Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 89:

Judie bit her lip, the struggle in her gaze evident.

To Vivian, Judie was not useful anymore.

It seemed her only pleasure was to flaunt in front of Judie. After chatting for a while, Vivian asked the others to leave. This gave Judie a chance to speak with Vivian.

“Ms. Warren, what joyous news! It’s all over town—Mr. Dawson’s grandmother has forgiven you. Seems your wedding with Mr. Dawson is on the horizon!” Judie said.

Vivian beamed. “Bryan’s grandmother has forgiven me long ago. She just stalled because of the Dawson family’s reputation. After all, I had left Bryan before. But now, it’s all good.”

“That’s good to hear,” Judie responded with haste. “But what are you going to do with Eileen?”

Hearing Eileen’s name, Vivian’s grin held a triumph. “She’s nothing but Bryan’s toy. She certainly can’t remain by Bryan’s side, not on my watch! I don’t think I’ll even let her stay in Onaland.”

A thrill raced through Judie. “Incredible! Just two days ago, Eileen told me to resign by the end of this month. She’s got to be riled up, seeing how close I am to you.”

Judie just wanted to make Vivian angrier at Eileen.

Her crafty words hit their mark.

Vivian questioned, “What will happen if you stay? Can she actually do anything?”

“Ms. Warren, everyone’s bound to slip up at work, big or small. She could simply use that as a reason to fire you. It’s difficult to predict,” Judie replied.

While Eileen had the power to fire someone in the company, Vivian, a secretary, wasn’t granted the authority to countermand such decisions.

Thus, securing Judie’s position within the firm was anything but easy for Vivian.

Vivian thought about seeking Bryan’s assistance, yet she doubted his willingness to help her.

The idea of pleading directly with Bryan had never crossed Judie’s mind. She just focused on winning Vivian’s favor, a strategy to fortify her own standing.

“Ms. Warren, did the thought ever cross your mind that Eileen might stir trouble at Mr. Dawson’s grandmother’s birthday bash, ruining your plans?” Judie asked.

The mere suggestion caused Vivian to stiffen. The precarious secret of the pregnancy, if unveiled by Eileen, threatened to shatter her carefully laid plans.

“She has to be out of Onaland before the birthday celebration,” Vivian said with a firm resolve.

Judie nodded in earnest agreement. “Absolutely! If her ties with Mr. Dawson come to light, she’ll have no choice but to leave the company and Onaland, too. Mr. Dawson will certainly cast her aside to preserve his own image.”
