Chapter 112


    I could see Jan was reaching his breaking point, and a tiny part of me reveled in it. I kept up the


    pressure, "I''ve been trying to create a positive corporate image for Medsafe Liyah Inc., tirelessly


    you are, seemingly hell-bent on sabotaging it all.


    Are you tired of ourfortable lifestyle? Do you think that running a sessfulpany is a piece of


    cake? Where have you been investing all your time and energy? If you''re not interested in managing


    ourpany, just say the word and I''ll take over. I''d rather that than listen to your constantints


    about being busy, tired, or how difficult it is. If you''re not up for the job, then do something you like!"


    Jan looked flustered, trying to regain hisposure, "Honey, please calm down. You get me wrong."


    "Seriously?" I threw my head back andughed, tears streaming down my face. "Oh, how I''ve wronged


    you! You''ve had the audacity to offend the Business Bureau''s Director in Goldenvale Town, is there


    anything you won''t dare to do? I''ve indeed wronged you!" I pointed at Jan, took a deep breath and


    continued, "Do you realize that the invitation was just a foot in the door, not an automatic win? Without


    Geneva working her magic behind the scenes, do you honestly believe that your good looks alone


    could secure international orders? You''re a short-sighted man."


    I never imagined I''d resort to hurling such harsh words at Jan.


    The harshest ones I swallowed, biting my tongue. I wanted to say, "You''re only good for flirting with


    women, only thinking with your lower half. An animal."


    But that one sentence was enough to hurt Jan. It was the worst thing I could say, a direct attack on


    his pride.


    Jan sat stiffly, his face a mask of terror. I expected an outburst, but I''d overestimated him. Instead,


    he wore a face full of guilt and mumbled an apology.


    See? That''s the face of a small-town man. You push, he retreats. I couldn''t fathom why I''d ever fallen


    for such a man.


    "Me wronged you? Who called you to the hotel? Do you take me for a fool?" I yelled, unable to control


    my feelings anymore. "Jan, I really overestimated you. You''ve been yed by a nanny, and you


    don''t trust your own wife. I''m done with you!"


    Jan was speechless, his face ashen. On the other side, Zora, who had been doing her best to fade


    into the background, was giving me a hostile look. Without warning, I called her out, which scared her


    to death.


    "Zora, I treated you like a sister when you came to this house. I paid you well and treated you with


    respect. We shared meals, and you nevercked for clothes or gifts. Tell me, where did I wrong you


    that you feel the need to sow discord, to attack my marriage? Do you think I''m so ill, so deluded?"


    I red at her, each word hitting its mark. Her expression changed immediately.


    "And what did you do? Tell me, you coveted my husband and repaid my kindness with betrayal!"


    Zora immediately protested, "Madam, I didn''t..."


    "You dare to deny it? Then tell me, what didn''t you do? Didn''t sow discord? Didn''t ruin our rtionship?


    So how did you know I was at that hotel? How did Jan end up there? Why did you take him there?


    Tell me, why were you following me?"


    My barrage of questions left her no chance to interrupt.


    She wants to deny it? I''d make sure she ran out of lies.


    She looked guilty, nervous or indifferent, I couldn''t tell. She kept darting nces at Jan, but I knew


    him too well. He was in no position to defend her now.


    "Fine, since you''ve decided to betray me, I won''t let this slide. Pack your things and leave my house


    immediately! We no longer require your services." I said decisively to Zora, "I will not tolerate anyone


    disrupting my family''s harmony."


    To my surprise, Zora''s demeanor changedpletely at my words.
