Jilted Ex-wife Billionaire Heiress novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122 Close Call

Darya looked up.

The man who saved her happened to be none other than Micah.

Stunned, Darya realised that Micah’s arms enveloped her, radiating comforting warmth.

Uncharacteristically, his usually serene eyes displayed hints of anxiety and panic.

Darya even caught a glimpse of her own reflection in his intense gaze,

‘Are you hurt?‘ Micah asked in a husky voice.

Shaking off her daze, Darya extricated herself from Micah’s embrace and rose to her feet. ‘No, I’m fine. Thanks.

Micah picked himself up, dusted off his suit and scanned the direction in which the car had disappeared, his forehead creased with concern.

Curiosity gnawed at Darya–why would Micah show up at the Paragon Group so early in the morning?

Perplexed, Darya asked, ‘What are you doing here?‘

Micah turned towards her, meeting her eyes. ‘I’m here to offer apologies on behalf of the Cavanaughs. I’ve also arranged for a formal apology letter to be released soon.‘

Darya stood there, dumbfounded.

The Cavanaughs were actually relenting this time?

‘The letter will be posted on Zenith’s corporate account at noon,‘ Micah quickly added, as if to convince her of

the truth of his words.

‘An apology from your whole family?‘ Darya asked, still incredulous.

‘Yes.‘

‘Including your father?”

‘Yes.‘

‘Wow. I never expected Morton to have the guts to apologise.‘ Darya was amazed. ‘Well, I’m off to work. I

suppose you should get going too. Again, thanks for what you did just now. You probably saved my life.”

With that, Darya spun on her heels and headed off, leaving Micah behind.

‘Wait!‘ Micah called out after her.

Darya halted in her tracks but didn’t bother turning around.

‘There might be something fishy about the car that almost hit you just now. Be careful.‘

Micah’s heart still pounding from the close call.

He had witnessed the incident unfold as soon as he stepped out of his own car.

The fear that lingered in his chest was palpable.

If he hadn’t been there, Darya would likely have been struck by the car.

Taken aback, Darya said, ‘Thank you for letting me know.”

She would get someone to look into it.

At twelve o’clock on the dot, while the online community was still buzzing about the news of Darya’s true identity, they received another shock.

An apology letter, bearing the name and corporate seal of Zenith, was posted on all of the company’s official social media accounts.

The letter aimed primarily to debunk the false rumours circulating online about Darya

Additionally, in Micah’s personal capacity, he apologised for neglecting their marriage and Darya’s well–being

Once again, the internet erupted with discussions:

‘It’s like a drama in real life. All those plot twists! What’s next?‘

‘Tsk! I used to have a crush on Micah Cavanaugh! But now I realise all men are the same!‘

“So, did they mistreat her or not?‘

‘Well, it’s an indirect admission. Darya was brave to ask for a divorce. I’ve been a fan of hers ever since she unmasked the mistress. You go, girl!‘

Meanwhile, inside a swanky conference room at the Paragon Group, all eyes were fixed on the person occupying

the top seat.

Avery, seated to her left, began the meeting by introducing Darya as his successor as well as the new CEO.

The board of directors voted her in unanimously–not that any objection would have been useful.

No one in that room had a fraction of the shares Darya possessed.

Conspicuous by his absence was the former director Douglas Kay, who was kicked out after Avery returned from

his last business trip.

The rest of the board members were secretly relieved that they didn’t go along with Douglas’s hare–brained

scheme to purge Darya.

If they had, they wouldn’t be sitting pretty here today.

They applauded enthusiastically as Darya gave her inauguration speech, then offered their heartfelt congratulations.

As she exited the conference room, Glen, her capable assistant, approached with a tablet in hand. ‘Miss McAllister-

‘Just Darya or boss will do.‘

‘Boss, Zenith has just issued an apology letter.”

Darya arched an eyebrow.

That was quick!

She reckoned old man Morton would drag his feet for at least a while before he caved.

As she skimmed the letter, she couldn’t help but let out a light chuckle.

Now, that was a masterstroke of an apology.

In just a few carefully crafted sentences, they debunked the rumours swirling around her and gave an official verdict on her marriage, and managed to do it in a way that was devoid of warmth or sentimentality.
