Chasing After My Beloved Wife novel Chapter 40

Joye's expression suddenly turned serious. "Linda, please ask the finance department to sort out the data. If Leonard Group leaves Richard Group now, can it run smoothly?"

Linda was confused. "President Leonard, why would Leonard Group leave Richard Group?"

"Because Leonard Group and Richard Group are owned by the Leonards and the Richards respectively."

Joye did not wish for Leonard Group to rely on the Richard family to survive. More importantly, she did not want to remain entangled with Shawn after the divorce.

"I see. I'll inform the finance department and give you the data as soon as possible."

Although Linda still refused to accept the news, her execution ability had always been excellent. She sighed. “Leonard Group was the most important thing to Miss. Leonard right now. It must have been a difficult decision for her to decide to leave Richard Group.”

After Linda left, Joye leaned against the chair in exhaustion. There were still ten days left until the one-month deadline!

She whispered, “When the day comes, Shawn and I will become complete strangers…”

……

Meanwhile, in Richard Group’s office building.

Shawn sat cross-legged on the sofa, fiddling with a soft strand of hair between his fingers. His brows knitted into a tight frown from the struggle inside his heart.

Salmon knocked on the door and came in. When he noticed Shawn’s worried state, he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Richard, are you in a dilemma?"

"No, I was just wondering about the outcome."

Shawn finally raised his head, a complicated expression flashing across his beautiful eyes. If Dalton was truly his biological son, should he go through with the divorce?

"Then what's the outcome you're expecting?"

Salmon felt a little regretful asking the question. He thought he should not have asked about the private affairs of his boss. He could sense that Joye held a unique place in Shawn's heart. It was just that Vivian and Dalton’s appearance had made everything complicated.

"My expectations? Send this to the lab and hand me the results as soon as possible."

Shawn pursed his thin lips and handed Salmon the strand of hair. He did not know what kind of outcome to expect either.

"Don't let others find out."

"Sure. You may rest assured."

Salmon nodded and put away the hair, then turned to leave the office. Meanwhile, Shawn stared motionlessly at the cold cup of coffee on his desk.

"Joye, tell me, what kind of outcome should I expect?"

Salmon came out of Richard Group’s office building, then got in the car and drove toward the hospital. Just then, a taxi tailed behind him at a distance.

"Sir, please don’t lose that car."

Vivian sat in the back row of the taxi with a gentle smile on her face, but something was beginning to form in her heart.

Vivian had always hoped that Shawn would not do a DNA test and keep trusting her as before. But apparently, she had overestimated herself.

When she saw Salmon arrive at the parking lot of the hospital, she took out a hundred-dollar note from her wallet. "Thank you for your hard work. Keep the change."
