The Ex Husbands Revenge

When a wife cheats on their husband and gets pregnant with another man's child, one would expect the husband to kick her out of the home and ask for a divorce. Oddly enough, it was the complete opposite for 26-year-old Leon Wolf. As if being treated like a slave by his in-laws was not bad enough, he was thrown out on the street by his wife and her family after she proudly declared to him that she got pregnant with someone else's baby! Distraught and resentful, Leon found himself wandering all the way to the cemetery, where he chanced upon the attempted assassination of a beautiful woman. In his bid to save her, Leon received a fatal stab wound on his chest and dragged the thug with him into a nearby river to drown together… All signs pointed to Leon's death, for he never surfaced again even though the distressed woman had waited for hours. Believing he had passed on to the afterlife, she left, but not before calling out to the river, "My name is Iris Young. Come and see me sometime…" A wisp of consciousness manifested underwater… 'Iris… What a beautiful name…'

The Ex-Husband's Revenge - Chapter 27

In the office, Joseph Conrad, a plump, bald man about fifty years of age sat in front of the desk.

He faced a young girl who looked incredibly nervous.

The girl was about twenty–one or twenty–two years of age. She had delicate facial features and looked very

meek. She wore large, black–rimmed glasses that hid her beautiful looks.

She was quite petite and dressed plainly, but it did little to hide her natural beauty.

The girl was called Lily Cameron. She was one of the three secretaries of the president. her rank was the same as

Leon's. She was the secretary of daily affairs, while Leon

was the administrative secretary.

Other than that, the president's secretaries had two direct

superiors. The first was the president, while the second

was the head of the president's office.

"Miss Cameron, you've already been in the company for

over a month. You have been quite decent in terms of the quality of your work, but you still don't react quickly enough to anything that happens. I'm still very unhappy with your performance. How do you think we should address that?" Joseph narrowed his eyes as his eyes shone with ill intentions.

Lily was incredibly frightened. She hurriedly lowered her head, "Mister Conard, I'll work harder in the future. Please give me another chance."

"It's not like I can't give you another chance, but it depends on how Lily and grabbed Lily's white and delicate hands, running his hand up her arm.

"W–what are you doing?!" Lily was shocked as she pulled her hand back, pushing Joseph's claws away.

"Miss Cameron, there are certain rules when it comes to the workplace. I trust you get what I'm saying!" Joseph coldly snorted, expressing his displeasure.

"What rules?" Lily was shocked.

Seeing her confused reaction, Joseph could not be

bothered putting up pretenses. He touched Lily's chin

and smiled, "Let me be more straightforward. You're very pretty, and I like you!

"As long as you're willing to accompany me one time, I won't just give you a chance, I'll even make sure you immediately pass your probation!"

Lily's face paled, immediately understanding what happened.

"Mister Conrad, I'm sorry. I'm not someone like that. You're looking for the wrong person…" Lily looked like an incredibly scared bunny. She turned around and

immediately tried to run.

Joseph was incredibly calm as he said to Lily's retreating back, "You'd better think about it!

"The moment you dare to leave this office, you can say goodbye to your job. Pack up your things and leave

immediately!"

Lily immediately stopped. She was deeply affected by those words.

She just graduated from Springfield University, and only worked little over a month. She did not even pass her probation yet.

If Joseph wanted to fire her, it would be incredibly easy!

Joseph was experienced with these things, he would naturally not let such a good chance slip. He hurried over to Lily and reached out to her.

"Miss Cameron, I know that your mother is currently in the hospital. well! If you lose this job, you should know better than I do what will happen!"

Lily's mind immediately went blank at those words.

What Joseph said assaulted all her weak points.

Her father left the family and disappeared when she was

young. It was her mother who worked incredibly hard to

raise her and her brother. Thankfully, a lot of her

relatives helped them, which was how she managed to get into university.

Yet, her mother worked too hard and ended up in the

hospital. Her brother just managed to get into university as well, so her brother needed quite a lot of money for schooling fees and daily expenses.

All of the family's expenses fell on her shoulders.

At the same time, she carried the hopes and dreams of a lot of her relatives.

Thankfully, she found a good job right after she graduated. She became the president's secretary in the Elegante Group

Even if the director's secretary did not hold much power, it was still a position with a lucrative salary. Even while she was on probation, her salary was still over a thousand.

As long as she passed her probation, her salary would easily go much higher.

Furthermore, the president's secretary was able to

interact with the president regularly. As long as she – worked hard and earned the president's favor, she would

get promotions and higher salaries. Her future would be bright!

The job affected her future, her mother's medical bills, and her brother's studies!

If she lost her job, everything would be ruined!

The consequences were not something she could bear!
