Chapter 6
The next day, I went straight to Lucas. I introduced myself as Caleb’s wife, and told him I had optimized the project content and hoped he could listen to my suggestions.
Lucas was interested in this and agreed to return to the company to discuss it with
- me.
When we returned to the company, Caleb’s face looked grim upon seeing me with
Lucas.
“Gianna, why did you come with Mr. Watsons?”
Holding his arm, I smiled and said, “I came to see you before. You weren’t there that day, so I looked at the projects with our major partners and found some minor flaws in the project with Hudson Group. I thought of helping you improve it. You won’t blame me, right?”

My tone was coy, almost playful.
Caleb looked at Lucas, then at me. He was forcing a smile, “How could I blame you?
you were a bit impulsive this time. Mr. Watsons is very busy and doesn’t have much time to…”
But Caleb’s words were interrupted by Lucas.
“Mr. Jones, what you said is not right. I didn’t expect your wife to have such talent. Just by listening to her verbal explanation, I was already interested. Besides, I also think there are some shortcomings in this project. How about we go in and discuss?”
Since Lucas had said this, Caleb had no choice but to smile and welcome him into the conference room.
I silently followed behind, smiling at Caleb’s reluctant expression and his constantly vibrating phone.
I used Caleb’s computer in the conference room to describe the improved project to

Lucas.
I stood gracefully and confidently in front of the screen, pointing out all the key points of the project and proposing improvement methods.
Lucas, sitting below, looked at me with admiration and occasionally echoed my points.
But Caleb appeared restless, constantly looking at his phone but not daring to make a move because Lucas was present.
At this moment, I said to Caleb, “Honey, hand me your phone. I remember you had the final design. Let’s show it to Mr. Watsons.”
“Huh?”
Caleb was startled, breaking into a cold
sweat.
“The design isn’t on my phone, right? You… must have remembered wrong.”
“How could that be? I remember it clearly.

It’s on your phone. Quickly, give it to me.”
I reached out my hand to Caleb, but he still hesitated.
Lucas looked at Caleb suspiciously and said, “Mr. Jones, are you reluctant to show me the design?”
“No, no, no. Mr. Watsons, you misunderstood. I…I just…”
He stammered for a long time without saying a word. I approached him, grabbed his phone, and joked, “It’s just a design. What’s the harm in showing it to Mr. the Watsons? Honey, you’re getting stingy.
Looking at you, one would think you have secrets on your phone.”

I found the design on his phone and explained the optimizations to Lucas individually.
At this moment, a call suddenly came through.
It was just a string of numbers without any

notes.
Before Caleb could react, I answered the call and put it on speaker.
“Caleb! Why didn’t you answer my calls? Are you leaving me? You promised you’d divorce Gianna and be with me. You lied! I’m already pregnant with your child. Gianna can never give you children, but I can! I’m right downstairs at your company. I’ll come up and talk to you. Let’s settle this face–to–face, okay? Caleb…”
The girl’s words over the phone were like a bomb dropped into the room.
Caleb hurriedly grabbed the phone and quickly hung up. He was revealing guilt and helplessness.
Just then, there was a commotion outside. Caleb realized something was wrong and wanted to leave, but I stopped him.
“Aren’t you going to give me an explanation, Caleb?”

I looked at Caleb coldly as I spoke.
“Gianna, please wait a moment, okay? I will definitely give you a reasonable
explanation.”
After saying this, he tried to walk out. But there was no way I would let him leave.
In the end, with me blocking his way, Caleb couldn’t even touch the door while the commotion outside grew louder.
“Try touching me! Do you know who I am? How dare you lay a hand on me? I’m telling you, I’m pregnant with your boss‘ child! If anything happens, he won’t spare you!”
Olivia’s voice was strong and powerful, clearly audible even from this distance.
Soon, someone pushed open the door.
Olivia burst in with a face full of grievance. She ignored everyone inside and rushed straight into Caleb’s arms.
“Caleb!”

But Caleb pushed her away, still stubbornly saying, “You…you must have the wrong person…”
Before Caleb could explain, a few photos suddenly appeared on the big screen.
In the photos, a man and a woman were kissing passionately. The main characters in these photos were Caleb and Olivia.
At this moment, Lucas, who had been silent, suddenly stood up. He straightened his clothes and said, “Ms. Wilson, your presentation was excellent. Talents like you shouldn’t be wasted. If interested, you can join my company and continue our cooperation.”
Lucas handed me his business card and left without even glancing at Caleb.
At this time, the corridor outside the conference room was filled with onlookers. Caleb finally seemed to realize what was happening and looked at me, questioning, “You did all this, didn’t you? You knew

everything and deliberately planned all this!”
I crossed my arms, looking down coldly at Caleb, who was now slumped on the
ground. Olivia stood in front of him arrogantly and said to me, “What are you going to do to Caleb? I’m telling you, Caleb doesn’t love you anymore. If you know what’s good for you, you’d better leave now!”
“Huh!”
I laughed out loud at Olivia. “What position are you in to shout at me? A mistress? How ridiculous. Being a mistress so openly. Who gave you the nerve?”
“Hmph, don’t talk down to me like that. In love, the one who isn’t loved is the mistress! You’ve held onto Caleb for ten years. It’s time to let him go!”
I looked down at Caleb calmly and said, “Caleb, is that what you think too? Since you both believe I’ve been holding onto

you, today I’ll give you your freedom.”
With that, I took out the prepared divorce papers and handed them to Caleb, saying, “Sign it. Once you do, you’ll have your freedom.”
Caleb looked at me in shock, trembling as he took the divorce papers and said, “Gianna, you…you even prepared the divorce papers? So you really knew everything…”
“Since you guessed it, hurry up and sign it. Don’t waste everyone’s time. After all, aren’t you busy being with your true love?”
My tone was sarcastic, and I looked at Caleb with disdain.
He wanted to say something to me, but Olivia excitedly urged him to sign.
“Caleb, sign it quickly. I’m already pregnant with vo
your child. You can’t leave me.”
Caleb glanced at Olivia’s belly and chose to compromise.

But soon, he noticed something wrong with the divorce papers.
“Gianna, what do you mean by ‘leaving with nothing‘ in this divorce agreement?”
I shrugged and said, “It means exactly what it says. Can’t you understand? It means you can’t take a penny.”
“You…”
Caleb was a bit angry and wanted to retort, but I interrupted him with a light remark.
“Caleb, think carefully. If I send these photos to the leaders at Miles University, do you think you can protect her? So, you’d better sign quickly. I might still be kind enough to let her go. Otherwise, you two bear the consequences.”
Olivia panicked and said, “Caleb, they can’t find out! Or I’ll get expelled!”
In the end, Caleb signed the divorce
papers. I looked at his name on them but couldn’t feel any happiness.

“So it’s true love, huh? You gave up
everything for her. I hope you never regret this day.”
Olivia replied smugly, “He won’t. Caleb would do anything for me. He’ll never regret it.”
“Is that so? I used to think the same.”
My voice was low as I looked at Caleb and said, “I got injured helping you start your business and can no longer have children. You told me it didn’t matter. You’d love me forever, even if I couldn’t have kids. Caleb, you betrayed me and broke your vows. You are destined to die alone.”
After saying that, I ignored Olivia’s shouting and resolutely turned to leave.
