Finding Out The Billionaire

Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Is This Your Useless Husband

When the lady saw the man beside Heather, she ignored Alex and greeted him, “Mr. Stanton!”

The other dealers rushed to greet him as well.

That man was Luke Stanton, the branch manager of Audi’s main branch in Nebula City.

He was also in charge of the partnership with Four Seas Corporation.

“Has the chairman of the Four Seas Corporation arrived yet?” Luke inquired.

“Not yet. We’ve been waiting here all this time,” one of them replied.

Luke nodded and turned to Heather, “Let’s wait in the office then.”

Luke had a divorce recently and was interested in courting Heather, who used to be the school belle.

When he learned from Carmen that Heather wanted to divorce Alex, he was overjoyed and started to take action.

That day, he encountered Carmen and Heather by chance and mentioned the new chairman of Four Seas Corporation.

After a round of bragging, Carmen was excited and got him to introduce Heather to the new chairman.

When Luke learned that the chairman would be visiting the Audi main branch at two in the afternoon that day, he invited Heather to join them.

She was interested in seeing the chairman of the Four Seas Corporation as well, so she agreed.

However, she had no idea that the person she wanted to see this whole time was the husband she had looked down upon.

From their conversation, Alex surmised that this ‘Mr. Stanton’ would be the man in charge of negotiating with him later on. He scoffed and headed over.

“Why haven’t you left yet?” the lady who confronted Alex frowned.

Luke scrutinized Alex. He looked poor, so he did not think much of him and chided the dealers, “How could you let this piece of trash in? What if this makes the chairman of Four Seas Corporation unhappy?”

The dealers glared at Alex and felt like chasing him out immediately.

“Well, what are you staring for? Chase him out, now!” Luke commanded.

“R-Right!” a few ladies nodded and proceeded to drag Alex out.

“Alex!” Heather exclaimed. She finally noticed Alex’s presence and seemed distraught. What on earth is Alex doing here?

“Alex, don’t misunderstand. This isn’t what it looks like…” Heather tried to explain.

She did not want to divorce Alex for now, so she hoped that he would not misunderstand.

But Alex remained silent, so Heather continued, “My mom forced me to come. Luke said he knew the new chairman from Four Seas Corporation, and my mom made him introduce the chairman to me… I have to meet him at least once, you know, because of that thirty million.”

For some reason, Alex had calmed down a lot when he saw Heather nervously attempt to explain things to him.

Even though the incident with Walt had driven a wedge between the two of them, Heather was the woman he had loved for five years after all.

Thus, he could not bear to hurt her.

“I understand,” Alex nodded.

He knew Carmen like the back of his hand.

“Heather, who is this man? He looks like a trash collector! How did you get to know him?” Luke inquired.

He had already guessed Alex’s identity from their conversation, but he wanted to embarrass Alex in front of Heather.

Alex’s eyes narrowed. Before Heather could speak, he introduced himself, “I’m her husband, Alex. That’s my wife you’re talking to, so please watch yourself.”

Luke chuckled, “So you’re Heather’s good-for-nothing husband. I was wondering who it was.”

He took a step forward and glared at Alex, “Mrs. Jennings has told me about your situation. Soon, you’ll be chased out of the Jennings family. Heather may be your wife, but not for long.”

He had a scornful gaze and contemptuous tone.

Normally, he would not have bothered talking to a good-for-nothing. However, Alex was Heather’s husband. And since he was interested in her, he treated Alex with animosity.

“Luke, what on earth are you saying?” Heather scowled.

This Luke – he has tried to court me since our university days. Back then, I didn’t even care about Walt, much less Luke, who didn’t have a good family background. If mom hadn’t forced me, I wouldn’t even

have come at all.

“Trash, I won’t make life difficult for you on Heather’s account, but sometimes, you need to know your place,” Luke spat. He hoped that by taunting Alex, Alex would become violent so that he could show off in front of Heather.

Yet to his dismay, all Alex did was stare at him expressionlessly.

He was not affected emotionally at all.

“Ah, Heather! Are you here to buy a car as well?” a crisp voice called out.

Everyone turned around to see a lady just as beautiful as Heather walking in.

The lady was dressed fashionably and gave off an elegant yet aloof vibe. Although her figure was not as voluptuous as Heather’s, she still looked good.

“Jessica, you’re back from studying overseas?” Heather exclaimed.

This woman was her high school classmate and best friend, Jessica Saffin. Although they had not contacted each other in recent years, they were extremely close in high school.

Usually, friendships formed in high school were more sincere than those formed in college.

Although the two of them had lost contact in years, they were still happy to see each other.

“That’s right! Try guessing where I’m working at?” Jessica smiled at Heather excitedly.

Heather shook her head.

Jessica quipped, “I’m working as the secretary to the chairman of the Four Seas Corporation! My base yearly pay is one million and five hundred thousand, and I’m still entitled to bonuses and the like!”

Whoa! You’re earning five hundred grand more than me, and I’m working as a manager! The Four Seas Corporation is on a whole new level! Luke was taken aback and felt envious.

Alex’s eyes twitched and scrutinized Jessica. So this is the secretary Jack got me?

“Congratulations! It must be nice to be able to study abroad. The moment you return, all major companies are looking to hire you! I’ll treat you to a meal someday,” Heather nodded happily.

Jessica chuckled and inquired, “Oh right, I heard you got married to a good-for-nothing?”

Heather’s smile froze and glanced at Alex in an awkward expression.

Right then, Jessica followed her gaze to Alex and exclaimed, “Don’t tell me that brick-layer guy right there is your husband!”
