Eudora George was locked in the room for three whole days. She was only given a mouthful of water each day and not a single sliver of food.
On the third night, she was so hungry that she could hardly breathe.
The door was suddenly opened and Kesha George walked in.
She looked at Eudoraâs pathetic look and sneered. âEudora, I heard from Brother-In-Law that you asked for a divorce. I didnât expect that you would try to cause such a big trouble?â
âWhat are you doing here?â Eudora clenched her teeth and glared at her sister.
âDo you think I really wanted to come? Father heard that youâre asking for a divorce, so he sent me here to advise you.â
âHeh! Advise me?â she thought. âDidnât you guys already sell Everpeace Group off? What use do I still have for you?â
âNow now donât say that Eudora. I mean, it would bode well for our family if we still have someone as successful as Felix as our son and brother-in-law yes? That way we will be able to live a better life too, donât you think so?â
It came to Eudoraâs realisation that her sister didnât come here to give her advice. Kesha just came here to laugh at her.
âIf you donât have anything better to do, then get lost!â Eudora couldnât be bothered to pay any more attention to her.
âDonât be like that, Eudora!â Kesha responded wickedly, âQuite the contrary of what you think of me, I actually support you getting a divorce from him. Whatâs the point of staying together if you donât love each other anymore, right? So you must persevereâ¦â
âKesha, what nonsense are you talking about to your sister?â Felix Meyerâs voice came from behind her.
Keshaâs expression immediately changed and she plastered an innocent smile on her face. âBrother-in-law, my sister is too stubborn. She is not listening to me!â
Felix sighed helplessly. âIt would be great if your sister is as sensible as you.â
Kesha looked at Felix. âBrother-in-law, youâre so kind. I believe my sister will come to understand and appreciate your kindness.â
âOkay!â Felix nodded. âYou should go back first. I have something to talk to your sister.â
Kesha shot Eudora a vicious glare and turned around reluctantly. âI shall take my leave then.â
Eudora looked at this scene in front of her and sneered in her heart. Only a woman as superficial as Kesha would like a scum like Felix Meyer. They were a perfect match!
Felix closed the door behind him and walked over to help Eudora up. âEudora, do you really want a divorce from me that much?â
Eudora refused to answer him. Her actions had clearly shown her intention.
âOkay!â Felix paused. âI can promise you that I will get a divorce with you. But as you know, the company is not doing very well right now. The project with Valiant East seems to be falling apart too. How could you leave at a difficult time like this?â
Eudora clenched her teeth. âWhat do you want?â
Felix thought for a moment and said, âLetâs make a deal. And this is the only deal I will offer to you. I will let you go out and work the company. As long as youâre able to make enough money to recover our losses, Iâll let you go.â
âWhat do you mean by ârecover our lossesâ? You ought to give me a figure.â
Having gone through so much, Eudora would not be so stupid to blindly trust Felix again.
âNot much, just a few million dollars. As long as you help me secure a few big projects, I believe you will be able to earn that amount of money back, perhaps even more.â
âIn that case I want to put this on paper. I want to sign an agreement!â Eudora said.
âOK!â Felix agreed unexpectedly. He got up and went to the desk. He found a piece of paper and scribbled on it. He then handed the paper to Eudora. âTake a look. Is this okay?â
Eudora looked at it twice and after confirming that there were indeed no issues, she finally signed it.
âWhen do I start working?â
âTomorrow morning.â
