Chapter 171: Condoms
Brooklyn gritted her teeth, watching the video of her and Aaron, fooling around in Sean’s office. She thought the incident when Sean caught them red-handed was the only time he had found out, but no, apparently, he had a recording!
She angrily turned to Sean and his lawyers. Evan, Wendell, and Keith were with him too. They were in full force in facing her with the divorce settlement and in canceling the
business partnership between the Ross family and one of the firm’s shareholders, Wendell Franco.
The meeting happened in one of the accounting firm’s conference rooms. They had been in a heated discussion for half an hour before Sean’s party presented the video of Brooklyn’s infidelity.
“Stop it! Stop it, I said!” She warned, her voice raised, and her nose flared as she pointed to the monitor. “How dare you take a private video of me
“You were fucking in my office. I have every right to have a surveillance camera in there,” Sean reasoned with a shrug.
Brooklyn’s father, Bernard, also attended the settlement meeting. He questioned the video, saying, “That video is probably fake.”
“We are willing to have the video evaluated for authenticity. However, you should know that several witnesses from the firm had come forward with Brooklyn and Aaron’s affair,” Sean proposed.
“I was witness to that. I was there when it happened,” Keith said.
“If you disagree with our terms, we will gladly expose Brooklyn for her cheating ways to the public and how she tried to steal from the company. The firm will lose clients, and its trust rating will go down,” Wendell added. “I will lose my money, sure, but that also means you will lose your money too! I can still live with the loss, but can you?”
“If you continue to claim alimony for the divorce, I will sue for adultery,” Sean added. “Not only has Aaron lost his job, but he will also be locked up along with you, Brooklyn.”
But we are already divorcing,” Brooklyn argued.
“We haven’t now, have we? Because you wanted more money, you would not settle the divorce without getting my house and at least ten percent of my company shares. That is how hungry you are for money,” Sean pointed out.
“If you continue to pursue this, Bernard, you are also going against me. Do you want me to announce a business ban against you and your family?” Evan threatened, referring to Brooklyn’s father. “Tell your daughter to stop dreaming. She was the one who asked for the divorce in the first place. She shouldn’t be brave enough to ask for alimony or any of Sean’s properties!”
Following Evan’s warning, Brooklyn’s lawyers privately pulled her and her father out to discuss thoroughly.
After some time, they returned with a definitive agreement.
“My client has agreed to an uncontested divorce. She has also agreed not to get any alimony and the withdrawal of investments from the Rosses and Mister Franco, provided the following,” the lawyers began to list their demands, saying, “That there will be no leak about the affair of our client, within the firm and outside, and that the Thompson Group of Companies will not impose a business ban against the firm, or any businesses belonging to our client’s family.”
Sean looked at his friends, and with all of them nodding, he agreed. The divorce agreement had ultimately been signed. The investments belonging to Sean and his family had been returned as a check, including that of Wendell’s. Sean then gave all rights of the firm to Brooklyn without hesitation.
Two days before Sean’s surgery, he was free of Brooklyn in the paper. Still, it will be official once the court has finalized the divorce.

“When will the divorce be granted?” Sean asked Wendell.
“My dad said he had talked to the judge. It would take about a month at the very least,” Wendell responded. “Most divorce proceedings last up to a year, but for an
uncontested one, a month is the fastest. Don’t worry. I’ll be on top of it.”
“I swear after the divorce has been approved, she is going to go down,” Sean suggested.
The friends discussed the rest of their plans in Evan’s office. It appeared as though Brooklyn was easily off the hook, but it was only phase one of their plans. Brooklyn first needed to agree to an uncontested divorce with no alimony to avoid delaying the process. However, once the judge had granted the divorce, they would go all out on her.
They all had refreshments in the sitting area of the man’s office when Evan asked his friend, “Has Anna agreed to cooperate?”
Sean nodded, saying, “Yes, she has.”
“And the Department of Labor? Have they gotten back to us about our request?” Sean sought.
Sean had seen in the books how Brooklyn had named him as the approver of an audit for the Department of Labor.
However, that was impossible because he was in a coma back then. He thought it was utterly fishy that he requested an investigation.
Evan nodded and replied, “They will get back to us in a week. H
“Let’s worry about that later. What’s important is your surgery,” Keith proposed. Turning to Sean, he inquired, “Are you ready for it?”
Sean nodded. He replied, “Yes, Reese has been preparing me for the operation so I can get back in shape faster. If it all turns right, I can finally walk normally again in a week.” 1
“Again, I’m really sorry about this, Sean,” Evan said. “You
would not have needed the surgery if not for my CFO.”
“Yes, well, if not for what happened to me, Brooklyn would not have shown her true self,” Sean replied. “I think it would have been more devastating if we were married for a year or two and I learned about her schemes. Then, it would be tougher to leave the marriage.”
All heads were nodding at that point.
Suddenly, Evan went to his desk. He pulled a document from his drawer, saying, “I know that meeting your daughter is motivation enough for you to get better, but perhaps this will encourage you further.”
Out of nowhere, Evan kneeled in front of Sean. He shook his head, saying, “I swear this was Shanty’s idea, but she
thought it was fun and would cheer you up, so here it goes.” i
“What the hell are you doing, man?” Sean asked, utterly puzzled.
“Are you divorcing Shanty for Sean?” Wendell asked before throwing into a set of laughter. i
“I swear since Evan got back with Shanty, he has turned comedic,” Keith said.
“I don’t know, man. You had comedic episodes too? Remember your milkshake proposal?” Wendell reminded Keith.
Evan was still down on his knee, handing the document to Sean. As his friends were speculating his actions, he said,” Mister Sean Ross
“Fuck, Evan has gone mad!” Sean declared.
Wendell covered his eyes, saying, “I don’t know what he is doing, man.”
“My good friend, Mister Sean Ross, will you make me the happiest CEO on earth by accepting to be my CFO, for better or for worst, till death do us part?” Evan ultimately said, and that was when his friends broke into a set of a boisterous laughs. 1
“Fuck! I thought Evan had really lost it!” Sean exclaimed. i
“Invest your family’s money in me, and let’s take care of it together,” Evan said, referring to the investment Sean
withdrew from his firm. “So, will you, Sean, accept my offer?”
“Take it, man!” Keith said, laughing his heart out. “It’s a business and job marriage.” i
“Reminds me of the grandparent vows,” Wendell remarked. iNôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Evan’s tone of voice turned serious. He revealed, “The truth is, I need you more. I need someone I can trust to help me run my group of companies, Sean. If only I could invite Keith and Wendell in, but they have their own companies. Now that you are free, I thought this was the perfect time to invite you.”
Sean’s laughter changed into a smile as he held the document. He read it briefly, and after flipping from one page to another, he replied, “Yes, Evan. I’ll be your CFO.” ’
“And he said, Yes!” Evan said, getting up and clapping his hands loudly. “I am now the happiest CEO on earth!” 2
Laughter once again filled the air of Evan’s office, but soon it hushed as Sean said, “Thank you, Evan.” He turned to his friends and said, “You guys are like condoms.”
“What? What the hell, Sean?” Wendell sought.
“Friends are like condoms. We protect each other when things get hard,” Sean said before laughing. 1
“Now that’s the Sean I know,” Keith said before chuckling.” That was a good one.”
“Sean is back,” Evan declared.
“Sean is back,” Wendell echoed.
“Welcome back, Sean,” Evan said, extending his hand to him, “My new CFO.”
