,Boss, Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce, Again!
Titus didn’t answer that. Instead, he asked darkly, “Where’s Tina?” “She’s in her room,” Julia answered.
Titus squinted for a moment, then he went upstairs. His inexplicable anger was making Julia’s heart
pound with fear. Did Tina do something to get on his nerves? Worried about her daughter, Julia quickly
followed him upstairs. Titus started banging on the door once he was outside Tina’s room. The door
was opened a moment later, revealing Tina behind it.
She was in her pajamas, looking sleepy. “What is it, Dad?” The fact that she was looking sleepy only
served to fuel his anger. I was humiliated at an important meeting, while you’re just sleeping? The more
he thought about it, the angrier he was. In the end, he couldn’t hold it back anymore, and he slapped
Tina as hard as he could. Slap! Tina fell to the ground from the impact of the slap, entirely dumbstruck.
But more importantly, she didn’t know why her father was slapping her. Julia came over just in time to
see that. She screamed in horror and went up to hold Tina.
“Tina!” Tina was holding her face with one hand, staring at her furious father in confusion. Julia was
flabbergasted as well, but she was also infuriated. “Are you mad, Titus? Why’d you slap your
daughter?” “Why did I slap her, you ask? Do you have any idea what this girl did?” Titus was pointing at
Tina with a trembling finger. Tina finally got up with her mother’s help. “What? What did I do, Dad?” She
stared at her father tearfully. “Yeah, what did she do?” Julia touched Tina’s face, and she started to cry.
“Does it hurt, Tina?” Her face was already red, obviously because Titus didn’t hold back.
“Yes, it does.” Tina bit her lip, tears streaming down her cheeks. “Good!” Titus snorted. “When you told
me I’m getting the deal, I thought you slept your way into the company. Turns out I got the deal
because you switched my proposal with someone else’s.” All at once, Tina averted her gaze guiltily.
Julia was surprised too, but she shrugged Tina’s actions off quickly. “So what? That’s no big deal. Did
you have to slap her?” “It wouldn’t have been a big deal, except she didn’t do a clean job. Sure, Tom
was distracted, but there was a surveillance camera in the room.
You got caught red handed, Tina.” Titus looked at her coldly. Tina froze up. “I-I didn’t know there was a
surveillance camera in there.” “Too late for excuses. Do you have any idea how embarrassed I was
when Sonia pointed out that the proposal isn’t mine? There were more than twenty presidents in the
room. Do you know how bad this is going to be for my rep?” Titus growled. Tina stared down in fearful
silence. Julia patted Titus’ back. “It can’t be that bad, can it, honey?” “Why can’t it be? Now everyone
knows I have a daughter who tried to cheat her way through the competition. My reputation’s scarred.
The whole town’s gonna laugh at me.” Then, he pointed at Julia. “You’re gonna get dragged into this as
well. The next time you go on an outing with your friends, they’re gonna treat you like a joke.” That
finally made Julia nervous. “T-They won’t, right?” “You’ll get your answer eventually.” Titus sneered.
Julia believed her husband. And seconds later, she shot a complicated look at Tina. Tina knew Julia
was starting to blame her for this disaster as well, so she started acting the victim again. “But I did it all
for you, Dad. I wanted you to get the partnership.”
Tina’s victim act worked again, for Julia stopped blaming her. “Yeah, honey.” She nodded. “Tina’s out of
line, but she’s right.” But Titus mocked, “And that’s why she turned out this way, because you keep
defending her. She’s a cruel, dumb woman. That’s one sloppy job she did. At this rate, she’ll drag the
whole family down with her.” Tina looked at him in disbelief. “Dad?” She couldn’t believe that Titus only
thought of her as a cruel, dumb girl.
That comment fueled the deep, dark hatred within her, and her eyes turned crimson. But she couldn’t
let Titus see that, so she quickly stared down, pretending to be scared. Since his anger was getting the
better of him, Titus felt his migraine kicking in. “You’re grounded for two days. Think over what you did
during this period of time.” He massaged his temples and went downstairs to get some aspirin. After
Titus was gone, Julia went to calm Tina down. “Your father was just saying that out of anger. Don’t take
it to heart.” Tina nodded. “I want to be alone for a bit, Mom.
You should leave.” Her voice started to break. “Alright then.” Julia sighed. She was about to chastise
Titus, but when she saw him taking his aspirin, she just couldn’t bring herself to do it. Instead, she sat
down beside Titus. “Tina knows she shouldn’t have done that. Just let it slide this one time, huh?” Titus
sighed. “I’m just worried this might not be the only time. I knew it. We shouldn’t have adopted—” “Titus!”
Shocked, Julia raised her voice to stop him. “Do not speak of that.” Titus snorted. “Alright, alright.
Honestly though, Tina’s a smart girl, but she’s careless and opportunistic.
This will be problematic in the long run. I can’t leave the company to her, but luckily, we still have Rina.”
The mention of Rina made Julia shed some tears, but she wiped it away. “It’s been two days, but she
still refuses to see us. I think she’s avoiding us on purpose because she thinks we abandoned her. Why
don’t we search for her? So she knows we didn’t abandon her.” Titus nodded. “Sure. I’ll get my
assistant to post the news online.
Snap a photo of your necklace and send it to me.” “Sure!” Julia broke into a smile and agreed to it. At
the same time, Tina overheard everyone from the staircase, and she gripped the guardrail tightly. I
knew that b*tch is up to no good. She’s still not back yet, but she’s already taking away their love from
me. At this rate, she’s gonna take the company as well. I’m not letting that happen. She turned back
into her room to make a call.
“Hey, it’s me. About that person I asked you about, did you find out anything?” A man’s voice sounded
from the other end. “Not yet.” Useless trash. She stomped her foot. It’s been two days, but there’s still
no lead? Useless. “I’ll give you another two days. Fail me, and you’re getting it,” Tina threatened. After
ending the call, she put her phone down and hurriedly changed into a new set of clothes before she
went to the Fuller Group.
Now that it’s exposed, I’ll have to explain myself to Toby, or it won’t end well. When she came to the
company, Tina went toward the exclusive elevator as usual, but before she could reach it, the
receptionist stopped her. “Miss Gray, did you make any appointment with us?” Tina stared at her in
disbelief. “Appointment? Me?” “Yes.” The receptionist nodded with a smile, but she was thinking, Did
she break up with the president? Is that why she’s not allowed upstairs?
