Goodbye Cheater Hello CEO’s Wife by Payne Walter

Chapter 24

Scarlett made great efforts to win Zachary from her, but Zachary was not sincerely devoted to her and had been wavering between her and Isabella until now. Only she knew that Zachary’s affection for Isabella was not simply because of the allure of Isabella’s future inheritance.

To get Wonne’s money and cut off Zachary’s retreat, she even risked herself and arranged the scene at the engagement party. She thought she could defeat isabella miserably and tarnish her reputation.

Unexpectedly, Isabella randomly asked a man to marry her at the ceremony, and the man agreed.

At that time, Scarlett secretly hoped that such a handsome man was a cowboy. In that case, Isabella would start a new chapter and experience living in pain. Yet, Scarlett had never expected the man to be the CEO of Rayson International.

She could not believe that handsome and incomparable man was Rayson International’s CEO. She always thought that Rayson International’s CEO must be a middle–aged man in his forties.

She had fantasized more than once that she could attract the CEO of a company like Rayson International or Maguire Group to fall for her. As long as she could be kept by such a rich man, she did not long for their true feelings. She was always willing to sacrifice her youth for money.

“It’s so unfair! I even used the trick of getting pregnant but only managed to capture half of Zachary’s heart. However, Isabella could win over Rayson International’s CEO easily. Why? Why? What on earth made Isabella so special?‘ While thinking dissatisfiedly, Scarlett’s fingernails dug into her flesh.

“She truly hated Isabella’s good luck.

Meanwhile, Isabella, who was hated, stood before Clayton with some papers.

Clayton did not go to the company but worked in the study that day.

He took Isabella to the study with him after the meal. Isabella did not refuse. She wanted to make a list she had thought about and talked

with Clayton afterward.

Clayton secretly observed Isabella’s side profile as he examined the document. To him, she looked very cute when she was serious. She held her chin, blinked her big eyes, and wrote quickly on the paper. Then, she stopped writing, scratched her hair, and nibbled at her fingers. After a while, she continued writing, sighed, crossed out, and rewrote.

When she was out of ideas, she rubbed her hair, and her hair became tousled. She pouted and put the pen between her lips and nose, making her look adorable.

Clayton was in a good mood, thinking Isabella often revealed her true nature unintentionally.

In just three days, he had seen many sides of her.

When isabella first met Zaylee, she was docile and polite. Clayton regarded it as how she was in front of others. Meanwhile, her stubbornness, decisiveness, calmness, and sobriety on the day of the engagement party showed her other side.

In addition to her fierce, cunning, and confused demeanor shown before, he thought the adorable look right before him was also part o real self.
