Chapter 294 Who This Fiend Is (1/2)

”Oh, mom, back then, it was a piece of unconfirmed news. But now, I can assure you that I have found the partner.” Shirley stared at Joy with a complacent look and continued,”Since someone has agreed to support me in the form of partnership, you will favor me as CEO of the company. Am I right?”

”Of course, I will. The old shareholders will surely agree to elect you as CEO of our company too, since you have put your cards on the table and gained support from such a powerful figure. Shirley, I disagreed with your proposal for acting as CEO before because it was really infeasible at that time. It really is not like showingpartiality towards Winner. After all, Winner is the sole male heir of the Wen Family. In addition to that, he is the only legitimate heir of our family.”

Embarrassment was evident on Joy's face, but she tried her best to explain it.

”Mom, I know and I can understand.” Knowing that her mother would support her now, Shirley felt happiness wash over her. Together, they started to walk ahead.

Back in Jean's ward, Jean and Moore were having a conversation. ”At times, we really can't force ourselves to do something against our wills,” said Jean while she smirked at Moore.

Deep down, she suspected that this marriage would bring her nothing but humiliation. She wanted to get out of it as soon as possible.

”Jean, I don't think there is any point in saying anything more.” Moore sighed and continued,”But you need to know I will always be there to support you, no matter what decision you take.”

Hearing this, Jean smiled feeling thankful and spoke. ”I know, Moore, and I am very thankful to you.” Life was hard for Jean but knowing such a friend existing gave her a relief.

She knew Moore was the type of guy to support her through thick and thin. This knowledge eased off her worries.

In front of him, she could talk about everything without feeling restricted. He would never judge her, which was the best part of their relationship.

Moore spoke first to break the awkward silence brought by this sentimental talk.

”It is almost time for supper. Let's go!” Jean looked up and smiled.

Seeing her smile, Moore swore inside his head that he would always help her fight the obstacles in her life.

As a friend, he wanted to protect her from the toxic people.

”Okay. These days, I'm always hungry, so I can never say no to food.” While rubbing her belly, she flashed him an embarrassing smile.

Unconsciously, her hand touched the envelope which had been hidden inside her pocket. Suddenly, her mood changed and her face scrunched into a completely different expression. Then, she glanced at Moore and said,”Can you wait for a moment? I am going to the bathroo

When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.
