Chapter 52
The text below the title was short.
She''d been racking her brain on how to execute her n.
The only thing she wrote was: I must divorce Elijah before the end of the year.
His face darkened like a thunderstorm.
He had made changes andpromises, yet all she was thinking about was leaving him.
The ''n'' document was createdst night.
What a hypocritical woman!
On one hand, she was ying nice, giving him gifts and thanking him, while she was cooking up a
divorce n in her room!
He thought she was different from other women, but it turned out her biggest difference was - she''s a
two-faced backstabber!
He mmed her notebook shut and stormed out of the room.
A top-level meeting was underway at the Bourne Group.
Elijah was obviously not in a good mood today.
From the moment he walked into the conference room, he was frowning with a cold expression.
The signals his face was sending made people shudder.
Department managers were sitting stiffly, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
That’s weird.
Thepany had overachieved its Q3 targets and the performance was encouraging, why was the
boss so angry?
Throughout the meeting, Elijah didn''t say a word, just listened coldly to the managers'' reports.
At the end of the meeting, he only said one word: "Dismissed."
Elijah was the first to leave the conference room.
Joey was about to follow him out when a manager stopped him.
"Joey, what''s with the boss? Is he unhappy with our Q3 performance? If he''s not satisfied, he can give

us requirements...we will definitely strive to meet them!"
"Yeah! He didn''t say a word today, which is really unusual. Does he have any new ideas or ns?"
Everyone surrounded Joey, hoping to get the scoop from him.
Joey pushed up his sses and guessed, "Everyone did well in Q3. The boss should be quite satisfied.
His bad mood might be due to personal matters, not work. You guys go back to your work!"
After that, Joey quickly headed to the CEO''s office.
Upon opening the office door, Joey didn''t expect to see a visitor.
"Mr. Marcia, long time no see."
"Joey, I need to borrow your boss for a bit." Derek Marcia smiled politely.
Joey got the hint and immediately left, closing the office door behind him.
The office went quiet again.
Derek''s smile disappeared: "I''m here because my parents asked me to bring Melinda Marcia home. But
Melinda refuses to go back with me. Elijah, you''re the only one who can convince her."
Elijah grabbed his phone and dialed Melinda''s number right in front of Derek.
The call was picked up instantly: "Elijah, you called?" Melinda sounded excited on the other end.
Elijah: "Resign and go home with your brother."
Derek was taken aback by his directness, and furrowed his brows.
After a moment of hesitation, Melinda said excitedly, "Did my brother go to see you? Don''t listen to him!
I won''t go back with him!"
She then hung up the phone.
Elijah put down his phone, looked at Derek with a cold stare, "I''ve tried to persuade her countless times
over the years. Today is thest. Don''t bother me with the Marcia family''s issues anymore!"
Seeing Elijah''s bad mood, Derek quickly got up: "I''ll leave then!" As he left the office, he ran into Joey
and asked, "Did something happen to yourpany? Your boss was quite fierce today."
Joey: "Thepany is fine. It''s probably that my boss is having some love problems."
Derek raised his eyebrows: "Who''s he dating? Howe I didn''t hear about it?"
"It’s his wife."
Derek: "Violette?"
"Mr. Marcia, you''re always in the know."
"Melinda told me about her. Every time I chat with her, she talks about Elijah, my ears are almost
calloused." Derek smiled knowingly, "I didn''t expect Elijah to fall for a girl who hasn''t even graduated
from college yet."
