Bye, My Ex-husband

Chapter 49: The Truth

The truth had been revealed.

After hearing Alana's story, Janessa suddenly understood why Sally had been so hard on her when she started in the company.

Sally talked behind her back and even tried to sabotage her a few times.

This had all been under Gracie's orders.

It wasn't because Janessa’s relationship with Rayan.

Her previous relationship with Gordon was a sore spot for Sally.

Because of her marriage with Rayan, Sally and Gracie had joined forces to take revenge on Janessa.

"They did all of those things to you? I can't believe I underestimated that woman!"

Janessa finished her cup of coffee in one long gulp and glared at the two women happily chatting with one another in the distance.

"They must be plotting another scheme,"

Alana commented.

"One of them is causing trouble in the company, and the other one is messing up my personal life.

It doesn't feel nice for me to see them together like this,"

Janessa replied.

Janessa could tell that Gracie and Sally were discussing ways to set her up again.

Unfortunately, their plan was doomed to fail.

Janessa had already spotted them.

They talked happily with one another without a care in the world.

Little did Sally and Gracie know that the person they were talking about was looking at them at that moment.

Their plan would surely fail.

"Don't worry about it.If that woman does anything to you, feel free to call me.I'll be there for you if you need to deal with them.That'll be a perfect opportunity to warn that woman to stay away from my brother."

At the sight of Sally, Alana was fuming with rage.

She was eager to protect her friend and her brother.

"I can handle it.These silly women’s little tricks can’t hurt me.How could a woman like that manage to stay in the company for this long?"

Janessa had never taken Sally seriously.

In her eyes, Sally was a fool who was letting herself get taken advantage of by Gracie.

However, Janessa couldn't help but feel threatened by Gracie.

Even if she were already divorced from Rayan, Gracie would never let her go.

Without too much thought, Janessa paid the bill, took her belongings, and immediately left the cafe with Alana.

Inside the cafe, Gracie was having a lovely conversation with Sally.

The moment she turned around, she saw a figure leaving the cafe in a hurry.

The woman looked like Janessa, but she wasn't sure because the figure was too far away from them at that point.

Gracie didn't pay too much attention to the woman and turned back around to face Sally.

At that moment, Sally was still talking about what had happened in the company that week because of Janessa.

Gracie couldn't help but scoff to herself as Sally ranted to her.

If Sally had only revised Janessa's plan before using it, then she wouldn't have embarrassed herself and then received a punishment in the first place.

Gracie couldn't help but wonder if Sally would ever give her away and ruin her plan because of her stupidity.

Looking back at Sally, Gracie couldn't help but worry.

However, they were in the same boat now, and they needed to stick together to have a fighting chance.

Sally wouldn't be foolish enough to betray her."Janessa needs to be taught a lesson.

What do you think? Are you with me on this? I can't stand her anymore!"Sally ranted.

She was too busy ranting to notice the shift in Gracie's expression.

"We'll find a way to punish her in the future.By the way, are you aware that the young master of the Shen family is ill? I heard that he's been resting at home for some time now,"Gracie mentioned when

she recalled the information.

Immediately after, she covered her mouth as if she had said something wrong.

She nervously looked around to see if anyone had overheard them.

"What are you talking about? Gordon's sick? Do you know what sickness he has? Is it serious? Does that mean that he's bedridden?"

The moment she heard the news, Sally couldn't sit still a moment longer.

She gripped Gracie's hand tightly as she pressed Gracie for more information.

The last time she had seen Gordon, he was in good health.

How could he have gotten ill? "I'm only mentioning this to you for the sake of our friendship.You can't tell anybody that you heard the news from me.If you do, I won't be able to tell you anything else in the future,"

Gracie warned.

She wanted Sally to trust her, which was why she was willing to reveal this information.

But if Sally were to give her away, Gracie wouldn't tell her anything about Gordon in the future.

By doing this, Gracie could also get herself out of trouble even if Sally did something stupid later. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

"I know what's at stake.I promise not to tell anyone.If someone were to ask me, I'll tell them that I heard it from someone else.I won't mention your name.You don't have anything to worry about,"

Sally promised.

When Gracie was certain that she could trust Sally, she began slowly, "I heard the news from my friend.

Rich people all have a family doctor that works closely with their family.

The doctor of the Shen family is my senior, and he's also a friend of mine.

He accidentally revealed the information to me.

You can't tell anybody that you found out from me,"

Gracie warned one last time.

"The last time Gordon was out shopping with Janessa, she left him all alone at the mall.It was cold that day, so maybe he got sick on the way home.I'm sure he's fine resting at home right now."

"Are you telling me that he got sick because he was out with Janessa? The two of them went shopping, and now Gordon is sick.I can't believe that woman! She keeps causing problems for me! I refuse to let her go this easy because of everything she has done to hurt Gordon!"Sally gripped the tablecloth so tightly that she ripped a hole in it.

"Sally, this isn't the right time to be impulsive.We have to make sure that the timing is right.

She's still working in the same department as you.We'll have another opportunity to deal with her in the future.There's no need for us to rush,"

Gracie reasoned.

"No! I can't wait a moment longer! I won't stand by and watch that woman hurt Gordon! I have to do something about it!"

Hatred flared in Sally's eyes as the image of Janessa and Gordon together played out in her mind.

"Has anything special happened in the company recently? Is there anything else we could do aside from what we planned?"

Gracie asked.

She was concerned about any developments between Janessa and Rayan during work hours.

If Janessa and Rayan were to gradually fall for each other while working together, then everything Gracie had done would be in vain.

"Not that I know.A few days ago, Janessa was summoned to the CEO's office to work with him.She's been there these few days.However, I don't think she came there to work.Janessa looked like she was trying to seduce the CEO while she was there! I'm telling you, she's just a shameless bitch!"

On the outside, Gracie kept her composure, but fury and jealousy raged inside of her.

Janessa had been working with Rayan on the same floor for a few days now.

She imagined that they needed to work together at the same table sometimes.

"How long was she at his office?"Gracie questioned.

"She was back to her usual spot in a few days.I don't think the CEO was fond of her.If he liked her, after working with her for a few days, their relationships would've gotten better, right? I'm not sure though, Rayan and Janessa_ might collaborate on another project together," Sally reported.

"If you see something fishy, make sure to tell me.I can't watch over Janessa's every move.Sally, I need your help with this.In return, I'll find an opportunity for you to meet with Gordon,"

Gracie appealed to Sally.

She wanted to make sure that Sally stood by her side.

If Sally did everything she asked of her, Gracie would make sure she got what she wanted.

"You don't need to worry about that.I'll let you know immediately if I see something."
