THE WIFE HE BETRAYED, THE WOMAN HE FEARS のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Julian's POV.My brows lifted with excitement and mockery as I watched my sister struggle with words. I have been waiting for a day like this. A perfect opportunity to humiliate and rip her off the little confidence and respect she had gathered over the past few months. I have heard from some of the board members and executives how she blew their minds at the first board meeting weeks ago. That was not the report I was expecting but I didn't think too much of it. She suddenly doesn't qualify to be a good CEO just because she was able to memorize somethings and recite them without help. But things were starting to move too fast. The proposal she submitted seemed to have a lot of potential and some of the board members and top executives were beginning to buy into the idea. I didn't work so hard by my father's side only for my sister who had done nothing all along come over and take my company away from me. I was very happy when she left the first time, and I will do anything to wa

Julian's POVMy face twisted in anger as I heard him speak and I felt like pouncing on him, but he's elderly and we are in the public so I'm forced to control myself. “What the hell did you just say?” I was almost yelling at him, but he didn't back down. He rose from his seat and looked at me dead in the eyes. “You heard me, Mr Julian. I think what you are doing is very wrong.” He answered me firmly and I could feel my anger rising to the top. “And what exactly are we doing?” I gritted my teeth. “You are trying to sabotage your sister and ruin her chances of leading the company. That's not fair to her and your father's legacy.” He insisted and I rolled my eyes. “Oh please spare me with the boring talk about my father's legacy. Why must I listen to that bullshit?” I sneered and brought out another briefcase from behind the chair. “I know exactly what the problem is. You want more money right? I'm going to give it to you if that is what you want, there's no need to play hard to ge

Lucia's POVI sighed depressingly as I clamped my hands around the wine glass I was holding. The last thing I need right now is to keep thinking about that useless Santoro, but I don't seem to have any choice.He's my freaking husband for goodness sake and we see each other everyday. When I first saw Santoro for the first time, it was love at first sight and I somehow thought we would make the perfect couple. That was why I insisted to my father that he finds a way to make sure I get together with him. And his greedy mother made it even easier to get him. If only I had known that dumb wife of his, Sofia was the brain behind his success. I only got to find out right after we got married, but I'm not going to give up on my marriage. I won't let Sofia laugh at me for snatching her husband and then failing woefully at it. “I can't let her have the last laugh. Santoro is going to have to be useful whether he likes it or not. Damn! That useless husband of mine.” I complained and sipped

Santoro's POV “What!” My voice descended with a growl and I removed my tie and dumped it on the table as I was already feeling terribly suffocated. “They are headed your way right now, Santoro. You might want to brace yourself.” My office assistant said and my frown deepened with a shrug.“There's no way I'm taking bribes on behalf of anyone. This is wrong…” I whispered into the phone and suddenly the door to my office flung open and Mayor Eduardo and my mother barged into the office. It's already bad enough that they bully right inside the house. They won't let me have some peace over here as well. “Good afternoon, Mayor Eduardo. Good afternoon mother…” I greeted them both and my mother rolled her eyes. “So what's happening here? I don't see any contract signings taking place.” The Mayor said and I heaved a deep sigh feeling exhausted.This is the only thing he does whenever he comes here, criticizes and makes me feel unworthy. “We are working on it, Mayor Eduardo. We have plan

Sofia's POVI slumped on the chair with intense excitement."Are you sure I passed?" I asked the tutor jus to be sure I wasn't dreaming and she nodded her head."You have shown immense strength and a high level of tolerance through out the three months that we have tutored you, Miss Estaban." One of them said."Exactly! You have even surpassed most MBA level holder and I'm so happy and proud of you." Another one of them said and I felt tears threaten to fall down my eyes. "Thank you very much, I could never have done it without the help from the three of you." I thanked them and my mother hugged me from behind."You have done really well, sweetheart. Now you can rest out a little bit." She said and I agreed with her. I've stretched myself a lot these past few months and I need to take a step back."Thank you mom," I whispered to her.The following week, I was back to work feeling more energied and excited. With my new found knowledge, I felt truly unstoppable.I scurried through old
