Gael never expected to run into Yanni in the ballroom of the Regent Hotel during the weekend. When he saw her, she was holding a glass of red wine and exchanging pleasantries with some old men. Yanni was the center of attention at the banquet due to her family background and her own abilities. People approached her constantly, hoping to make connections. However, Yanni politely declined them one by one.Of course, Yanni looked stunning tonight. She was dressed in a white silk gown, which perfectly hugged her graceful curves. A pair of four-carat diamond earrings adorned her earlobes, making her jade-like face all the more radiant and elegant.Gael was momentarily lost in thought. He even murmured her name, "Yanni."Emilia stood nearby, and she was extremely displeased. Gael was obviously trying to stir up trouble. However, she wasn’t too bothered. After all, he and Yanni were divorced. Even if he wanted to reconcile, Yanni would never agree!Emilia deliberately clung to Gael's ar

Gael’s voice trembled, “Wedding gift? Who is he to you, Yanni?”Yanni sneered, “Does it have anything to do with you? Also, please refer to me as Dr. Yanni or Ms. Yanni from now on, Mr. Gael.”What she said hit Gael hard. “So, I can never call you by your first name again. Is that right?”Yanni’s response was firm. “Yes!”At the next moment, Gael’s eyes reddened. He lost all interest in the banquet and was completely shaken. However, Gael couldn’t understand why his emotions were so chaotic and miserable. After all, he and Yanni had come to an end. They were over.With that said, seeing Yanni with Keaton made him feel as though he’d been utterly betrayed. The humiliation was unbearable, and the pain was excruciating.Yanni paid no attention to Gael’s pain. She danced with Keaton, and the two of them matched perfectly. Seeing them together drove Gael mad with jealousy, but he held back his rage. After all, Ressington Tech Co.’s stock had just stabilized, and he couldn’t afford

Gael held meetings late into the night. As he walked out of the company, his legs felt weak. It wasn't just from exhaustion, but also from fear. Gael had no idea how many shares of Ressington Tech Co. the person behind this would dump tomorrow, or what impact it would have on the company. However, he couldn’t just sit back and wait for disaster. No matter how many shares were sold, Gael needed to buy them back himself. The stock couldn’t hit the limit down again. If it did, he would not only lose face, but investors would also lose faith in him.Gael got into his car and smoked half a pack of cigarettes before finally driving away. When he got home, he collapsed into bed. He was too exhausted to even check Emilia's caring messages.The next morning, Gael woke up feeling guilty and decided to call Emilia personally. He rubbed his temples and spoke in a low voice, “I’m sorry! I’ve been really busy lately, and I might not have much time to spend with you and Ansley. "I’ll transfer

After the dinner, Gael didn’t secure any investments. The shareholders behind the scenes were relentless. Every day, a large amount of Ressington Tech Co. stocks were being dumped, and Gael could only absorb them himself. Over time, both the company and his personal finances were becoming unsustainable. What was worse, this was just the beginning.In this way, Gael felt like he was being ground down. He had social obligations every night, discussing investments and scrambling for loans. Eventually, Gael borrowed a portion of the funds at an interest rate of 2% points higher than usual. It cost him the collateral of Ressington Tech Co.’s building just to get the bank manager to relent.By the end of the week, Gael had lost weight and energy significantly. He was completely drunk one late night. He leaned against the wall in the restroom of a business club after throwing up. Then, he lit a cigarette to ease his nerves.Outside the door, footsteps echoed. Moments later, a figure pu

The glaring white light illuminated Gael’s face, making him appear even paler and more humiliated. He had been standing there all along, knowing he should leave.However, Yanni was his wife. How could she kiss another man? How could she use that melodious voice to call out another man's name like that? She belonged to Gael alone.At that moment, all hope drained from Gael. He wanted to rush forward and fight Keaton, but clarity hit him in the end.That was right. He and Yanni were already divorced. Whoever she was with now was her own choice.Gael slowly backed out. The door quietly closed, and the couple was locked in a passionate kiss. They weren't aware of Gael's presence, or so it seemed. Keaton had noticed, but he didn’t let go of Yanni. Instead, he deepened the kiss, which is why Yanni couldn’t help but softly moan his name.After Gael left, Keaton continued kissing her for a long time. He was still reluctant to release Yanni. His slender fingertips gently caressed her wai
