After Leslie escaped from the door, she panted heavily. She ran for a long time until she saw there was no one behind her.
Tears could not stop sliding down from her eyes.
Christopher finally knew. Finally he believed that she didn’t do anything.
But what’s the point?
All the damage could no longer be avoided. All the dead people couldn’t be revived, either.
What could he make up for knowing that now?
She cried not because she still loved him, but for the aggravation she has suffered for so many years.
How ridiculous she was! She gave so much for such a man who didn’t believe her.
When Phoenix arrived at the hotel, he saw Leslie crouching in front of the hotel, hiding her face and crying.
Three years.
For three years, she gritted her teeth to support the company and work hard for her career. She never aggravated like today.
He clenched his hands and his heart was full of anger.
He had a very bad suspicion in his mind.
In fact, she still loved that man, right?
If it wasn’t for him, how could she be crying like this?
“Leslie, let’s go home.”
Phoenix walked toward Leslie and gave his hand to her.
Leslie heard the words and raised her head. A pair of eyes haloed with watery mist, looking at him.
“Phoenix, everyone in my family was dead. Do I still have a home?”
Her voice was soft. It was different from the voice in the workplace.
Phoenix was full of pity. He hugged her. His eyes were filled with deep love, “As long as you are willing, I am willing to give you a home. This home does not need to be big, but there are two of us. I will give you the warm you want.”
Leslie buried her head as she whispered, ” Phoenix, I am a woman who has had an abortion. I am not worthy of your love. You deserve a better woman.”
Phoenix knew she was just looking for an excuse. But he didn’t mind this at all.
He was willing to wait.
When Leslie went followed by Phoenix, Christopher just came to the door.
He searched the whole parking lot without seeing any sign of her.
Where did she go?
The Ward Group!
Christopher suddenly remembered the person who recently tried to buy the Ward Group was her!
He asked his assistant to investigate all the information of the Steffen’s CEO.
Christopher did not expect Leslie did not die in the past three years. She had her own career relied on herself in City A.
He resented himself. Leslie was so smart since she was a child. She was the top student in her school and even gained an acceptance letter to Harvard University in the United States.
But she gave up something because of him again and again.
She was so smart but she fell in love with people like a silly woman.
So she preferred not to go out to work, just because he wanted her to stay at home and be a full-time wife for three years.
She had no friends to talk to.
She waited for him at home for three years, alone and desperate.
Christopher hated himself. Even he wanted to give himself a slap.
Why did he not see her efforts! If only he would have come home earlier, he would have seen her forlorn expression. If he could have come home earlier, he would have been able to chat with her and she would not be so lonely at home.
For three years of marriage, he was the only person in her world.
But he abandoned her.
Christopher looked at the information in his hand and sobbed uncontrollably. The file on his hand was wet with his tears once again.
The assistant saw his regretful look. He could do nothing but sigh.
“President, you should not be discouraged. Isn’t Mrs. Loomis still alive? There is still a hope for you. I had investigated that she was only living with the grandson of the Steffen Group now. The two are not engaged to be married.”
“What do you mean just living together?”
Christopher was so angry that he threw all the files in his hand to the ground.
He was crazy with jealousy when he thought of that man being with Leslie for the past three years.
Leslie was living with him now. He was even more furious.
Leslie belonged to him alone. No one else can touch her! Anyone who touches her will die!
The next day Leslie saw an unexpected guest standing at her office door when she had just entered her office.
“Leslie, come home with me!”
Christopher arrived at Steffen’s building under the pretext of talking business with the Steffen.
He stayed up all night last night, going crazy with jealousy at the thought of her being alive, but with a leering man by her side.
However, Leslie overlooked him. She walked directly to his position, said in a cold voice, “Mr. Loomis does not need to come here with false sentiment. I will not give up the project of the Royal City Group. I will redo the plan to get what I should get. As for the Ward Group, it originally belongs to me. It is you hijacked it. I will get it back as well.”
Christopher put two pieces of file in front of her, “This is the contract and project development plan for the Royal City Group’s vacation resort. I give you all of them. And I will inject money for free to help you develop.”
“This is the transfer contract of all shares of the Ward Group. As long as you sign it, the Ward Group will all be yours.”
Christopher had only caustic demands in his eyes. However Leslie just took the contract but refused to give him a reply.
He also tried to pull her back, but Leslie called for security to pull him out coldly.
“Leslie, I won’t let you go. I will wait for your back.”
