Grace Ye enjoyed the pursuit and pampering of her boss. She accepted all the flowers and gifts sent by her boss, but at most, she only kissed her boss. She maintained this last line of defense.
She was not remarkably chaste; she was keeping Matthew Zhou's interest piqued.
She wanted not to be an undercover lover but to be Matthew Zhou's wife.
However, Matthew Zhou and his wife, having been college classmates, have been in love for years. A woman named Anna Hai used to be the financial director of this company. However, when Grace Ye joined the company, Anna Hai resigned and became a housewife.
Grace Ye had never met Anna Hai. Through old colleagues in the company, she knew that Anna Hai gave birth to her son, Ethan Zhou, a year after her marriage, and she had been taking care of the baby at home since then. She also heard that Anna Hai's body shape and appearance changed after giving birth to her son, making her as round as a ball.
She also heard Matthew Zhou repeatedly complain that his wife had become as fat as a pig.
Grace Ye cursed in her heart. Anna Hai was genuinely foolish. Even after marriage, one should strive to maintain a good figure. What man could still be attracted to her if she became as round as a ball?
There's no justification for blaming Grace Ye for getting involved with Matthew Zhou. Anna Hai's inability to maintain a beautiful figure turned Matthew Zhou away. Plus, she squandered money all day long.
If Anna Hai spent less, Matthew Zhou could spend more on her.
Whenever Anna Hai was mentioned, Matthew Zhou immediately expressed his disgust, "She's just like a pig. I feel sick when I see her. If it weren't for wanting to provide my son with a complete family, I would have divorced her long ago."
On the other hand, Mila Hai, her sister-in-law, had a well-maintained figure and was younger and more beautiful than Anna Hai. The two sisters were obviously from the countryside, but Mila Hai carried herself with a noble temperament.
Of course, Anna Hai used to have that nobility, but now, everything was ruined due to her weight gain.
Anna Hai was unaware that her husband was having an affair with his young secretary. Although she knew her husband had a young secretary, hearing the sweet voice on the phone didn't lead her to suspicions. She put her son back in the stroller and continued pushing him.
Due to her distraction, she accidentally hit a parked Maybach with the stroller.
The stroller hit the car, causing minor damage to the luxury vehicle. When she saw the logo on the car clearly, she was frightened.
Coincidentally, the car owner arrived and rushed over upon seeing the situation.
"Sir, I'm sorry," Anna Hai apologized repeatedly.
The man, about thirty-four or five years old, dressed in black with regular features, had a scar on the right side of his face, giving him a somewhat intimidating look. At the sight of him, Young Ethan Zhou became scared and extended his little hand towards his mother, asking her to hold him.
The scarred man examined his car and observed Anna Hai carrying a baby. Though he didn't seem pleased, he didn't yell. He said in a deep voice, "Leave me your contact number and wait for my car to get fixed. Once it's done, I'll reimburse you for the cost."
"Sir, I'm sorry," Anna Hai said.
After silence, the scarred man added, "It's happened. Apologizing won't change anything. Please be cautious while walking in the future. If you scratch my car, you'll have to pay for the damages. If it hurts your baby, you'll regret it."
"Yes, yes, it's my fault. I'll be more careful in the future."
Anna Hai took out her phone and said, "Sir, tell me your number, and I'll call you. If you keep my number, when your car is repaired, I'll compensate you no matter how much it costs."
The scarred man provided his number.
Anna Hai made the call and waited for it to ring before hanging up.
"What's your last name?"
"If your last name is Hai, my name is Anna Hai."
The scarred man noted Anna Hai's name and waved his hand, "Alright, you can go now."
Anna Hai apologized again and quickly pushed her son away from the scene. She knew she would face her husband's scolding when she got home.
