The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 656

Chapter 656 My Husband Still Chose Me

This bidding proposal is written by Wisteria...

Naturally, Avery was well-acquainted with Wisteria, this so-called rival who wasn't really a rival. The latter was a cunning woman and had a knack for circling around Cayden.

In fact, Wisteria once went so far as to throw her underwear in Cayden's car, leading to a misunderstanding between Avery and him.

Even though Avery had an unfavorable impression of Wisteria, she couldn't deny the latter's formidable work abilities, making her an indispensable right-hand woman to Cayden.

Despite her reservations about Wisteria and not wanting the woman to have too much interaction with her husband, even if it was purely work-related, Avery chose to silently endure it all for the sake of Cayden.

Thankfully, whatever Cayden said seemed to have an effect on Wisteria, and she became more well-behaved recently, causing fewer problems.

As Avery carefully went through Wisteria's bid proposal, her eyebrows began to furrow slightly.

She called Tina through the internal line and said, “Tina, could you please ask Ms. Summers to come to the CEO's office?”

“Just a moment,” Tina complied and headed to Wisteria's office to relay the message that the acting CEO would like to see her.

Meanwhile, Wisteria was on the verge of a breakdown.

Ever since she heard the news of Cayden's mishap, she had been left completely bewildered.

These past few days, she had been constantly shedding tears, unable to believe the fact that Cayden had passed away.

Overwhelmed with despair, she felt like she was trapped in a painful abyss from which she could not extricate herself.

Being someone who always took great care of her appearance, she no longer had the heart to dress up due to Cayden's absence.

Once a radiant woman, her eyes were sunken now, and her hair disheveled, as if she had aged ten years in an instant.

Soon, she followed the secretary into the CEO's office.

Upon seeing Avery sitting in the seat that belonged to Cayden, examining the bid proposal, a flash of resentment, jealousy, and mostly contempt flickered in Wisteria's eyes.

“Mrs. Moore, Ms. Summers has arrived. If you don't need anything else, I'll get back to my work now,” Tina informed before ushering Wisteria into the CEO's office. After greeting Avery, Tina headed back to her own office.

“Mrs. Moore, what can I do for you?” Even though Wisteria hid her emotions well, the deep-seated resentment she held toward Avery, coupled with the fact that there were only the two of them in the CEO's office allowed her to speak without much restraint.

Naturally, Avery knew Wisteria's true feelings well.

Nonetheless, she just found the whole scenario amusing.

After all, Wisteria was just Cayden's work partner, and despite her feelings for him, he had always treated her with indifference. Avery, on the other hand, knew that she was the one who held the title of Cayden's wife.

This woman not only covets my husband but also has the audacity to show such a resentful expression toward me, Cayden's legal wife?

Nevertheless, Avery figured it was not the time to dwell on such matters.

She spread the bidding documents in front of Wisteria and asked, “Ms. Summers, did you write this bidding proposal?”

Wisteria responded coldly, “Mrs. Moore, didn't you notice the signature at the end of the bidding proposal? Or perhaps your vision has deteriorated at such a young age?”

She couldn't help but look down on the woman before her. In her eyes, Avery was like a weak and fragile flower that could only thrive when clinging to a man's support. Without a man's protection, even the slightest storm would likely cause Avery to wither away.

How could a woman like her possibly stand shoulder-to-shoulder with such an outstanding man like Cayden Moore? Yet, it's this very woman, with her innocent face, gentle personality, and seductive tactics, who managed to win his affection. Not only did she bear his child, but even in his will, she seemed to be at the forefront of his thoughts. One can only imagine how deeply he must have loved her to provide her with such generous material security even after his departure.

The thought of that made Wisteria absolutely livid.

Fixing her gaze on Wisteria's arrogant expression, Avery scoffed lightly and responded to the woman's provocation, saying, “Whether my vision is good or not seems to have nothing to do with you, Ms. Summers. Nevertheless, even if my eyesight were flawed, my husband still chose me. Meanwhile, you, who are blessed with such good eyesight, are still infatuated with him. Oh well, even though my eyes may not be as sharp as yours, I'm satisfied with my current status. You see, it's important for people to know how to be content.”

Avery's sharp retort stung Wisteria, making the latter clench her teeth in frustration. However, constrained by her current position, she had to suppress her emotions and replied, “Mrs. Moore, you didn't call me here today just to humiliate me, did you? Because if that's the case, I'm afraid I can't oblige!”
