The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 99:

? ? ? ? ?

Joshua's secretary was shaking with anxiety.

She longed to escape but felt paralyzed.

Observing Lilliana's domineering behavior, Joshua's displeasure increased and he ordered his secretary, "Go away now!"

The secretary rushed out immediately.

Lilliana, frustrated, snapped at Joshua, “What are you saying? Am I not allowed to direct your secretary?” Her voice rose sharply, echoing with anger, and her expression contorted with frustration.

Joshua silently closed the office door.

He faced Lilliana calmly and firmly, containing his irritation. “Do you realize that the entire office is under surveillance? If your outbreak today is filmed, what will you do? Are you not interested in going out into the public eye again?”

Lilliana sneered disdainfully. “If I decide to return to the limelight, I need only speak to my father. I am not intimidated by any of these minor players. Is your concern for me genuine, or are you trying to divert attention from some misconduct on your part?”

Under Lilliana's piercing, accusatory gaze, Joshua clenched his fists in frustration. “What are you implying?”

“What am I implying?” Lilliana replied as she stood up and closed the distance between them, her eyes narrowed. “If I hadn't visited today, I wouldn't have noticed how many attractive women work here. It must be quite a daily pleasure, surrounded by so much beauty, right?”

Joshua's expression soured. “Their employment here is not my decision. Why take out your frustrations on them?”

“I just can't stand it. What does it matter? It's just a few employees. Find others to hire. And look at you – so gloomy. You’re really angry with me, aren’t you?” Lilliana challenged.
