After divorce I am a billionaire novel Chapter 1124

Chapter 1124 That's My Wife, You Have No Chance

"Of course I remember," Mavis said, feeling uncomfortable as she thought about those events. She remained silent for a moment.

Zack sighed again and explained to her, "During that time, the board of directors kept pressuring Mr. Callahan. He was worried that you would be hurt again, so he had you submit your resignation letter and temporarily leave Callahan Group."

"The evidence U-disk that you gave to Mr. Callahan was not accepted because we had already found that evidence. We didn't say anything because we were afraid of tipping off the culprit. After you left Callahan Group, Mr. Callahan finally felt at ease investigating the mole within the company and discovered it was Jaqueline who stole the files. He cleared your name throughout Callahan Group and even wanted you to come back to work there, but at that time you had quietly left Crana. Mr. Callahan looked for you for a long time and even became depressed for a while because of it."

"He actually always liked you but just didn't realize it himself. I've been with him by his side for the longest time and seen him interact with Jaqueline often enough to know he never crossed any lines with her."

Zack went on at length explaining everything.

Mavis furrowed her eyebrows slightly as she listened silently.

So Zack's point was that Anthony wasn't favoring Jaqueline intentionally or trying to make Mavis take the blame; rather he did it all in order to protect her?

Mavis couldn't quite describe how she felt inside. Her expression seemed somewhat complex.

Zack noticed there wasn't any emotional response on Mavis' face and asked hesitantly, "You don't believe what I'm saying?"

He immediately raised three fingers in front of her, "I swear this is all true! This incident really happened! There's absolutely no intentional bias towards Mr. Callahan!"

"I don't mean that I don't believe what you're saying. I trust you," Mavis replied softly while lowering her eyelashes looking calm, "Did he ask you specifically to tell me this today?"

Zack froze up.

Didn't Mr. Callahan say before Mrs. Callahan didn't like using her brain much? How could Mrs. Callahan guess so quickly?

"Um... please don't misunderstand me... I... this matter..." Zack tried hard to explain himself but Mavis couldn't bear watching anymore,

"You don't have to explain anything more. I understand everything now."

Zack looked puzzled. "What do you understand?"

"With Anthony's proud personality, he couldn't bring himself to say these words to clear his name, so he used your mouth to tell me."

Mrs. Callahan was not one to lack intelligence and her mind quickly caught on.

"He knows how he feels about Jaqueline, and I know it even better. Even though they never did anything out of line with each other, we both saw how protective he was of her. He likes Jaqueline, I know that much. But I don't care anymore."

Zack hesitated before speaking again, "You've misunderstood once again. In the five years since you left, Mr. Callahan has never seen her again and she committed suicide over two months ago."

"What?" Mavis was shocked and incredulous, "She committed suicide? Why would she do that?"

"She was Sheldon's adopted daughter but there were some complicated feelings between them as well as between her and Mr. Callahan. She liked him but Sheldon had a grudge against the Callahan family so she didn't have an easy time under his care for all those years. Maybe it became too much for her to bear so she ended her own life."

Mavis remained lost in thought long after getting into the car back to Green Grove Apartments.

Anthony hadn't seen Jaqueline in all these years nor did anything happen between him and Bryleigh.

Had Anthony really been living a pure life devoted solely to taking care of their son?

Knowing this news didn't make Mavis feel any easier. Instead, it weighed heavily on her heart especially with regards to Jacqueline's passing...
