My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back by Cheryl Moore
Chapter 22

Chapter 22

When Kimberly returned for lunch at noon, Yandel knew something would happen at the Larson estate that night.

Sure enough, he saw William, Dominic, and Whitney at his residence by night.

“Dad, you have to help me!” Dominic started to play the victim in front of his father, speaking ill of Kimberly. “There are so many capable men in the company. But why should I have to take one for the team?”

He became more irritated as he spoke through gritted teeth, “This is clearly selfish of her. She wants to make us the figureheads of Larson Corporation.”

Yandel could no longer hold back his repressed anger upon seeing how his son reacted.

He then said, “As a member of the Larson family, why can’t you take the one for the team? Who do you think you are, though? Cameron was too indulgent with all of you, and he took everything on his shoulder back then. But now, you guys back out like. cowards when Larson Corporation needs you to make a little contribution. You lot don’t act like Larsons at all!”

The trio widened their eyes in disbelief upon hearing Yandel’s remarks. They decided. to team up with each other to tattle on Kimberly to Yandel in the first place.

However, they did not expect Yandel would take sides with Kimberly as though he got brainwashed by her.

As William could tell things seemed to be going wrong, he quickly shot a look at Whitney. He was well aware that the latter had a higher chance than him of convincing

Yandel.

Whitney immediately went over to Yandel and h ooked her arm around him, pouting, “Grandpa, Uncle Dominic can’t keep you company if he goes abroad. Besides, it’s not a big deal without having Uncle Dominic at the overseas branch. Even if someone replaces him for the transfer, it won’t affect the company’s development, anyway.”

After hearing Whitney’s words, Yandel knocked her arm off in no time. He glared at her, saying, “There’s not a single one of you who can measure up to Kimberly. I’d say you can see no further than your nose.”

Clearly, he had no intention of elaborating on that matter and stopped at that point. He then added, “And you, Whitney. Even though Kimberly’s not much older than you, she’s. able to carry heavy responsibilities. Right now, the company is in need of staff, but you’re just having fun and loafing around all day. You’d better bring your mind back from that. I want you to start working at the bottom of the company next Monday.”

At that moment, Whitney was in deep remorse. She thought to herself, “What? I was just helping Uncle Dominic smooth things over, and I ended up digging myself into a hole. If I’m going to work at the bottom of Larson Corporation, Kimberly will definitely pick on me.”

Thinking of that, she hurriedly crouched down, tugged at the corner of Yandel’s clothes, and pretended to burst into tears. “Grandpa, I can’t go to work for the time. being. I’m still studying!”

Nevertheless, Whitney had miscalculated this time as Yandel did not buy her story.

Looking at his disappointing granddaughter, he shook his head and sighed to himself. “Well, like father, like daughter.”

“There’s no use acting cute and looking for excuses. Either you behave and start working next Monday, or study abroad. Chew it over,” Yandel insisted.

Whitney was totally stressed out. She sobbed as she said, “Kimberly wants to send Uncle Dominic to the overseas branch, and you want to ship me off to study abroad. Grandpa, who’s going to keep you company in the future?”

At that moment, Whitney was at the end of her wits. All she could do was play the sentiment card.

“I’m still hale and hearty. You don’t have to worry about my health all the time. If you really want what’s best for me, you have to work hard and get somewhere with your life and make me proud. After all, you carry the blood of the Larson family in your b*dy.”

Yandel’s words made Whitney and the other two speechless.

It seemed like they failed to persuade Yandel and even caused Whitney to become one of the workers of Larson Corporation.

Kimberly could roughly gauge the situation at the Larson estate during the night.

That was why she decided to return to the Larson estate at noon, as she wanted to make room for the trio at night.

Kimberly remarked inwardly, “Well, it’s true that the older, the wiser. Grandpa managed to send Whitney to work starting on Monday, and she even has to work her way up from the bottom. Looks like I’ve to chew on what position fits in with her. Anyway, things went well. But it’s not good for my health to be working in such a high-pressure environment, especially since I’m pregnant. Such a chaotic life must end, and the sooner, the better. I’ve to make the company operate smoothly as soon as possible, so I can just call the tune by then. Tomorrow is the weekend, and I should get some good

rest.”

Chapter 22

Lying on the bed, she was struggling to consider what to do on weekends. In fact, her spirits would dampen instead every time she thought things over.

Olivia could always easily make a decision. Therefore, Kimberly asked the former to help her decide.

“Ollie, tomorrow is the weekend. I say we’ll set aside our work, go out, and chill. How “Ollic, tomorrow is does that sound?”

Olivia would not have realized that tomorrow was a weekend if Kimberly had not reminded her.

She would get down to work all day whenever she received a case, including this time.

Nevertheless, she had a drop in her efficiency because of Jaxon’s presence. The leap of her heart in the good old days inevitably made it hard for her to concentrate on her work.

Clearly, she needed to give herself a break.

*Sounds great! We can go shopping and buy things for Dexter and Sebastian. That will be very interesting. After that, we’ll go to the amusement park. You’re pregnant, and only those non-dangerous activities fit in with you. But I bet the kids will enjoy themselves very much. Besides, we can explore some fine cuisine’in Dellmoor.”

Kimberly took every single one of Olivia’s advice.

She reached out and wanted to slap her palm against Olivia’s, yet she mumbled to herself, “Hold on. I don’t think the two of us are enough. I feel like we’re missing out on

someone.”

Just then, a thought crossed her mind. “Oh, I know who we missed out. We have to count Vincent in. There must be a knight to serve us two women. Besides, he knows. everything about Dellmoor. We can just enjoy ourselves with him around, and that will save us a lot of time.”

Seeing Kimberly’s animated expression, Olivia could feel her contagious emotion. When she came to Dellmoor, she saw a strong yet independent Kimberly. But now, Kimberly looked the same as the carefree and innocent girl she was back in university.

As soon as the words left her l*ps, Kimberly decided for herself and called Vincent without bothering about whether Olivia agreed or not.

“Vincent, are you available tomorrow? Olivia came here all the way from Norham to help you out, so why don’t you do the honors and show her around Dellmoor? And I can have the golden opportunity to enjoy the perks with you.”

As Olivia heard Kimberly use her as an excuse, she grabbed the latter’s arm and pretended to want to nip at it hard.

Scared, Kimberly wanted to dump her phone and run away.

Vincent smiled indulgently when the sounds of squabbling between the two girls came from the other end of the line.
