfere .
Frankly , I dont I froze , instinctively looking up at Deborah Mrs.
Parker , are you saying youre agreeing to our divorcet What about Mr.
Parkers stance on this ? Ill discuss it with him Deborah waved her hand , settling back into her chair .
Since Pax Oceana has been given to you , take good care of it Mr.
Parker , dont worry in a month , Hayden and I will be divorced , and Pax Oceana will be returned to you , I said slowly .
Pax Oceana was a major asset under the Parker Group .
There was no way I could take it with me .
Deborah died me for a moment , her eyes rellecting a hint of appreciation for how understanding I was .
Its our fault .
Mr.
Parker , the Parker family haurit wronged ane .
Im just returning to where I belong .
I said with a slight smile .
There was no such thing as obligatory love in this world .
Hayden never owed me his affection .
Everything was just my fulle persistence .
Chapter 98 Our divorce would simply set everything back in its rightful place .
As I was about to leave , Deborah asked me not to livestream in the Parker residence again , and I promised I wouldnt .
Or rather , this was probably my last time coming to the Parker residence .
When I came downstairs , the dining room was empty except for the maids cleaning up .
Layla and Joanna were sitting in the living room, chatting about something , and Hayden was nowhere to be seen .
I guessed he must have felt awkward and decided to hide away .
ΠΗ While I was lost in thought , Joanna noticed me coming down the stairs .
Yvonne , she called out in a timid voice as if she were afraid of me .
I was almost used to it by now in front of others , her personality was always so unpredictable .
Layla glared at me , her expression unfriendly .
Hmph , Hayden already said he wasnt sick .
What exactly are you trying to pull , saying such things about your own husband ? I couldnt help but laugh .
You just called him my husband .
Who understands this situation better , me or you ? How could he ever admit something like that himself ? Then , I turned my gaze to Joanna , You should know , shouldnt you ? Joanna opened her mouth , her face flustered and anxious .
I It was obvious from her reaction that nothing had happened between her and Hayden .
Otherwise , she would have immediately denied my claim .
Although I didnt know why Hayden hadnt slept with her , seeing her look so flustered at that moment brought me a strange sense of satisfaction .
Layla , being the cunning woman she was , could tell from just a few exchanges that there was more to the story .
She furrowed her brow , studying Joanna .
You dont know ! Hayden hasnt slept with you ? Thats strange , though .
The last time the maid was cleaning , she found condoms .
He must have already slept with someone .
If it wasnt you , then who che could it be ? As soon as Layla finished speaking her eyes widened , and she quickly glanced at me , as if a sudden realization hit her .
Joanna , a little slow on the You … bow could Hayden possibly sleep with you ? He isnt .
Joanna stammered the uptake , stared at me with wide eyes , as though her eyeballs might pop o our of their sockets .
I was momentarily taken aback by Laylas words , surprised that someone was feeding her information about what went on here .
1 had a I always thought she knew nothing when she wasnt around .
But then again , Hayden and I were still married , so whatever happened between us wasnt unusual , nor did it carry any shame .
His sexual abilities arent completely gone , its just … a bit brief , I said lightly , putting on a look of mild regret .
Joannas face twisted in realization , and she immediately started shouting You … you have no shame ! No shame ? I raised an eyebrow , my expression turning cold , Lets be clear .
Hes my husband , so I can do whatever I want .
And what about you ! Youre a mistress .
What right do you have to lecture me ? Joanna bit her lip , then quickly turned to Layla for help .
Mrs.
Parker , you know … It was Hayden who brought me here .
