Sleeping With the Wrong Man: Uncle vs. Nephew novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Wren said, “Lia, you’re so talented. You’ll surely become a top-tier lawyer once you leave Young Corporation! I wish you all the best in your future endeavors!”

Liana raised an eyebrow but remained silent.

Just then, her phone rang.

The screen lit up with the name-Logan.

Liana’s brows knitted slightly. Before swiping to answer, she told Wren, “Go on, get back to

work.”

“Alright! Thanks, Lia! I’ll definitely treat you to a big meal another day!” Wren waved gratefully and hurried off, clutching the contract

Liana finally brought the phone to her ear. The moment she answered, Logan’s voice crashed over her like a tidal wave-sharp, hostile, and full of accusations.

“Liana, you finally picked up? Took you long enough!”

Liana’s expression darkened, but she stayed silent.

Clearly still fuming, Logan continued yelling from the other end. “There’s a huge problem at the company! They’re demanding five million dollars in damages! What kind of legal officer are you if this still isn’t resolved?”

He had barely finished settling Olivia when his assistant called with news of a major crisis.

Listening to his self-righteous scolding, Liana laughed in disbelief. “Mr. Young, your company isn’t short on lawyers. So why is it that whenever something goes wrong, you always come running to me?”

For three years, no matter the issue, Logan’s first call had always been to her.

Back then, she had been naive, thinking it meant he valued her and was dependent on her; she had secretly felt a little flattered.

Now she saw the truth. It was blatant exploitation-free labor, on call 24/7, without any

overtime pay.

On the other end of the line, Logan was clearly taken aback. Liana had always obeyed him without question. Now she was challenging him?

His tone dropped, dripping with contempt. “You still have the nerve to ask? Look at what you usually do at the company. Besides organizing documents and serving tea, what else do you

do?

“Assigning you to handle this minor issue was already giving you too much credit!

“I can see you’re not doing your job properly, and your mind isn’t even on the company. You might as well quit!

“Get home immediately and take care of Lia!”

In his eyes, her greatest value was simply to be an obedient housewife.

Liana couldn’t help but laugh at the sheer shamelessness of it all.

“Logan, stop daydreaming and just sign the divorce agreement.”

The moment the words left her mouth, she braced for Logan to start yelling insults as usual. However, a few seconds of silence stretched across the line before the call abruptly ended.

Staring at the disconnected call, Liana’s expression turned icy.

Olivia had already returned, hadn’t she?

His first love was back at his side. Why wouldn’t he finalize the divorce?

Keeping her offered him no advantage at all.

She didn’t understand it, and frankly, she didn’t care.

After finishing the last of her work, Liana picked up her small cardboard box and cast one final glance at the place where she had poured three years of effort. Then, she turned toward the elevator.

But the moment the doors slid open, she nearly collided with a group of people stepping out.

At the front was Logan, the very man who had just hung up on her. His face was as dark as thunder.

Behind him stood several middle-aged men in suits, all of whom were founding shareholders of Young Corporation.

Seeing Liana holding her box as if she were about to leave the company, a flash of fury shot through Logan.

He stepped forward and questioned, “Where do you think you’re going with that during work hours?”

Employees passing by shot curious glances, whispering in hushed tones.

Liana flicked her eyes toward the shareholders behind Logan, a faint smirk tugging at the corner of her lips.

The shareholders exchanged bewildered looks.

What was going on?

Was Liana quitting?

She met Logan’s gaze. “Mr. Young, are you seriously going to discuss my whereabouts here?”

He had always kept their marriage under wraps, terrified that anyone might discover their relationship.

Apart from a few top executives, no one in the company knew she was the boss’ wife.

Logan was momentarily taken aback, caught off guard by her audacity. He narrowed his eyes, lowering his voice into a warning. “Liana, don’t push your luck!”

“Mr. Young, I’m just letting you know that I’ve already resigned,” Liana said, waving the copy of her resignation letter with a casual, effortless smile. From now on, I no longer answer to you.”

“Resigned?” Logan assumed this was just another one of her tantrums. “Did I approve this? Who gave you the nerve to resign?”

Liana let out a scoff, her expression one of amused disdain, as if looking at a ridiculous clown.

Seeing that her reaction wasn’t feigned, Logan frowned and snapped at his assistant. “Get the HR manager here immediately!”

The HR manager quickly jogged over.

“Mr. Young, you called for me?”

“Did you approve Liana’s resignation?” Logan demanded, pointing at him.

The HR manager glanced at Liana, then back at Logan, clearly puzzled. He finally nodded and said, “Y-yes… She said she wanted to resign, so I processed it according to procedure.”

It was just a low-level employee leaving-there was no need to involve the CEO. He wondered what had gotten into Logan.

Logan’s expression stiffened as he turned to look at Liana.

She had really resigned.

A sudden, inexplicable panic surged through him striking without warning.

It lasted only a fleeting moment, so brief it was almost imperceptible.

Liana couldn’t truly leave.
