Chapter 56.
Armando nervously held her hand.
Mentioning this Jovana frowned and thought of what she had gone through at the club not long ago. Her nose stung and her voice sounded aggrieved, Armando, Zachary had bad intentions… he set me up
The meaning was obvious without saying.
Armando’s face changed, his eyes and brows looked dark, but he first checked her up and down to see if she was hurt.
“I’m fine.” Jovana felt a little warmer. “It’s just that Zachary is really no good, rotten to the core. Can someone like that really be a good branch president?”
This wasn’t just about standing up for myself, this was also about getting rid of the company’s cancer.
Jovana looked at Armando… her eyes were full of hope.
However, Armando stayed silent, and there was an unreadable look on his face.
“Armando?”
Jovana gave a smile that looked worse than crying.
She couldn’t help but think back to when they were dating. If a guy joked with her with some dirty talk, Armando would be ready to fight.
Instead of now, she was set up and almost got bullied, and he hesitated so much that he didn’t even say a word to stand up for her.
Ten seconds, fifty seconds… a minute passed…
Jovana’s once passionate heart slowly turned cold.
“So, you didn’t want to get involved in this…” Her throat felt bitter, and she tried to pull her hand from his grip.
“Vana, listen to me…” Armando held her tight, his face tense.
After a moment, he touched her cheek and said in a half-coaxing voice, “Vana, the Marketing Department had too many social events, and you’re a woman, it’s hard to guard against danger…”
“I could afford to take care of you, how about you stop working and just relax at home? I gave you a hundred thousand every month, okay?”
“Didn’t grandma want a grandchild? It’s about time we had a baby too.”
Jovana stared blankly, just looking at the man in front of her. She really couldn’t believe she actually heard something like that from him.
He knew full well that she had a strong personality and wasn’t the kind of delicate girl who stayed in a greenhouse.
After the company was founded, he told her, I respect everything about you, and I’ll always support you…
And now, he actually wanted her to go home and be a housewife? Gave her a hundred thousand a month?

To put it bluntly, how was this any different from paying for sex?
Mores
Seeing Jovana stay silent, Armando felt guilty and uncomfortable too, but things like this had to be taken slowly. “You know, Mr. Crosier was a founding member of the company, and he had the Crosier family backing him…”
What he meant was, he wouldn’t mess with Zachary, since he still needed to profit from the Crosier family.
So, even if she was bullied, she just had to put up with it.
Jovana’s heart felt like it was frying in hot oil, numb and unfeeling.
“Ha…” Jovana pulled at her lips, her face pale like she’d just been really sick, “I got it… Just pretend I never came today.”
“As for quitting, that’s fine.”
“In about ten days, once I finished what I had on hand, I would hand in my resignation letter.”
Jovana’s eyes were really red. She held back hard and didn’t end up crying.
“Really?” Armando felt happy but also a bit guilty. He hugged her tightly.”Sorry for making you suffer. Once I took control of the board, I would make Zachary pay.”
Jovana was stiff as a rock and had already lost all hope.
By then, it was just you!
“I went downstairs, you go ahead and do your thing…”
She pushed him away and left. Even the way she walked looked lonely….
Armando said it wasn’t true that he didn’t feel bad.
Okay, he had to do this. He took this chance to put Jovana in her place, make her return to the family.
way, she would depend on him a bit more and wouldn’t be so distant anymore…
That
As for that old guy Zachary,
Armando squinted his shadowy eyes, thinking, His woman, and he dared to make a move!
“Mando!”
Juliette suddenly hugged her from behind, snuggling up to her all sweet and soft.
Armando was in a good mood, especially when he thought about how Jovana would be like this in the future, obediently being his good wife. He smiled happily.
Juliette said, “If Jovana went back to her family, then the Marketing Department manager position would be open…”
“Can you let my brother give it a try? He worked in this field for five or six years and just needed a chance.”
