What She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 659

As time marched on, the two-year deadline was rapidly approaching.

Finnian had been suffering from terrible insomnia lately, a permanent knot of anxiety resting between his brows.

Under Kaia's leadership over the past two years, Aethelstan's projects had progressed flawlessly, and company morale was at an all-time high.

No one else knew about the strict two-year timeline written into her divorce agreement.

On the day Kaia formally submitted her resignation,

the entire conglomerate was thrown into an absolute uproar.

Everyone was talking about it relentlessly.

Under her brilliant direction, Aethelstan had gone from a struggling merger to the ultimate industry benchmark.

The bold promises she had made during the launch had all been triumphantly fulfilled.

In just two short years, three projects had received IND approval, two had entered Phase II clinical trials, and they had even secured highly coveted international patents.

Upon hearing the news, the board of directors was furious. How could they let such an extraordinary talent slip away?

They practically broke down Finnian's door, demanding answers.

Corporate headhunters swarmed instantly, while industry giants offered her astronomical salaries, treating her recruitment like a high-stakes bidding war.

Kaia answered countless calls from executive recruiters.

She politely declined every single one.

She had her own plans. She intended to join the national research institute, dedicate more time to her practice at the Holistic Wellness Center, and accept a guest professorship at a prestigious university.

Finnian had been hounded by the board for days on end.

He sat at his desk, staring blankly at the resignation letter.

Dexter placed a stack of documents on the desk. Seeing his boss's paralyzed expression, he didn't dare say a word and quickly left the room.

Finnian picked up the resignation letter, reading it over and over again.

The applicant's name read: Kaia Chavez.

It felt like he was trapped in a nightmare. He used to think a scenario like this was impossible in the waking world.

Her fierce passion for her work, her deep sense of belonging to the company, her unwavering trust in him...

No, there was no trust left. He had completely shattered her heart; she would never believe in him again.

He reached out, picked up his desk phone, and dialed her extension.
