Southern Union Bank agreed to the loan, and Lambert Group came back to life. That was undoubtedly good news for Brian and Lambert Group.

All employees thought that they could see a rare smile on Brian's face that day.

But he went to the company with a bandaged hand, and his face looked like it was covered with a layer of dark clouds, overcast and gloomy.

In the morning, no employee dared to say hello to Brian.

Soon, the news of Joanne having an affair was circulating inside the company. Everyone thus understood why Brian was unhappy, and privately talked about it.

The news was, within the company, even more exciting than the exposure of famous celebrities.

But Brian, in addition to the scary gas field that spread around his body, he was still working as usual, being decisive, and had handled a lot of things in the morning. Lambert Group, which was filled with desperation, gradually recovered.

At 12:30, Daisy pressed the internal telephone to inform Brian, "Mr. Brian, at noon, lunch time, I have arranged the interview of "Financial Figures" for you, and the reporter is at XX Western Restaurant, you can now set off.

"I know." Brian put on his coat and went downstairs with an assistant.

But he didn't walk straight to the first floor, he went to the finance department at the 50th floor to do something.

He didn't expect when he got out of the elevator and passed the tea room of the Finance Department, he heard a cautious gossip from inside:

"Hey, has our president's wife really cheated?"

"Who knows," another said, "we haven't gotten along with her yet, but according to the secretary of the president's office, she was nice, not condescending at all, as for the character... I don't know."

"I guess it's probably right! Think about it, the company is facing bankruptcy, she's about to become a wife in debt; she would be stupid if she didn't move to find another rich one."

Brian went straight into the tea room, and the faces of the two girls were instantly pale, and stammered, "President..."

"Give the resignation report to your boss and pack up your things within an hour. Don't appear in Lambert Group again."

There was no room for negotiation, and he didn't leave time for them to explain. After that Brian left the tea room, and walked straight into the office of the acting financial controller.

After dismissing them, the discussion on Joanne would disappear in the company.

Facts had proved that Brian's iron fist had played a great deterrent role. The heads of various departments heard that the two employees of the Finance Department were dismissed, and they warned all their employees. In the future, whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, as long as it was related to the president's wife, it was not allowed to talk freely, unless someone wanted to be fired.

In less than half an hour, all the rumors and malicious speculations against Joanne disappeared from the company.

However, it was impossible to disappear from Brian's mind.

Even at work, he couldn't help but think of Joanne's words,"Brian, I want a divorce."

There was also a photo of her entering and leaving the hotel with Shawn.

When he was about to get off work, Gavin entered the office and reported to Brian, during which, Brian suddenly closed the folder. "Check what Joanne and Shawn did in the hotel that day."

"... ah?" Gavin hesitated to ask, "Check?"

He thought that Brian would, like him, unconditionally believe in Joanne and would not check the nonsense in the news.

However, Brian actually wanted to check?

"She does not deny the report, nor will she explain it," Brian pressed his temple, "I don't believe there is something between her and Shawn."

Gavin knocked on Brian's table incredulously. "What did you do first to get on Joanne's nerve, she must be angry with you!"

Gavin did not believe that there was something between Joanne and Shawn. If there were really something, he would eat the keyboard on live broadcast!

Brian's headache became more and more serious and told Gavin everything.

"..." Gavin was stunned, and squeezed some words, "What did..." "shit, Rosalyn was so bold!"

After a pause, Gavin analyzed seriously, However, Joanne should just be angry with you when she said that she wanted to divorce you. Go back and explain to her, she is not an unreasonable person; after the explanation, everything will be fine. There is no need to check."

Brian did not believe that Joanne really proposed a divorce either, but he remembered that Joanne said before he left, "I am not angry, I am very serious." He did not say anything for a while, and obviously did not agree with what Gavin had just said.

Gavin's scalp was faintly numb. Is it so serious? I will check it out right now!

It was not difficult to check at all, and he quickly asked from the hotel waiter that Joanne and Shawn did go to the hotel together and entered the same room, not for business. There was no case in the hotel that day.

Gavin was more cautious and asked, "Which room were they in, and who opened it?"

The waiter checked the record and answered, "It was opened by Mr. Shawn."

Gavin gradually felt that things were tricky. "How long did they stay inside?"

"More than an hour, less than two hours," the waiter had mistaken Gavin for a reporter and whispered to him, "at that time, someone of our hotel recognized Mrs. Lambert, and we have been talking about it since then."

Gavin took a deep look at the waiter and presented the employee certificate of Lambert Group,"I want to see your manager."

The hotel manager heard that Brian's personal assistant had come, and he rushed over. He respectfully said, Special Assistant Gavin, I know what to do, when the media reporters arrive, we will not disclose a bit of news, you can rest assured."

Gavin nodded and added, "You should warn the waiters. Whoever disclosed the news to the reporter, is to be fired!"

Gavin rushed back to the company, and the sky was completely dark. As expected, Brian was still handling things in the office.

He really didn't know how to talk to Brian about that, so he chose to delay for a while, and he asked reluctantly, "What are we going to do next? First check the tax evasion, or finish investigating the collapse of Fontine Gardens?"

Brian was not so easy to be guided by the idea, but looking at Gavin, he asked, "What have you found?"

Gavin hesitated for a moment, and finally told the truth. Anyway... it was impossible to hide it from him.

After listening to it, Brian's face was more and more serious, but was still in doubt.

There was a loophole in the whole thing, but where was it? He was temporarily unable to detect it.

"It's not early, do you want to go home first?" Gavin looked at the time and said, "A day has passed, and Joanne should have calmed down. Go back and explain things to each other clearly, then everything can be solved."

Brian did not say anything, but he took the jacket and put it on.

Just then, the phone on the desk suddenly sounded, showing the landline number from home.

He connected the phone, and Simon said in a panic, "Young Madam is gone!"

Joanne quietly left when everyone was busy.

Brian hung up the phone and dialed Joanne's number directly. She picked it up.

He suppressed the anger that was about to spurt out. "Where are you?"

"...I have already called a lawyer to prepare a divorce agreement, and I have already signed it." Joanne did not answer Brian's question and said, "when you go home, remember to sign on the agreement."

"Joanne, I asked about where you are!" Brian almost screamed that sentence, which shocked Gavin next to him.

"..." Joanne's voice was still calm, "I am leaving."

She no longer gave Brian the chance to speak, and hung up decisively.

Brian's face was more and more serious, and he was about to throw his phone.

Hey! Gavin promptly stopped him, "go home now, you must have missed something!

Gavin could not believe that Joanne was a person who did not listen to explanations, and did not believe that she would sign a divorce agreement so easily.

Brian closed his eyes and his eyebrows were seriously frowned. The bandaged hand suddenly held his stomach.

Gavin instantly understood. "You came back without having lunch at noon, right?"

Brian took the lunch time to be interviewed by the financial magazine. The purpose was to explain the current situation of Lambert Group and let the investors regain their confidence in Lambert Group. Gavin had specially arranged the place in the restaurant so that he could eat after the interview.

But at the moment it was evident that he had not eaten at all.

"No appetite," Brian said as he went out, "take me back."

Gavin was a good driver, driving at the top speed all the way and spending half an hour to send Brian home.

Simon and Martha both had sorry looks. They apologized to Brian as soon as they saw him. "I didn't expect the Young Madam to lie to us. She said that she wanted to walk in the garden, and I didn't see her with a suitcase on her hand, so I didn't pay much attention to her..."

"You shouldn't be concerned."

Brian went straight upstairs with a serious face and saw the divorce agreement signed by Joanne on the bedside table.

Under the terms of property division, there was only one clause, which meant that Joanne would get nothing.

Brian sneered and went out with the agreement, driving the car at a fast speed.

Martha was confused. "Is the young master going to find the Young Madam? But where did she go?"

Gavin smiled and said, "Rest assured. He knows."

In the past few years, Brian knew everything about Joanne's life, and there were only few places that she could have gone to.

Since Freya was abroad, Joanne could probably only go to Chris's.

Brian's car was heading for Chris's apartment, and Joanne was indeed there.

Chris had already seen the news in the morning about Joanne having an affair, but he didn't take it to heart. Brian knew more than him and believed in Joanne. If they did not worry, he had no need to worry about it.

But after working overtime, he found Joanne sitting in his living room, with her eyes red and swollen; clearly she had been crying a river.

He realized that the situation was serious, but no matter what he asked, Joanne shook her head, and she refused to say anything.

He asked with a headache, "Brian doesn't believe you?"

Joanne still shook her head.

Chris stood up and said, "I am going to find him!"

Joanne suddenly pulled Chris. She only said, "Brother", then tears could no longer be controlled and fell down.

"What the hell is going on?" Chris took a piece of tissue and wiped the tears on Joanne's face. "Just say it, I will help you solve it."

"It's not him" Joanne still shook her head and repeated that sentence, "It's not him..."

Chris looked at Joanne. Joanne was very sad, but it was better to say that she was more afflicted by self-blame.

He gradually looked like he couldn't believe it. "Joanne, you really..."

He didn't even have the courage to finish the conversation. At that time, the door was harshly banged, the sound of which could be heard through the whole house.
