Chapter 81 Can’t Stand It Any Longer
Gary entered the company and spotted a familiar figure standing not far away. He paused for a moment. Wasn’t that his wife? Didn’t she say that she would be accompanying an artist and working overtime for a movie shoot? Why would she be at the company now? He was about to call out to her, but he remembered Simone’s response and held back.
He followed from behind at a slow pace. After watching his wife enter the elevator, he approached and waited to see the elevator stop on the fifth floor.
Gary hesitated for a moment before deciding to head to the fifth floor as well. His office was located there. Was his wife here to see him? It didn’t make sense, though! He’d been picking his kid up after work these days, and she was aware of that.
He got off the fifth floor and checked his office, but no one was there. He then wandered around.
After approximately ten minutes, he arrived at the door of the freshly promoted director’s office. Not only were the lights on, but he could also hear voices coming from inside. He approached quietly.
The door was slightly ajar, allowing him to hear the conversation inside while standing at the door.
“You were absolutely dreadful today.”
“No way!” Gary’s face turned pale upon hearing his wife’s voice from inside.
Suppressing the urge to kick the door open, he took out his phone and started recording, continuing to listen.
A male voice spoke, which belonged to the new director.
“We shouldn’t be doing it at the office. Let’s find another place. I’ll show you what I’m really capable of. I’m much better than Gary, right?”
The woman’s voice sounded. “Of course, you’re far better than him! Dang it, when can I divorce him? Every day, I feel like puking whenever I see his face. Also, his son pesters me weekly to take him to the amusement park. It’s so annoying.
The man replied, “Just hold on for a little while more, darling. We’ve endured it for two years already, and a little more time won’t make a difference.”
“My patience is wearing thin, though.”
“As long as you obtain the information he has, we can finalize the divorce. By then, we’ll hire a woman and catch them cheating. Since he cheated first, he’ll be at fault. Not only will you have a reason to divorce, but you can also claim most of the assets. Gary has been a director for many years, and according to what you said, he occasionally takes on private jobs. He must have some family wealth.”
The woman said, “If it weren’t for helping you, who would care about his small fortune? However, he’s wasted two years of my youth, so he should compensate for it.”
The conversation took a turn. “I’ve helped you by making him commit two major mistakes, which led to his demotion from the position of director.

“You’re already the new director, so why do you still want those documents from him?” she asked. “They’re not easy to obtain, you know. I’ve tried to crack the password on his laptop several times, but he’s never told me the code.
“You don’t understand. He has been running the company for many years, and those documents are very important to him. There are still many resources that will determine whether I can advance further. Darling, whether you guys can divorce quickly depends on whether you can obtain those things sooner.
She suggested. “Perhaps I can do what I did the last two times and put sleeping pills in his drink. I’ll steal his computer. You guys can unlock it and secretly copy the documents, and I’ll put it back.”
“Well, that’s one way of doing it,” replied the man. Have a romantic dinner with him one day, give him some wine, then make him drink some water with sleeping pills. That way, he will sleep longer and won’t suspect anything, thinking it’s because he got drunk
“Alright, that’s settled, then.” The woman went along with the plan.
“Once everything is done, I will ask Mr. Gray to help you make your debut and make you famous,” he
said.
“No broken promises! Based on what you’re saying, does Mr. Gray know about all this?”
“Of course. How am I supposed to bring Gary down and take his position otherwise? The plan is to get rid of all the lackeys belonging to the previous president. What’s more, Gary offended Mr. Gray shortly after he joined the company. If he doesn’t leave, who will? However, Gary has been quite stable, having worked with the company for many years. If he doesn’t make any mistakes, the president can’t easily replace him as director,” the man explained. “We just need to make him make a mistake. Once we obtain the documents, Mr. Gray can remove him and his team.
“I understand now. Two years ago, you asked me to get close to him, target his son and mother, and make him marry me. Is Mr. Gray aware of this, too?” she asked.
The man answered, “He knows. Mr. Gray discovered that Gary values his son’s and mother’s opinions the most. That’s why I had you target them and bring him down.”
“You guys really have the patience,” she commented..
“Of course, we are people who accomplish great things. Let’s go find someplace else.”
“Alright, I want to see how capable you are today!” said the woman.
If he were to rush in now and beat the other person up, it would only alert them.
Gradually, he was moved by her, and with his mother and son also liking this woman, they decided to make it official. They got married after dating for a while.
He couldn’t comprehend why he had overslept. Logically, he shouldn’t have, considering he had never made such a basic mistake before,
What was even more astonishing was that Titus and the general manager were aware of it and even conspired with the new director to try to oust him.
