My Bossy CEO Husband

“Mr.

Happer, not only has Lyndon taken several of our projects, but he also met with Osiris recently.

It appears he might support Osiris in taking control of the Happer family from you,” the assistant continued.

Bowen’s expression shifted rapidly.

“I see.

I’ll be right back.

”

He ended the call and prepared to leave.

Scarlet hurried after him.

“Bowen, are you leaving now?”

Bowen turned to her, his expression severe.

He slapped her across the face before speaking sharply.

“Idiot! Go tell your father I can no longer continue our engagement given your recent actions! The engagement is off!”

He wasn’t naive.

Why would Lyndon suddenly target the Happer family?

Clearly, Scarlet was the one who caused it all!

Initially, Bowen hadn’t regarded Lyndon as a serious threat, considering the Happer family’s standing in Betton was on par with the Fernandez family.

Despite knowing the internal disputes within the Fernandez family, he had agreed to Cade Fernandez’s proposal to engage Scarlet, believing it to be advantageous.

However, Scarlet’s actions today had jeopardized a key project.

Moreover, his position as the head of the family was also threatened.

Bowen realized that since his engagement to Scarlet, things had started to go awry.

No matter how attractive she was, he reminded himself, beauties were plentiful; what he needed was a partner who could truly stand by him in times of challenge.

Scarlet clutched her reddened cheek, her emotions a turbulent mix of shame and fury as she caught Rosalynn’s and Valeria’s eyes on her.

As the esteemed daughter of the Fernandez family, she had never faced such humiliation.

This disgrace was all their doing!

Biting back a bitter rage, Scarlet covered her face and quickly retreated from the scene.

Thiago watched her departure, a flicker of regret crossing his features.

Bowen, it seemed, was quite rude.

Despite her beauty, he had the audacity to strike her.

“Thiago, why are you gazing like that? She’s already left,” Valeria teased as she approached, playfully seizing the file from his hands.

Thiago let out an awkward chuckle, followed by a light cough.

“Can’t help it; we all enjoy beholding beauty.

Just… don’t mention this to Kallie, will you?”

Valeria flashed a knowing smile.

“Thiago, your daughter always speaks so highly of you, praising your virtues as a husband and father.

She adores you; don’t let her down.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
