At the mention of Maeve, Marina didn’t look good. Shawn, who knew her, immediately found it.
“Marina, you know her?”
Shawn thought about it carefully. Maeve had just graduated from university not long ago and was promoted by the president of the Duncan Group. The two of them should not have met.
“I don’t know him. I just find it a bit strange.”
Marina forced herself to calm down. Shawn looked happy and easy to talk to. But in fact, he was very rebellious. He would not be happy if he sacrificed his lover for the family.
Therefore, Marina was not stupid to do that. She was afraid it would separate Shawn from her.
“Why is it strange?”
Shawn did not understand what Marina meant.
“Shawn, you also know the hidden rules of the workplace. Not long after Ms. Aston graduated, she became the chief secretary of the branch company and participated in making major decisions. Isn’t that a bit…”
There was always a story between the boss and the secretary.
Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion, many big companies would adjust for this. Even Kenny, the secretary of Ryder, was a man.
As a secretary, it was always inconvenient for women to do business.
“What are you thinking about!”
Shawn laughed. If it was someone else, it might be true. But it could not have happened to the president of the Duncan Group.
William’s wife, Jane, was also the best female president in the business circles. The couple was very loving, and it was well known among the wealthy.
William and Jane?
Marina curled her lips and forced a smile. How could she forget the two of them?
They were the characters mentioned in the original book. Although there was not much description about them, they had a significant influence.
The couple was indeed in love and couldn’t be separated. It was said that the couple once faced death together, but they still couldn’t be separated.
Marina couldn’t comment on such unrealistic love because she didn’t believe it.
How could a person never change his heart?
“So, Ms. Aston is really capable, and she doesn’t have a background. Now she is still renting a house.”
Shawn said casually.
Marina was good at chitchat. Shawn’s words made Marina worried. Because Shawn didn’t just like Maeve but cared about her.
If they were just colleagues, how could Shawn know Maeve’s personal life!
When mentioning Maeve, Shawn said a lot about how difficult it was for Maeve and how capable she was at work.
“Then, you can invite her to Dad’s birthday banquet!”
Marina was a little anxious. According to the book’s plot, Ryder and Maeve were met on the second business trip abroad.
Maeve was robbed, and Ryder happened to pass by and save her. From then on, the two of them were entangled.
In order to marry Maeve, Ryder was crueler to Marina.
In the book, the female lead was moral. Maeve even escaped at first because Ryder had been married.
Then, Maeve was caught by Ryder. And Ryder finally realized. After getting Nicole’s approval, Ryder and Maeve finally got together.
But now, Marina was here, and she didn’t want to play the game with them.
So, she decided to help them get together as soon as possible, and she would be a bullied wife who was abandoned by a wealthy family and had no choice but to return to her family.
Originally, she didn’t want shares or jewelry. But now, it was impossible. She couldn’t be gotten rid of without money.
Ryder was not a good man, but he was good at making money. Marina would not leave everything to them.
Maeve was not moral at all. She learned that Ryder had a family and a child, and she was still willing to be a mistress. She pretended to be firm and kindhearted. A good person couldn’t do such a despicable thing.
How shameless Maeve was!
The more Marina thought about it, the more disgusted she was. She held back her anger and smiled. “Shawn, you can invite her to be your female companion and take her to the banquet!”
Marina was sure that Maeve would agree.
Shawn was unmarried. Although he used to be a bit fickle in love, he was a good person. A prodigal who returned was more precious than gold. Wasn’t it because Ryder was rich that Maeve chose him even knowing he was married?
“That’s good too. I’ll introduce you to each other.”
Shawn was very happy and left in a short while.
Looking at the back of Shawn, Marina’s eyes darken. She couldn’t avoid what would come but face it.
Let Ryder and Maeve be together as soon as possible so Shawn wouldn’t get hurt.
Marina couldn’t sleep soundly at night because she had something in her mind. As long as she thought of Shawn being entangled with Maeve and was deeply hurt in the end, Marina felt uncomfortable.
Marina was cannon fodder. This was Marina’s original fate, but Shawn didn’t deserve to be like that.
Marina, Shawn, and her family were all ruined by Ryder in the end. Marina couldn’t accept this. She wanted to pick up the kitchen knife and kill Ryder!
However, she was terrified when facing a demon.
When Marina was in a daze, there were light footsteps sounded.
After a busy day of work, Ryder felt very tired. He did not stay in the company and insisted on going home.
Marina had fallen asleep. She occupied the whole bed and didn’t seem to sleep well. Most of her chest was exposed.
Ryder thought that Marina was scheming. He had not returned for several days, and Marina still wanted to seduce him.
Ryder suddenly felt a little hot. He went to the bathroom and took a cold shower.
Marina had a bad temper, but she had a good figure. This was the main reason why he married her. Anyway, women were nothing to him.
Since Ryder was a child, he did not have a father to love him. His mother hated his father for not marrying her and beat and scolded Ryder all the time. All of these made Ryder feel hatred.
What these people really cared about was the money of the Langdon family.
If all of the Langdon family’s money became Ryder’s one day, what would those people do, and what were their expressions?
Ryder was excited.
When Marina was about to fall asleep, she felt she was stared at by a hungry wolf. Her body was tense, and she could not pretend to sleep.
“What?”
Marina rubbed her eyes. When she saw Ryder, she asked softly, “You’re back.”
“Why? Shouldn’t I be back?”
Ryder smiled sarcastically. Did this woman still want to go out and find someone else, so she didn’t want to see him?
“What did you say?”
Marina couldn’t keep up with Ryder. Although she did not want him to come back, she did not show it. How did he know?
“Unfortunately, I did come back.”
Ryder took off his pajamas and revealed his muscular upper body. He pushed Marina aside and lay on the bed.
This woman didn’t want him to come back, but he couldn’t let her do as she wished. So he decided to go home every night if possible.
Seeing her unhappy, Ryder felt very comfortable.
Marina was speechless.
Was he crazy? He was as rebellious as a teenager.
