Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back!

Chapter 251

At ElitePinnacle, the rumor mill had been churning with whispers about the CEO, Mr. Richardson. The latest buzz? His wife, they said, was a knockout beauty. Word on the street was that their marriage was on the rocks, and she’d given him the cold shoulder. Some even claimed she’d left him in tears after a heated argument in his office.

Caught in the act by Joy while idling by the printer, an employee mistook her for the infamous “Mrs. Richardson” because she dared to call the CEO by his first name. But upon closer inspection, they were underwhelmed. “She’s average. What’s with all the hype?” they thought.

“Mr. Richardson is in a meeting…” stammered the employee, trying to convince Joy

otherwise.

Unfazed, Joy stormed toward the conference room, leaving a trail of stunned employees in her wake. No one could stop her.

After barging into the meeting, she was nothing like Leanne, who would’ve politely asked outsiders to leave before speaking her mind, always keen on preserving Curtis’ dignity in public. But Joy? She didn’t care about keeping up appearances.

In front of over twenty shocked attendees, she grabbed a coffee from the table and hurled

it at Curtis.

Gasps filled the room as the meeting descended into chaos.

“Mr. Richardson, are you okay?”

“Get a towel, quick!”

“Who do you think you are, throwing coffee at Mr. Richardson?”

“Why not?” Joy stood defiantly, hands on her hips, in enemy territory as if she owned the place. “That’s who I aimed for, that heartless jerk!”

Drenched in coffee, Curtis remained expressionless. With his designer suit spoiled, he sat silently, his aristocratic demeanor untarnished.

Caleb rushed over with a towel, quickly ushering everyone out of the room.

While wiping away the coffee, Curtis’ gaze turned icy. “Joy, the only reason you’re still here unscathed is because of Leanne. There’s a limit to my patience. Don’t push it.”

“I don’t care about your limits! You hurt her, and I won’t stand for it! You promised a divorce. Why did you fool her?”

Curtis didn’t want to waste his breath and retorted impatiently. “It’s between Leanne and me. What’s it to you?”

Their confrontation escalated, with Joy accusing Curtis of bullying Leanne because she

had no family to defend her. “Well, I’m her family now, and I won’t let you get away with it!” Curtis was already at his wit’s end. Since Leanne left ElitePinnacle, she’d cut off all contact, leaving him in a worse place than before.

He had no desire to entertain Joy’s foolishness but found himself having to be polite for Leanne’s sake. It was as if he had a little mother-in-law without actually having one.

His frustration simmering, Curtis clenched his jaw. “I love her, and I won’t divorce her. My tolerance is only for Leanne’s sake. If you had any sense, you’d stay out of it.”

“Love? What good is your love? You’ve hurt her once. She was so in love with you. You were her first love, but you just threw her away without a second thought.”

Joy recounted the bleak days after their breakup, when Leanne was struggling with depression, questioning her worth and even thinking about ending her life. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Joy shared the heart-wrenching moment she found Leanne by the roadside, in tears, and the fear that she might have lost her to despair.

In the heated exchange, the complexities of their relationships were laid bare, revealing the deep scars and unhealed wounds beneath the surface.
