Chapter 478 Are You Daydreaming
The more Garry thought about it, the more disheartened he became.
Seeing Garry's disappointed expression, the butler also guessed that something must have been found in the coffee.
"Mr. Bridges... about this matter..."
Garry took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Pretend you don't know anything about this, and don't tell anyone."
"Okay."
On the other side, Ayla still thought that no one knew about her drugging Garry. After returning home and pouring out the coffee, she directly smashed the set of cups and pot and threw them into the trash can.
After handling this matter, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat back on the sofa, and began to think about her situation with Leo.
She had already decided not to divorce Leo before, and now that she knew he was the owner of Vertex Innovations Group, it was even more impossible to agree to a divorce.
As long as she was Leo's wife, half of Vertex Innovations Group belonged to her.
But once they divorced, she would have nothing.
She had been married to Leo for five years and had given him a child. He wanted to dismiss her with just tens of millions of dollars and take Jerold away. There was no way that was going to happen!
Early the next morning, Ayla went directly to Vertex Innovations Group to find Leo.
As soon as she walked into the lobby, she was stopped by the receptionist.
"Hello, Miss. Who are you here to see? Do you have an appointment?"
Ayla's expression was arrogant as she said coldly, "I'm here to see Leo Wendy."
The receptionist was stunned for a moment, checked, and found that there was no one named Leo in the company. "Miss, we don't have an employee named Leo. Are you sure you're in the right place?"
"You don't even know your own boss's name? How are you working as a receptionist?"
The receptionist frowned, "Our boss's last name isn't Wendy... you must be mistaken."
"Then call your current boss down here and tell him that Leo Wendy's wife is here."
The receptionist remained silent.
Seeing that the receptionist didn't move, Ayla's face turned cold, "Call him, and I'll speak to him."
The receptionist hesitated for a moment, then looked at the security guard next to her and said, "There's someone causing trouble here. Please escort her out."
Ayla's eyes flashed with disbelief, "You dare to call security on me? Do you know that I am your boss's wife?"
The receptionist looked at her with exasperation, "Our boss is Elisha McClellan. Elisha McClellan is nearly seventy years old, and his granddaughter is about your age. And as I said, there is no one named Leo here. If you don't leave, I'll call the police."
With that, the receptionist directly had the security guard throw Ayla out.
Ayla was furious, her face turning pale. She took out her phone to have her assistant check Elisha's office number when a black Rolls-Royce suddenly stopped behind her.
A man in a suit got out of the passenger seat, walked to the back, and opened the door. A portly man in his seventies got out of the back seat.
Seeing Ayla standing at the entrance, Elisha frowned, "What's going on?"
One of the security guards spoke up, "Mr. McClellan, this woman is causing trouble and says she wants to see you."
Elisha's gaze shifted back to Ayla, recognizing her as Leo's wife, and said in a deep voice, "Ms. Bridges, Vertex Innovations Group hasn't wronged you in any way."
Ayla stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Mr. McClellan, I don't want to waste words with you. I know Leo is the real owner of Vertex Innovations Group. I want to see him. If I can't see him, I'll make this public.
"Also, your Starlight Corporation deliberately defrauded the Bridges Group of tens of millions of dollars and then filed for bankruptcy. If I can't find Mr. Simmons, I can also sue Vertex Innovations Group."
Elisha was silent for a moment, then took out his phone and called Leo, "Mr. Wendy, Ms. Bridges is downstairs at Vertex Innovations Group. She wants to see you."
Soon, Elisha hung up the phone and looked at Ayla, "Mr. Wendy is at Villa No.1, Forest Hills Estates."
Ayla's lips curled up, "Thank you, Mr. McClellan."
With that, she got into her car and left.
When Ayla's car stopped at Villa No.1, Forest Hills Estates, she looked at the luxuriously decorated villa with a complex expression.
A few years ago, when Forest Hills Estates went on sale, many people wanted to buy Villa No.1, with some even offering up to a billion dollars, but the owner refused to sell.
At that time, there were rumors that the owner of the villa was the boss of Vertex Innovations Group, but no one knew who he was.
Elisha was the general manager of Vertex Innovations Group, and every time he attended a banquet, many people wanted to ask him who the real owner of Vertex Innovations Group was, but Elisha kept his mouth shut and didn't reveal a single word.
Ayla never thought that the owner of the villa would be Leo.
She took a deep breath and got out of the car.
Since they knew she was coming, the security guard let her in directly.
Walking into the villa's living room and seeing the luxurious decoration inside, her feelings became even more complicated.
Leo was so wealthy, yet he pretended to be poor in front of her to make the Bridges family lower their guard, then planted his people in the Bridges Group to slowly dismantle it.
She had worked hard for so many years to finally get the position of general manager of the Bridges Group, only to lose it because of his schemes.
Thinking of this, Ayla felt a surge of resentment and hatred.
Leo sat on the sofa, looking at Ayla with an indifferent expression, "Have you made up your mind?"
Ayla sneered and sat down opposite him, "Leo, I wasn't planning to divorce you even before I knew you were the owner of Vertex Innovations Group. Do you think I would agree to a divorce now?"
"Vertex Innovations Group is my premarital property. If you think you can get your hands on it, you're dreaming."
"Vertex Innovations Group was indeed founded before our marriage, but we must have made quite a bit after we got married, right? If I apply to the court to investigate your post-marital finances, do you think they won't find anything?"
Leo squinted his eyes, his gaze turning cold, "What do you want?"
"I don't agree to the divorce. You move back in, and I want to work at Vertex Innovations Group."
Leo chuckled, "Ayla, are you still daydreaming? Do you think I would let you work at Vertex Innovations Group?"
"My grandfather already knows about you using Starlight Corporation to defraud the Bridges Group of tens of millions of dollars. He will definitely come after you. Once Vertex Innovations Group is sued, you will only lose more than you gain."
"Ayla, you need evidence to back up your words. The contract was signed between you and Starlight Corporation. Now that Mr. Simmons of Starlight Corporation has gone abroad, what evidence do you have to prove that I was behind Mr. Simmons? If the Bridges Group wants to sue, they should sue Starlight Corporation."
Ayla gritted her teeth, "Starlight Corporation is a subsidiary of Vertex Innovations Group. Now that Starlight Corporation is in trouble, Vertex Innovations Group should be responsible!"
"You probably don't know that at the beginning of this year, Starlight Corporation became an independent company and has no relation to Vertex Innovations Group. It just hasn't been made public yet."
"What did you say!" Ayla's eyes widened in anger.
