Albert finally managed to pull himself together, sitting in his office chair with a grim look as he rubbed his temples.
Right then, messages from Kaelin and the others started pouring in.
The group chat was blowing up with notifications.
Albert picked up his phone and checked it. Kaelin had sent him a ton of messages in the group chat. [Albert, say something’]
[Is that you? Seriously, is that you with Ms. Finley?]
Albert opened the video and realized it was the surveillance footage of him kissing Elnora unexpectedly earlier.
He rubbed his temples, thinking, ‘Great, one person gets into trouble and everyone else just piles on.
Kaelin said: [Why’d you have to go for a forced kiss with your own wife? Ms. Finley didn’t look like she was into it at all.]
Benedict said: [She didn’t land a serious blow, did she? Hope you’re still in one piece.]
Kaelin said: [Albert, spill it already! I’m super curious here.]
Benedict said: [What’s there to be curious about? Judging by their body language, I’d say they’ve barely even touched each other since tying the knot.]
Kaelin said: [Makes sense.]
[So that’s why Albert couldn’t take his eyes off Ms. Finley at the pool table that day. Turns out she’s been keeping him at a distance.]
Albert read the messages, and his head was starting to ache.
But what really made his head pound was the complicated situation between him and Elnora, and how Elnora was acting around Zack.
Albert just brushed off their jokes and dropped a line in the group chat. [Can anyone really turn a desert into an oasis?]
Benedict said: [What, you planning to invest in the desert now?]
Kaelin said: [You believe someone can turn a desert into an oasis? Might as well believe I’m the King himself.]
Albert sent a “get lost” meme.
Benedict immediately got the gist.
[Did Ms. Finley find out you and Stella were staying at the same hotel on that business trip to Vuplariland, so she’s giving you a hard time now?]
Kaelin said: [That’s a pretty serious problem.]
One had to pour in a ridiculous amount of energy and manpower just to make that happen.
And there was absolutely nothing to gain from it.
No one would be crazy enough to actually head out to the desert and try to turn it into an oasis.

Albert said [She didn’t give me that problem.]
Kachin let out a breath. [Good, then.]
[See, even if Ms. Finley can be ruthless, she wouldn’t be that cruel.]
Albert said: [She gave that problem to Zack.]
Elnora and Zack had kept their five-year relationship under wraps from everyone in their circle. But after Zack married Mila, rumors about their past started spreading bit by bit.
At first, everyone thought it was just gossip.
But eventually, people realized that it wasn’t a rumor.
It was true.
Elnora and Zack had been together for five years, and now Zack was married to her once closest friend.
The news exploded like a bomb in their circle, but nobody had the guts to confront them about it.
Everyone just tried to connect the dots from random hints, hoping to prove Elnora and Zack really were a thing.
Kaelin said: [Well, you can stop worrying. Nobody could ever pull that off-Zack’s not some miracle worker.]
Albert said: [But he actually went for it. He’s already in Craicaville.]
Benedict said: [So, what’s Ms. Finley’s attitude about all this?]
Albert didn’t answer for a long time.
‘What’s Elnora’s attitude?’ Albert thought to himself. ‘Isn’t she just hoping Zack will actually pull it off?’
Albert rubbed his temples, staying silent, his mind in turmoil and feeling restless inside.
Kaelin said: [I have a bad feeling about this.]
Benedict said: [Albert, you’d better watch your back. Women usually just care about where you stand. Now that Zack’s shown he’s serious, Ms. Finley is bound to have some thoughts about it.]
Benedict’s comment really struck a nerve with Albert.
The group chat went dead silent.
Even Kaelin, who was usually the snarky one, stayed quiet and didn’t post anything in the chat.
About half an hour later, Kaelin finally sent a hesitant message. [Hey Albert, you alright? Want to hit the bar tonight and have a couple of drinks?]
Albert stayed silent, still not replying.
At that moment, Kaelin pinged Eamon in the chat [Eamon, weigh in. Do you think Ms. Finley will torgive Zack or not?!
Eamon took a while to reply. (Ms. Finley’s pretty strict about her principles.]
Albert sat there in silence, just staring at Eamon’s message for a long time

Yeah, she really does have her principles, he thought. ‘But even the strongest principles can be bent
Albert rubbed his temples, tossed his phone onto the desk, and made up his mind to just let it go.
Meanwhile, the video of Albert kissing Elnora unexpectedly was blowing up online.
But Albert had no intention of shutting it down.
For several days straight, Elnora didn’t catch sight of Albert while having breakfast at home.
Only after asking Sharon did she realize he’d already headed out early.

Elnora didn’t bother to ask what Albert was busy with. After all, Campbell Group had tons of projects and business going on.
It wasn’t really a big deal for Albert to be busy.
After breakfast, Elnora headed to the office.
The driver pulled up in front of Supernova Entertainment, and as Elnora walked into the building, she ran into Stella coming out.
When Stella spotted Elnora, she stopped and greeted her first.
‘Ms. Finley,” Stella said.
Elnora nodded as she walked by.
Stella hurried after her and spoke up. “Ms. Finley, about that wager agreement you mentioned at the meeting, when can we sign the contract?”
Elnora stopped in her tracks.
She hadn’t expected Stella to actually come looking for her instead.
Elnora replied, “Anytime.”
Stella’s lips curled into a smile as she said to Elnora, “Then let’s do it tomorrow. Is tomorrow good for you?”
Elnora nodded, her tone calm and unruffled. “That’s fine.”
Stella glanced at Elnora quietly and said, “Tomorrow, I’ll bring an investor along. He wants to review the terms of the wager agreement and adjust his investment if needed.
“This won’t affect the company at all, so I assume you don’t mind, Ms. Finley?”
Elnora kept her cool and nodded slightly. “I don’t mind.
‘Since you’ve already found an investor, I’ll have the legal team get the agreement ready by ten tomorrow morning Just come to my office with your investor.”
Stella nodded, her eyes locking onto Elnora as she spoke with determination, “Can I talk about my terms?”
Elnora nodded. “Sure, go ahead.”
Stella locked eyes with Elnora, her gaze unwavering. After a brief silence, she spoke, her words measured and deliberate I fulfill all your requirements in three years, then I want you to divorce Albert”

As Stella laid out her condition, her resolve was obvious. You could tell she’d wrestled with this for a long time
