The Unexpected Marriage novel Chapter 16

She couldn't find anywhere in the city that she could live a peaceful life. After a brief moment of frustration, she rolled up her sleeves and picked up her resume to look for a job.

"Please wait for a moment." The girl at the front desk politely called someone. Then she nodded at Joan and led her to a small meeting room to wait. She poured a cup of tea for Joan politely. Compared to the previous few companies, this one was kind to employees, Joan was full of fondness.

In this way, their boss must be excellent too. She might succeed this time.

Feeling bored, she began to browse the works displayed on the bookshelf. She also felt familiar with the name of the company's owner, but she couldn't remember where she had seen the name.

While she was thinking about this, the door of the meeting room was pushed open and a man, who was about her father's age, walked in. Joan stood up to greet him, and was suddenly touched by a pair of big hands. "Joan, it's you You were released? "

"You are Uncle Fred?" The old man had become the major shareholder of the Gu Company when it was prospering. He was the best among shareholders. Occasionally, he would come to her house to have tea with her father.

Since the Gu Company was closed, Fred must have had a hard time for a long time. Fortunately, he had his own company now. Joan thought, 'Maybe this is what good people get.'

"Joan, are you looking for a job?" He asked.

"Yes, Uncle Fred." Joan smiled, "I'm back."

Speaking of this, she sighed softly. "I'm back, but dad is gone, Gu Company is gone, and I'm divorced. It seems that the whole world abandoned me."

Fred's face darkened as he stood up and closed the office door. He was old, and he wasn't as daring and timid as he was when he was young. But right now, Joan, who used to be fearless, had been put in a desperate situation and tried so hard. He couldn't think how many difficulties she had met.

Thinking of the past, he said mysteriously and seriously, "Joan, be careful of your ex-husband."

'Scott?' Hearing Fred's words, Joan asked, trying to compose herself.

"Joan, you know, the bankruptcy of the Gu Company wasn't an accident. There were some minor issues concerning the stocks before, but it didn't cause the whole company to collapse. When I was involved in my own business, I heard that Scott looked anxious and sad after you were sent to prison, but he was the most happy one to split the company up."

Joan, take care of yourself.

Before losing her consciousness, Joan heard this sentence.

And the receptionist at Uncle Fred's company, who gave her a very good impression, was scared. She thought that she was so tired recently that she hadn't experienced a kind of relaxation since she was released.

After opening her eyes again, Joan found that the sky was full of white, such as the white bed sheet, the white pillow and the white ceiling. The dull pain on the back of her hand was so cold that she shrank a little, trying to look for the source of the pain. Her hand was covered by gauze, and the thin straw seemed to inject medicine into her body.

As soon as she moved her lips, the harsh pain pulled at her nerves. She could imagine that her lips must have been cracked, and the salty and bloody smell had spread all over her mouth.
