But now it seems that it was all wishful thinking on my part. All he had in his eyes and heart was Luna Perez and the child.
He doesn't want to divorce, not because he can't bear to leave me, but because he can't bear to give up me, his cash cow.
Seeing my harsh words, Frederick's face darkened, and he finally gritted his teeth and used his trump card.
"Audrey, if you really want a divorce, I will take half of the family property, and you can forget about listing the company."
Frederick's calculation was brilliant. He knew the company was like my child. I poured all my energy into it. I had been preparing for the listing for three years.
He bet that I couldn't bear to leave him and the company, so I would definitely give in.
But he doesn’t know that my children are not just the company, but countless children.
Seeing my dark face, Frederick softened his voice and tried to comfort me.
"Audrey, you know I love you, otherwise I wouldn't have left my child to be with you for twenty years."
"I just made a mistake, it doesn't mean I don't love you anymore."
"You said that when you get old, you would give up the company and accompany me to see the mountains and rivers of the motherland. Now we have an heir, and he will help you manage the company. They have my blood in their veins and their character is clear. It is better to hand it over to outsiders. ..."
Frederick persuaded me slowly and told me all kinds of reasons. If he hadn't glanced at the child, I would have believed him a little.
The calculation that flashed across the three people's eyes could not be hidden.
When he proposed DINK, he was waiting for this day, when I would be too old and no longer have the chance to have children.
He used coercion, seduction, and his illegitimate child with his mistress to successfully take away everything I had.
You are laughing at me behind my back, saying that you are a pig and a love-brained person, and you deserve to live out your life alone.
In my silence, several people left happily.
The circle of friends shows the joyful pictures of a family of three shopping, and the pictures of 999 roses at the airport welcoming the glorious return of the little lover.
Frederick didn't come home for three days in a row. I knew he was living in his suburban villa and didn't want to leave.
Frederick sent me a message every day, asking me to complete the equity transfer as soon as possible, and each time he added a "moo da" emoticon.
"Honey, Luna just came back and everything is unfamiliar to her. I'll go back to be with you after I finish arranging things here. I love you."
I watched coldly as Frederick bought a luxury car and a famous watch for Luna, and watched him proudly show off in his circle of friends.
Caption: After twenty years of being together through thick and thin, I can finally hug you openly.
Scumbags are not only scheming, but also good at hiding. After twenty-two years, he finally doesn't have to pretend anymore.
I just calmly gave his circle of friends a like.
My attitude made them feel that I had given in, and that it was a foregone conclusion that the twins would be brought to the company.
After all, even if we get divorced, I'll be left with nothing, so it's better to please them and have more relatives.
Besides, I am already over fifty. What’s the use of having more money? I don’t have any blood relatives of my own.
Frederick has already started contacting journalists and looking for a venue to hold a press conference.
Secretary Grant Caldwell came to pick me up with a pile of documents. Frederick smiled and told me,
"You need to be more careful when the company goes public. If it succeeds, the market value will increase by 100 million, and it will be easier for Silas Sienna to take over."
Grant agreed with a smile,
"Yes, it will definitely be easier if you have relatives. After all, they are blood relatives."
Frederick didn't understand the hidden meaning in Grant's words and thought I had already told Grant.
After all, Grant has been with me since he graduated from college, serving as both my secretary and my personal assistant. Even though he is almost 40 years old, he has never been married.
