Chapter 218
Falco knocked on the door and walked in, bringing me a gift.
It was a keychain with angel wings.!!
“This is from Hank. He wasn’t sure if you’d accept it, so he sent me to test the waters.”
I played with the wings. “Why?“%
“There’s a tracker in it. He was worried about your safety and had it custom–made. But he was afraid you’d think he had. bad intentions, so he didn’t dare give it to you himself.“”
The angel wings were solid gold with shimmering gemstones embedded in them–stunningly beautiful.
“This cost almost a million, and the tracker inside isn’t cheap either. It has global positioning,”
This gift felt just as moving as the acquisition letter from FitzTech Innovations
“I’ll keep it. I’ll thank him in person.“%
“Yvie, Hank is really a great guy. Don’t hesitate–go for him!”
Falco gave me a thumbs–up before closing the door and leaving.
I stared at the keychain, opened Henrik’s chat, but had no idea what to say
I had a feeling about his infentions, but I wasn’t sure if I was overthinking it, so I didn’t dare confirm. E
And I wasn’t ready to jump into a new relationship so soon.
I randomly opened my feed and saw that he had just posted something.
[Ill take 99 steps toward her. That last step it’s up to her if she wants to come to me.]!
Is that for the person he likes, or is it for me?
I acted normal and liked the post, then sent him a private message.
[Got the gift. This birthday has been great!!
Henrik replied with a smiling emoji
I didn’t ask what his past meant.
Third Person’s POV
Heston was on his way home with his parents, and the entire ride, they were cursing Yvonne, calling her ungrateful and a heartless traitor.
Meanwhile, Wendolene began to freak out. “Tonny, the company’s not yours anymore… Can we… Can we still keep our
jobs?%
fault
Heston kept his eyes on the road. “Of course not. I’m already handing things over.”
VerdantCore Technologies wouldn’t keep him, and a lot of employees would be fired along with him.
He knew this was Yvonne’s revenge.!!
Heston’s mom snapped, “You two weren’t careful, and now look at the mess you’ve made! Wendolene, this is all your
Wendolene lowered her head. She didn’t understand–was it wrong to want a better life?
Why does Yvonne get everything handed to her at birth while I have to suffer?
While everyone was too busy blaming each other to face their own mistakes, Heston regretted it the most. He had never planned to divorce Yvonne, and this was the last outcome he wanted.
He got bored of her, wanted something new, but never actually wanted to lose her.
‘Now that FitzTech Innovations is gone, what do I even have to look forward to?
Just then, his phone rang. When he picked up, he found out the company had been caught for tax evasion. His
Pies were being seized to pay off the debts!
After leaving the marriage with nothing, his villas were his only assets. Now, without them, he had nowhere to go.
“No! My life isn’t supposed to turn out like this!!
Yvonne’s POV
When I heard about Heston’s downfall from Henrik, I felt nothing but satisfaction.
He deserved every bit of it
I never expected him to mess with the company’s finances.K
Good thing the amount wasn’t too big, or he’d be rotting in jail.
Henrik handed me back the report I submitted “Yvonne, just focus on work. Work will never betray you.”
It was what I had said when I first started this job X
“Of course. Men only slow me down.”
I turned and left, not noticing the disappointment on his face.
Heston’s fate wasn’t my concern anymore.
I had my own life to live X
I just didn’t expect to see him again X
Our department had a dinner gathering at a well–known local club.lt
Halfway through, I stepped out to use the restroom.
As I washed my hands at the sink, I looked up and met Heston through the mirror. He was standing outside.
It had been almost two weeks since FitzTech Innovations was sold. He and his mistress had long been kicked out.
He looked exhausted, his eyes bloodshot–almost unsettling.
He was wearing the club’s staff uniform.X
“Oh, so, he works here now
