After that day, Garrett no longer dared approach me directly. He just silently followed Julian and me everywhere.
Sometimes when Julian couldn't stand it anymore, he'd send security to rough Garrett up.
But Garrett seemed soulless, accepting the blows without resistance.
Then he'd stagger to me with vacant eyes. "Rylee, does this make you feel better?"
I would take Julian's hand and walk away, not bothering to respond.
After our honeymoon, I officially became the Marketing Director at Hayes Industries.
My only goal: aggressively capturing Montgomery Corporation's market share across the country.
I targeted every project Garrett was involved with.
Within just three months, I'd snatched dozens of deals from Montgomery Corp.
Meanwhile, Garrett was entangled with Daphne and Phoebe, unable to focus on business.
Montgomery Corporation's finances spiraled downward.
Unable to bear it any longer, Garrett's parents came to Hayes Industries to see me personally.
These people who once looked down on me now bowed and scraped:
"Rylee, we were family once."
"Garrett just made mistakes that all men make. He truly loves you. Please stop targeting our company. Have mercy on us."
I laughed mockingly. "Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery, business doesn't run on sentiment."
"Isn't that exactly what you told me when I married into your family, when you handed me that prenup to sign away my rights to any assets?"
"You're business people. I'm a business person now too."
"As experienced professionals, I'm sure you understand where I'm coming from."
After hearing my words, Garrett's parents left in disgrace.
But I didn't stop. As Montgomery Corp's shares plummeted, I continued buying them up.
By the time Garrett chaired the next shareholders' meeting, I was sitting across from him.
He stared at me lovingly, seemingly forgetting how to speak.
While Daphne and Phoebe sat on either side of him, glaring at me venomously.
I noticed Phoebe's slightly swollen belly and smirked.
Garrett kept staring, saying nothing.
I coldly reminded him, "Mr. Montgomery, please report on your company's current cash flow situation."
He pressed his lips together, and under the predatory stares of other shareholders, finally tore his gaze from my face.
After the meeting, Garrett grabbed my arm. "Rylee, can I take you to dinner?"
Afraid I'd refuse, he quickly added, "Your favorite restaurant just added some new dishes."
Before I could respond, Phoebe suddenly cried out from behind him: "Ow! Garrett, my belly hurts!"
Garrett turned and slapped her hard. "If your belly hurts, see a doctor! What the hell do you expect me to do about it?"
Phoebe whimpered, "I think the baby's coming. Will you take me to the hospital?"
Daphne kept glaring daggers at me. "Isn't it ironic? You divorce Garrett only to snag Boston's richest bachelor on your second marriage?"
"Seems us 'side pieces' could learn a thing or two from the seemingly innocent Mrs. Hayes."
I smiled thinly at Garrett. "I'll have dinner with you."
"But I have one condition."
Garrett eagerly replied, "Name it. I'll do anything."
I pointed at Daphne. "She serves us—pours our water, brings our food."
Daphne immediately shrieked, "No fucking way! Who do you think you are to order me around?"
Garrett slapped Daphne across the face. "Who the hell do YOU think you are to speak to Rylee like that?"
"You two are nothing but my playthings."
"Don't think you've moved up in the world just because Rylee's not by my side. She's the only wife I'll ever acknowledge."
When we arrived at the restaurant, Julian was already waiting.
He smiled and took my hand. "Tough day?"
I shook my head and hugged him. "Not at all."
He pulled out my chair with practiced ease.
Garrett followed, his expression darkening. He smiled bitterly. "I thought you'd dine with me alone."
I raised an eyebrow. "I'm a married woman. I wouldn't be so inappropriate as to dine alone with another man."
Garrett choked, realizing I was mocking his past behavior.
Just as we began eating, Phoebe suddenly clutched her belly. "Garrett, the baby's coming NOW!"
Sometimes when Julian couldn't stand it anymore, he'd send security to rough Garrett up.
