Chapter 21
The night was full of pain and seemed especially long.
When everything calmed down, she was so beat she just passed out.
The next day
at the Bourne Group.
Elijah, as usual, arrived at the company around 10 in the morning.
When he walked into the office, Brandon came in too.
"I went to the bar last night to look for you, but you were nowhere to be found. Did you and Violette
leave early?"
Elijah frowned, "Did you come here just to talk about this?"
Brandon gave a bitter smile and placed a file on Elijah's desk.
"This is the financial report of the Dennis Group for the past few years. I had a look when I was free
and the problems are quite serious." He paused, "The CFO of the Dennis Group, stole at least 2 billion.
Heard he's Blake's wife's younger brother."
Elijah's eyes flickered slightly.
If what Brandon said was true, then the bankruptcy of the Dennis Group was not entirely due to the
development of new products.
"This tells us that we need to think twice when choosing a partner." Brandon sighed, "If Blake hadn't
betrayed Alexa, the Dennis family wouldn't be in this situation."
Elijah was indifferent, "This shows that women are stumbling blocks on the road to success."
Brandon, "So...you've decided to divorce Violette! When are you planning to do it? Do you need me to
throw you a back-to-single party?"
Elijah raised an eyebrow, his gaze was icy, "Don't you have work to do? Got a lot of free time?"
Brandon immediately stood up, cleared his throat lightly, "I'll be leaving now... But just a friendly
reminder, you might want to put some ointment on those scratch marks on your neck. If someone who
doesn't know sees it, they might think you got scratched by a cat. I bet you two had a wild night!"
Elijah swallowed, his voice was hoarse, "Get lost!"
Brandon left right away.
Less than fifteen minutes after Brandon left, Melinda knocked on Elijah's office door.
"Elijah, are you busy right now? I have something non-work related to discuss with you." Melinda came
in and closed the door.
Elijah glanced at the emails in his inbox, "I'm busy now, we can talk about non-work related matters
after work."
Melinda paused, walked firmly to his desk, "Let's talk now! This is more important than work."
She handed the file bag she brought to Elijah.
"Elijah, open it and see. The content inside will definitely shock you."
After saying this, she sat in the chair opposite him, her eyes landing on the scratch marks on his neck.
She didn't need to guess what it was.
A sour feeling welled up in her heart.
"Did you sleep with Violette last night?" Her voice trembled, "Elijah, Violette is not worth your love!"
"Shut up!" Elijah frowned, looking impatient, "You're not qualified to comment on my relationship with
Violette!"
As he spoke, he opened the file bag and pulled out the documents.
--Maternal Health Record
Name: Violette
Gender: Female
Pregnant: 12 weeks
When Elijah saw this, the veins on his forehead were about to pop.
The chill in his eyes was enough to invoke a fear of death.
He suppressed his anger, and continued reading--
Child's Father: Kaleb
He slammed the file heavily on the table.
Violette was pregnant, and the father of the child was Kaleb!
