Abe and Bonita were discussing how to deal with it, but they didn't know that it had already stirred up a sensation outside at the moment.
These magazines were the best-selling magazines in the city. This incident had been known to everyone in just one morning.
Although they didn't know whether this matter was true or not, it didn't affect others to watch the fun in the slightest.
Those who had contact with Mingyang Corp., Bonita and Abe were all shocked at this moment.
"Mr. Zhang, what should we do? Now that something like this had happened, will Bonita still defend Abe?'
At Meizi Beauty Makeup Company, the secretary said with a worried look, while Harden sat on the sofa with a calm face, pondering quietly.
"Don't act rashly. Wait and see this matter's change. I don't think this is that simple."
At Jade Pavilion, the lead clerk looked at the news in the magazine with a disdainful face.
"I thought he was a fat cat. Unexpectedly, he is a just a toy boy who lives off a woman. Queenie, read carefully about this. You think such a person will remember you?"
Thad also had a tangled look. Looking at these gossips, he regretted that he sold "Purple Heart" at a discount.
At this time, in a luxurious clubhouse, Dale and a group of middle-aged men with big bellies were happily gathering together.
Opposite them, the one with an arrogant face was Bonita's younger brother, Zack.
"Ha-ha, Mr. Shen, Mr. Chen, what do you think? Are you satisfied?"
A cheesy middle-aged man said with a flattering smile, and respectfully toasted Zack and Dale.
"Yes, you did a good job. This time, I must let that baster and that bitch taste the feeling of being laughed at."
Zack drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and growled in a low voice.
Previously at the whitening and anti-aging factor project, Zack was driven out by Abe and Bonita, and it was widely spread in a short time.
This made Zack who attached great importance to fame couldn't lift his head at all in front of his friends, and was even mocked for a long time.
This time, he was very satisfied with Dale's trick.
He could almost see the pale faces of Abe and Bonita at the moment.
"Hmph, this is the first step. If Abe dared to go against me, I will definitely not make it easy for him."
Dale also had a gloomy face.
"Ha-ha, Mr. Chen, Mr. Shen, then wish your plan a success. Don't forget us by then."
...
The gossip of Abe and Bonita spread throughout the city in no time.
Helen inevitably heard these gossips as well.
When she saw how intimate Bonita was with Abe, her heart suddenly ached.
She thought that her love for Abe had faded away, but when she saw him being intimate with another woman, she still felt a heartache.
But at this moment, Helen's phone rang.
"Hello, Helen, you've read that news, right? How could Abe do that? Has he forgotten that he is a married man? Go ask him for an explanation. If he couldn't explain it, you will divorce him and let him give up all your joint property!"
As soon as Helen got on the phone, Mrs. Xie's hysterical roar came from the other end.
"Mom, can you lower your voice? Nobody even knows if this thing is true or not!"
Helen stroked her forehead instantly, and her tone was a little tired.
"How can it be false? The photos are already right before your eyes. This time, you have to divorce him. You must let him give up all your joint property. I'd like to see how much money he can make as a toy boy."
Mrs. Xie's words were full of greed.
Helen didn't want to listen to her at all, so she hung up the phone directly.
"Ms. Xie, the time to negotiate the contract with Mingyang Corp. is coming up."
...
In Mingyang Corp..
This was the second time Helen came here so solemnly.
Last time, she came to participate in the open bidding meeting, and then Yueji Cosmetic Corp. won the cooperation quota of the whitening and anti-aging factor project.
But this time was different. Helen's mood was very complicated, and she was hesitant.
But she knew that this meeting would decide the future of Yueji Cosmetic Corp..
It was all up to her whether to survive and take advantage of the chance to develop or to be annihilated.
"Ms. Xie, Mr. Chou has been waiting for you for a long time."
Just when Helen was distracted, an elegant voice rang softly.
Helen fixed her eyes on her and recognized that it was Abe's assistant, Elva.
Helen nodded to her, and was directly led to Abe's office by her.
Seeing Abe, Helen was panicked for a moment.
The Abe in front of her was completely unlike the Abe who had been in the Xie family for the previous three years.
The previous Abe was gloomy and dull, and Helen couldn't see a trace of hope in him.
But at this time, Abe was shining like the sun.
"You're here."
Before Helen could speak, Abe broke the silence and led her to sit across the desk.
"This is the contract I've re-drafted. You can read it now. If you have any objections, you can bring them up directly."
Abe didn't procrastinate at all, and directly handed Helen the newly drawn contract. In this contract, Mingyang Corp. cut profit in favor of her. It could be regarded as Abe had selfish motives and wanted to help her.
"You……"
Helen wanted to say something else, but when she met Abe's gaze, she swallowed what she was going to say.
The redrafted contract had a very detailed division of the cooperation between Yueji Cosmetic Corp. and Mingyang Corp. on the whitening and anti-aging factor project.
The responsibilities and obligations of both parties were clearly written on it, and they made a huge space for Yueji Cosmetic Corp. to choose.
The more Helen read it, the more excited she was.
Regardless of all external factors, this contract alone was undoubtedly a huge surprise for Yueji Cosmetic Corp..
But this surprise stayed in Helen's heart for a moment. Then she immediately woke up to reality.
"What do you mean? Are you pitying me?'
Helen held the contract and asked in a low voice.
She knew Abe, and likewise, Abe knew her too.
Even if Abe wasn't fully aware of the current predicament that Yueji Cosmetic Corp. was facing, he definitely knew it was serious.
At this time, Abe directly offered a contract that was very beneficial to her, which made Helen feel like she was blocked by a wall.
"Ms. Xie, I hope you are here because you are the owner of Yueji Cosmetic Corp.. Now we are not in any other relationship, but are negotiating contracts as representatives of each other's company."
Helen's reaction was not unexpected to Abe, but it did not make him feel happy.
No matter what, they had been married for three years. Facing this contract, Helen's first reaction turned out to be that Abe was pitying her.
"Moreover, this contract is not just my idea. Ms. Shen also agreed to it."
Abe said in a flat tone.
He hoped to use this to show that he was not showing favoritism or pitying her.
Unexpectedly, it was precisely this sentence that made all of the anger that Helen had been simmered in her heart explode in an instant.
At Mrs. Xie's birthday party yesterday, Dale said that Abe was a toy boy kept by Bonita. At that time, Helen didn't believe it.
As long as Abe gave her an explanation, she would believe him.
But Abe did not explain.
Then early this morning, all the entertainment magazines in the city were displaying the intimate photos of Bonita and Abe, spreading the news that Abe was her toy boy.
This was simply unacceptable for Helen.
In the previous three years, even if Abe didn't make any progress, even if Mrs. Xie had always disliked him, Helen never gave up on him.
But at this time, the photos in those magazines were like sharp knifes cutting Helen's heart.
However, Abe told her that Bonita agreed to the contract, which made Helen couldn't put up with it anymore.
"You kept mentioning Bonita. Is there only her in your heart?"
"You didn't explain it to me yesterday. What are those reports all about today?"
"Abe, you are such a disappointment to me. Wouldn't you be able to live without depending on women?"
Helen almost roared with all her strength.
She was trembling slightly all over, and the expression on her beautiful face became even more cold.
Abe was somewhat familiar with this scene.
That night, when he rescued Helen from Dale and messed up the negotiations between her and the investors, she behaved like this.
But last time, she was purely angry.
And this time, Abe actually felt her panic that she wanted to hide deeply.
What was she panicking about?
Abe froze in situ. There were only two of them in the entire office, but Abe felt like there were thousands of people around him.
They all pointed at him, mocking him wantonly, mocking him for being a toy boy who didn't even have the courage to live without depending on women.
"Helen, can you trust me for once?"
Abe frowned and punched the table inadvertently. The water glass on it slipped directly to the ground and shattered.
The movement inside the office also surprised the employees outside.
But Elva was guarding at the door, no one dared to go forward and eavesdrop.
"How do you want me to believe you? Abe, have you read the reports? Have you considered my feelings?"
Helen clenched her fists tightly. Her nails went deeply into her flesh. However, she didn't seem to feel the pain, and just stared at Abe with hatred.
At this moment, she was really heartbroken.
Facing with her question, Abe had no intention of explaining it at all.
If there was nothing going on between him and Bonita, why didn't he explain?
Helen had only this idea in her mind at the moment.
"Phew!"
Abe took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He didn't want to have an argument with Helen right now.
The fragile relationship between them simply couldn't withstand such suspicions and arguments.
"There are some things I can't tell you yet. And I don't have any other relationship with Ms. Shen other than a working relationship!"
Abe said in a deep voice.
"Abe, if you don't make it clear, then I don't think there's any need for us to continue our marriage."
