Chapter 186

Vistanda sat comfortably on Charles’s lap, blatantly ignoring Ken and Wayne.

Ken finally lowered his head, trembling all over. “Mr. Sinclair, we truly had no idea what was going on. Honestly, you can’t trust your wife completely. You made her CEO of Starlight, but behind your back, she took shares that were supposed to be fixed from the start. She’s scheming, she-

If Ken had brought this up earlier, Charles might have gotten suspicious. But he chose to say it right at this crucial moment.

Yolanda was hurting so much already, and it was obvious Charles had spent the night with Joelle. If he started getting hung up over those nominal shares now, he’d just be embarrassing himself.

Charles would never lower himself like that.

He glanced at Yolanda, who looked up at him with cheeks still a bit pink, anxious to explain herself. “I told you I wanted to show you what I’m capable of, but the people at Starlight are impossible. I have no real power there, they even tried to mess with me, so shares were the only thing I could work with. I wasn’t trying to keep this from you, I talked to Mr. Maine about everything. I drew up a contract–everything goes to you in the end. I’ve already signed it, you can take a look.”

She wasn’t caught off guard at all. Yolanda reached into her bag and pulled out the document transferring 18% of the shares, setting it right in front of Charles.

“This is the contract I asked Mr. Maine to draft, and I’ve already signed it. Honey, I swear…”

In the very next second, Charles tore up the transfer papers and dropped them straight into the trash. “Seriously, you think I’d blame you over something so insignificant?”

Yolanda murmured, head hanging low, her tone barely above a whisper. “I don’t know.”

Charles’s arms tightened around her instinctively. ‘Is this all my fault? Is it because of everything I did before… is that why she can’t trust me now?‘ he thought, guilt swirling in his chest.

He couldn’t help feeling a little annoyed; he caught her chin between his fingers and made her look at him. “That black card I gave you, and the ten million dollars before–do you seriously think any of that matters less than a handful of stocks? Was I ever petty like that?”

Yolanda’s eyes flashed with delight. She instantly planted a kiss on his lips and smiled, “No way. You’ve always treated me like your queen.”

Charles’s gaze grew intense, his Adam’s apple shifting as he swallowed hard. That dazzling confidence in her eyes right now? It was impossible not to be moved by it.

The more lovey–dovey Charles and Yolanda got, the more miserable Ken and Wayne felt, still stuck kneeling on the floor. They’d always heard gossip–how Charles didn’t love his wife, how he only married her to teach someone a lesson, and how the two practically ignored each other after tying the knot.

But looking at them now, all that talk sounded like total nonsense.
