Contract with CEO: Having A Child Unexpected Chapter 19 The Benefits of Choosing to Get Divorced
Henry quickly placed his hand over Regina's mouth. "What if someone hears us? Do you want to ruin our plan?"Regina roughly pushed his hand away. "What's the point of this plan now? Everything’s a mess. Divorce is the only option left.""Are you not embarrassed at the idea of us becoming the shortest-lived couple in town? I don't want that kind of shame!"Regina glared at him. "Do you think being homeless is less embarrassing than a divorce?""Calm down. Do you really think we'd end up homeless? I’ve thought everything through. We can stay in an apartment," Henry replied calmly."It's impossible to get a decent apartment in a day. There are so many things to take care of. You're so unreliable!" Regina snapped."Regina, didn’t you hear me? I already told you, we’ll stay in my apartment. It’s separate from my parents' assets."Regina looked at him skeptically. "Are you sure it’s really yours and that your parents won’t interfere?"Henry gave a bitter smile. "Are you doubting me? Of cour

Regina froze, glancing momentarily at the shattered pieces behind her. She merely looked at Mrs. Jian before shutting the door without a word. "Damn it! Servant! Clean this up quickly!" Mrs. Jian shouted loudly. "Wife, why are you so angry?" Mr. Jian approached his wife. "That Tan family doll infuriates me. She's completely unworthy of being a daughter-in-law. If I had known, I would have chosen the woman Henry brought along then rather than Henry with a mere pawn," Mrs. Jian vented, forgetting her composure. "Calm yourself. Henry will surely regret marrying that woman. Soon enough, Henry will leave her. We just have to wait for that time to come," Mr. Jian gently reassured his wife. "Will Henry really leave his wife? That woman even plans to influence Henry to stay with her." "My dear wife, trust me! I'm sure her influence won’t last long." *** Regina sought out a friend who might be able to help her. However, the response she received was beyond her expectations. "You asked

"I never expected you to be such a trashy woman! How many men have you offered this deal to in order to help you get a project?" Henry whispered scornfully.Regina straightened up. "I told you, I wasn't serious about it. And another thing, I'm not the kind of trashy woman you think I am."Henry stared at Regina for a long moment. His body stiffened again. "But if you were serious about offering it, I wouldn’t refuse. You wouldn’t regret selling yourself to me. I'll give you everything you want, even if it affects my business.""Damn it! I don't need it!" "Are you sure? Isn't this about your failed big project and the client moving to work with my company?" "I already said I didn't want--"Henry cut her off, "I haven't signed the contract with them.""Why? You were boasting about it this morning," Regina said, looking at Henry who had started driving the car."I don't want any rumors to spread, I grabbed the client from my wife's company, it would be bad for my image. Besides, it's w

"Hey, Regina, listen to me. Even if I've discarded others after giving them so much, I would never do that to you!" Henry's gaze bore into Regina's eyes, intense and unyielding. Regina's heart raced. She couldn't meet Henry's piercing stare, which seemed to see right through her. "Of course, you can't just throw me away. We have an agreement, and you wouldn't want to ruin your reputation. I get it. Let's not talk about irrelevant things." Regina walked ahead, trying to escape Henry's intense gaze. Unwanted emotions clouded her mind. She could feel Henry's presence following closely behind her. "Hey, you don't even know where you're going, do you? Don't walk off alone," Henry said, grabbing her hand firmly. "There's no need to hold hands! I'm not a child who'll get lost without knowing the way back." Regina attempted to free herself, but Henry tightened his grip, making it nearly impossible. "Just follow me. There might be paparazzi around." "That's unlikely. I've seen that

Mrs. Jian looked at the mother and son pair with eyes filled with hatred. Her lips uttered sarcastic words in response, "You are mother and son just know how to make me angry!" Hatred was evident as the middle-aged woman walked away. "Mrs. Jian, are you just going to run away?" Regina's voice was loud, but Mrs. Jian showed no sign of stopping her steps or resolving the issue. "Mommy." Kevin's calling voice drew Regina's attention. Looking at the boy in distress stirred unfamiliar feelings within her. A heart-wrenching pain enveloped her. "What's really going on? Were you hit?" Carefully, Regina wiped Kevin's reddened cheeks. The boy buried himself in her embrace, his body still trembling. Kevin answered in a hoarse voice, "I just didn't like being insulted by Grandma, so I retaliated against what she said. She got angry and hit me." "Is there anything else besides that?" Regina released Kevin from her hug. Her eyes were deep, trying to penetrate the boy's eyes to find the truth. H

Regina bent her legs, kneeling in front of her mother-in-law. She threw away all her pride to do this. She lowered her eyes and said with utmost sincerity, "I apologize for what Kevin did to you. " Mrs. Jian looked at Regina with a sharp gaze. Her gaze looked at Regina with disbelief, "What kind of trick is this? Are you going to play the victim and then slander me in front of my son that I forced you to kneel down and apologize?" Regina remained calm even though Madame Jian's sharp gaze pierced into her. The woman lifted her body, standing tall with a straight gaze. "I don't have any ill plans and only hope that you forgive my son. As an adult it is appropriate to humble oneself and admit mistakes." Mrs. Jian gave her a cold look, a few seconds later, a triumphant smile was etched, "It's good that you're willing to apologize for your incompetent upbringing of your son." "Mrs. Jian, shouldn't you also apologize to Kevin? You beat him so badly and threatened him. As an adult, ar

"Please, take me along with you and Madam!" The servant pleaded. "I truly wish to serve you and Madam." Henry instead scoffed at him. "Why should I bring a spy from my parents' side?" The servant recoiled. "Sir, I am truly not a spy. I am genuinely devoted to--" "If you're not a spy, then you wouldn't eavesdrop on conversations. Don't block my path!" Henry pushed the servant away. The servant stared at Henry for a moment. His hands clenched tightly. *** Henry entered Kevin's room, approaching a sleeping boy. His gaze fell on the flushed cheeks. A heavy sigh escaped his lips. "Regina wasn't lying." He reached out to wake him up but eventually pulled back. He went to the wardrobe and began packing clothes into a suitcase. As Henry busied himself with packing clothes, Kevin finally stirred from his deep slumber. His eyes opened slowly, still sleepy. "Dad, what's Dad doing in my room?" he asked with a hoarse voice. Henry turned to Kevin. "I'm packing your clothes. We're leaving ri

"Kevin, cease your insistence; I have no interest in hearing any of his nonsense!" Regina shot a glance at Kevin through the mirror. Kevin pursed his lips, bowing his head sadly. "I merely wish to make Mom and Dad like a typical couple. If you exchange sweet words, wouldn't your marriage last longer?" Seeing her son's bowed figure, cloaked in a gray aura of disappointment, left Regina unsure of what to do. "Kevin, you can't expect more than this, and a couple that appears sweet isn't guaranteed to last long. You understand that, don't you?" Henry interjected. "Real couple life isn't like in fairy tales." Kevin, however, smiled, leaving Henry puzzled. "Why are you smiling like that?" "I'm just glad Dad is siding with Mom. It's words of comfort for her, isn't it? Though rough, I understand Dad actually meant to say that even if you two aren't sweet to each other, you're a perfect match and will endure, and even though Dad acted harshly earlier, in truth, even if Mom isn't as s

"Henry, did you really fire me? Can't you differentiate between personal issues and work?" Reina protested vehemently.Henry gave Reina a cold stare. "This isn't personal, Reina. You violated professionalism by neglecting your duties yesterday. Besides, I want us to end this relationship. I expect you to clear out your belongings from my apartment as well."Reina smiled bitterly. "You just want to discard me when you're bored? Henry, I'll expose your behavior to the media."Henry remained unfazed. "Go ahead!""Fine. You'll regret it," Reina stormed out, slamming the door in frustration.Henry didn't care. He still had plenty to do.***Regina felt irritated seeing the incessant messages coming her way. No matter how many times she blocked him, the man kept bothering her."Regina, have you been waiting long? I'm sorry."Regina turned off her phone and put it in her bag. "What's up? Why do you want to dine out without inviting Kevin?""We've been together for a few days now. I want us t

"You don't need to walk me all the way in," Regina said politely. "No, I can't leave you alone. Besides, I want to meet your child. You might be pushing me away because of your kid, right? If I can get him to like me, you'll accept me too, won't you?" Harlan replied with confidence. Regina looked at him seriously. "Harlan, don't waste your time on me. You deserve someone better. My life is too complicated right now; you might regret it." Harlan smiled gently. "It's okay. I'm ready to face everything. I'd regret it more if I let you go." Regina gazed into his eyes and saw his sincerity. "Alright. If you can love my son, I'll warn him, but you must be genuinely sincere to him." Harlan nodded. *** "Kevin, why are you outside?" Regina asked worriedly as she arrived at the apartment door with Harlan. "Uncle Harlan, take Mom away. Dad is raging inside. I don't want Mom to get hurt," Kevin said seriously, looking at Ha

Regina stood silent for a moment, stunned by Kevin's unexpected request. "Kevin, isn't this... I thought you didn't want me and Henry to separate. Why are you suggesting this?" "Because Dad doesn't care about your feelings anymore. I don't want you to endure his betrayal. If Dad has chosen another woman, why can't you be with someone who makes you happy? I just want to see you happy." Regina hugged Kevin tightly. "Kevin, thank you for thinking about me. I'll try to meet someone else, and I promise he will treat you even better than Henry did." Kevin's small arms hugged her back. "You don't need to worry about me, Mom. As long as you find someone you love, I'm okay with whoever it is." Regina smiled and gently brushed Kevin's hair. "Now, let's get you to bed." Kevin nodded and quickly climbed into bed. Regina lay down beside him. Despite her efforts to sle

Regina clenched her fist as she looked at the photo circulating on the internet. Even though it had been a while, she could still recognize the woman's face. "So, they're back together?"Her phone was swiftly snatched by Rey. "No need to dwell on gossip that distracts you from your work. If you can't concentrate, you might as well not work at all. Luckily, I'm still giving you the chance to work in a leadership position.""I know. I just happened to see the photo." Regina typed something back.Rey placed Regina's phone down. "Should I get rid of that woman? Henry seems happier with her than with you."Regina took a deep breath, trying to calm herself from the onslaught of emotions. "There's no need, Brother. I don't want to meddle in his personal affairs."Rey sneered at her, "Didn't you defy Dad to marry him, and you were so stubborn about refusing to cooperate with me and Dad just because of that man. Has your love faded now?""I don't want to discuss it. Don't you have a client mee

"Regina will be the CEO of the company, replacing me!" Mr. Tan asserted. "Regina, could you say something to our colleagues?"Regina averted her gaze. She tried to calm her feelings and thoughts. However, a loud voice suddenly erupted. "I didn't give you permission!"The man, none other than Henry, immediately stepped onto the stage and grabbed Regina's hand. "Come with me!"Rey quickly restrained Henry's hand. "Just because you're her husband, does that give you the right to dictate what Regina does?"Henry glared at the man. "You're just an outsider, better stay out of this!""Outsider?" Rey smirked bitterly. "I'm her brother. I have every right to defend my sister.""That's enough!" Mr. Tan halted the debate between the two men. "Henry Jian, release your grip on my daughter."Henry chuckled instead. "Now you're calling her your daughter just because she obeys you? Have you forgotten how you mistreated her?""Don't speak out of turn. I could have security drag you out for causing a

"Ma'am, where are you headed?" the real estate agent halted Regina."I'm no longer renting this place!" Regina quickly dashed away.The agent reached for her phone. "Sir, the lady has fled. I've successfully deceived her," a sly smile etched on the woman's lips.***Regina struggled to open her car door, her trembling body making it difficult. Something called out to her from behind. Nervously, Regina turned around."You? What are you doing here?" Regina was surprised to see Henry.Instead of answering, Henry mocked her. "Are you so broke that you're looking at this run-down apartmen? You won't find a decent home."Regina began to realize something.

"You're leaving? Where could you possibly go? It's not easy to find a place on short notice," Regina scoffed."That's my concern!" Regina stormed out, not needing to pack anything since everything belonged to Henry.As she passed through the hallway, she ran into her assistant, who sneered, "Foolish woman, you walked right into their trap."Regina spun around. Her assistant turned to face her with a condescending smile. "You! Are you conspiring with them? If Henry finds out, then you--""Mrs. Regina, you should worry about yourself before threatening me. I'm not as naive as you, falling so easily into this game!" Her assistant turned away.

We're leaving this house now."Kevin looked confused. "Mom, why do we have to leave? And where's Dad?""Forget about your father. It's better if we cut

Henry clenched his fists as he watched the video. "Damn it, what kind of game is this? Could someone inside the company be involved?" "I believe so. CEO Jian, actually Mr. Jian, contacted me and said that if you want to know who's behind this, you need to meet him." Henry paused for a moment. "Alright, arrange a meeting with Papa immediately!" His assistant pulled the car over to a safe spot and began sending a message to Mr. Jian. *** "So, Henry. Didn't I warn you that bringing that woman into the company would only lead to losses?" Mr. Jian sneered at his son who had just arrived. Henry calmly pulled out a chair. "Did you call me here just to blame Regina? This might not be her fault; for all we know, you could be involved." Mr. Jian stared sharply at him. "Are you accusing your own father? After you watch this recording, will you still trust your wife?" "Is this edited?" Henry refused to believe it.

“Absolutely, I’m sure!” Regina answered firmly. CEO Smith eyed her for a moment, then gave a short nod. “Alright, I’ll give you one week. But remember, if you fail, keep your promise!” Regina nodded, reaffirming her decision. “Thank you for this opportunity. We won’t let you down.” Once the meeting concluded, Regina and her assistant exited the conference room. CEO Smith then reached for his phone. “Hello, CEO Jian…” *** Regina began working tirelessly.
