The CEO Wants To Divorce Me -
Chapter 11
When Arabella got home, she even had the ridiculous fantasy that Ezra would call to ask if she knew she had reached out to him. Unfortunately, as expected, the man still hadn't contacted her.
It was another sleepless night.
The next day, Arabella received another phone call from Grace Ruth.
She was a little surprised, but tried to cheer up and asked, "Mom, what's going on?"
The Grace Ruth on the other end was crying and spoke anxiously, "Arabella, what's going on with you and Ezra? I heard that he is suppressing our company recently, an important project has a break in funding, the company's stock is now down!" How could that be!
"Mom, is that true?!"
Arabella's hands and feet were cold, and even her breathing was stagnant.
She was no stranger to Ezra's ruthless and determined methods, but she had never imagined that he would apply these actions to her family!
Her thin body trembled slightly, using all her strength to maintain her composure, she spoke comfortingly, "Mom, take it easy, I'll take care of this matter!"
Three years of marriage, although Ezra did not treat her and Ruth's family well, but not so much as to do this at Ruth's family.
The reason he was doing this now was that he had thought that she had let Jack Smith ruin Beth Ruth, so he had turned his anger against her on the entire Ruth's family?
No, she had to go to him and replace out!
Arabella arrived at James' Company again, and ignoring the curious stares of the crowd, she took the elevator to Ezra's floor.
She was once again stopped by the secretary, who looked embarrassed and apologized. "Sorry madam, Mr. James is receiving guests at ......, why don't you come back afternoon?" Arabella looked at her evasive look, then understood that Beth Ruth is inside again.
But not to mention that they are inside, even if they are in bed, she will still barge in!
"Get out of the way!"
Arabella pushed open the door of the office in spite of the persuasion, and the image that entered her eyes immediately.
In the bright and spacious office, Beth Ruth was snuggled up in Ezra's arms, holding up her phone and looking at something, and the two of them were talking and laughing.
The picture is warm and sweet, like a pair of lovers.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Arabella could hardly imagine that Ezra, who had always been strict and restrained, would one day allow others to waste his working time doing such meaningless things.
Once, she had come to his office to look for him, but each time he had his head buried in his work, not giving a damn look about her.
And now, he was willing to drop what he was doing for Beth Ruth and play along with her ......
Arabella clasped the door panel tightly, the fingers at the belly so hard that they lost blood and turned white. She has been carefully speculating about the man's mind for so many years, thinking that she could get halfway close to him by not doing what he didn't like.
But in reality, Beth Ruth's so-called principles can be changed again and again whenever he wants.
Finding the office door suddenly opened, Ezra looked over in displeasure, his face instantly changed and he shouted sternly. "Who let you in? Get out!"
Arabella did not move, her body trembled slightly where the man could not see.
Beth Ruth also looked over curiously, and when she saw that it was Arabella, the corners of her mouth lifted into a smile, "Sister, what brings you here?"
"Ezra, I have something very important to ask you!" Arabella forced herself to ignore Beth Ruth and walked in slowly, looking steadily at the man she once vowed to love deeply for the rest of her life.
The hand at her side was clenched into a fist and she asked, "I heard that Ruth's Company's capital chain is being suppressed, and even the stock is being manipulated behind the scenes. Was it you who did this?"
Her voice was weak but firm.
Ezra let go of Beth Ruth and stood up himself, his gaze frank and sarcastic, "So what if it was?"
Arabella's breath caught and she looked at him incredulously, "Why would you do that?!"
"Why?" The man laughed cruelly, "This is what they deserve!"
As if thinking of some unpleasant image, Ezra's eyes gradually grew a trace of blood red. "What kind of parents will give birth to what kind of daughter! You are as dirty as they are!"
Arabella stared at him dumbfounded, her ears slightly deaf, "What are you talking about?"
"I don't believe you don't know how many dirty things your parents have secretly done behind the scenes!" He took one step closer to Arabella, his tone was cold as if it came from hell, "My parents' death is definitely related to your father. I will make your Ruth's family pay for it in blood!"
Arabella felt a sudden buzzing and roaring in her ears.
She turned pale and shook her head gently, "That is not true! My father couldn't be that kind of person!"
Her father had been upright and kind all his life, how could he have done something so cruel?
"Sister, do you really know Uncle Ruth?" Beth Ruth suddenly stepped forward and said softly, "Uncle Ruth has always been hypocritical, but I heard him cursing James' family behind his back several times, seeing James' Company as a thorn in his flesh. Don't you think about why he has been reluctant to your marriage? It must be that he worried about their own handle fell in James's family, from now on be held ......"
"That's enough!" Arabella interrupted her sternly, her eyes bloodshot from shock and anger, her heart abounding with rage.
This was when she really saw Beth Ruth's ability to lie.
It was enough to sling mud at herself with the Jack Smith story, but now she had the audacity to accuse her father so easy!
"Beth Ruth, do you have a conscience? My parents kindly picked you up from the orphanage, treated you so well like their own daughter, and this is how you treat them?"
When she reacted so violently, Beth Ruth was secretly pleased with herself.
As if scared by Arabella, she shrank into Ezra's arms and said with tears in her eyes, "Sister, don't you know how I was treated in Ruth's family? Uncle Ruth adopted me just for your companionship, never treated me as his own daughter...... in Ruth's family, what is the difference between me and your maid? I put up with all this, after all, Ruth's family has raised me for so many years, I should be grateful, but......"
After saying this, Beth Ruth paused, as if remembering something bad, cried out, "but, how can you force me to marry an older man than Uncle Ruth's age! Even if I'm not their real daughter, you can't do this to me! If it weren't for Brother Ezra, my life would have been ruined......"
