Chapter 99
Bary was walking from the conference room on the 25th floor of the Sega Group. Seeing that,
Linden immediately walked to Bary and asked tentatively. “Mr. Covington?”
Bary nced at Linden, indicating him to continue.
Linden was stunned when his gaze was fixed on the red mark on the left side of Bary’s neck. He
murmured inside, I think I just discovered something shocking. Wait. Why didn’t I notice that scratch
this morning?”
Bary asked, “Linden?”
Hearing Bary’s deep voice, Linden pulled himself back from his thoughts and apologized, “Mr.
Covington, I’m sorry for being distracted.”

Bary nced at Linden and asked, “Do you have anything to report?”
Linden replied, “Mrs. Bernice Covington went to your vi to talk to Moira,”
Bary’s expression darkened when he heard Linden’s words. He nced at Linden and said, “I’ve
got it.” With that, he went straight to the elevator.

Assuming Bary was heading to the CEO’s office, Linden subconsciously pressed the button for
the 28th floor.
Before Linden could pull his hand back, Bary canceled themand and pressed the button for
the underground second floor.
Linden was confused and asked, “Mr. Covington, are you not returning to your office?” He thought,
“Project manager Freddie Hunt is still waiting for Bary in the CEO’s office.‘
Unexpectedly, Bary briefly replied, “No.” His answer showed there was no room for negotiation.
Linden refrained from pressing further after receiving Bary’s response. He murmured inside,
‘Well, I guess today isn’t Freddie’s lucky day.”
Bary opted to drive himself. He headed to the parking lot and got behind the wheel to the vi.
Thoughts of Bernice weighed heavily on his mind during the journey and stirred impatience within
him.
More cars were on the road today since it was Saturday, but fortunately, it was not as bad as a
traffic jam,
After Bernice left, Moira spent some time in the piano room. However, her mood for practicing
quickly waned after a few minutes. She took out her phone and sent a message to Juliet. I just lost
20 million dors!]
Juliet sent a photo with the text “Tell me more.”
Moira: [Bary’s stepmother showed two 10–million–dor checks before me and asked me to
divorce Bary within three months.
Juliet: [Damn! Mr. Covington’s stepmother seems generous!!
Moira: I know, right?) She sent a meme of a cute rabbit sighing to express her feelings.
Juliet: [Look at the bright side! Your husband’s worth is billions of dors! 20 million dors is
nothing for him!]
Moira: [That’s his money, not mind.]
Juliet: [Sweetheart, I’ve noticed you’ve be more rational and wise since you left that scumbag,
Alliel]
Moira: (People learn from their failures!]

Moira was not ashamed of her rtionship with Allie. She viewed it as a pity of life instead.
Therefore, she did not mind Juliet mentioning it.
Juliet: [Why don’t you ask Mr. Covington topensate for your loss of 20 million dors?)
Moira Girl, are you crazy? Wake up from your dreams!]
Juliet: [You miss 100% of the shots you don’t takel]
Someone knocked on the door when Moira was going to reply to Juliet’s message. It startled her,
causing her to drop her phone onto the piano and hit a
note

Bary asked, “May Ie in?“.
Moira hurriedly nodded and replied, “Sure!” Then, she picked up her phone and gently touched her
no as if she were apologizing to it.
Bary asked, “I heard you had a guest today?”
Moira leaned her head to look at Bary and briefly told him everything that happened an hour
ago.
She realized Bary remained silent after she finished talking. Thus, she carefully asked, “Do you
think my reaction was too impolite?”
Bary raised his eyebrows while unbuttoning the top button of his shirt and replied, don’t think
so.”
Moira could not help but stare at Bary’s Adam’s Apple. She sensed something off when her eyes
lingered on Bary’s neck for seconds. She wondered, “Why is the scratch exposing in the air?‘
