Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

This move infuriated the company's senior shareholders.

At the end of March, Uncle Edward and Uncle Charles from the Cooper family joined forces with several veteran board members to call an emergency shareholders' meeting.

Their goal was clear: use the accusation that Xenia Cooper was shielding Stewart for personal reasons as grounds to force her to step down as CEO of Neonova Syndicate.

Stewart attended the meeting as well.

Technically, he had no right to be there he didn't own any Cooper family shares.

But that day, Stewart calmly produced evidence that, eight years ago, Uncle Edward and Uncle Charles had hired a hitman.

The intended victims? The Cooper family's eldest son and Xenia Cooper's then- fiancé.

A staged car accident had left one dead and one gravely injured, while the perpetrators walked free for eight long years.

The moment Stewart unveiled the evidence, the room erupted.

Within minutes, detectives entered and escorted both uncles out.

The shareholders' meeting ended in chaos.

After eight years of patience and quiet endurance, Xenia Cooper had finally achieved her goal.

Back in her office, Xenia was in high spirits. She turned to Stewart and said, "You've worked hard these past two months. Take three days off-go home and spend some time with your son."
