With his lips tightly pursed into a straight line, Jimmy's gaze was cold as he smashed the information on the surface into pieces and threw it into the trash can.
After that, he sat in the chair and didn't say anything for a while, while he smoked silently.
The subordinate could not figure out what he was thinking. In fact, he wanted to ask something, but Jimmy's face was as cold as ice. However, he didn't dare to speak, so he just sat there, and didn't dare to move.
After a long time, Jimmy came to his senses when the cigarette was burnt out. When he saw his subordinate still sitting opposite him, he asked with a frown, "Why are you standing here? Don't you need to work?"
"Uh, I do."
"Then, get lost."
Obviously, he was in a bad mood, so how could his subordinate dare to provoke him? Immediately, he hurried out of the room.
When Jimmy was alone again in the office, he grabbed his phone and made a call. After a while, the call was connected, and the soft voice of a woman was heard, "Hello..."
"Where are you?"
At that moment, Jimmy directly interrupted her and asked.
"At home."
"Wait for me. I will be coming over now." After Jimmy finished his words, he dropped the call and got up to leave.
As soon as Anna finished preparing the last dish, the doorbell rang. Immediately, she put down the cutlery in her hand and went to open the door.
Then, Jimmy darted in.
"Jimmy, I've just finished preparing lunch. You haven't eaten lunch yet, right? Come over and have some. These are all your favorite dishes."
With a smile, Anna went to hold his arm, but unexpectedly, Jimmy shook her off. Coldly, he looked at her and said, "You went to meet Ariah?"
The strength he used to shake her off was a little too strong, and it caused Anna to be thrown onto the wall. The skin on her elbow was rubbed off, and she felt a heartwrenching pain. However, she did not deny it and nodded, "I went to meet her for a short while in the morning, and I left after a while." "Anna!" Furiously, he called her name. "Didn't I tell you not to look for her in the future? Are you deaf?"
Uncontrollably, Anna's body flinched as she looked at him timidly and said, "Jimmy, don't scold me."
When Jimmy saw her pale face, he took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "Tell me, why did you go and find her?"
"Tell me."
"I went to help you with the divorce. I couldn't stand seeing you in such pain, so I went to her and asked her to divorce you, so that you both can be liberated."
At that moment, Jimmy was furious. The muscles on his face were trembling.
"Who asked you to go find her and talk to her like that? Do you really think that I dare not do anything to you?"
The thing was, Ariah had always hated him bitterly. Although she had long known that there was something between him and Anna, she had been holding it in and acted as if nothing had happened. It was only when Anna came looking for her that her emotions completely collapsed.
In fact, Ariah hated Anna as much as she hated him.
Now, Anna had actually gone to the hospital to say those words to Ariah, wasn't that the same as stabbing her in the heart?
However, Jimmy rarely had such a bad temper with Anna. At that moment, she was so scared that she froze on the spot, as her lips trembled and she couldn't speak.
At that moment, Sharon pursed her lips. "If Jimmy still has feelings for Ariah, why did he do things that would hurt her?"
However, Stanley looked forward, but he didn't say anything.
Although the intuition of women was always accurate, sometimes the intuition of men was quite good too. From Jimmy's expression when he found out about the relationship between Ariah and Ricco, Stanley knew that he still had feelings for Ariah.
Although Jimmy was a bit frivolous, he wasn't that wretched to be having an affair.
It made Stanley feel that something was amiss, but he couldn't seem to figure out what was off.
If he really loves Ariah, even if it was a mistake he made before they got married, he would definitely cut ties with the woman the moment he was sure about his feelings for Ariah.
If Stanley had the intention to investigate, he might be able to find some clues.
But he didn't want to do that. What happened between Jimmy and Ariah was a problem between them, and only the two could solve it. No matter how others persuaded, it wouldn't help much.
It was better for the doer to undo what he had done.
In fact, Sharon hadn't been home for several days. The moment she returned, she really felt that there was no place like home. After she took a comfortable bath, she dried her hair and came out of the bathroom. However, she heard Stanley's voice in the living room which was obviously lowered.
He was on the phone.
"As a businessman in the business world, it's better to not be soft-hearted if you want to get to the top. This time, we've managed to push Shawn to the edge, and we can easily put an end to him if we add more fuel to the fire. Don't let your guards down yet. By whatever means, we must throw him into the quagmire this time and make sure he won't be able to rise again..."
The sun in the afternoon was very warm, and it was such good weather. Meanwhile, the man in the living room sat on the sofa as the sunlight penetrated through the window and fell onto his body. With his brows lowered, he spoke nonchalantly as if he was reporting about the weather forecast, but his tone was extremely cold.
