My Husband Is A Secret Billionaire By Wiuu

Chapter 33

Chapter 33 Jane took Carl into the conference room. Those gathered at the door of Ava’s office, each with a grin stretching from ear r to ear. “Wasn’t Ms. Zeller just hoping that Mr. Sherwood would claim Jane’s ring to be just green glass? Who knew Jane actually wore a genuine emerald? In the end, she even walked away with the client!” someone whispered with a smirk. “Isn’t this a classic case of throwing the helve after the hatchet?” “Humph, this is called going for wool and coming home shorn!” ‘Haha…” Ava was rooted to the spot, her mind a total blank, her body trembling with rage. She stormed over and slammed the door with a resounding crash. The crowd outside sca t tered, but their laughter still echoed throughout the office. They had long been fed up with Ava’s high and mighty attitude but, alas, her uncle was a big shareholder, so they just swallowed their pride. Seeing her down in the dumps today, they were all secretly thrilled. Jane escorted Carl to the company entrance. After bidding him farewell with a smile, she gently touched the ring on her finger. Was this truly an emerald? Jane giggled, and when she did, her dimples appeared on her cheeks, as if capturing all the sweetness in the world.

Upon reflection, after marrying Dan, her luck seemed to have improved dramatically. One contract after another was signed, and whenever she was in a tight spot, Dan would swoop in to save the day… She once heard a prophet say that she was a good luck charm for her husband. Hmm, it seems like it was actually Dan who was the lucky charm!! She let out a long sigh of relief. It was almost time to clock off, and she planned to head home and make a pizza for her hubby tonight.

But as Jane turned around, she locked eyes with Ava’s fiery gaze. “Ms. Zeller.” Jane greeted her without any hint of subservience, about to head upstairs, when Ava’s sneering retort rang out behind her. “Oh, what an emerald! I wonder where your husband pilfered it from?” Jane spun around and fixed her with a stare. “What did you just say?” “I said, someone who has done time in the can, what kind of shenanigans hasn’t your husband gotten up to?” Ava went on, “Jane, you have some nerve! I reckon you and your husband, one a thief, the other a homewrecker, you guys are two peas in a pod!” Jane clamped her mouth shut, her face paling. Chapter Ava gave a cold laugh, deliberately looking up. The surveillance camera’s red light was on, recording every single moment. In fact, she was a smart person. Every time she provoked Jane, she made sure it was under the surveillance camera. That way, no matter how outrageous her words were, Jane wouldn’t lay a finger on her, assuming she had any sense left. Once she took action, Jane would be fired by this company! “Hey, Jane,” Ava said, glancing at her own ring. ‘There’s no shame in being penniless, but stealing, that’s really below the belt! You’re a decent girl. Why on earth would you marry a guy like that? “Oh, I get it, the men who’ve done time… they have quite the raging libido, huh? Wow, your husband must be super impressive, able to keep you satisfied, right?” Jane sucked in a deep breath. This time, she wasn’t going to take it lying down. She glanced at Ava and then quietly asked, “Ava, can we have a heart-to-heart?” Ava saw her meek and docile look, and the fire inside her cooled a bit. Was she capitulating? It seemed that Jane had some self-awareness. “Ava,” Jane continued in a soft voice, “this deal with Mr. Sherwood, it’s all yours, I won’t vie with you for it. Once the deal’s done, I’ll hand over all the commission to you, and count it under your name. HowThis is from NôvelDrama.Org.

does that sound?” Ava huffed, “You’re not as dumb as you look.” “Can we change our location to talk some more? There are too many people here, and there’s some stuff I’d rather not say in public.” Ava agreed and followed Jane, circumventing the company building to arrive at a secluded, open area at the back. Jane looked around. There was a small grove nearby, hidden and deserted. No one was around, and more importantly, there were no surveillance cameras. She had previously scouted this “perfect spot” for their conversation. “Spit it out!” Ava still had her uppity demeanor, “I need to get off work early!” Jane kept her head down, staying mum. Ava felt a strange tension in the air. Just as she was about to demand Jane get on with it, a slap to the face caught her off guard! The stinging sensation was Immediate. Ava was taken aback, still in shock, when Jane slapped her again with all her might! Staggering, Ava fell flat on her butt. “W hat… what the hell are you doing?” Holding her throbbing cheeks, she stared at Jane in terror. Jane glared at her, no longer the pushover she once was. It was as if she’d donned an armor. She roughly grabbed Ava by the collar, yanked her up, and prepared to slap her for the third time. Ava let out a sharp scream, instinctively closing her eyes and protecting her head with her arms. Jane’s hand halted mid-air. “The first slap was for your insult towards me! “The second slap was for your slander against my husband! “And this third one…” “Jane, if you dare hit me again, I swear…” Before Ava could finish her threat, Jane had already landed the third slap. “The third one is a warning!” Jane bit out each word, “If you ever dare slander my husband again, you’ll end up worse off than now! Don’t think I won’t fight back! This time, I spared you the public humiliation,

but if you keep running your mouth off, I’ll make sure everyone sees how your face swells up! “Worst case scenario is to be fired by the company, and you can go blabbering around, saying that Jane hit you. Ha, if I’ve done it, I’ll face the music. But if you push me too hard, you’ll have to pay the piper!” 000
