The Reborn Wife Of The Tyrant CEO
Chapter 43

Chapter 43: Chapter 43

After a while, I cooled down and saw Damon still looking at me quietly. I waved my hand signaling Cherry to leave first. When only Damon and I were left in the dining room, I calmly replied, "You’re overthinking it. If you can give me a 2% stake in Coleman Co, a company of that size, it would be more than enough for me to live a comfortable life" "Really?" Damon just asked back and then continued eating without looking at me. I stopped talking and started eating, afraid that any ship of the tongue would give me away. After finishing my meal, I went to the music room to play the cello alone. I didn’t know how much progress Damon had made with Ariel these days. Now that the chemical project was about to start, Ariel would probably need him soon, right? Because my mind was elsewhere, I played several wrong notes in a row. In the end, I had to stop and wait for my emotions to calm down. Luckily, Damon went to the office after eating. When I went downstairs again, there was no trace of him at home. I let out a sigh of relief, sat comfortably on the soft sofa, closed my eyes and rested. My mind was filled with various fragmented images, many of which were comparisons between my past life and this life. Unconsciously, I fell asleep on the sofa. By the time Cherry woke me up for dinner, it was already getting dark outside. I felt a bit dizzy and had no appetite, so after eating a few bites, I decided to go upstairs and rest. But then Joshua’s call woke me up. "Eliana, are you free now? Let’s meet up!" Joshua’s voice sounded different from usual, as if he was suppressing his anger. I answered, "Yes. Where are you?" lm at the north gate of Starlight Estates." Joshua’s reply took me by surprise.

I quickly changed my shoes and drove to the north gate of Starlight Estates. Sure enough, Joshua was looking around by the roadside. He didn’t recognize me because I had changed my car. I stopped in front of him and rolled down the window, "Joshua, get in. Let’s talk about it later."

Joshua looked a bit surprised. He looked at my car, but there was no envy in his eyes, instead, he seemed a bit uncomfortable. He nodded and got in the car. I asked, "What happened?" Joshua took out his phone and quickly said, "Eliana, I’ve paid back the two thousand dollars Ariel owes you. Thank you." I asked, surprised, "How did you know?" "She told me everything. She had been working part-time at the Atlantic Hotel to pay you back, but then she lost her job," Joshua said, looking down. "Was she fired?" I asked on purpose. "No.." Joshua grabbed his hair in frustration, his voice full of anger, "Eliana, it’s that guy I mentioned to you before. Ariel promised me she would break up with him, but they’re still in touch. That guy must be rich and powerful. Ariel says she can’t avoid him, but she won’t tell me who he is!" I felt a sinking feeling in my heart, "How did you find out?" "I accidentally saw their messages. I was too angry at the time, I forgot to look at his phone number, otherwise, I would definitely find out who he is!" Joshua replied. This stupid kid. Even if he found out who the guy was, what could he do? Joshua was no match for Damon. It seemed that Joshua and Ariel had had another fight. He impulsively came to pay back the money for her, probably fearing that Ariel might compromise with Damon for the money. "You have to trust Ariel. She’s not that kind of girl. Since you said that the guy is rich and powerful, he will definitely approach her aggressively. What you need to pay attention to now is not to fight with Ariel, but to trust her and understand her. Otherwise, you might push her towards another man! Do you understand?" I advised him seriously. Joshua didn’t say anything. He probably wasn’t in the mood to hear my comforting words. When people are angry, they can’t think straight. I drove to a bar, planning to keep Joshua company and drown his sorrows in alcohol. Joshua silently drank one drink after another. I didn’t say much, just controlled my own drinking.

Suddenly, I saw a familiar face. He was holding a young woman’s hand, and there were two or three other men with them. They happily found a spot not far away and sat down. I frowned, then took out my phone and recorded a video. A minute later, I posted in a group chat, "Sofia, out for a drink with your Ian." Five or six minutes later, Sofia replied, "I was just doing a facial mask. Ian is working overtime. I can come out for a drink though. Are Luna and Clara going?" Luna immediately sent a video of a lively scene and said, "I was already out. Two cute guys came to Cielo Nocturno, so I came to check it out!" Clara sent a photo of her office desk piled high with documents. She said, "If this wasn’t my own company, I would have quit!" I didn’t have the patience to read their idle chatter, so I urged Sofia, "Then you come alone" Then I sent her my location. Sofia sent a yawning emoji, "I’d better not. If I go out drinking tonight, my facial mask will be a waste. I have to keep my skin smooth before getting married, haha... I was somewhat annoyed. How could this happen? During my past life, Sofia and Ian happily got married, and there was no such outrageous incident. If I didn’t know Joshua, I wouldn’t have come to this bar with him and wouldn’t have bumped into Ian cheating Sofia and Ian had always been one of the happier couples in my mind. Although I thought their family backgrounds didn’t match, and there might be conflicts in the future, they were still living happily until the time I died during my past life. I was hesitating. Should I send the video to Sofia? Just as I was hesitating, Ace and the woman were becoming more and more intimate. The woman was leaning on his shoulder, and they looked like a loving couple. I would occasionally whip out my phone and snap some pictures. Even if I don’t use these as evidence to show Sofia now, I can keep them and tell her later. mending to call a water over to help Joshua, but then saw another hand granting he am When I saw Jones was a bit confused Why did I always run into him when I was with Joshua? It was like how Ariel would always call, "Uh, he drank a little too much." said awkwardly Let’s talk in the car? Jones answered nonchalantly
