The Wife He Forgot to Marry (Winona and Yule) novel Chapter 785

Tallulah had already worked late countless nights due to this mysterious investor's ever-changing demands. Frustrated, she finally asked, "Who exactly is this investor? He has so many ridiculous requirements, and Mr. White just goes along with all of them?"

Her colleague sighed, her tone dripping with envy. "The investor is Stefan Goddard, CEO of Goddard Group. I heard he's funding this entire project specifically for his pregnant partner. Because he's throwing an obscene amount of money at us, Mr. White ordered us to jump every time he says jump, no matter how many times we have to revise the formula. But hey, the bonus for this project is massive, so we're not exactly suffering."

Tallulah froze as the words hit her.

Stefan Goddard had funded this project for Winona?

She had been working herself to the bone, pulling all-nighters and sweating over microscopes... all for Winona's benefit?

A suffocating wave of humiliation crashed over her, leaving her trembling with rage.

She wanted to throw the files on the floor and storm out, but she couldn't.

She had begged for this job. She had clawed her way up from an assistant to a researcher. As long as this project succeeded, she would earn a promotion.

Only by proving her worth here could she ever hope to leverage her way back into the R&D department at Locke Group.

She couldn't afford to be impulsive. She couldn't let all her suffering and patience go to waste.

But the thought of dedicating her blood, sweat, and tears to a supplement designed for Winona made her physically ill.

She truly didn't understand it. If Stefan loved Winona so much that he was funding bespoke medical research for her, why hadn't he married her?

Thinking about how Stefan constantly flew back and forth between the Capital City and Riverton just to see her, a wild theory sparked in Tallulah's mind.

Could it be that Stefan was actually the one doing all the chasing? The one who loved deeper and harder?

Was it possible that Winona was the one refusing to get married?

The moment that thought took root, her face twisted with a volatile mix of fury, jealousy, and deep-seated resentment.

Why did Winona get to have such a blessed life?

Yulen spent his days at the office in a complete daze.
