Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

“Yes.” Preston was pleasant to the executive who came over. David was speechless. He gritted his teeth. “Preston, you’re going too far.” He hadn’t even left yet, but someone was already occupying his office. “You’re better at that!” Preston said with an indifferent expression. David was so angry that he couldn’t say anything. The new executive carried his things and said to the employees behind him, “Come on, help me clean up. Hurry up and get it done. I still have to work.” “Yes, Mr. Simmons,” The employees immediately replied. They rushed in and started to clean up. One of them threw David’s photo frame into the trash can right away. “Stop!” David was furious. Preston glanced at David again and left the office. After Preston left, David looked at the new executive, Ivan Simmons, and said impolitely, “Ivan Simmons, so you think you’re a big deal now. You think I’d just stand by and do nothing, do you? All of you, stop. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.” Ivan didn’t care about David at all. “David Zelle, a new empire comes with new officials. You’re already in the past.” David called Ivan by his full name, and in turn, Ivan did the same. He had been bullied by David for so many years. Now that the boss had chosen the right person, he finally had a chance to turn the tables. He wouldn’t miss it for anything. “Aren’t you afraid that Mr. Jared Blake will come back?” “I’m scared. I’m so scared indeed. I’m scared to death even. Alright, get lost already. Don’t get in my way. Otherwise, I’ll call security.” Ivan spat at David. “You!” David exploded. “Move aside! Don’t disturb my work.” Ivan took the broom from the employee and swept it at David’s feet. David could only jump away. As soon as he jumped away, Ivan continued to sweep and hit his feet. He wanted to make a move, but Ivan stood in front of him with the broom in his hand. Ivan looked at him with a faint smirk, as if he was waiting for David to make a move at any time. He was not as big as Ivan. In the past, he only bullied Ivan because of his position and relationship with Jared. Now that Preston had taken over, Ivan became the one with the upper hand. If David were to actually fight Ivan, he knew that he would lose. He could only leave curses behind. He gritted his teeth and pointed at Ivan. “Just you wait. All of you, just you wait.” Then, he left angrily. As he walked past Preston’s office, he saw Preston handing another dismissal letter to another executive. This executive was also in bed with David’s lot. David knew that they had lost the upper hand. Without Jared, they were indeed nothing. There was nothing they could do. Now, he only wanted to spend money to avoid trouble and not go to jail. In one day, Preston fired six executives, all of whom were in league with Jared. Like David, they wanted to fight for the chance to stay in Blake Corporation, but Preston was determined and fired them all. There was no way he could forget how difficult they had been to him when he came to Blake Corporation with the shares his grandmother had given him. They had secretly formed a clique to kick him out of Blake Corporation. It was ridiculous to be ostracized by a group of outsiders when he was holding 60 percent of the shares, preventing him from inheriting the Blake Corporation. No matter how they begged, Preston remained unmoved. At this point, Preston could be considered to have completely established a foothold in Blake Corporation. All work was carried out in an orderly manner. Preston treated the Parks couple, Annalise’s parents, Trevor, and others to a meal. It was rare for everyone to gather together. Madam Blake and Katherine also went. The huge private room was filled to the brim. The atmosphere was very amicable. Madam Blake’s health was improving day by day with the help of the pills. She knew that Jared was going to jail. She knew that Jared deserved it, but she still sighed a few times. She then instructed Preston to always remember one’s point of origin, no matter what they did. Katherine had not seen Heather for a while. She was very happy to see Heather now. “Heather, you look much better than before.” “Yes, godmother.” Heather was all smiles. When she suffered from amnesia, she did not know what had happened in the past, but she always felt that something in her life was missing. Later on, when she regained her memories, she realized that she had forgotten the most important thing in her life. Therefore, even though her godmother treated her very well, she still felt depressed about it. Now that her family was complete and happy, her depression had dissipated. Coupled with the effects from the medicine, she was getting younger and younger. Mina followed Annalise over for a free meal today. She was very happy. Before the dishes were served, she excitedly raised a glass of wine to Preston. ‘Come, come, Mr. Blake, let me toast you. Congratulations! Come, drink!” Preston looked at Mina strangely and asked, “I thought you didn’t know how to drink?” Mina’s eyes flashed and she immediately smiled. “I learned again.” Things were different now. Back then, Preston asked her out for a drink alone. If both of them got drunk, they wouldn’t even know if they were thrown into the sea. It was different now. There were so many people, and her mentor was there as well. Even if she was drunk, Annalise would get someone to carry her back. “Thank you!” When Preston heard that Mina had learned how to drink, the corners of his lips curled up. He felt that she looked so cute when she smiled. He clinked his glass against hers, then drank. Julian also toasted Preston. Preston was very grateful. He held the glass and said, “Mr. Parks, I’m not good with words. I’ll drink to your and Annalise’s health. Thank you for your help. I can’t thank you enough. Here, I wish you husband and wife a happy life. I wish your baby a bright and long life. In the future, if you need me for anything, I’ll definitely be willing to go the extra mile.” Annalise saw Preston toasting the two of them, so she also stood up with a glass of juice. Preston immediately called out to her. “Annalise, sit down. You’re pregnant. Don’t tire yourself.” “It’s okay,” Annalise said with a smile. Julian said, “Congratulations! There’s no need to stand on ceremony between friends. In the future, we’ll work together to earn money and do what needs to be done.” “Yes,” Preston replied and clinked glasses with Julian and Annalise. Immediately after, he toasted the Xander couple. Then another toast to Trevor. When he toasted Trevor, he said gratefully, “Trevor, thank you for your help all this while. To all that you’ve done for me. Cheers!” “Congratulations!” Trevor clinked glasses with Preston. After clinking glasses, Trevor’s heart suddenly felt empty. Jared was sent to prison, and Preston cleaned up Blake Corporation from top to bottom. The man could be considered to have completely secured Blake Corporation as the president. From now on, he no longer needed to accompany Lianne in and out of Blake Corporation every day. He no longer needed to protect her. He was suddenly in a bad mood. He had an indescribable feeling. He picked up his glass and drained it. Then he poured himself another glass and drained it again. After drinking a few glasses of wine, his mood eased a lot. He poured another glass. Lianne was sitting beside him. When she saw Trevor drinking like this, she was shocked and immediately took away the glass. “Trevor, you can’t drink like this. Drink too quickly and you’ll get drunk!”
