The Secret Affairs of the Fake Duke Couple (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 9
Lloyd, the head of the company formerly known as Goo Hays Corporation—now renamed JJ Corporation—was growing thinner by the day.
At first, when he took over JJ Corporation in Cain’s place, he had felt it was tough but manageable.
Cain had meticulously laid out every detail of the path and plans JJ Corporation should follow, and all Lloyd had to do was walk along the markers Cain had drawn.
But then it started becoming overwhelming.
Thanks to Cain’s brilliantly crafted plans, the company had grown steadily day by day.
Moreover, with the nation undergoing major restructuring, even more business was pouring into JJ Corporation.
Lloyd tried his best to avoid taking on new work, but it was hard to refuse when Cedric himself made the request.
In the end, compared to the old Goo Hays Corporation, JJ Corporation had nearly grown tenfold in scale and nearly twentyfold in revenue.
JJ Corporation had become nothing short of a corporate behemoth, and Lloyd, as its ultimate decision-maker, was keeping a schedule so packed that sleeping four hours a day felt like a luxury.
Naturally, it had been a full year since he last had time for the research he loved.
At least while Cain was still in the capital, Lloyd could occasionally visit him to vent and receive emotional relief by asking for help on difficult decisions.
But that became impossible after Cain left for the island where Jane lived.
In fact, before leaving, Cain even left Lloyd a note:
“If you truly wish for your friend’s happiness, do not contact me.”
It was a request from the usually level-headed Cain, who addressed Lloyd not just as a business partner or colleague, but as a “friend.”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
