My Husband Froze My Card on My Birthday novel Chapter 91

Chapter 6

Ethan’s expression darkened when I continued to ignore him. It had been a long time since he’d lowered himself like thi -softening his tone, putting on a show of compromise–only to be met with my silence.

But now, he didn’t dare lose his temper. Instead, he heaped my plate with all my favorite dishes and forced out a gentle

voice.

“Alright. Everyone enjoy your meal. When you’re done, head back to the office. I’ll let today’s little walkout slide

“And I’ll cancel the pay cuts too. That work for you?”

His hand landed on my shoulder–firm, deliberate.

It said: I’ve bent enough. Now quit embarrassing me.

He was waiting for me to yield, to throw him a bone so he could save face.

But I just smiled.

Around me, my team suppressed their laughter.

Then someone, voice light but pointed, said, “Mr. Foster, didn’t you know? We’ve already turned in our resignations You’re not our boss anymore.”

“So yeah… maybe stopping using us to threaten her. That trick’s dead.”

Ethan froze, clearly blindsided. He must’ve thought I was bluffing earlier–just trying to rattle him. It had never crossed his mind that we’d actually gone through with it.

Then something clicked. A cold sneer tugged at his lips.

“So you all banded together to play me?”

“There’s no way HR would approve that many resignations without running it by me first.”

“Enough games. Name your price–I’m not here to guess.”

Even now, he thought this was some power play. That I was holding him hostage with leverage.

It was laughable.

I kept eating without a word. Another teammate chuckled.

“Wow, Mr. Foster, Short–term memory loss already?”

This morning, HR called you when we turned in our resignations. You were watching a movie with Zoey, remember? Chapter 6
