My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back

Chapter 55

Whitney felt like she was in purgatory in Norham.

She kept getting threatening phone calls.

She almost had a nervous breakdown.

Fear had diluted her guilt for Larson Corporation.

She decided to do it.

There was a saying, “Better dead than alive.”

Jonah Finch, a staff from Larson Corporation’s design department, heard his phone ring.

He checked it and saw that there was no caller ID, but he was all too familiar with the phone number.

He felt nervous as he wondered, ‘Didn’t Whitney go to Norham? Why would she call me?’

He had a bad feeling.

He did not want to answer it but was scared to do so.

He finally picked up the phone, avoided the crowd, and went to the stairwell.

He said in a low voice, “Ms. Larson, how can I help you?”

Whitney was confident in Jonah, who was one of the few people she could control.

“Listen to me. Please help me get the company’s design draft competing for LOVE’s exclusive

distribution right in two days.”

Whitney said her request commandingly.

Hearing Whitney’s words, Jonah broke out in a sweat.

He dared not promise something he could not do. Instead, he wanted to persuade

He thought that Whitney was taking revenge on Kimberly for the plagiarism.

difficult.

“Ms. Larson, why can’t you move on? You know it’s not a small deal and is Larson Corporation has

been completely reshuffled, and everyone is loyal to it. If I act rashly, they’ll easily find out it’s us.”

Whitney understood Jonah’s rejection. She honestly did not want to do it either.

Her main concern was that others would not spare her if she spared Jonah.

“I don’t care. If you don’t get me the design draft by tomorrow noon, I’ll expose your dirty secrets. You

must remember that we’re in the same boat. We’ll stay afloat or sink together.

Whitney believed in Jonah’s abilities.

The last time she plagiarized Genevieve’s work, it was he who erased it.

It was just that Kimberly had somehow found a top expert to restore it.

If she was careful this time, there should be no problem.

Jonah was blackmailed because he had a severe gambling addiction, even though he was talented,

computer-savvy, and good at designing.

He enjoyed trading futures and was an aggressive investor.

Some time ago, the market was bad, and he topped up. Eventually, his future was liquidated, and he

owed a huge debt.

Whitney found out about it by chance and settled his debt.

From then on, he lost his freedom and became Whitney’s tool.

Jonah, on the other end of the line, regretted it. Whitney was a time bomb that would blow him up

sooner or later.

Jonah wondered why Whitney and Kimberly were so different when they were from the same family.

He had a headache. He wondered if she would ask him to kill someone and commit arson tomorrow

since she asked him to steal the design today.

He tried to persuade her to change her mind tentatively, “Ms. Larson, can you give me another task?

This won’t do you or the Larson Corporation any good. It’s not a big deal if I get caught and lose my

job. I’ll be put in jail for a few years at most. I’m a nobody, so it’s nothing.”

Jonah added, “But you’re different. You’re the heiress of Larson Corporation. Why take the risk to do

such a thing just to vent your fury? Knowing Ms. Kimberly Larson and Mr. Larson’s temper, it’ll be too

late to regret it when you’re exposed!”

Jonah went to a lot of trouble to dissuade Whitney.

During their contact, he could tell that the girl was just spoiled.

She was not a bad person.

He was worried that she would harm Larson Corporation because she was upset.

Whitney was losing her patience on the other end of the line. She did not want to hear Jonah lecture

her.

She interrupted directly, “Cut the cra p. I understand everything you said. Anyway, I must do this. If you

have the time to talk nonsense, why don’t you think about how to get the design draft?”

After saying that, she hung up the phone. She was afraid that she would eventually be convinced.

Then, she made another call to Ivy.

With years of reading countless people and her extraordinary mind-reading skills, Ivy was confident

that Whitney would do it.

She was betting on Whitney’s fear.

It seemed that Ivy was right again this time.

Speaking of the devil….

“Hello? Whitney, what did you say? Have you agreed to hand over the design draft?”

Ivy deliberately pretended to be harmless and then kept brainwashing Whitney to stay firm with her

choice.

“Since it has already happened, don’t overthink it. Just endure it for a few more days. Once this blows

over, you can live glamorously again.”

Whitney also wanted to live a normal life. After this period of torture, she felt that she would soon be

admitted to a psychiatric hospital.

She also realized that she could not do too many bad things in the future. It was karma, and one thing

led to another.

However, since she had fallen into Ivy’s trap, she had lost the chance to make amends.

She was the typical gullible person.

It was pathetic.

After answering the phone, Ivy was so elated.

As lunchtime approached, she went to Christopher’s office to ask him out for lunch.

Although she had come back, she could tell that Christopher was indifferent to her.

She would not get a chance to spend time with him alone if she did not find an opportunity to do so.

She was also baffled whenever she thought of this.

Christopher treated her differently. He would try his best to give her whatever she wanted.

However, he seemed to deliberately not overdo it.

Especially the last time she mentioned that she wanted to stay in Osimor Residence, he obviously

hesitated and resisted.

“Christopher, let’s have lunch together and discuss LOVE’s exclusive distribution right.”

Ivy said happily. Even her eyes were glimmering with joy.

Seeing that Christopher seemed unmoved, she added hastily so that he could not refuse.

“Let’s take it as a welcoming meal for my return and celebrate my first employment.” NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Hearing this, Christopher was momentarily stunned before smiling gently.

To be fair, the girl was enthusiastic about work and got along well with everyone.

As her boss, he should do something.

Once Ivy finished speaking, Christopher got up and said indifferently, “Are you hungry? Let’s go. You

can have whatever you feel like eating today.”

Hearing this, Ivy’s smile widened as her heart seemed to fill with joy.
