Remarried After I Secretly Divorced the CEO novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138

During lunch, Selena leaned over and asked Autumn, “Autumn, what was that thing you wanted me to join?”

After being fooled by that scumbag for so long, coming home and feeling the warmth of her family again had lifted her spirits.

She remembered Autumn mentioning something about striking it rich and figured she’d ask-who knew, maybe she could get rich alongside her best friend.

Autumn lowered her voice. “My senior has a project and he’s looking for investors. I spoke to him about it yesterday.

“If you’re willing to put in some capital, you can become a shareholder in Vanguard. You’d handle the finances. What do you think?”

She knew Selena had saved up a decent amount over the years.

With a little extra help from her, there’d be no issue.

Selena nodded without hesitation. “Absolutely. I’ve been wanting to do something like this for ages. This is the perfect opportunity. I’m not missing it.

“Autumn, you really are my lucky star. I was just wondering what to do next, and now you’ve sorted it all out. I love you for this.”

After cutting ties with that jerk, she was determined to live better.

Her parents hadn’t even questioned her-they just handed her a sum of money and told her to go build something for herself. (1)

Ethan extended a hand and smiled. “Welcome to Vanguard.”

Selena shook his hand, eyes glistening with emotion.

“Thank you. Both of you. I don’t know what I would’ve done without your help.”

Autumn gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. “Just do your best at Vanguard. That’s the best way you can thank us.”

Then she turned and found herself meeting Keith’s deep gaze.

It felt like he could see right through her.

Why did that feel oddly embarrassing?

After lunch, everyone slowly began to head out.

Autumn stayed behind until the evening.

She spent time sorting through her mother’s belongings one by one.

In the process, she found a journal filled with old papers tucked between the pages.

She went through them one by one.

Turned out they were bits and pieces of evidence her mother had collected back when her uncle was falsely accused.

The documents weren’t enough to take down the Far family just yet, but they were a start.

She tucked them into her bag. They might be useful in the future-evidence to bring the Fars down.

That bloodsucking family wasn’t getting away with anything.

By the time she got home, it was already eight.

The moment she walked through the door, she saw Grace’s name flashing on her phone.

Without a second thought, she hung up and immediately blocked the number.

Selena moved quickly-within two days, she had already invested and officially joined the team.

She adjusted her mindset fast and slipped right into work mode.

Soon after, Ethan held a two-hour-long meeting centered on the research paper Autumn had written.

The previous project had just secured funding, and the next one was already moving full speed ahead.
