Susan dropped her arm and held Jessie up with suppressed anger.
"Im sorry, Jessie."
"Sorry, madam. I will leave right now. Im so sorry to trouble you."
Susan hugged her: "Dont leave. If you have faith in me, stay here."
With that, she dragged Albert into the presidents office with her.
She slammed the door with a "Bang!", blocking Lacey outside the door.
To her surprise, Albert cooperated with her.
"Albert, you have to do this?"
"What?"
"You know what I mean. Dont forget that your weakness was outside."
The man raised his eyebrows and looked at her in the eyes silently.
It seemed that he didnt care at all.
Susan continued, "Before tonight, I want to see my lipstick operates normally, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Albert asked hurriedly.
Susan smiled, "I will talk about something that you dont want your family to know at the family dinner tonight! Though I cant destroy you, destroying Lacey was not difficult for me."
"You terminated my family brand because of that bitch. Guess what your father and grandpa will do when he knows?"
"You will see what they will do tonight."Albert didnt feel flustered at all.
He was like a king who has the confidence of putting everything under his control.
"Albert!"Susan frowned," I changed my mind. Just forget the nonsense I mentioned last night! I will not let Lacey off the hook."
There was a desperate glowing of courage in her eyes.
There wasnt anyone or anything that could hinder her.
"Nonsense?" Albert looked at him, he cared about her words more than her anger.
Susan looked him in the eye: "Besides that, I will also keep my assistant and protect my brand!"
Albert didnt conceal the disdain on his face: "Then Ill see how you protect them!"
Then he left with the deafening sound of slamming the door.
......
As soon as Albert left, Susan felt all her strength fade away.
She leaned on the chair to have a rest.
Before she recovered from fatigue, her phone rang.
It was Alberts father.
As she planned, it was about that news.
He invited her to go home for dinner and promised that he would ask Albert to apologize to her.
Susan answered politely and promised to attend.
This was her plan.
Taking advantage of Alberts family.
Immoral, but effective.
......
In the evening, when Susan arrived at Alberts house, Albert was being rebuked in the study.
It didnt last long.
Soon they came downstairs to welcome Susan.
But......
It seemed that Albert has said something to his grandpa and his father.
When they came out, their eyes at her were completely different.
Susans heart sank, and she looked at Albert.
He was raising his eyebrows and grinned a triumphant smile at her.
As if a king who just foiled the plot of rebel forces.
His mother came up and said, "Susan, I have something for you. Come to my room."
So this was Alberts counterstrike.
Susan wanted to know what Albert said to his family that could be so powerful to reverse the situation so easily.
When they entered the bedroom, Alberts mother handed her a red brocade box.
Susan took it over and asked, "Whats this?"
"Open it."
Susan did as she was told, then she saw a jade of Bodhisattvas shape.
Alberts mother said, "This jade could bless you and bring you good luck."
"You and Albert dont have a child for so long. With this, you can bear a baby as soon as possible."
Susan held the jade and suddenly understood what Albert said.
Giving birth was the priority and most important mission for a qualified wife.
If she couldnt fulfill it, it was quite reasonable for Albert to find a substitute for her.
After all, they have been married for more than three years, but her belly was still flat.
In the eyes of others, there seemed to be no other reason except that she couldnt get pregnant.
Susan was so sad.
"Thanks, mom."
"If you want to catch a mans heart, the most effective method was to have a baby for him. Were doing it for you"
Susan nodded mechanically.
Her life was almost over. Now she was only glad she had no children.
If she had a child, how could she leave that baby!
Alberts mother noticed her absent-minded look, she took her hand and said, "Dont worry too much. His father didnt like me before. After I had Albert, his heart immediately returned to the family. Therefore, you should have a child as soon as possible."
"I know, mom."
"Good girl, lets go and have dinner downstairs."
......
As his father said, Albert apologized to her with a sincere attitude.
He behaved so considerately that even served Susan soup and dessert on his initiative.
Suddenly, her heart thumped.
......
When they came out after dinner, both of them remained silent.
Under the street lamp, Albert opened his mouth, "My family wont do anything bad to Lacey. If she meets any accident, its you."
Susan sucked her nose and nodded.
Albert didnt expect that she would be so calm.
He suddenly felt inexplicably empty.
While he was meditating, Susan stopped and looked at him.
Now that Albert had already turned all his family against her, she has completely lost all her support.
She suddenly felt so tired.
Even if her life was about to be marked with an end sign, why should she continue to waste her precious time fighting with him?
Taking a deep breath, she looked at his back, "Albert."
"Huh?"
"I agree."
For a moment, Albert felt all the blood in his body coagulate in an instant.
He tried to feign calm and turned back to look her in the eye.
"What did you say?"
"I said, I want to divorce you, Albert Karl."
Albert was stunned for a moment,then sneered: "Is this your new trick?"
"I am talking to you seriously. I have only one condition."
"Oh?"
"We used to be childhood sweethearts. And my company used to be the place where we played."
She sobbed slightly, "Protect my brand and keep Jessie. Please run the brand well. I dont want to destroy this brand because of personal factors."
Alberts deep eyes fell on her as if trying to see through her.
After a long silence, he asked: "Are you sure?"
