Chapter 394: Chapter 396 We Are Getting a Divorce

Anna didn’t think it was a big deal because she was the one who proposed to adopt Isabella in the first place. As a result, she felt she couldn’t let Isabella stay at Jasper’s house any longer.

After both children had fallen asleep, Anna went to the balcony to call Jasper. She sai “Thank you for looking after Isabella all these years because | should have been doing it. You’ve done well enough, so it’s best if she stays with me in the future.”

After a brief pause, Jasper said, “I asked Lily about it. I’ll go to Birmingham to pick up Isabella before her summer vacation ends.

Everything will be back to normal then.”

“No, you don’t have to do that. I’ve already thought about it.”

Jasper cut her off and said, “You haven’t given it much thought. You have to stay in Birmingham for a whole year, and you’re busy with your work, so you won’t have time to take care of her. When | previously promised to look after Isabella, | didn’t only do it for the sake of you, but also for the sake of Isabella. As her foster father, I will look after her even after she turns 18.”

Anna thought his words sounded a bit odd, but she couldn’ tell precisely what was odd about it. Then she asked, “What about Lily? You didn’t get into a fight with her, did you?”

“Lily and have decided to divorce.”

“What? You two are getting a divorce?!” Anna asked, wide-eyed with surprise. She thought, / knew Jasper would be enraged because Lily kicked Isabella out without telling him. But I had no idea it would go this far! 395 We Are Getting a Divorce Besides, isn’t Lily pregnant? What about the baby?

Jasper didn’t appear to be in a good mood and didn’t seem to want to. talk anymore. As a result, he quickly hung up the phone.

Standing on the balcony, Anna had mixed feelings as she looked up at the moon that was partly covered by the clouds. She thought to herself, Well, ‘ve pretty much messed up my relationship with Wayne. So, who am / to tell what Jasper should and shouldn’t do? Jasper is a wise and steady man. He knows what is best for Isabella. After all, it’s him who has looked after Isabella all these years. As for Isabella... She’s about to turn 18. And shouldn’t make the decision for her without her permission.

The next day, Wayne sat in his office, wearing a black shirt. The décor of his office was classical, making the entire atmosphere serious and upscale.

Noel, his assistant, said, “Mr. Wright, a media company is celebrating its anniversary at the end of this month, and they sent out invitations to you earlier. You haven’t decided whether or not you want to go there. What do you think?”

Wayne did not hesitate to say, “No, I’m not going.”

Celebrities typically attended media company anniversary celebrations, which served as excellent networking opportunities. It was also an incredible opportunity for him to promote the company.

“By the way, the legal department said that the result of our lawsuit with Light has come out,” Noel said after reading the notice.

Wayne raised his head. When he looked at Noel, his eyes were as calm and intelligent. “How did it go?” he asked.

“We won. Joshua Davis will be back tomorrow.” 395 We Are Getting a Divorce “So, any reaction from the board?” Wayne asked, nodding.

“You’re right, Mr. Davis is already planning a board meeting,” Noel said.

“Previously, the board met once a year. And they’ve only had three meetings since Joshua Davis joined the group six months ago. His father genuinely cares about him.”

“Mr. Davis really wants his son to be the head of the legal department, right?” Noel asked after a brief pause.

“Yes. Many people were unwilling to take on the lawsuit because it was so complicated. Only Joshua agreed to do that. He’s very efficient and it worked out. The entire legal department had been working on this issue for a year with no resolution, and it only took him two months to finish dealing with it. So I’m sure his father will seize this opportunity to impose some conditions on us.”

“But he had only been in the company for six months and did not meet the promotion criteria. According to the rules, employees in our company should be promoted based on their strengths and they can only be promoted after working here in a year.”

“So? The board might make an exception for him. It depends on whether his father genuinely loves him.”

You’re right, Mr. Wright. The group also has a rule that said that ifan employee owns a certain percentage of the group’s shares, they could be exempt from following this rule. People with exceptional abilities may be promoted sooner. Mr. Davis, a board member, is Joshua’s stepfather. If Mr. Davis truly wants his stepson to be the head of the legal department, he would give him a portion of his stock.

As Noel was thinking, Wayne suddenly asked, “Do you have plans for this Saturday?” 395 We Are Getting a Divorce “There’s an opening ceremony for a real estate project,” Noel said, flipping through his agenda book.

“Go there with Matthew.”

Noel nodded. Wayne was used to sending Matthew to events he didn’t want to attend.

“By the way, please cancel all of my future weekend plans.”

“What are you going to do?” Noel asked, frozen.

Wayne didn’t respond; he smiled and thought of something wonderful. “I’m going to meet someone,” he said Noel assumed Wayne was meeting someone unusual. Wayne loved his work as much as he loved his own life. So, Noel guessed that maybe Wayne was meeting with a potentially big client, which would be very profitable for the company.

Meanwhile, Anna’s shift schedule was back to normal. She was nervous because she was going to meet Peter. But she later discovered that because there were so many interns, Peter didn’t even notice her when she stood in the crowd. As a result, Anna was finally able to relax.

She was looking forward to the weekend on Friday afternoon. And then Nancy entered her office and asked, “Dr. Gabriel, are you available now?”

Hearing that, Anna became tense.
