"The money-loser has grown up and learned to elope with men, right?!"
A steel pipe as thick as an arm was swung towards me, and Gavin Rivers stepped in front of me to block it.
He pressed me tightly under him, depriving me of my sight. All I could feel was the increasingly thicker smell of blood in the air.
When Gavin Rivers was put into the ambulance, his eyes narrowed in pain and his voice was weak.
"Yes, I like you."
"Will you stay with me?"
My father was sentenced to three years for intentional injury.
Gavin Rivers had nails in his hands when he went to school in the capital.
After graduation, we decided to start a business and shared a bowl of porridge in a small basement.
My courage was divided between the night when I escaped with him, the time when I confessed my love to him in the ambulance, and the time when I insisted on starting a business despite knowing the difficulties.
So now I see the photos Riley Young sent me.
I don't have the courage left to face it.
The young man who ate porridge and side dishes with me eventually got lost in the world of sex and pleasure.
It took a week to pack up my daughter's and my things.
Gavin Rivers has not been home during this period, but I have never stopped hearing about him.
Gavin Rivers took Riley Young to a business dinner, holding hands throughout the entire event to show their intimacy.
He bought a whole line of new products from a luxury brand just to make Riley Young smile.
According to the press release, Gavin Rivers booked the top floor of the Orchid Pavilion Hotel, and after having dinner with Riley Young, they watched a whole fireworks show that belonged only to them on the terrace.
Heart paralysis causes dull pain.
Gavin Rivers' high-profile behavior during this period has successfully made the headline "Rivers Group President suspected of marriage crisis" stay at the top of the hot list for a long time.
There are many comments below.
[If I were CEO Jiang, I would also choose an assistant. Youth is an asset.]
[They dared to appear in the public eye like this, they might have divorced long ago. ]
[I wanted to say this before, Mrs. Jiang aged a lot after giving birth.]
[Still a good match for the assistant. ]
An entertainment reporter once reported that Gavin Rivers and I were about to get divorced.
Before the manuscript was sent out, Gavin Rivers intercepted it directly.
After making that reporter apologize publicly, his name was never seen in the news again.
Gavin Rivers knows that I care, and he pays close attention to every move online.
Now it feels like the curtain has fallen on our marriage early.
I arrived at my workstation and saw a mountain of documents on my desk.
I took a week off and Gavin Rivers didn't ask about my whereabouts.
I pushed the documents aside and called my assistant.
Sophie Xie's pupils dilated when the Legal Director badge was hung around her neck.
"I will transfer the authority to you later."
"Please tell the company system not to transfer documents that Gavin Rivers doesn't have time to approve to the legal department."
"Sister Xu, you wouldn't really be with Mr. Jiang..."
"Yeah." I pursed my lips, "We're done."
After dealing with all the piled up documents, I went to the top floor with the divorce agreement.
As I got out of the elevator, I could hear a group of people laughing and talking from a distance.
"Ningning, you are still so low-key. I heard everything from Sophie Xie today."
"Yes, no one else can be Mrs. Jiang except you."
"All that's left is to officially announce your identity. We're all waiting for that day when you'll come to protect us."
Riley Young sat in the assistant seat with a big smile on her face.
When she saw me, she said without any surprise, "Sister Xu, are you looking for Mr. Jiang?"
A week later, Gavin Rivers' office is filled with all kinds of mannequins and women's dresses.
Riley Young smiled at me and said, "Boss Jiang is taking me to a dinner party today."
