After the divorce female CEO - Season 1 Episode 35

Rena stood frozen, her heart sinking.

Eloise, with a pale face, repeated the words. “Your father committed suicide! They managed to save him, but he’s in critical condition. Rena, please help me see him. He’s always been frail, and this incident has hit him hard.” 1

After being frozen in place for a moment, Eloise covered her face and wept, her grief evident.

Rena’s mind was in turmoil as she stood still in front of the crying woman as she listened to the pained cries echoing through the room. She couldn’t accept the idea that her father had taken his own life. He seemed fine when she last saw him! As she snapped out of her thoughts, she immediately called Hyatt, desperately pleading for his help to visit Darren.

Hyatt, already aware of the situation, arranged a meeting with Rena at his office.

Without even having breakfast, Rena accompanied Eloise to Hyatt’s office. She was too distressed to be able to think of filling her stomach at that moment.

Hyatt wore a grave expression as he made several phone calls in front of Rena and Eloise.

Finally, he hung up the phone and shook his head. “Darren is stable, but he can’t be released on bail. He needs to undergo treatment in the detention center.”

Knowing the fact that his son was into Rena, Hyatt chose his words carefully. “Rena, your father’s case has connections to the Moore Group. You can try approaching Mr. Moore and see if he

can offer any assistance.”

Harold! She took in a deep breath as she tried to process the words she just heard.

After that, Rena suddenly closed her eyes in anguish. She should have known that Harold was behind all this! He had done so many cruel things to force her back to him.

After what just transpired, how could he think that she would happily welcome him with open arms?

If she became his mistress, her father would be furious, even if he was bailed out. But if Rena didn’t comply, what would happen to her father and Eloise? Was she destined to watch her family

crumble?

Rena sat there, her body tense. She wore a shocked expression on her face as she tried to process every bit of information she had learned at that moment.

Glancing worriedly at her, Hyatt handed a glass of water and murmured, “Why not ask Waylen for help with the case? Tyrone mentioned that the two of you had grown close.”

Rena cast her eyes downward.

For a while, she remained that way without uttering a single word. Being as perceptive as he was, Hyatt continued in a gentle tone, “He isn’t as indifferent as he seems. He has shown interest in the documents regarding…”

He abruptly halted, remembering what Waylen had confided in him.

If Waylen had changed his mind, Rena would only feel more disheartened.

Nodding in response to the suggestion, Rena left.

Then, she started on contemplating on whether she should call

the man or not. After all, she had turned him down just the night before. Would he be willing to help her if she reached out now?

She let out another sigh, her eyes filled with uncertainty as she stared at the screen of her phone.

For her father’s sake, she must summon the courage to make the call. To her dismay, his phone was switched off.

Rena felt a surge of despair. She had no idea what she should do right now.

Her brows suddenly furrowed as something came to her. Where was Eloise?

Rena assumed she had gone to the restroom, but she found no sign of her there.

Unease gnawed at her as she started to hastily dial Eloise’s number.

Unfortunately, there was no response either.

A sudden thought struck Rena, her eyes suddenly widening in fear as she sprinted towards the elevator, relentlessly pressing the button. Trembling, she stood inside the elevator and impatiently tapped her foot.

She closed her eyes, silently hoping that her suspicions weren’t true. As the elevator lifted her up, she continued praying fervently that Eloise hadn’t acted impulsively.

But Rena was too late. Upon reaching the CEO’s office of the Moore Group, chaos unfolded before her.

Harold/leaned against the desk, clutching his abdomen with blood oozing through his fingers.

The sight was horrifying.

Eloise gripped a fruit knife tightly, her words unintelligible to

Rena.

With a trembling voice, Rena walked forward in slow, careful steps. She called out, “Eloise!”

Eloise muttered, “If I kill Harold, he won’t be able to hurt Darren and you anymore. Rena, I’ve warned you countless times that he’s not suitable for you.”

Rena wept, stepping forward to embrace Eloise gently.

“Eloise, don’t be afraid I’m here!”

Harold covered his wound, blood staining his hand.

The secretary attempted to offer basic aid, but he pushed her away and confronted Rena with gritted teeth. “Can’t you see I’m bleeding? Rena, you couldn’t care less whether I’m alive or dead, could you?”
