All Chapters of After Divorce, I Return As CEO : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

“I heard Mr. Ødegaar just got a divorce, but from the looks of it, he looks like a happy man. Seems his heart truly laid with her.” Someone said.“Ah, I envy Evangeline, but I also know she’s the perfect fit for Mr. Ødegaar. An A-lister actress and the city’s top billionaire. What a perfect fit!” Another squealed.“I’m sure they’re together, after all, Mr. Ødegaar has never brought anyone to these types of events. Not even his so called ex wife. If I were her, I would be ashamed.” Added another.This one has caught Gadreel’s attention and although his expression remained neutral, the corners of his eyes twitched.Ashamed? Those words seemed to bother him for some reason as Ivory’s face- against his will- flashed in his mind.Evangeline however, was the least but bothered. The more she listened to them, the more Evangeline knew her worth in Gadreel’s life.And she could have carried on listening and feeling this way, if not for the sudden shift in top.“Huh, who’s she?” Someone asked a

“The rules were set by Arnett herself, so, please if you have an issue with it, you’re welcome to keep quiet, because your opinion won’t change a thing.”Lucien’s words had silenced the room, but in a different way and so had his presence.It didn’t take people long to recognize who he was. A great doctor by name and a miracle worker in the Operation Room and on top that, rumors has been going round that he was the representative of Arnett.The very person who was said to have Created the Essence Of Oblivion.Immediately, all their reasoning changed and they began looking at the matter differently.“So it was really her who evoked the rule, not the new CEO.” One whispered.“That makes sense. Arnett must have thought this through.” Another added.Finally one of the bidders said something that sparked the interest and competitive spirit off all.“If the Essence of

The question remained on Gadreel's mind, even as he walked back to the room with the fruit basket.All these years, all the years during their marriage, Ivory had done nothing but studied on his behalf.Although he was now the top business man in the country, Gadreel had once studied medicine and he knew through first hand experience that it wasn't an easy journey.So for someone like Ivory, who had dropped out of school with no degree to do something like that, while caring for his physical health, it was... admirable?That thought didn't seat well with the rest of the thoughts he had about Ivory. After all, he was convinced after what he had seen in the bathroom back at the auction that she wasn't the angel his grandmother had made her out to be.Gosh, the more he thought about it, the more it seemed to give him a headache.All at once, Gadreel decided to discard the thought, pushing them to the back of his mind as he reached his grandmoth

Two days had peacefully passed since the auction event. In those two days, Elixiron had been approached by several investors who wanted to work with them, in hopes of getting in Arnett’s good books, as well as getting in contact with her.Ivory was impressed and overjoyed by the outcome. Her days were busy and fruitful and she believed nothing or no one could ruin her wonderful time.That was until she got a call from her father. The moment she witnessed his call, her entire expression crumbled into annoyance and all at once, she rejected his call and permanently blocked his number.Something she should have done a long time ago, she told herself as she stepped out of the elevator as the doors slid open and began thinking of the pleasures she should treat herself to at lunch.Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her and she was surprised to see that it was her father.“Ivory,” Lionel called out, but something about him was different. “How have you been child?”Ivory frowned at this

The first thing that came to Ivory’s mind was to fight the person in front of her.She swung her fist in the air, intending to fight off who she believed would be an attacker, obviously sent by Samantha or Lionel with intention of making the best of the aphrodisiac incense that has been lit.But the very next second, her wrists were caught and the man in front of her stared down at her with a confused frown, while she stared back at him with surprise, as well as a hint of relief.“Gadreel?” She hissed. “What are you doing here?”A good question. What was he doing here? Gadreel couldn’t help but wonder. He wanted to talk to her all night, question her, but what about, he couldn’t quite find the answer to that.Just as he opened his mouth to respond however, the sound of footsteps approaching reached their ears. Ivory’s eyes widened and upon recognizing one of the voices, she was quick to act: pulling Gadreel along with her as she hid behind one of the long curtains and placed her hand
