Chapter: 1035
Alexis was well protected and supported.
People noticed a remarkable change in Rena, the former Mrs. Fowler. Instead of feeling saddened or defeated, she appeared even more vibrant and energetic than ever before.
The elegant banquet came to an end.
In the hotel lobby, the crystal lights glimmered, casting a soft glow on Rena.
She walked alongside Hector, discussing company matters.
The night air still carried a cool breeze even though it was already April, prompting Hector to gracefully drape the shawl over Rena’s shoulders, saying, “It’s a little chilly. Please put this on.”
Rena smiled warmly. “Thank you. Now, where were we?”
Hector returned the smile. “We were discussing the development program in the south.”
With a thoughtful look, Rena nodded, “Ah, yes. That’s a crucial project for the company. Next month I’ll go for an inspection, and you’ll join me.”
Hector’s heart skipped a beat.
He admired her for both her brilliance and kindness.
Rena was truly a remarkable woman.
Before Rena could speak further, Waylen emerged from the car that had come to pick her up.
Waylen had been waiting inside the car for quite some time.
As a man, he could easily discern the admiration in Hector’s eyes. It left him feeling disheartened. After all, he was the one who had introduced Hector to Rena.
Seeing Waylen, Rena remain unfazed.
She bid Hector farewell and got into the car, followed by Waylen.
Anxiously, Waylen blurted, “It’s not what you think. | don’t have feelings for her.”
Deep down, he never intended to marry anyone else. His fling with the actress was simply to provoke a reaction from Rena.
To his surprise, Rena showed no concern.
She rolled down the window with a playful smile. “Our relationship now doesn’t really leave room for such concerns. Whether it’s true or not, Mr. Fowler, if you ever decide to marry again, I’ll send you a grand gift.”
Waylen was furious at her magnanimity.
