After Divorcing my Captain Husband (Chloe and Michael)

Chapter 397 Pay the Price

She knew the Shawn family was wealthy and powerful.

Their family was only moderately well-off.

Not to mention, they had debts to repay afterward.

How could the wealthy Shawn family accept Chloe?

Even if Wendy had never been rich, she had seen enough to know that prestigious families were always very strict in choosing daughters-in-law.

For the first three years, her illness was unstable. She had no chance to ask these questions.

It was only recently, seeing Chloe always looking worried when visiting her. She decided to properly ask Michael.

"I am sincere about Chloe. I didn't know how to be a good husband before. But from now on, I will try my best to make her happy."

Wendy looked at Michael's serious eyes, and her worries eased considerably.

"Hearing you say that, I am relieved. Chloe has suffered a lot with me since childhood. I hope you don't let her down. I can see she has feelings for you."

Hearing that Chloe still had feelings for him, Michael couldn't help but smile.

Chloe sat outside, feeling a bit uneasy.

She feared Michael might lose patience and her mother might discover something.

But when Wendy called her back in, the atmosphere inside was unexpectedly harmonious.

She glanced at Michael. His eyes were gentle. He naturally held her hand.

Chloe felt like she had been electrocuted and almost instinctively pulled her hand back.

But Michael held on tight, and she couldn't break free.

Wendy squinted her eyes. The smile on her lips was unwavering.

On the way back from the hospital, Chloe sat in the back seat. "I want Maya to pay the price."

She would not let Maya and Madeline off so easily.

Before, her mom tolerated them repeatedly because they were relatives.

But an ungrateful person would never be appreciative.

Michael pursed his lips. "What do you want to do?"

"Didn't their family want to extort money from my mom? If they want money so much, let's give it to them."

"Even if given, let's see if they have the fortune to take it!" she thought.

On her first day at work, Maya had improper thoughts about Michael. It spread throughout the company the next day.

When she went to work, everyone looked at her strangely.

Maya felt uneasy. But she pretended nothing had happened and sat at her desk.

Within an hour, the supervisor came over.

"Maya?"

"Yes... Sir, do you have any instructions?"

"This project's funds are assigned to you. Verify them today and report back to me."

A stack of files was slammed onto her desk.

Verifying funds had always been a very cautious task.

And recently, Paramount Airlines had only a few projects, all large ones.

Assigning such a large amount of money to an intern, was it not too careless?

The surrounding colleagues were somewhat disapproving. "Sir, she just started yesterday. Is it appropriate to assign this to her alone?"

The supervisor glared at the person. "This is Mr. Shawn's order. Not satisfied? Then go talk to Mr. Shawn yourself."

When everyone heard Michael assigned it, their expressions immediately became meaningful.

Could it be that something really happened between Maya and Michael yesterday?

Otherwise, why would she get such a big project today?

Maya was initially impatient. Upon hearing it was assigned by Michael, she immediately beamed with joy.

She had thought she would be fired today.

Not only was she not fired, but she also got an opportunity to showcase herself!

"Mr. Shawn said this verification is entirely entrusted to Maya. No one else is allowed to intervene."

Hearing this, Maya felt even more special.

Her previously cautious expression turned into one of pride.

"Give it to me before the end of the day!"

The supervisor reiterated and then returned to his office.

Maya knew this was Michael's special treatment for her. She immediately became motivated and even skipped lunch.

There were many funds to verify, along with some detailed invoices.

If there was a single mistake, she had to start over.

By the end of the day, she finally completed the verification. She was exhausted with a sore back and neck.

"Sir, here are the documents you gave me."

Seeing her come in, the supervisor straightened up. "All done?"This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

"All done."

"There won't be any mistakes, right? You know any mistake in funds will result in losses."

"Don't worry. I checked several times. There are no mistakes!"

"Then leave them here. You can go if there's nothing else."

The supervisor waited in the office until all the colleagues outside had left. Only then did he take Maya's files and come out.

He opened her computer. He did some operations and then went to Michael's office.

"Mr. Shawn, here are the documents you instructed."

Michael glanced at the files on the table. "All done?"
