Chapter 32
Madeleine was overjoyed at this moment. She had been waiting for so long, and the man in front of her finally belonged to her completely.
If Jensen proposed to her now, she would say yes at once.
However, Jensen, the hit of the conversation, didn’t raise his glass for a long while. He looked so sullen and depressed. He pursed his lips and didn’t say a word.
Gilda’s graceful departure kept replaying in Jensen’s mind.
Seeing everyone’s awkward posture, Sherry said, “Jensen, say something! Or the atmosphere will be really awkward.”
“Right, Jensen. Now that the jinx has been driven away, you should be the happiest one. Why do you look depressed?”
Then Carol looked at Madeleine with satisfaction. “I have no other wish except to see you marry Madeleine as soon as possible. I can’t wait to see you have a baby!”
Madeleine slightly blushed. “Mrs. Harrington, Jensen is really busy.”
Jensen glanced at the three people in front of him and said in a cold but strict tone, “Don’t tell Grandma about my
divorce from Gilda.”
Madeleine was stunned for a moment. She thought, ‘What does he mean? Jensen is not gonna marry me? Then my baby will be illegitimate.’
Madeleine slightly narrowed her eyes which turned moist at once. “Jensen, what about me and our baby?”
Madeleine reached out to stroke her belly with her tears dripping on her clothes.
Jensen took a deep breath, suppressed his annoyance, and said to Madeleine, “I will give you an explanation.”
Then he added, “I have something else to do. Excuse me.”
After saying that, Jensen left the three people at the dining table and went upstairs alone.
Madeleine sat on the chair and couldn’t come back to herself for a long while.
She thought, ‘Jensen really can’t forget about that woman!‘
At the thought of this, Madeleine’s expression instantly became resentful.
She murmured inwardly, ‘Gilda, I’m gonna make you suffer!‘
Carol and Sherry hurried over to comfort Madeleine. “Madeleine, everyone will be unhappy for a while about getting divorced. Jensen is no exception. We should be more considerate,” said Carol.
Sherry echoed, “Right, Madeleine. I like you the most. Jensen didn’t say he would marry you because he
had a trauma about his last marriage. He will surely bring flowers to propose to you in a few days.”
Seeing that Madeleine kept silent, the two of them were so embarrassed that they didn’t know what to do.
The next morning, Gilda was looking through documents when Megan rushed into the office and said, “Gilda, I’m so pissed off by Jensen! That idiot!”
Gilda was confused. “What’s wrong?”
Megan gave her phone to Gilda. Gilda took it over and looked at it. Then a sarcastic smile appeared on her pretty face. “Bullshit.”
The large and red headlines were eye–catching: [The One–time Mistress Who Cheated on the CEO and Hooked up With a Millionaire].
The article was basically saying that a CEO of a wealthy family secretly got married for three years and finally got divorced. His ex–wife and also secretary Ms. L used to be a mistress and then got married to the CEO, but later she got greedy and hooked up with a millionaire in Geleston on the company’s business trip. Then she dumped the CEO, gave away the company’s business resources, and divided the CEO’s billions of assets.
It was also attached with photos of Gilda meeting partners in Geleston.
All the comments below were cursing.
[How shameless. How can an unfaithful woman get a part of the CEO’s billions of assets?]
[I heard that the CEO is Jensen Harrington, the CEO of Harrington Corporation, and the unfaithful woman is his secretary, Gilda Lynch!]
[That woman looks very scheming already. Guys, let’s curse her!]
“What a conscienceless bastard Jensen is! He started to play tricks on you as soon as you got divorced!” Megan turned to look at Gilda angrily but saw that she was looking through the comments calmly..
Gilda finished reading calmly and then said, “A concise text with photos. Not bad for a scandal.”
Megan was speechless. “You are really optimistic.”
Then Gilda’s friend Yadira Mayer called her. “Gilda, I have looked into the report on the,trending topic
you. The person who paid for it is Madeleine Donovan. Have you had any grudges?”

Gilda sneered, “That pretentious bitch.”
“Do you need me to take it down?” said Yadira.

Yadira was the editor–in–chief of Global Entertainment and had great strength in entertainment news.
Gilda’s eyes were full of coldness. “No need. Taking down the trending topic quietly is not interesting. We have to fight back head to head…”
