Chapter 182: How Long Will Your Marriage Last?
"But Mr. Leinster said that it was the pattern you liked, madam, and he instructed that the furnishings be done to your liking."
When Yvonne heard this, she smiled and stared Jessica with her beautiful eyes, which made the latter guilty.
"So you hear that, it’s none of your business whether your boss have a good appetite or comfortable quilt."
Yvonne didn’t expect Jessica, who had backstabbed her in her previous life, to appear once again in this life.
Only this Jessica Lester was actually even more useless than in her last life!
Back then, she had seduced Zachary by bringing him food and was dispatched to the cafeteria as a waitress, and ended up being sentenced to three years in prison because she tried to disfigure Yvonne with a hot soup, which resulted in hurting Tracy Lewis.
And in this life, she’s still so wrong-hearted.
Instead of cooking this time, she was trying to warm his bed!
Yvonne continued, "The company spent so much money to hire you to work, so that you can contribute to the company, not to care about the boss’s quilt." Having seen the insidiousness of her methods in her previous life, she had to be wary of the woman in front of her as well.
Jessica didn’t expect that text message to be seen by Jessica, and finally got annoyed and desperate.
"Mrs. Leinster, I’m just concerned about my boss, I have no other intentions. Is it necessary to be so sensitive?"
Yvonne saw her aggressiveness and didn’t say anything, waiting to see what else she could say.
When Jessica saw that she stayed in silence, she thought Yvonne was in the wrong and continued arguing.
"If the same thing was done by Mr. King, Mrs. Leinster wouldn’t feel anything wrong about that. You sneered me just because I’m a woman, that’s too much, isn’t it?"
Yvonne was tired.
It was obvious that she was the one who seduced her husband, now she said she was nothing wrong and it even seemed like someone was making things difficult. She was really good at it!
There were two children waiting at home and the husband was still not awake. Now she had to deal with a difficult woman.
She didn’t bother to play word games with Jessica, so she said bluntly.
"Ms. Lester, please make it clear, I have no time to sneer at you, I’m just here to fire you!"
"I’ve already submitted your resignation letter to the Human Resources Department for you, so it’s still decent for you to leave now by simply walking away, otherwise if word gets out that you seduced your married boss, you can’t stay in Hiltonan anymore." Yvonne said indifferently, holding her arms.
"You came here because Mr. Parker pulled some strings. Otherwise, how could you find a job in CEO’s office? You know that better than anyone else, don’t you?"
Jessica, who was not bad in her studies in the previous life, somehow became a slacker in this life.
Even the dressing style had changed. In her last life she was more innocent, in this life she looked not much different from a normal woman.
Zachary had many secretaries, and he didn’t have the time to select everyone in the secretarial department one by one.
So as long as she didn’t catch others’ attention or make any mistakes, Zachary would never find out what she had done to get the job.
The worst thing would be, she was fired due to some task that she couldn’t finish.
That was why Jessica was so desperate to hook up with him for her career.
But now, her plans went wrong because of Yvonne!
"You..."
Hearing that she had been fired, Jessica was instantly annoyed and furious.
"Yvonne Taylor, I’m Mr. Leinster’s secretary, if I have to be fired, it’s Mr. Leinster’s decision, who gives you the right to do it?"
"Or do you think a marriage where you have to flip through your husband’s phone to control his social life for security really goes much further?!"
...
"To fire an important employee of the company just for peeking at messages from her husband, is Mrs. Leinster so used to being a rich lady that you think the workplace is just like a child’s play, with you as the center of the world?"
King on the side turned pale when he heard her say that. "Jessica, stop it now! Hurry up and apologize to Mrs. Leinster!" If others didn’t know, he would know. What a terrifying creature Yvonne was!
Not to mention how important she was in Zachary’s heart, even if she wasn’t his favorite woman today, what she was capable of would beat her down easily!
There was surely someone who was so bold and blind.
King was worried, while Jessica kept speaking.
"Apologize, why should I apologize? I’m Mr. Leinster’s secretary, his comrade in the workplace! She’s a housewife who doesn’t touch company matters, why should she fire me!"
King silenced, "..." He was afraid that HR Department hired a fool.
He was now extremely worried that Yvonne would ruin the whole General Manager’s Office when she got angry!
Looking at Yvonne’s smiling eyes again, King became even more anxious.
He was terrified.
Yvonne was just in the mood.
"You’re asking why can I, a housewife, fire you, right?"
Yvonne was calm, but what she said next was loud and clear.
"First, I’m Zachary Leinster’s legal fiancàƒÂ©e. Although I haven’t had a license yet, a lawyer has notarized it. Every share of our property now is our joint property as a couple. He is your boss, and I am your boss, understand?"
"Second, Mrs. Lester, am I right?"
"As far as I know, you’re in charge of one of the ten client groups within the client service part of the Lilliput Project, right?"
"As soon as you joined the company, you had access to Lilliput Project’s clients, so maybe you think you’re already important, but you probably don’t know that the entire Lilliput Project, in the first place, was handcrafted by me and this Mr. King in front of you!"
"Forty percent of Lilliput is all given to me by your boss’s father, the old chairman! Every job you’re doing now is, to put it bluntly, working for me, and without my
initial offer, you wouldn’t have the job you have now!"
"As for Zachary Leinster, he only has thirty percent power only, I have more power in the Lilliput Project than he does, so how dare you stand in front of me and scream?"
King was silent on the sidelines.
And Jessica was dumbfounded.
What... damn it! Lilliput Project, it was Yvonne’s project?
She was already unskilled and unaware of business, let alone knowing that Lilliput Project, a key project that was legendary in Hiltonan - from a project that was once disliked by everyone, eventually leaping to become a global textbook investment case, directly doubling the entire the Leinster Group’s value - was left behind by Yvonne’s single-mindedness!
But even then, Yvonne wasn’t relieved!
"Third, even if it’s true that the one standing in front of you today is a housewife who knows nothing and looks worse than you, I’m Zachary Leinster’s wife! You are still a mistress even if you are young and beautiful, a shameless mistress. How dare you blame one’s wife?"
Yvonne’s words completely beat her down!
Jessica stopped talking. She lowered her head, tears in her eyes.
Yvonne suddenly became grumpy, "Everyone knows my temper before I got married. You are the first one that who hooked up with my husband and still dared to shout in front of me, so hurry up and get lost before I smack you."
King thought Mrs. Leinster would be gentler after a year in a coma and having kids, but it seemed that he was wrong.
Jessica, "..."
She knew at this moment what it meant to be humiliated, what it meant to be dwarfed.
She covered her face and desperately wiped her eyes, then ran away in shame.
Jessica Lester, who did something big in the last life, ended her play quickly in this life.
...
Yvonne looked at her back as she escape and rolled her eyes hard.
"It’s okay to question my beauty, but you still dare to question my talent, young girls like her today was really shameless."
King thought in his heart, "Mrs. Leinster, you’re younger than her."
However, Yvonne’s was already no different from those women in the workplace.
Yvonne chased away these annoying interlopers, and only then did she have the time to visit Zachary in the hospital room.
Ward.
Zachary was still sleeping. The doctor said that he was just resting.
He would get nutrients injection and get well soon.
Yvonne looked at the man whose face was still pale on the hospital bed, held his hand and sighed.
"I’m sorry, yesterday, I shouldn’t have doubted you."
"In a previous life, you’ve already given your life once to save mine, and in this life, you’re still like this..."
"No matter what happens in the future, I won’t suspect you."
"If any other women come to hit on you again, I’ll scold them all away one by one like I did with Jessica Lester today!"
Someone hooks up with her husband, just kick her away. She won’t suspect her husband anymore.
In the evening, Zachary woke up.
He was very relieved to hear about what Yvonne had done today.
In the past, if he disappeared for a week and ignored her calls and texts, even received a strange message from a unknown woman... He was afraid that Yvonne had long been angry.
But this time, she didn’t even mention it, she just kept caring about him this and that after he woke up, and even fed him nutritious porridge herself. It was as if she didn’t take it to heart at all.
In the end, it was King who told Zachary that Jessica had deliberately come to cause trouble.
When Zachary heard this, he was very annoyed and felt that firing her was still not enough, he would like to make her pay, but he was stopped by Yvonne.
"Forget it, it’s just a nobody, it’s more important for you to get well now."
Yvonne said, while helping him blow on the porridge. It looked like she really didn’t care at all.
Zachary was deeply moved in his heart.
"Yvonne, actually, I have something very important to tell you."
"I know all about it." Yvonne said, "Mr. King told me all about what you had been through at Church of St. Marcus these days."
"Not this."
Zachary said, "Marcus Lance only told me that this would dissolve your bad luck, but didn’t say that it had some additional effects."
"The days I was unconscious... I saw with my subconscious what happened to you in the past year."
Yvonne froze.
A moment later, she said numbly, "You know all... of that?"
"Yes."
The man’s handsome black eyes looked at her steadily, "Not only did I know, I also interacted with... that person from that world."
Yvonne was shocked.
"Interaction? What do you mean?"
"I told him all about your rebirth and crossing over, and he now knows you’re not dead, but back in the original world."
"He also knows that we already have two children and now live happily together." lowered her eyes and didn’t say anything. Zachary looked at her and held her hand firmly.
"He asked me to tell you that he was relieved to know that you were still well, just in a different form by his side."
"He adopted an orphan in that world and became a legendary entrepreneur who will always be positive about life, but he won’t be marrying or having any more children either."
"He told you to stop worrying, even though it’s only been a year, and he’ll always live on with the good memories and the love of good, and he wants you to live your real life well too."
Yvonne stayed in silence. Finally, she couldn’t hold back the tears anymore. "Zachary, thank you..."
