Loveless Marriage

"I won't hold up your work no matter where work. Just work hard."

Christian kept walking forward and quickly apart from Lexie Ford. The woman bit her lower lip and unwillingly followed him again with quick steps.

"Christian, Did... Did you see the news online this morning?

"

"Steven will tell me about the news later, if there's nothing else, just mind your business." Without looking at her, the man pushed open the door and went in.

"Christian..." Lexie had only spat out one word when she was stopped by the sound of the man closing the door.

She was stunned and immediately revealed a resentful expression.

Steven happened to be walking over with a document in hand. Seeing her, he politely smiled, "Miss Perez."

Just as he was about to knock on the door, Lexie Ford suddenly pulled his arm towards a corner and asked, "Didn't Miller come to the company this morning? What are you doing out here in the morning again?"

Steven glanced at the clothes she was pulling, he slightly frowned, and calmly brushed her hand away and smiled, "Miss Perez, how would I know where did he go this morning? I didn't follow him." "Aren't you his secretary? You didn't arrange his itinerary? " Lexie's gaze turned cold.

Steven's expression did not change, "I'm only arranging his schedule for work, I have no right to ask him about Christian's private matters. If Miss Perez wants to know, you can ask him." With that, he politely nodded his head and was about to leave.

Lexie narrowed her eyes and suddenly stopped him. She pursed her red lips and asked in a low voice, "Has he found out about Isabella over there in Benton Technology Technology?"

She didn't feel that how stupid Steven ahead of him was. Having worked with Benton for so many years, she had already been taken over soon after she left. She was completely sure that he knew about Isabella's existence.

Steven raised his eyes to look at her, and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Isn't publishing news online just for people to see? Even Miss Perez can see it, why can't."

Lexie relaxed a little in her heart, and a sliver of disdain appeared between her brows. She smiled lightly, "Truly, a person cannot judge a book by its cover. Normally, I wouldn't be able to tell that she is this kind of person."

Steven's expression did not change as he smiled, "Miss Perez, Christian still has something he needs me for, I'll be going first."

Saying that he walked around her and headed towards the office.

Joy flashed past Lexie's eyes, she smiled slightly, turned and walked away leisurely.

After Steven finished reporting, he looked at the man behind the desk and respectfully said, "Miss Cotton of Benton's marketing department takes over Miss Jones' project, and she said that she wants to meet you."

"Nope." Christian didn't even raise his head.

Steven nodded, "OK."

Just as he turned around and took a step, the man's clear voice suddenly sounded again, "Find some time to meet Mr. Smith."

Steven was startled, "Oh, okay. I'll immediately go arrange it."

Then, he thought of something and asked carefully, "Do you need me to look for the Public Relations Department to deal with the drafts between you and Miss Jones online?"

His boss was still very concerned about Miss Jones. With such a blatant slander and his position were suspended, how could he not be moved?

"No need." Christian replied indifferently.

Steven did not speak further, nodded, and left.

The door closed, and the man's cell phone rang.

Christian swept a glance at it, picked it up and placed it beside his ear, "Hey, Mom."

"You've returned to Brighton?" Although Mallory was doubtful, her tone was firm. "Yes." Christian didn't deny it.

"It's for that woman again?" The voice of the Mallory was filled with anger.

Christian frowned. "I'm busy. I'll explain this to you when I get back."

"What else is there to explain?" "For her, you don't even care about work anymore. Where did you put Polygon Group and where did you put your father?" Christian's handsome face turned cold, and his breath went cold, "Mom, do you think that a person of my age cannot handle work and personal matters?"

"If you could handle it well, you wouldn't have suddenly moved your work to Brighton. Haven't you done enough work to reverse the situation recently? Mallory was enraged, she wanted to stand in front of him and point at his nose and criticize him, "That woman has now disturbed your mind, making you completely disregard everything, even your mother's words of persuasion can't reach her ears."

Christian frowned. With a deep voice, he said, "The next few months are rather important. I won't leave her alone. You don't have to worry about the company."

"Christian!" Mallory became even angrier, and immediately shouted out his name, "Are you trying to anger me to death? Didn't you see those articles online? There are so many men around her. Don't you still understand? Her children aren't yours at all! "

Christian's handsome face became even colder as he said in a bland voice, "It's not like what you saw, it's all false information. I've already ordered someone to deal with it, if someone told you anything, I hope you still can discern them."

"Am I right or wrong? "I'm not crazy yet. I know very well who that woman is. You're the one who got fooled into a daze." Mrs. Christian's sharp and harsh words made one feel her fury at this moment.

It wasn't just because of the news online, but also because his son of so many years was arguing with her over an outsider. He didn't go back to Brighton for the sake of Polygon Group, nor her mother, but actually for the sake of those two unknown children.

How angry she was right now was enough to make her chills go down her spine.

Christian's face was a little cold, but his tone was not gentle nor was he angry, and did not argue with her. He said indifferently, "Whether she lied to me, I know this myself, but you, don't be angry with me and use the money to help me."

He lowered his head to open the document in front of him and said, "I still have work to do. If you have nothing else to do, I will hang up first."

Without waiting for a reply, he closed his phone and put it to the side. The expression in his eyes turned darker.

The misunderstanding towards Isabella on his mother's side was deeper than he had imagined.

As he was lost in thought, the man's mind was pulled back to reality by the rapid vibrations on his cell phone.

He glanced at the phone before pressing the button and said, "Hello?"

"Christian, the personal account of Jafari's wife has recently been transferred into a large amount of money." "From where?" Christian focused his eyes.

As the executive of Polygon Group, Jafari's account was transparent inside the company. As long as the

accounts were incorrect, it would be very easy to find out. The money he had collected over the years was abte to escape his eyes, and it was clear that he had his own methods.

Canon, "It's an anonymous transfer, I checked that account, which is under Lexie's name."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
