Winning her back after divorce (Divorce anxiety) novel Chapter 334

Chapter 334 Put The Blame On Someone Else
“Baseless?” Raymond sneered. “I heard that someone called Gizem, who works under you, has stirred quite a commotion lately.”
Theodore’s cloudy eyes turned cold. “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
“Fine,” Raymond responded nonchalantly. “Allow me to clarify. Gizem has been causing a lot of trouble on my turf. I hope you can provide me with an explanation, Old Mr. Hoover.”
He added calmly, “By the way, I heard that you once used the name Windwell as the code for an organization, and that was the organization that took Kathleen away.”
“Haha, where did you hear that? That’s so dubious!” Theodore exclaimed.
“Since you don’t want to admit it, there’s nothing I can do,” Raymond stated. “Please resolve the conflict that your people started on my turf.”
Theodore frowned. “Gizem hasn’t been around recently. She went back. How could she have stirred up trouble on your turf?”
Raymond burst into laughter and proceeded to mock Theodore some more. “You’re really getting old, seeing as to how you won’t even admit to something like this. Since you know you’re no longer capable, you should make way for a new leader quickly.”
“Where’s your proof?” Theodore expressed his displeasure.
Raymond chuckled cruelly. “I do have it. She was caught on surveillance cameras.”
Theodore raised his brows.
“Old Mr. Hoover, if you’re losing your touch, I suggest you step down. Don’t tell me you don’t have a single successor. I have many sons, and I don’t mind sparing you one if necessary,” Raymond taunted.
“Scram!” Theodore barked in anger.
He rarely lost his temper, but this time, Raymond really got to him.
Laughing all the way, Raymond left the place.
Nevertheless, he sent the images snapped by the surveillance cameras to Theodore.
When Theodore saw them, his hands trembled in anger.
He immediately contacted Lauren.
Right then, Lauren had resumed her original appearance, and she was enjoying the sun by the beach.
When she saw the caller ID, she had no desire to answer the call.
That old geezer! He trained me, yet he looks down on me! He discovered Kathleen’s capabilities, took her in as an apprentice, and made her into Gizem. He even intends for her to take over Axeworth Corporation. What am I to him?
However, Theodore was persistent.
Lauren knew she couldn’t have a falling out with Theodore for the time being.
In the end, she huffed and took the call.
“Master,” she said, her tone a respectful one.
“Was it you who launched a conflict with Blissful Sect under Gizem’s name lately?” Theodore interrogated.
“No,” Lauren lied through her teeth. “I’m taking a break at the beach right now. How would I have the time to do that?”
Theodore didn’t believe her. “It better not be you. If I find out who did it, I won’t forgive them!”
With that said, he hung up the phone.
Lauren snorted, “Old geezer! You still have the audacity to order me around! One of these days, I’ll make you kneel down before me and beg for mercy!”
Her anger intensified the more she thought about it.
Next, she dialed a number.
“It’s me,” she said coolly. “Your plan was a success. I’m sure Axeworth Corporation is in a mess right now. How are you doing, Nicolette?”
“Congratulations! We’re almost there!” Nicolette smiled cheekily. “I’m recovering just nicely.”
“Make every second count,” Lauren said in a grim tone. “I’m wary of unexpected changes.”
“What’s there to worry about? We have the upper hand here,” Nicolette responded in a low voice.
“I don’t want that old geezer to find out!” Lauren pursed her lips. “If he hadn’t intervened back then, I would’ve already killed Kathleen!”
Nicolette said calmly, “Lauren, he may be your master, but he never sees you as a potential successor. If I hadn’t overheard what he told the others, we would still be kept in the dark!”
Lauren replied huffily, “Either way, I can’t wait any longer!”
“Then let’s start something else.” Nicolette flashed a half-smile. “You want to get rid of that old man, and I want to teach somebody a lesson.”
Lauren raised her brow. “Yareli?”
“Ha!” Nicolette sneered, “I won’t forgive those people who took everything from me!”
Hearing that, Lauren smirked smugly.
She knew she had made the right bet.
The next day, Gizem decided to get discharged.
She didn’t like staying in the ward.
She might be a doctor, but she didn’t like it there at all.
While she was on her way to process the discharge procedures, she bumped into Samuel unexpectedly.
“Where are you going in such a rush?” Samuel asked with a slight frown.
“I want to get discharged,” Gizem replied. “I can recover at home.”
“Are you sure?”
“I’m a doctor. Of course I’m sure.” Gizem gave a firm reply.
Samuel remained aloof. “What’s this feud with Yareli?”
He had heard about it just now.
Gizem explained, “She started it. She came to my ward to provoke me. I had no reason to be nice to her.”
Samuel scowled. “And you don’t mind getting yourself into trouble?”
“Aren’t you suspecting that I’m somehow connected to Axeworth Corporation? Wouldn’t it be natural for me to have a backing?” Gizem said sarcastically.
Samuel’s solemn tone sounded frosty as he spoke. “Once you see what I have, you probably won’t be so smug.”
“What is it?” Gizem asked.
Samuel handed her the file he had been holding.
When she flipped through it, her expression darkened. “Is this true?”
“Do I have a reason to set you up?” Samuel said, his arms crossed.
Damn it! Someone’s been masquerading as me to stir trouble! And Samuel found out about it! Gizem thought.
“I suggest you get Axeworth Corporation to resolve this,” he mocked dryly.
“None of your business!” Gizem exclaimed angrily.
“I asked the doctor just now. You have to stay for two more days,” Samuel went on, as cold as ever. “Just be good and stay put in the hospital.”
After that, he turned and left.
Gizem turned around, too. She returned to the ward and got back to her bed.
She picked up her phone, intending to call Theodore.
However, she thought about it carefully and put her phone down.
She had told Theodore many times, but he basically did nothing.
Could he be behind this?
Gizem had always known that Theodore could be quite unpredictable.
She wondered what he was up to this time.
Since Samuel knew about it, there was no reason why Theodore couldn’t have known.
Yet, he never called.
Perhaps he’s dealing with pests of his own? Never mind, I’ll talk to him another time.
At night, when Gizem was about to sleep, she saw a dark figure flash past the glass on the door.
She frowned.
The next second, the shadow flashed by again.
“Come in,” Gizem summoned.
The door opened, and a woman walked in.
There was a smile on her doll-like face, but her eyes were frosty and hostile.
“You’re hurt,” she uttered, raising a brow.
Gizem glared coldly at her. “Accidents happen. What do you want, Freya?”
