Bye, My Ex-husband

Chapter 75: Find Out Who It Is



Chapter 75: Find Out Who It Is 

"Corbin, I need you to take care of this as soon as possible.Make sure you find the person behind this mess."

Rayan didn't take the matter of the anonymous post lightly.

If it were posted by a company insider, it wouldn't have been as serious to Rayan.

However, it was a different story if it was posted by a computer expert.

Corbin bowed politely to Rayan before he walked out with the document in his hand.

He was also determined to figure out who would dare to ruin the reputation of the Lu Group! Previously, he had discussed all the possibilities with Rayan.

Unfortunately, Corbin couldn't find any direct evidence to support his claims.

When Corbin left, only Rayan and Janessa were in the office.

There was a strange atmosphere between the two of them.

Typically, the two of them would be quarreling with one another at this time.

However, there was only silence between the two, as if the office were empty of life.

"You don't need to come to the office these next few days.I'll allow you to work from home."

Rayan wasn't sure how the news was affecting Janessa. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

He feared that if she were troubled by the rumors going around, she wouldn't be able to work properly.

Moreover, he had to stay focused on the project with the Gu Group.

Right now, it was his top priority to get things in order for that.

Janessa was distressed by Rayan's suggestion.

There was no need for him to worry about her.

She wasn't as frail and delicate as he made her out to be.

"Rayan, please don't underestimate me.I'm determined to finish this project properly, and I won't let some petty rumors stop me,"

Janessa said in a firm tone.

It wasn't like it was the first time rumors about her had spread.

Ever since her engagement with Rayan, there had always been a lot of gossip about them.

At that time, the rumors were even more vicious than the ones she faced now.

Why should Janessa hide? If she got through it the last time, then why couldn't she get through it again? What was the worst that could happen to her? : If they thought that a few spiteful words would bring her down, they were gravely mistaken.

Rayan narrowed his eyes at Janessa.

At that moment, he saw Janessa as a different woman than the one he knew.

"You're right.If you were clever enough to win over my mother, these people should be inconsequential to you.Even if we're already divorced, she's still trying to get me to marry you again! Miss Qiu, how did you manage to do that?"

Rayan slowly walked towards Janessa and was deliberately attempting to provoke her.

He wanted to observe how she would react to him.

"My mother is notorious for being a difficult woman to handle.

However, when it comes to you, she has nothing negative to say.

How on earth did you manipulate her to take your side? Now, she's so determined to have me marry you again! Even if it's at the cost of my happiness!"

Janessa placed a hand on his chest to prevent him from coming closer to her.

It was inappropriate for them to be so close to one another inside the office.

His eyes seemed to burn straight into her.

Janessa didn't dare look into his eyes and kept stepping away to keep some distance between them.

After a few moments, Janessa's back hit the cold wall.

There was no way for her to escape him now.

That day, Janessa was wearing a thin summer dress.

The coldness of the wall slowly spread throughout her body as she leaned against the wall.

"I didn't do anything to her.Maybe she grew fond of me because we had a lot of things in common.We had a lot to discuss.However, it seems like you didn't manage to win her over.All of this is news to me.I didn't expect to hear that your mom was still trying to convince you to remarry me.Would that be a problem for your lover when you eventually marry her instead?"

Janessa couldn't help but feel satisfied when she imagined the scene.

Even though she had already left the Lu family, Gracie would have to live in her shadow if she ever managed to marry Rayan.

Rayan stood straight up and casually undid the top button of his shirt.

"You two had a lot to talk about.Is that right? Janessa, you are talented at fabricating lies.

"He then bent down to take a closer look at her.Janessa's delicate collarbone was now partly visible because of her open collar.The sight was alluring to Rayan, and it was enough to make him desire her.He never realized how much he had missed Janessa's body until now.

There were some things that only Janessa was capable of making him feel.

Worried that he might be unable to control himself, Rayan straightened his body once more and glanced outside.

Janessa was terrified at the way he had looked at her just now.

It wasn't until he turned around and left that she let out a sigh of relief.

"Whether you believe it is actually not my business."

Janessa stood up and was about to leave the office when the door suddenly opened."Rayan, I made your favorite chicken soup! Miss Qiu? I didn't expect you to be here.If I'd known you were already discharged from the hospital, I would've brought some soup for you,"

Gracie said.

Janessa knew that this was another one of her schemes to flaunt her relationship with Rayan.

‘What does this have to do with me?’ Janessa couldn't help but think to herself.

"Please enjoy yourselves.I'll be leaving now."

If she had left sooner, she wouldn't have run into Gracie.

"Come and have a taste, Rayan! I spent all morning preparing it for you,"

Gracie said in an affectionate tone.

After that, she quickly placed the food in front of Rayan.

As Rayan looked at the soup Gracie had prepared for him, he realized that he didn't have much of an appetite.

Gracie stood by his side, anticipating for him to begin eating.

‘Even though I'm not hungry, it would hurt Gracie's feelings if I didn't try the food.

She spent all this time and energy to make this for me.' He casually took a bite of the soup.

"This is delicious!"

Although he had no interest in eating, Rayan forced himself to have the soup Gracie brought.

"Please eat more if you like.I can cook for you whenever you're craving something."

It was a pleasant sight for Gracie to see him eat so much.

When Rayan finished his lunch, he continued to work while Gracie was watching a television show on the sofa.

"You don't have to babysit me here.If there's something you have to take care of in the clinic, you can go.I noticed your phone ringing a couple of times."

Rayan could tell that Gracie wanted to spend more time with him, but he couldn't delay his work further for her sake.

Last time, he had been so busy with the company that he wasn't able to care for Gracie the way he'd hoped.

That was the reason she was hospitalized the last time.

He wouldn't allow her to get sick because of him again.

Gracie gave him a reluctant look but decided that he made a good point.

She needed to put more time and effort into the clinic.

Her assistant had tried and failed to contact her many times throughout the day.

However, the thought of Janessa coming into his office at any moment made Gracie hesitant to leave.

If something happened between Janessa and Rayan while she was gone, she wouldn't be able to bear it.

Gracie ended the call and continued to play on her phone.

A notification suddenly popped up on her screen.

To prevent Janessa and Rayan's relationship from developing, Gracie was willing to forego her work at the clinic to keep a close eye on him.

When Rayan noticed that Gracie wasn't making a move to leave, he just left her alone.

Gracie had been spending more time in the office with him these past few days.

It wasn't an issue to Rayan.If she wanted to stay, then she would be free to do so.

Gracie realized that sending her off to work was just an excuse for Rayan to get her out of the way.

She sat silently on the sofa with her phone as she patiently waited for him to get off work.

Rayan didn't pay any attention to her.

There were too many things that needed his attention.

He didn't have time to worry about Gracie at the moment.
