His Rejected Wife Became a Billionaire Chapter 12
“You met your cousin already?” Richmond said, a small smile dancing on his face. “Yes. He saved me from Britney Ashford before she could cause an ugly scene.” Joan's response made Richmond and Titan laugh out loud. “Joan,” Richmond called, clearing his throat before continuing. “I know you're smart and humble. But humility doesn't stop you from walking around with security details. Why wasn't your bodyguard with you?”Joan dropped her eyes to her lap and began fidgeting with her fingers. “I thought he might need some rest too.” Her voice was low.Richmond sighed. “Alright. Titan will go through your deck for the shareholders meeting tomorrow. He'll help you prepare. I've had dinner already, so permit me to go have some rest.” Richmond left Joan in the hands of Titan. They talked between bites; about themselves, nothing serious. After dinner, Titan opened his laptop and they began going through the slides. “You're meeting important people tomorrow,” Titan started. Joan’s gaze lock

Joan stepped out of a black SUV and smoothed her navy suit jacket. She hadn't taken three steps before bodyguards surrounded her.Even at night, cameras still flashed. Reporters lunged forward, but the bodyguards blocked them instantly.Richmond had told her before they left home: “No press, no photos until your feet are firm in the industry. You've got enemies right now. Don't give them a reason to take you down.” He was the one who called the network to bring down the story about him buying Joan a car. The anchor of the news was now blacklisted. Joan had agreed with him without argument. She didn't want to be seen either. Not while Keon was still in the picture. Not while his name could drag her down. Richmond noticed how tense she was. He reached out, took her hand and led her into the hotel. They had arrived late because Richmond had a second thought of going with her. The meeting had been adjourned until the following day, so Joan waited for Richmond to finish his, and they w

It was late and Joan still wasn't home. Keon paced in front of her room, his mind racing. Every second, his eyes snap to his wristwatch. He'd stepped outside about five times already to scan the driveway for car headlights. “Dinner is ready,” Kimberly's voice came from behind him, flat and worn out. He gave two quick nods and followed her to the dining room. He wasn't hungry, but he couldn't afford another fight tonight. As the maid set the plate down in front of him, he looked up at her. “Did your madam say where she was going?” “No, sir” the maid shook her head. “I was about to ask about her.” Keon's eyes narrowed, the fork he was holding slipped from his hand and clattered to the floor.“What do you mean? I left all of you in this house.” “We haven't seen her since yesterday morning….”“What!”Keon's voice cracked. “Joan didn't sleep in this house yesterday and no one thought to inform me?” His chest tightened. He shoved his chair back and stormed out of the dining room t

Keon felt overwhelmed and frustrated by Joan's response. He called her, but her phone was switched off. Later, his calls went straight to voicemail. He took the early flight like she'd advised. He delivered the presentation himself, but the clients weren't satisfied. They said what he and his team presented bore no resemblance to the proposal. “I doubt any of you wrote the proposal that was sent to us,” one of the clients said. Keon was unraveling. His mother and sister were on his neck, demanding Joan apologize. And Joan? Her number still wouldn't go through. He got home and bolted to his room. Joan's wardrobe was empty. Panic shot through him. He hurried to her room and found it locked. But the pair of flip-flops lying in front of the door gave him a small measure of peace. His mind relaxed, hoping she had packed her things into her room, and hadn't left him.“You’re working yourself up over her lately. You barely even have time for me,” Kimberly walked up to him, arms crossed

Just after she dropped Keon’s call, she got a text from Richmond saying they should meet. Joan dressed up in a simple top and jean trousers, to go meet him in one of the family guest houses. In twenty minutes, she was there. “The Langley heir should have a car and security detail by now,” Richmond said warmly, rising to greet her. He pulled her into a quick side hug, smiling. “Uncle, I need to be low-key,” Joan replied, taking her seat. Richmond sat across from her, one eyebrow raised. “And why is that?” Joan pressed her lips together and rolled her eyes. “I just want to stay humble.” Richmond shook his head. “Humility doesn't mean making yourself a target. Remember, you're not safe out there.” Joan nodded thoughtfully. Richmond gave a smile and then returned his attention to his phone. For a moment, Joan just watched him in silence, not wanting to distract him from whoever he was texting. “You’ll go home with a new car,” Richmond said, looking up and dropping the phone on th

Joan woke to the shrill ring of her phone. Half-awake, she fumbled for it and picked up the call.“What the hell has come over you, Joan?” Mrs. Alice Thompson's voice flooded the line.Sleep vanished from her eyes instantly. She sat up, rubbing her eyes, trying to piece together what she could have done wrong. But nothing came to her mind. “Where were you yesterday?” Alice spat, anger dripping from her tone.“Do you know how much you’ve cost the company?” Joan frowned in confusion. “What are you talking about, mom?” “Where did you go? You missed the meeting with the client. And now he pulled out” Joan raised an eyebrow and let out a low chuckle. She didn't reply to Alice. Instead, she glanced at her screen and saw seven missed calls, all from Keon.Apparently he informed his mother when he couldn't reach her. “Joan!” Alice barked.“I was the one who got us the contract in the first place. And unfortunately we lost it back.” Joan's voice was low but cold. The line went silent.
