In the Bentley, Joseph Alcock sped all the way out, far from Canal Plaza, until he stopped at the side of the road.Jane Wright placed her lily bouquet in the back of the car, unbuckled her seat belt to relieve the pressure and breathed deeply to calm her racing heart."There will be no more reporters here."
Joseph Alcock then got out of the car and fetched mineral water from the trunk. He handed one to Jane Wright.After all this work, her lips were dry and she looked thirsty and tired.Jane Wright took the water. She was really thirsty."Thank you for helping me out just now."
Jane Wright took a few sips of water, wiped the corners of her lips, and then asked, "Are we going to the Civil Affairs Bureau next?"
Joseph Alcock turned his head and looked into her dark eyes.He hissed. "How can you get a divorce?"
Jane Wright thought for a moment and explained, "The marriage license being exposed has absolutely nothing to do with me. Please don't get me wrong."
She seems to have a vested interest in being exposed as a married woman at an important moment like accepting an award.That is, if he thinks she's clinging to him and doesn't want a divorce.Joseph Alcock gave her a dirty look.How could he possibly think that she had leaked the information herself and then allowed herself to be mobbed at the podium?He doesn't have that kind of logic?'Now what?
Jane Wright looked helpless. "How long will it take to apply?"
"I can't get a divorce now. I don't know when."
He propped his forehead with one hand and closed his eyes in annoyance. "You have been elected the shining star of K-City, the ambassador of K-City.This incident has enhanced the image of RS Group.As CEO, being married to you is actually a good thing for the group.It's not surprising that it's all over the media.The stock of RS Group is bound to soar and bring huge gains."
"On the contrary, a divorce now would have a huge impact on RS Group's image and bring immeasurable damage."
Jane Wright got the message.She smiled, half sarcastically. "You mean you can make a lot of money from the news that we're married today?After all, the chief executive of a wealthy family disdains a strong marriage and marries the talented and benevolent Cinderella, the perfect fairy tale.It's the kind of story the media loves."
"Conversely, if we get divorced.The media will say that after the CEO of a wealthy family uses Cinderella to improve the image of the group, he quickly abandons it and still chooses to marry a powerful woman and play with the affections of ordinary girls.In this way, your perfect personality structure collapses, RS Group stock plummets and loses a lot of money?Is that right?"
Jane Wright calculates in her mind that RS Group is worth $100 billion. A drop of one percentage point is $1 billion.A businessman is a businessman. He always puts his interests first.Eg. Her words sound ugly, but they are true.Joseph Alcock's face crumpled and his voice cooled. "It is in the interests of the company that we cannot divorce at this time."
Jane Wright chuckled, and then the laughter grew louder and almost out of control.She put her hand to her lips and tried to restrain herself.It was a smile of resignation, surprise, wonderment, mixed with irony.She had never expected it.Eg. Things could turn out like this.Round and round.Still, can't get away with marriage."You're in a hurry?
Joseph Alcock raised his eyebrows and peered sideways at her.Every time he heard her urging him to divorce, he felt dissatisfied. "Did you find Gu Qingyan?In a hurry to clear the relationship with me?"
'I'm in a hurry?Shouldn't you be the one in a hurry?"
Jane Wright laughed, "What does it matter to you if I find Gu Xiaoyan?"
"Ann Yuchi is pregnant, you two love each other, I am in the middle of what?"
Jane Wright stared at Joseph Alcock in disbelief. "Aren't you in a hurry?Ann Yuchi will soon be too big to wear her wedding dress.Even if I can wait, can she?"
She's not wrong.He has decided that he is responsible for Ann Yuchi.He has also made up his mind to get a divorce.However, the current situation, he had not expected.Joseph Alcock wrenched open his water bottle, fretting.Too much of it spilled and stained his expensive suit."Damn it."
"He muttered.Jane Wright, seeing this, grabbed some napkins and helped him wipe them.His chest was stiff, his stomach was strong, and his legs were slender.She bent her head to wipe them carefully, oblivious to the way his eyes began to change color, and the swarthy flames lit up.Joseph Alcock could not see through her. He talked of divorce, but his weak boneless hands lit fires all over him, teasing him without her knowing it.I don't know if she was too high on the list, or just too numb to it."That's enough, that's enough."
He grunted, preventing her from continuing to light the fire, terrified that he would lose control in front of her.Over the years, he had managed to keep himself in check, but she kept pushing his boundaries.She kept him on the verge of going off the rails."Oh."
Jane Wright was annoyed. She just owed it.Perhaps the experience of growing up in an orphanage, eating hundreds of meals, relying on the support of the community.With the benefit of the people, Qiong Yao responded.Therefore, she habitually always take the initiative to help others.To ease the awkwardness.As if remembering something, she quickly took out the prize envelope that had just been presented to her.She opened the bright red envelope and took out the check."Wow, it's half a million!"
Jane Wright has stars in her eyes and a beautiful smile on her lips.Joseph Alcock looked at her in amusement.She was so happy for half a million dollars. She loved money.I gotta admit, she's got a pretty smile on her face right now.Primitive, innocent, pure, without any earthly pollution, it reminds people of flowers on a mountain and snow field, clear and proud."Here you go."
Unexpectedly, Jane Wright handed the check to Joseph Alcock.He looked at her unaccountably.'Give you your money back.You're 300,000 short."
Jane Wright narrowed her beautiful eyes and shoved the check into his arms. "Since we are not going to the Civil Affairs Bureau, we will go back to the group.I have a lot of work to finish after a week."
Joseph Alcock had forgotten about the $800,000.He thought she had agreed to attend the ceremony because she loved the money.Unexpectedly, she turned out to be, want to use their almost on the life in exchange for the bonus, used to return the money to him.He held her bonus check in his hand, suddenly feel heavy.He had never been short of money, and eight hundred thousand dollars seemed like nothing to him.At the moment.Don't know how to say it.Don't want her money, look awkward.Can accept her money, but he felt a pang of pity in his heart, so uncomfortable that he fidgeted.After all that had happened, she was still thinking about her job.Looking at her earnest expression, I was filled with strange and complicated emotions.I could not tell what they were.Impatiently, he dropped the check on the center console, hit the gas and drove to the group's headquarters.
