My Ex-husband Begs Me Back

Chapter 1598: Standing Tall

Originally, it was planned for Aria to marry Rex, but Aria had no interest in Rex at all. Moreover, there was an age difference of a few years, so the adults eventually gave up on the idea.

Therefore, whether it was the Simpson Group or the Ward Group facing issues, the other party would always do their utmost to help.

Ayan said to Rex, "Just tell me how you want to handle it. This matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later. If Mario takes the initiative, it might have a negative impact on you. It's better to address it directly while Mario is busy with the SynergyCon project."

Rex nodded in agreement with Ayan's suggestion.

Rex said, "Yes, you're right."

Ayan didn't involve himself too much because he was the decision-maker for the Ward Group. Ultimately, it was up to him how things would be handled.

At times like this, Ayan could understand very well because he had encountered numerous similar situations. Fortunately, he had always managed to turn things around.

In reality, the business world is no different from a battlefield. Sometimes, the cunning of certain individuals can cause a company to disappear from the industry. Every day, companies declare bankruptcy, while new ones slowly rise. The competition is about who can stand tall and remain unshaken.

After listening to Ayan's advice, Rex returned home after dinner, chatting, and distributing gifts.

During their absence, the house had been cleaned by the housekeeper, and everything was as usual without any changes.

The two returned to their bedroom, too tired to unpack their luggage.

They had to visit the Ward mansion again the next morning, so they quickly took a shower and prepared to rest.

After lying down, Rex suddenly spoke up, "Sienna, I have something to tell you."

Rex was very serious. Although she couldn't see his expression, Sienna could sense from his tone that he was feeling down.

She immediately turned to face him and asked, "What is it? Just tell me!"

Rex had been in a heavy mood for the past couple of days. She knew it was because of company matters and had been avoiding related topics. Perhaps talking with Ayan tonight had lightened his mood a bit? Sienna didn't know what he was thinking at that moment, but she was happy that he was willing to share with her.

She pursed her lips slightly and gazed at Rex without blinking.

Rex raised his hand to brush away the hair from her cheek and said in a hoarse voice, "The Ward Group is facing some issues. The situation is quite tricky and troublesome. If not handled properly, it could have a significant impact on the Ward Group and might even lead to many rumors."

It's normal for a company to face rumors; these are unavoidable. However, the current issue could seriously tarnish the Ward Group's reputation and leave a lasting stain on its name.

Otherwise, Rex wouldn't be so anxious.

Currently, only internal personnel knew about this issue. If it became public, even the Ward family would be subject to widespread gossip.

Rex's expression remained solemn as Sienna asked tentatively, "Rex, we just took our wedding photos and haven't even received them yet. You're not planning to divorce me because of the Ward Group's troubles, are you?"

This was the only thought that crossed Sienna's mind. Why else would Rex seem so hesitant?

The mere thought made Sienna feel indescribably uncomfortable.

Her tone was one of anger when she said this, but her hand under the blanket instinctively clenched tightly. She wondered what she would do if this was indeed Rex's intention.

Knowing her own pride, if Rex truly suggested this, she would likely agree.

She couldn't tolerate Rex abandoning her out of fear that she would be implicated. It might seem like he was doing it for her good, but in reality? It would mean he saw her as someone who could share good times but not bad ones. She didn't need such well-intentioned actions; they would only make her feel

useless.

So when she spoke those words, there was a sharpness in her demeanor.

Rex was momentarily stunned but quickly reassured her, "I never thought that way and never intended to."

Sienna remained silent, seemingly unconvinced.

Rex promised earnestly, "I swear, I never thought that way. Trust me this once, okay?"

Sienna finally fell silent, seemingly convinced.

She asked, "Then what is it?"

Rex then explained everything in detail. After listening, Sienna's expression also turned serious. Before Rex could explain further, she suddenly asked, "Is it Mario?" Rex didn't answer but was surprised by how accurately she guessed.

Rex said, "I'm telling you this not because I want you to do anything but because I want you to know. Ayan said that if I kept it from you, you would feel I didn't trust you enough. I agree with him and don't want to hide it from you."

Sienna smiled, "Ayan knows me well."

She could imagine that if Rex had kept silent and handled everything on his own like a mute person, she would undoubtedly be furious when she found out later-extremely furious.

Rex gently pinched her cheek and said in a hoarse voice, "There's no need for you to confront him. I'll handle this matter. If I can't manage it, then you can help me out. Okay?"

Sienna removed his hand and said seriously, "Since you're pleading with me so earnestly, I'll reluctantly agree. But you have to promise me one thing."

"Go ahead."

"No matter what progress is made,

don't hide it from me. Now that I

know about it, if you don't keep me informed, I'll go confront him myself and make a big deal out of it." Sienna's personality was such she didn't care about the consequences. If someone & something like this, then no one should have an easy time. She understood the severity of the situation and knew she probably couldn't solve it herself; otherwise, Rex wouldn't be so troubled.

Rex chuckled and said, "Alright, I promise you. Whether the progress is good or bad, I'll inform you first thing."

"Good. It's settled then."

She extended her hand for a pinky promise with Rex.

Rex initially thought that after telling Sienna, she would react emotionally and want to confront Mario immediately. But seeing her calm and cooperative response now made him wonder if he had overthought things.

However, Rex had no idea how difficult it was for Sienna to suppress her emotions at that moment.
