To Love You Again, My Husband
Chapter 79: Sued and Imprisoned Airina’s POV
From the very beginning, those directors didn’t have a good impression on me because first, I am a woman. And second and last was merely because I am close with Matthew. No one knew what else our relationship was, but most of the people inside the company speculated that we were in a relationship.
And now that the news that I am previously married to Jackson came out, I wonder what kind of words they would throw at me again. I am not sure how will they react first, but I am sure their flushed faces will be the first thing I see. This fact makes my headache worse, but I put on a brave face and smirked.
This may be the first time that this happened to me, but this will never be the first time that I face them.
When we arrived to the door, I glanced at Matthew who nodded his head at me as if assuring me that everything will be fine. Before I came inside, Jackson’s words rang in my head.
[“If you feel like giving up, just run to me. I will hug you no matter the result.”]Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
I clenched my fists and opened the big doors. Matthew headed inside while I followed along behind him. Upon seeing everyone, I took a deep breath and observed around. Their mocking faces, some were baffled, while some felt like they were already stabbing me were obvious.
Only from their gazes that I feel that they want me to resign from this company. But I refused to be trampled upon on when it took me a long time to join in the Halton group. And no, it wasn’t because of my connection but because of the efforts I put into the works and presentations I do.
So, how dare those who doesn’t know I underwent through, said those hurtful words as if I relied solely on the connections I have.
I darkly stared at them as I seethed in anger. They really dare, which makes this thrilling. It was thanks to me that they could enjoy the benefits given by the company.
“Today is a special day, isn’t it, everyone?,” Matthew started with his normal complexion, “Due to some unexpected news, we’re here to address the issues and the possible solutions to them. So, to start, let’s call on our main lead today… Miss Airina H. Beverly.”
After he stepped out of the stage, I spent a little time to collect my emotions and put on my natural expression.
I momentarily closed my eyes and smiled.
“Hello everyone, I am Airina, your exclusive shareholder in this company. You must have heard about the news that I am a divorcee? This spread so fast considering that it was only released yesterday. From the beginning, let me clarify that I am in no way a spy to any of the companies. If ever I was, one of the companies should have gone bankrupt or worse was that they would have fallen without no way to recover,” I paused, “The news about me as Mister Jackson’s wife surprised me, too. But I am hoping that everyone could help me clean the mess so that the Halton group stays clean.”
Someone raised his hand. When I gave him the permission to speak, he asked me. “How could you prove that you are not CEO Jackson’s spy? How reliable are your words and do you have proof that you are in no way a spy?”
To be frank, I don’t have any evidence in me. What kind of evidence do they want, actually?
“I won’t reveal any personal information about me, but I want to advise that you shouldn’t trust everything you see on the Internet. Without doubt, I am aware that most of the people here have experienced being a laughingstock and mocked by other people through the Internet,” I set my hand on the table, “If I was indeed Jackson’s ex-wife, what good would it have if I became his spy when we cut ties off with each other?”
The same person perplexedly stared at me, intending to say something. However, I looked away from him and told.
“If I was his spy, would I have spent so much time working each day when I am not required to do so? Further deepening this subject, if the speculation of the people were true, how come Sir Matthew wasn’t informed when he has the power to know about the dark business I am doing?”
“Miss Airina, your reasons are not plausible-”
“All of us are trusted directors and shareholders of the Halton group but if we can’t discern the truth from lies, how could we stay in the same position as is?,” I turned towards Matthew and questioned, “Sir Matthew, may I ask something?”
He smirked, “Speak.”
I released a sigh. “What will you do if I was indeed a spy from another companies?”
He hid his hands into his pocket with a sly smirk on his mouth.
“What good will it do to me if I keep you here? You will be sued and imprisoned, to be precise.”
