Chapter 1880 Give Him a Chance
Yvette glanced at the woman behind the department head, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to introduce her.“I forgot to introduce her. She’s our new employee, Whitney Locke, who just came back from abroad. She’s a rare talent that used to work for LG. Whitney, this is our company’s vice president who is also Mr. Sheldon’s wife.”It turned out that Lance’s ex-girlfriend’s name was Whitney Locke.Whitney smiled politely and nodded without saying a word.It felt like Whitney could not let go of her arrogance, as if bowing her head was a humiliation.Yvette just thought that it was funny. She retracted her gaze and said in a dull voice, “Foreign companies have much better benefits than our company. Ms. Locke, why are you interested in our company?”Whitney Locke did not want to talk to Yvette, but she was afraid that the department head would notice something odd about her.“There are more opportunities in Mediania, and it’s also less competitive.”The department head always felt t
Chapter 1881 Afraid That She’ll Misunderstand
The assistant scratched his head and looked around the conference room.“Mr. Sheldon was just in here, but he just disappeared in a blink of an eye. He’s not in his office either since I just came from there.”The assistant somehow felt that Yvette’s smile was not a real smile, so he dared not joke with her.Yvette’s heart sank completely.Her eyes turned gloomy.The assistant said, “Ms. Quimbey, why don’t you go back to your office and wait. I’ll give Mr. Sheldon a call.”Yvette refused.“No need. You can go about your work. I’ll just contact him myself.”The assistant saw no fluctuations in her expression. She did not look like she was angry.He nodded before he turned around and went about his business.Yvette paused. She had a bad premonition.Lance was not in the conference room or his office, so where would he be?Her hands that were carrying the coffee were unconsciously sweating.Yvette pretended as if nothing was wrong and wandered around.Everyone was used to se
Chapter 1882 I Don’t Love Her
Yvette overheard their conversation to this point and did not want to hear any more.She did not know what was the point of eavesdropping.Up to now, how could Lance still decide to hide it from her?The entire company already knew about this matter, but she was the only one kept in the dark.If Yvette had not known about it in advance, would she have acted like a fool and gone to make friends with her new colleague?Yvette stood there. For the first time, she felt that she was so pathetic.Lance knew everything about her, but he did not want to share his secrets with her.After one short year of marriage, Yvette thought that the two of them were compatible enough to grow old together.But now, it seemed like it was a little too far-fetched for their relationship to last so long.That stairway door separated both their worlds.Yvette did not understand this side of Lance at all.Whitney questioned Lance like she was his legitimate girlfriend.“Misunderstand? You’re afraid t
Chapter 1883 He’s Blind
Lance walked away after he finished speaking.Whitney stared at his back in shock. Her face was extremely glum.“Who said that I don’t love her?”Whitney thought, ‘This means that Lance loves Yvette! He actually loves her?!’Even back then when they were at their most intimate, Lance never said that he loved Whitney.She thought that he was incapable of love, much less willing to express it.However, he just admitted to her that he loved another person.......Lance walked out of the stairway. When he passed the trash can, he paused in his footsteps.His expression changed slightly when he saw what was on top of the trash can.He did not remember seeing these two cups of coffee on top of the trash can when he walked in.Did someone come by?Lance wrinkled his brow. He picked up the two cups of coffee with a cold face and went to his workstation.“Whose are these?”Lance asked the right person.His assistant smiled, and his eyes lit up.“Mr. Sheldon, aren’t these the cof
Chapter 1884 Divorce or Separation
Lance was feeling anxious and complicated inside.He called home, but the maid was the one who answered the call.“Is Madam home?”The maid said, “No, didn’t Madam go to the office to look for you?”She was just wondering about it.Lance said, “Let me know when she’s home.”“Yes, sir.”Lance let out a deep breath after hanging up the phone.Yvette overheard his conversation with Whitney earlier.‘Would she overthink things?’ Lance thought.Whitney’s words earlier were very harsh. However, since Lance just found out about his mother’s ploy to get rid of Whitney, he felt indebted to her and just let her keep venting her grievances.Thus, he did not retort.Who knew that it would be such a coincidence?Lance looked at Yvette’s phone number and fell into deep thought. ‘We were just being intimate this morning. Yet now, our relationship is about to be over so soon? I don’t want it to end, and I can’t let this end...’He no longer had the mood to go back to work. Thus, he drove
Chapter 1885 There’s No Misunderstanding
There were too many aspects involved in a divorce. Thus, Yvette proposing a divorce was an earth-shattering revelation.If the whole world knew that Yvette had lost to Lance’s ex-girlfriend, how could she still maintain her reputation as the great Ms. Quimbey?A separation would be the same as giving up Lance, but not the identity of Mrs. Sheldon.Yvette would just be like countless rich wives; either willingly keeping up a harmonious act and tolerating such a nasty thing, or squandering money on their sugar babies.It did not matter.Of course, Yvette would also have no right to meddle in her husband’s private affairs anymore.Yvette could not decide if it was better to cut off their relationship once and for all or to keep an out-of-sight, out-of-mind attitude.Divorce or separation?Nicole was probably shocked by Yvette’s sudden question.She was silent for a few seconds before she asked Yvette tentatively, “Yvette, are you joking? What happened?”Yvette took a deep breath

Chapter 1887 I Can Explain
Lance went over and sat next to Yvette. He reached out and touched her face, which was warm and delicate like a baby’s skin. At this time, her cheeks were flushed from intoxication.Yvette’s sleeping face looked so harmless and ignorant.When Lance saw her, all the anger he had pent up subsided.Lance had never before imagined that he would be so attached to a woman.He used to think that marriage was just business. Feelings were optional, and all they needed was mutual respect.Back then, Lance never hoped that he would fall in love with his wife.However, Yvette’s appearance disrupted his plans.Yvette was like an uncontrollable variable running amok in his life, but she was indispensable.She warmed up his originally strict and dull life, and he was completely immersed in that warmth.Lance thought, ‘I was so close to losing Yvette… It’s great that she’s back.’He looked at her for a long time in silence without moving a muscle.When the maid came over with the hangover t
