Infidelity: His Regret, My Revenge – A Twisted Love Story You Can't Ignore

Chapter 28

A cold voice came from across the aisle. Snapping back to attention, I turned to meet Evan’s gaze, my face flushing crimson. His directness was like a sharp sword piercing me, throwing me into a boiling cauldron, frying me until I was utterly humiliated.

“Sorry, it won’t happen again,” I mumbled, lowering my head.

“I hope so,” he said coldly, withdrawing his gaze.

I was mortified. Zach was also embarrassed; he didn’t understand the CEO’s displeasure. My slight distraction wasn’t a significant issue; I’d recently experienced a major life upheaval; it was understandable that I was a little absentminded.

The flight attendant came to clear the breakfast and brought coffee. Evan rested for only about ten minutes before starting a video conference. For the next five hours of the flight, he was either in meetings, on calls, or reviewing documents. Zach had to report urgent matters constantly, followed by more calls and video conferences… The workload was as demanding as being in the office.

Seeing Zach had a moment, I quietly called him over, asking for details about the business trip. I needed to quickly grasp everything to keep up with his pace.

Zach sent me the itinerary for the next few days. The destination was Singapore; the main purpose was to inspect the branch office and meet with government officials and key business partners.

“This is the first stop; we’ll be inspecting branches worldwide over the next six months,” Zach whispered.

“Mm,” I nodded, understanding. He’d recently taken over as CEO; he needed to assert his authority. Even as the heir, his management skills would be questioned; he needed to demonstrate his capabilities, establish his dominance, and consolidate power; a new emperor, a new court; there would always be dissenters.

“Why Singapore as the first stop?” I asked quietly, out of curiosity. I’d researched Jones Group–a classic family

business, with capital accumulated over generations, originally a money lending house, evolving into a private bank, entering real estate in the 90s, then branching into new energy, entertainment, and the internet, with six listed companies. The Singapore branch was a new energy company, not the largest or most prominent. His choice of Singapore as the first stop puzzled me.

Zach hesitated.“Uh, nothing special. It’s closer.”

… What kind of joke was that? A man who owns a Gulfstream G650 could fly anywhere except the moon!

muttering, “In the US branch, I could handle everything myself. Back at headquarters, I’m constantly swamped.”
