âMary, I need a favor from you for my divorce.â
Once Mary read this message, her eyes brightened, and she immediately put aside her intention toblock the sender, eagerly replying. âWhat favor?â
âHoward has been wanting to work with your company. Can you give the project to him?â
The breath that Mary had been taking smoothly suddenly became erratic!
Her eyes reddened with anger.
Was Keera thinking of her as a fool?
In fact, with just one word from her, she could give Howard the money. She didnât even care about theprofit from that project.
But why did Keera have to deceive her with such
tricks?
Maryâs fingers trembled with anger, and she started typing. âKeera, youâve deeply disappointed me! Iâmcutting ties with you!!â
After she composed the message and was about to send it, she saw that Keera had sent anothermessage. âThen put a higher amount for the penalty in the contract, ten times is best. If the projectfails, initiate the recovery of the penalty and sue the company. By then, Howard, not wanting to beimplicated, will definitely leave the company, house, and Amy all to
me.â
Mary was dumbfounded.
She immediately deleted what she had sent and resentfully composed a new one. âPrincess, yourknight is ready and waiting. smiling_face.jpgâ
Amy had already fallen asleep.
After sending that series of messages to Mary, Keira saw that Mary had withdrawn a message.
She asked, âWhat did you just send?â
Mary replied in a second. âNothing. I sent it by mistake. I promise itâs nothing bad.â
Keira didnât know what to say.
She shook her head and set the mobile phone aside.
Her divorce plan was just like the messages she sent Mary. She could have asked Samuel to handle it,but that would always leave traces.
Within Keeraâs circle of friends, only Maryâs help would be the least conspicuous.
Next, all she needed to do was play the role of an idiot who was calm and patient despite herhusbandâs infidelity and mother-in-lawâs abuse, focused only on her family!
With a smile tugging at her lips, she turned over and silently went to sleep.
The next morning.
After getting up, she took Amy to the early learning class and then took a taxi to Howardâs office⦠no,th should be Keeraâs company, Keera South Technology Co., Ltd.
The company rented a small office in a building, with about ten employees inside.
When she arrived, Mary was already waiting for her in front of the building in her sports car, dressed inelegant designer clothes.
Upon seeing Keira, she immediately curved her lips
into a smile. âKeera, how do I look today? I hope Iâm not embarrassing you with this outfit?â
Keira replied with a thumbs-up and a smile.
The two entered the building together and approached
Howardâs office.
Before they could open the door, they heard embarrassing noises coming from inside.
Keiraâs eyes narrowed slightly.
Howardâs lover, Cindy, was his secretary, and the two of them had hooked up in the office. Right now,they were on the sofa, shamelessly canoodling.
Cindyâs skirt was hiked up to her waist.
Howardâs pants were also down to his kneesâ¦
The moment Keira opened the door, she saw Cindyâs bare backâ¦
Startled by the sound, they both jumped and hurriedly dressed. Howard turned furious upon seeingKeira. âKeera, who let you in?!â
Cindy also had no shame at being caught in the act.
After getting dressed, she took a look at Keira and said with a mix of sarcasm and mockery, âMadam,donât be angry. Itâs not what youâre thinking between Mr. Smith
and meâ¦â
Keira didnât know what to say.
She wasnât blind!
Seeing her silence, Cindy went on. âItâs all my fault. I seduced Mr. Smith. Donât blame himâ¦â
As Cindy spoke, she glanced at Keira but saw that the womanâs expression remained unchanged,showing no hint of pleasure or anger.
She was suddenly at a loss for words.
Wasnât this the moment for Keera to slap her?
However, if Keera didnât slap her, she would take
matters into her own hands..
Cindy reached out her hand and slapped herself before looking up with teary eyes. âMaâam, I realizemy mistake⦠please donât look at me like thatâ¦â
Howard, though, had already charged over and pushed Keira aside. He held Cindy and said angrily,âKeera,
what are you doing? Sheâs carrying my child. If
anything happens, I wonât let you off the hook!â
|| ||
â¦
Keira silently watched them, feeling beyond words.
What had she done?
That little schemer had been talking the whole time, and she hadnât said a word.
She twitched the corner of her mouth, lowered her head to hide the mockery in her eyes, and spoke ina soft, weak voice. âHoward, Iâm here because Mary wants to collaborate with our companyâ¦â
At these words, Howard finally noticed Mary standing behind Keera, and he was momentarily takenaback.
Mary was glaring at him, wanting to scold him, but fearing she might mess up Keeraâs plan, so shethrew contract at him. âStamp it and sign it!â
Howard immediately took the contract with a smile on his face. âMiss Davis, you and Keera havereconciled?â
He glanced at the contents of the contract; it was for a new energy cooperation research anddevelopment project.
Their companyâs research personnel had to provide research results for Maryâs company in one month.If they failed to complete it on time, they had to pay a penalty of ten times the amount, about twentymillion.
This clause was deliberately made as an invisible condition, which non-professionals wouldnât be ableto
discern.
Howard glanced over it casually and delightedly signed his name with the companyâs seal.
Then he grinned. âMiss Davis, you should come over to the house more often. Keera, really, how couldyou block Miss Davis over such a trivial matter? Youâve been good friends for so many yearsâ¦â
Mary snorted but didnât speak.
Keira looked at Howard; hesitating to speak. â⦠You havenât come home in several days, and Amymisses her daddy.â
Howard immediately laughed. âIâll come home tonight to have dinner with Amy. Alright, you can gonow!â
Keira gave Cindy a âtriumphantâ look, then âreluctantlyâ left with Mary.
Once she left, Cindy started to get unhappy. âArenât you staying with me tonight?â
Howard said bluntly, âI was just appeasing her in front of Mary. Canât you tell? I havenât been home fora few days, and Keera is already thinking of ways to please me⦠With the Davis familyâs collaboration,our company can make a few million a year!â
Cindy then became happy. âI knew it. Youâre the bestâ¦â
âOf courseâ¦â
Howard touched her waist, his eyes gradually
becoming lecherous. âTheyâve left, shall we continue?â
Mary, on her way downstairs, couldnât help but want to vomit. âThat was disgusting! Is he really goinghome tonight?â
âHe wonât.â
Keira replied.
