Chapter 128 You Reap What You Sow
He wanted to laugh at himself for being such a fool. Idiot! Why did I marry a woman like her?
If he had held himself back at the time, then he would not have been tied up with her and could have
been with Olivia instead.
If he had not married that woman, he would not be this humiliated today and be so blatantly exposed
as the husband of a cheating wife.
If only he had not listened to her and consolidated their companies through a partnership to celebrate
their wedding anniversary.
But those were simply what-ifs that were not real, and right now, he was bombarded with one truth after
the other.
At that moment, his secretary called to report, “President Gray, several people from the technical
department have resigned and some of our major partner companies want to cancel their contracts
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwith us! They’re willing to pay for the damages for breaching the contract. A few of our suppliers also
called and said they wouldn’t be doing business with the Gray Group anymore! What do we do?”
Out of those three things, not one of them was good news.
Hugo ended the call. What do we do? How should I know that?
He just felt like laughing.
Florence saw him laughing like a maniac and quickly walked over. “What’s wrong with you? Why are
you still laughing after such a humiliating event? Think of a way to keep this news under control!”
He looked at her and scoffed, “That’s Eugene. If he purposefully released that piece of information, do
you think someone like me can still keep it under control?”
She was suddenly silenced by his words. “It’s all her fault! That cursed wench who dared to accuse
someone else of having no shame when she is the most shameless! She’s incapable and a
troublemaker! You better divorce her now. Leaving a woman like her is no big deal!”
He smirked. “Did you think she was coming back? Everyone knows that Eugene has made Gray
Company his target now. No one would dare to oppose him and work with the Gray Company
anymore. We’re in a precarious situation. She’ll be dumb to come back.”
“Very well then. My son is attractive and rich. Is there a need to worry that you won’t find a nice lady?”
After a light chuckle, he did not speak anymore. Mom sure is optimistic.
But Florence felt rather apologetic. “It’s my fault. I really didn’t know Eugene was that powerful. I
couldn’t let my anger go that day.”
He leaned his head back in despair. “It’s okay. It wouldn’t have made a difference anyway. I’m just
getting what I deserve. There’s no one else I can blame for this!”
She probed, “Why don’t you reach out to Olivia? After all, you had a thing once and the person who
wronged her was Anna, not you. To be honest, you’re also a victim here. Since Eugene cares so much
about Olivia, he will listen to her if she’s the one begging him for mercy.”
He let out a burst of mocking laughter. “Where would I find the face to ask Olivia for help!”
At the same time, Anna was also facing the same circumstances. Henry was worried that Eugene

Anna’s eyes were filled with resentment as she rebuked, “What do I have to apologize to her for? Dad,
can’t you see what she has done to me?”
He retorted, “If you didn’t provoke her first, Olivia wouldn’t have been this resolute.”
She persisted with tears in her eyes, “That’s because she wrongly accused me of plagiarizing her work
at the major fashion contest. She beat my mother-in-law at school and even had Eugene expel my son.
Don’t you see all the times she bullied me? All I did was yell a few words at her over the phone, but I
didn’t cause her any substantial harm. What did she do? My wedding anniversary was turned into a
joke, and Hugo and I are going to get divorced, but I have to apologize to her. Dad, you’re my biological
father. Do you have to be this biased?”
“She did not reveal anything false. If you didn’t actually do it, even if she wanted to hurt you, she
couldn’t have done so. It’s all because you have no self-respect. Can you still blame someone else?”
