My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back

Chapter 15

In Levine Group’s employee gossip group chat, a secondary account with the name

Astaroth sent a mess. “Breaking news! Our CEO’s mother has requested him to go

home and have dinner. We don’t have to work overtime today! H o oray!”

Instantly, everyone’s replies flooded the group chat, as it was a piece of news worth celebrating.

“Astaroth, is your source reliable?”

“I don’t want to get all excited for nothing!”

“Mr. Levine has been harsh on us. I’ve lost count on the days I’ve been working till midnight.

“We really have to thank Mr. Levine’s mother!”

One could feel the complaints, joy, and gratitude from the employees in the group

chat.

That day, it seemed like the usual company meeting was progressing at a much faster pace.

Besides that, the female employees of the company were whispering among themselves, “Don’t you

think Mr. Levine looks more handsome today?”

While looking at his employees’ love-struck expressions, Christopher shook his head. and thought, “It

seems like I’ve pushed them too hard recently.”

However, those that successfully entered Levine Group were capable. Although working in the

company was tough, they knew their boss was s generous.

All the employees would smile joyfully whenever a bonus was distributed.

The employees waited and waited. And finally, it was time to get off work.

Everyone continued to stay in their working space, pretending to be hard at work. At the same time,

they secretly peeked at the back of their CEO, who was on his way out.

When the elevator door closed, everyone could no longer hold back their happiness. Some even

clapped to celebrate the moment. They thought in unison, “Our hardships are finally over.”

Before returning to the Levine manor, Christopher decided to buy some stuff. All along, he was a

decisive person. However, he found himself in a difficult situation.

Christopher pondered, “Grandpa, Mom, and my nanny are people closest to me. I can’t,

believe I don’t know what they like. Previously, Katherine was the one who prepared the gifts. That

woman usually takes note of everybody’s liking. It seems like she isn’t as useless as I thought.”

At that moment, Christopher did not notice the corner of his lips had risen into a beautiful smile.

It was still early when he reached home.

Thus, he went to the study to play chess with his grandpa. The two had finally reconciled.

Maxwell broke the silence because he knew his grandson had a reserved character. “Is everything in

the company settled?”

“Yes. The company has overcome the crisis. Besides that, all of our core businesses are back on track.

However, there is something from the past that’s been troubling me. It’s the grudges between our

family and the Sullivan family from Dellmoor,” replied Christopher casually as he took a white chess

piece and stared at the elder in front of

him.

Upon hearing that, Maxwell, who was about to place his chess piece, froze. He lifted his head and

looked at his grandson. “What is our chance of winning

Christopher did not dare to keep anything a secret from Maxwell. He honestly spilled everything he

knew to his grandfather. “According to the information we have, the Sullivan family has been searching

on Inferno and is planning to enlist their help.”

After a brief pause, he continued, “Levine Group has Earna. If our opponent cannot find Inferno, we will

have an eighty percent chance of winning. However, if they are lucky enough to find Inferno, we will

only have a fifty percent chance of winning.

The more Maxwell thought about the situation, the more excited he got. “Is Inferno that capable?”

“Rumor has it that Inferno is actually a duo. Although the two are professionals in the field, they keep a

low profile and do things in secret.”

Everyone in the industry knew that Maxwell cherished talented people. Back then, he was the person

who thought of many ways to get Earna to work under the Levine Group.

Maxwell said flatly, “It’s rare to have people with such capabilities. You have to figure something out to

make Inferno work for us.”

Just then, Lilian asked them to go to the dining room for dinner.

As Christopher and Maxwell had already spoken in the study, the atmosphere in the dining room was

great and lively.

Lilian kept placing stuff on her grandson’s plate and treated the others as if they did not exist.

Upon seeing that, Maxwell felt upset as jealousy arose within him. He thought, “I still can’t get used to

Lilian pampering Christopher.”

Maxwell noticed that Lilian did not have the intention to stop. He could not help but say, “Hey, Lilian, he

is not a three-year-old child anymore. Is it necessary for you to treat him this way?”

Unfortunately, Lilian was not an easy target. She was not planning to start an argument with her

husband, but now that he was picking a fight with her, she was not one to back. down either.

“How dare you say that? If it weren’t for you, my dear grandson wouldn’t have to suffer for so long. For

the past few days, he didn’t even get the chance to sleep and eat well. Look at him! He is already

skinnier than before.”

The old couple had loved each other for a lifetime, but they also quarreled for a lifetime.

Again, Maxwell scoffed. “You are a soft-hearted woman. Don’t you know that he has to undergo these

hardships because of your doting and pampering?”

Heather noticed the tense atmosphere in the room. Quickly, she stepped up to smooth things over.

“Dad, Mom, this brat is at fault. I’m sure the punishment will benefit him in the future. Christopher,

quick, say thank you to your grandparents. They have been so worried about you to the point they

haven’t been eating or sleeping well recently.”

At last, they could finally enjoy their meal.

Sadly, the harmonious scene did not last long. Lilian felt emotional when she realized that Katherine,

who would usually join for a family feast, was not around.

“Christopher, don’t you have any news about Katherine?” asked Lilian.

Seeing how her grandson was reluctant to answer and merely remained silent, Lilian added, “It seems

you’ve hurt her too much. I guess she deliberately avoided us so we couldn’t find her!”

The other three kept quiet at Lilian’s question as they continued swallowing their food.

They thought in unison, “It has been some time since we have eaten together. Please don’t make a

scene.”

Meanwhile, Kimberly had an important online international conference to attend. Hence, she had to get

off work later. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Kimberly sent the address to Olivia and asked the latter to go to the venue first. She would then meet

up with Olivia.

On normal days, Olivia would wear formal office attire and hide her perfect body.

However, that day, she purposely changed into a short bodycon dress and paired it with a pair of

stiletto heels.

Immediately after appearing in the venue, she became the center of attention.

Vincent was one of the people who were enthralled by her appearance.

He had seen many women of average looks. Olivia, who was se xy and innocent- looking, was to his

taste.

When Olivia entered the place, it was as if he had seen prey. Immediately, Vincent picked up a wine

glass and walked toward her.

Noticing that danger was closing in, Olivia remained expressionless. She pretended as she did not

realize Vincent was approaching her..

At that, Olivia successfully triggered the man’s desire to conquer.

Vincent thought, “I might not be the most handsome person in the country. However, I’m confident that

I’m considered good-looking.”

“Miss, are you drinking alone?” asked Vincent. Olivia did not even raise her head. She scolded him

inwardly, “I can’t believe his pick-up line is so old-fashioned.”

“I’m waiting for someone,” replied Olivia as she tried to keep her responses as curt as possible.

As expected, Vincent was a man who thought it was worth dying for a gorgeous girl.

It was apparent that Vincent did not get Olivia’s signals and continued to flirt with her.

As Olivia had enough of him, she took her wine glass and went elsewhere.

To her surprise, Vincent was not going to give up as he followed her shamelessly.

What happened next could only be described as a tragedy.
