Semua Bab The Plus-Size Ex-Wife's Comeback: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Genevieve's POV "Nadia?" I repeated slowly, gripping my phone a little tighter. "That's impossible." "I thought so too, ma'am," Marissa replied. "That's why I checked the logs three different times before calling you. I wanted to be absolutely certain." I frowned. "No, Marissa. Nadia has been in police detention since the gala. She couldn't possibly have logged into Lennox Global's servers tonight, please explain this to me like I'm five years old” "The login itself didn't come from Nadia," she clarified. "It came from a legitimate Lennox Global employee account. But after tracing the encrypted network traffic, I discovered that the account has been communicating with a device belonging to Nadia." My pulse quickened. "What?" "I matched the digital signature against the devices recovered during her arrest. It's a perfect match." "Are you saying someone inside Lennox Global is working with Dennis and Nadia?" "It's the only explanation that makes sense." A chill crept down my s

Genevieve's POV The moment Dennis appeared on the television, every ounce of calm I'd managed to gather evaporated.My fingers curled so tightly around my coffee mug that I thought it might shatter."I swear..." I muttered through clenched teeth. "If I could climb through that television right now, I'd wrap my hands around his throat."Norman simply smiled, picked up the remote and turned the volume up.Flashes from dozens of cameras lit up the screen as reporters shouted questions from every direction.Dennis raised both hands for silence."Ladies and gentlemen, the allegations made against me over the past few days are completely false. They are nothing more than a carefully orchestrated campaign designed to destroy my reputation.”My stomach twisted."I have remained silent because I believed the truth would eventually prevail. Unfortunately, my silence has only encouraged the people behind these lies.”He sighed heavily before looking directly into the cameras."The person orches

Genevieve's POVBy the time we arrived at Lennox Global, the building was already buzzing.Employees filled the lobby, their conversations dropping to whispers the moment Norman and I stepped through the revolving doors.Some smiled politely, some looked away too quickly and others openly stared.Dennis's press conference had done exactly what he'd intended.It had planted doubt.I kept my head high as we crossed the marble lobby together.Greetings followed us all the way to the executive floor.The moment the elevator doors opened, Marissa was already waiting.She had changed into a navy-blue pantsuit, her hair tied neatly into a low bun, but one look at her face told me she hadn't slept at all."Good morning.""Morning," I replied.Norman glanced at her desk. "You've already started?"She nodded."I barely stopped after leaving the penthouse.""I expected as much."He gave her an approving nod before walking toward his temporary office."I'll be in the conference room reviewing Cal

Norman's POV The meeting officially came to an end, but no one rushed to leave.The atmosphere inside the boardroom had changed completely.The uncertainty that had greeted Genevieve at the beginning had been replaced with respect.The directors gathered their files quietly, each lost in thought after everything they had heard.Genevieve remained at the head of the table for another moment, watching them file out one after another.Just as she turned to leave, her eyes drifted toward one empty chair.She frowned. "Marissa?”"Yes, Mrs. Adams?""Calloway wasn't here”Marissa checked her tablet."He received the notice for the emergency board meeting.""So he deliberately chose not to attend.""It appears so.”Genevieve's expression hardened."Send him a message. Tell him I expect him in my office first thing tomorrow morning.""Yes, ma'am."Without another word, Genevieve walked out of the boardroom.I followed closely behind her and the moment the conference room door closed behind u

Genevieve's POV The bathroom door swung open, and I stepped into the bedroom with a towel wrapped securely around my chest.Warm droplets of water slid down my skin and disappeared against the plush carpet beneath my feet.Steam drifted lazily from the bathroom behind me.I smiled automatically when I saw Norman standing beside the bed."Oh... you're back."I rubbed another towel through my damp hair."I didn't even hear you come in."He didn't smile back.His expression was unusually serious.The warmth in his eyes had been replaced by something I couldn't quite identify.My smile slowly faded."Norman? Are you okay?”He looked at me for several long seconds before speaking."What are you hiding from me, Genevieve?"Every muscle in my body stiffened."...What?""I saw the message."A knot formed in my stomach."What message?""The one that appeared on your phone."He picked up my phone from the bedside table before looking at me again."It was from an unknown number. It asked why yo
