Chapter 966 Don’t Want Her to Be Gossiped About
She never expected that her strongest supporter would be Rhys. She looked at Rhys with a complex expression and squeezed out two words from her throat, “Thank you.”
Suddenly, her heart was overwhelmed with pain. She had never dared to face the feelings between herself and Rhys. But deep down, Jenna knew that she had fallen in love with this man.
However, she knew that she was no longer worthy of Rhys now.
“If you really want to thank me, then don’t mention the divorce,” Rhys said suddenly. Jenna’s fingers unconsciously loosened as she lowered her head even more.
If it were any other request, she could promise him but this one thing was impossible. She had already promised Mrs. Williams that she would leave the Williams family as soon as possible, not to mention the baby in her belly.
“I have signed the divorce agreement; please sign it quickly,” Jenna urged Rhys in a low voice while suppressing discomfort inside.
But just as she finished speaking, a hand grabbed onto her chin without hesitation and forced her to lift up her head. Rhys’ slightly sharp face came into view.
“Jenna, don’t test my patience,” he said seriously. “I think I’ve made myself clear enough: since we are already married, let’s live well together and stop talking about divorce.”
His attitude was so serious that Jenna could clearly sense his sincerity but what difference did it make? There seemed an insurmountable gap between them which couldn’t be bridged or filled up by anything else.
Jenna held back the sourness and avoided looking into his eyes before saying coldly, “Mr. Williams, this is all just a transaction between us from beginning till end. Some things were wrong right from start, and whether it’s you or me, we must accept such results.”
Her tone was harsh while addressing him distantly; they weren’t truly husband and wife after all.
“Besides, I’ve found someone I like. Can Mr. Williams let me go? I just want to leave here and be with someone I like.”
Someone she liked?
Rhys had heard this phrase more than once coming out of Jenna’s mouth. As a man, he couldn’t help but mind such things…
But he had secretly investigated Jenna, and there was no record of anyone she liked in her life.
So, it seemed that Jenna just made up an excuse.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
He didn’t have much feeling for Jenna now, but they were husband and wife, not to mention that they had sex.
He should be responsible for her anyway.
Although he didn’t love Jenna that much, he could provide her with a stable life and give her enough respect.
Jenna suddenly remembered something. “Mr. Williams, let’s sleep in separate rooms tonight. I’ve moved all my things back to the guest room.”
If she wanted to draw clear boundaries between them, it would be better to do it sooner rather than later.
“I don’t agree. We’re husband and wife; sleeping together is only natural. Our relationship is legal; why should I accept such a proposal?” Rhys’ tone was cold but his attitude was firm.
On this point, Jenna couldn’t argue with Rhys at all; she could only leave it at that.
The Williams Group.
Rhys hadn’t been at the company long before he heard people talking about him.
“Is the online exposure true? Did our boss’ wife really do something so terrible?”
“What boss’ wife? Don’t make things up! I’ve heard their relationship isn’t great anyway, most likely this is true, or else our PR department would have started clearing things up by now.”
“I knew it! How could Mr. Williams possibly be interested in someone like her? She hardly ever comes into the office during my entire time working here… Isn’t Mr. Williams’ attitude obvious enough?”
As people chatted in the break room without noticing Rhys standing outside listening intently…
Rhys knew this kind of thing would cause a fierce stir but never expected even people within his own company were saying these kinds of things.
Hearing those words made Rhys think carefully about everything once again.
Ever since he married Jenna, Rhys had avoided any contact with her in order to avoid suspicion. They never even went to the office together.
No wonder people at the company had such thoughts.
Rhys walked back into his office, carrying his coffee and found someone from the secretary’s department.
“Mr. Williams, what can I do for you?”
Her voice was soft and gentle. Even when she spoke, there was a hint of coquettishness in her tone.
If it were any other man, their gaze would have already been fixed on Breanna Holloway.
But Rhys didn’t even glance at Breanna which left her feeling resentful inside.
Breanna liked Rhys. As his secretary, she believed that she could could get close to him and climb up the social ladders.
But Jenna beat her to it unexpectedly.
Breanna hated Jenna but after learning about today’s events, she felt herself still having a chance to win over Rhys.
Jenna was the mistress of the Williams family, but after such a scandal about her broke out, no one from the Williams family defended or spoke up for her.
It could be concluded that Jenna probably wasn’t valued much by the Williams family or Rhys.
Wasn’t this the perfect opportunity for Breanna to win Rhys’ favor?
A man as outstanding as Rhys wouldn’t be tied down by one woman alone right?
However, what she heard next from Rhys surprised Breanna.
“Tell all the employees not to discuss those rumors and focus solely on work.”
Rhys couldn’t help but feel annoyed thinking back on what he heard earlier this morning.
He never imagined they would view his wife like that.
“What do you mean, Mr. Williams?” asked Breanna confusedly upon hearing his words.
The only rumors they were talking about now within the company was undoubtedly related to Jenna.
