He Gave Her Strawberries, Gave Me Hives (Ford and Sylvia) novel Chapter 111

Chapter 14

Chapter 14

The “high–maintenance” ex–wife he had once cast aside like a worn–out shoe had, over nine years, become a part of his very flesh and blood.

Her pride, her talent, her dependence, even her petty tantrums, had all become an indispensable part of his life.

And the so–called “gentle and virtuous” woman he had chosen after pushing her away was nothing more than a

self–deceiving fantasy.

Now the dream was over, leaving only a boundless emptiness and regret.

But it was all too late.

The Stella whose heart and eyes had once been filled with only him had been killed by his own hands in that fire.

All that was left was a soulless, zombie–like Felix, trapped in a cage of his own making, destined to chew on this belated, soul–crushing pain for the rest of his life.

Time did not heal the emptiness in Felix’s heart, instead, it allowed his belated regret and sense of loss to ferment into something even more bitter.

His life with Hazel did not turn out to be the warm and peaceful existence he had initially imagined. Instead, it increasingly revealed irreconcilable conflicts and unpleasantness.

After giving birth to their son, Hazel, apparently feeling her position was secure, became increasingly greedy and short–sighted.

She was no longer satisfied with a life of luxury and began using her son’s status as a Vance heir to constantly demand huge sums of money, company shares, and even repeatedly interfered with company staffing, trying to place her lazy and incompetent relatives in important departments.

“Felix, my cousin is a really honest guy, do you think you could make him a deputy manager in the finance department?”

“My niece just graduated and wants to get some experience in the marketing department, just put in a good word for her!”

“Our son is the future heir of the Vance family, what’s wrong with acquiring more assets for him now? Are you planning on leaving them to outsiders?”

44.5%

These unreasonable demands sparked strong dissatisfaction among the company’s senior members and core executives, who tactfully raised objections to Felix in several meetings.

Felix, thoroughly annoyed, finally warned her coldly when Hazel proposed making a distant cousin a branch manager. “Hazel, the company is not a playground! We have strict systems and standards for hiring! Just be content with taking care of the child and stop interfering in company matters!”

Hazel was stunned at first, then her eyes reddened and tears welled up as she accused him tearfully. “Telix! You’re yelling at me?! Who am I doing this for? Isn’t it to secure a future for me and our son! Is it because… is it because you’re still thinking about Stella Winter?! Is that why you can’t stand the sight of us?!”

The name “Stella Winter“, like a poison dart, pierced Felix’s already agitated heart.

He slammed his hand on the table and roared, “Shut up! You are not to mention her again! How many times have I told you, company business is not your concern!”

Seeing Felix’s dark expression, Hazel fell silent, but her eyes were filled with resentment and malice.

What was even more embarrassing for Felix were family occasions.

The Vance family held its annual family banquet, inviting many respected elders and important business partners.
