Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 46

Chapter 46 No One Will Bully You Anymore

Back in the office, the assistant who came continued on with the report that he was doing in

the meeting room. He reported everything word for word and left nothing unsaid.

Everyone who was on-site during the incident was here, except for Eileen.

“…So that was all that happened, Mr. Jasper.”

Jasper nodded his head.

The assistant retreated behind him.

The atmosphere grew tense.

The three wives sat on the sofa, none of them dared to speak.

Jasper was an intimidating man. The air around him had a daunting aura, and everyone in the room could feel it. “I want to see the contract signed in half an hour.”

“Yes, President Smith.” Jasper’s new assistant, James Carver, replied.

From the moment Jasper stepped out of his house, he set his sights on taking back what was originally his.

Jasper could only be able to protect Eileen by doing that.

Everyone dared not say a word, because they did not know about the truth of the

company, and why Jasper was looking for them. They were only wives after all, they didn’t have a say in company affairs.

Then a soft voice broke the silence. “Mr. Jasper, I know I am not in any place to say anything about the company, but… I know you mean well, so why did you terminate the cooperation?”

“That’s none of your business.” Jasper muttered, and left the office.

The wheelchair he was on was a newly developed one from overseas. It could move automatically with just a press of a button.

It turned out that Jasper had a surgery in the hospital, but after knowing that Eileen was bullied. He rushed over as soon as he could

The door of the meeting room was still open. He went in to get closer to Eileen, but she had not noticed him yet.

“Why are you crying?” Jasper’s voice was surprisingly more delicate than before.

Eileen squeezed her nose, and the sound of her crying stopped immediately. Tears hung on her eyelashes, and her eyes were still wet. She was kneeling on the floor, and stared blankly at the person in front of her.

“What… What are you doing here?” Eileen answered with a hoarse voice, and rubbed the tears off her cheek with her sleeves, her nose still red.

She was the only one in the meeting room. The teachers had left, and Gavin was on a call somewhere.

“I was just passing by,” Jasper narrowed his eyes and saw the scar on her face. “Does it hurt?” he frowned.

Eileen bit her lips and nodded. Tears started falling from her eyes again. “It does.”

“Were

you wronged?” There was a hint of pity in Jasper’s voice.

She had felt a bit better after crying, but because of what Jasper just asked her, she felt even

worse.

There are so many grievances in two lifetimes.

Her teardrops crashed onto the floor.

Jasper was wearing a black button-up shirt and slacks. His sleeves were rolled up, exposing a green and mysterious tattoo that stretched all the way from his forearms, to the back of his palm and the tip of his fingers. He gently laid his tattooed arms on Eileen’s face, cold as they were, and wiped away her tears with his thumb.

Eileen could not take it anymore. She was not as strong as she thought she was.

She really envied Lany and the others. They could go back into their parents’ care and embrace when something went wrong.

But she had no one. Her mom passed away when she was young, and her father… He has not liked her since she was a kid. Even if he tried to care, it was not genuine….

And her brother… The brother that was not hers

She only had one person…

Gavin was actually on the phone with Ene

Eric had already sent Vera home. All of her things at school were already packed and ready to be taken home.

Vera had fallen asleep, so Eric was just starting to deal with Eileen’s problem.

“Ms. Swan…” Gavin sighed frustratingly. “Why don’t I just pass the phone to Ms. Swan? You can console her!”

Eric did not have the energy to coax her. “After this is all over, you don’t have to bring her here anymore. Just send her back to the house.” He replied emotionlessly.

“Yes, sir…”

Gavin did not put down the call, and put his phone directly into his pocket.

On the other end of the call, Eric walked into the kitchen to get himself a glass of water. Just as he was about to hang up, suddenly he heard the sound of Eileen crying through the phone.

Apart from her, there was also the voice of another man…

“No one will bully you anymore okay? It’s okay. Don’t cry…”

Jasper’s hand was warm. It made Eileen’s heart warm up too.

He was the first person to ever say such words to her.

Eric had never been the one to console her when she was sad. He would tell her that it annoyed him a lot that she was a crybaby and shoo her away.

“Can I… lean on your shoulder?” Eileen asked with a tremble in her voice.

Jasper smiled slightly and stretched out his hands towards her. “Anytime.”

So just when Gavin walked in, he saw Eileen crying in another man’s arms.

him in a dilemma, he didn’t know what to do.

Eric heard Eileen’s cries, and his eyes deepened.

Eileen had put some ointment on her face Jasper had bought it for her

Apart from this incident, Eileen knows deep inside that she couldn’t take another beating again.

So, she let Gavin take her for a car ride.

“Do you think my father will know about what happened today?” she asked in the car.

Gavin looked at her through the rearview mirror and nodded. “If you feel wronged about it. Ms. Swan, you can always tell him. Even though he may not look like he cares, I’m sure he’ll take care of it for you behind the scenes.”

Eileen stared out the window and enjoyed the seaside view. They were at the border between Hulbury and Pearltown.

There was a painting in her room that depicted the very same scene she was looking at. Her mom was the one who drew it…

“… Let’s not trouble him today! He’s already busy enough.”

“Gavin, let’s go home a bit later today. Can you… help me hold him off…?” Eileen bit her lips as she said that.

Gavin took a deep breath. “I will try my best, Ms. Swan.”

“Oh, forget it… I have to go back and deal with it anyways. I was the one who caused all the mess. Let’s just head back, Gavin.”

“Sure thing, Ms. Swan.”

Back on the road, Eileen saw a vendor selling ice cream, so she asked Gavin to stop the car and buy a couple for them.

He had a blueberry one, and she had a strawberry one.

She was just a girl after all, so having something to eat before a scolding was not a loss to her.

Back at Undella Mansion, the sky was already dark.

She took a day’s leave from today’s training class

He could feel a sense of tense eeriness in the room. “Mr. Swan, sir, everything is settled. Ms. Swan is aware of her wrongdoings, and apologized to all of the ladies.”

Will Swan could see Eileen through Gavin’s frame. “You’ve worked hard today. Go home.”

“Yes, sir.” As Gavin turned around to leave, he shot Eileen a look, as to wish her good luck.

Will did not look at his daughter at all. He only picked up the spoon on the table, took a bite of food, and said. “Go kneel in the study.”

Eileen lowered her gaze. “Yes, father.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
