Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife by Brey Mitchylle

Chapter 89
“I didn’t think she would actually run away crying like a child!” Karina mused.
“What was she trying to do? You're not a celebrity. It's not like she can ruin your
reputation or something.”
Sofia said nothing. What was Charlotte trying to do exactly? She wracked her
brains but could not seem to find out anything. However, she had more pressing
matters to attend to at this very moment. The shareholders’ meeting is about to
start
“Why can’t I see her?” Daniel asked his mother, his expression placid. “Did she
know I am currently here?”
“She does know that you are here...” Teresa responded before she took a sip of
her tea. “Why don’t you give her some time to think things through? I think this...
space is better for both of you.”
Daniel pursed his lips. He looked around the garden which almost felt like a
heaven of tranquility. A low stone wall separated the patio from the rest of the
space, creating a cozy nook. Honeysuckle vines climbed the wall, their sweet
fragrance heavy in the air.
Bright splashes of color dotted the scene — roses in various hues of pink and red
bloomed alongside vibrant purple lavender bushes.
A small fountain trickled merrily in the center, its gentle sound a soothing
counterpoint to the frantic thoughts swirling in Daniel's min Sadly, these were not
enough to calm his inner thoughts down. “I don't need to stay in this place... the
doctor said I am showing some progress. Did you talk to him about my release?
Teresa's gaze immediately got complicated. To be honest, she does not want her
son to go out of the walls that surround this place. This was because of
Alexander and Sofia. Lately, some news and even the socialite of Illinois had
been talking about the fact that they were always together. Many were aware that
Sofia and Daniel used to be together and that Daniel was Alexander's brother but
those two simply don’t care.
“Ma, I need to marry her,” Daniel said. “You know that... right?”
Teresa pursed her lips. After a series of therapy with her and a specialist, Daniel
finally revealed that the reason why he wanted to marry Sofia was
not just because of what she would bring to the table but because he liked

her, and he thought she liked him too.
Daniel then started talking about Charlotte and how it was only a mistake.
Charlotte was an easier woman to please. He would buy her coffee and she
would smile and hug him.
Meanwhile, Sofia seemed to have always had that obsession with ruling the
company. She can be cold and likes to isolate herself, especially when she is
busy with a certain project. Daniel sighed, the sound lost in the gentle murmur of
the fountain.
He ran a hand through his hair, the manicured lawn a stark contrast to the turmoil
within him. Sure, Charlotte was easy. Easy to please, easy to spend time with,
easy to forget about everything else for a while. But their connection never went
deeper than that. It was like a warm summer breeze pleasant but fleeting.
Sofia, on the other hand, was a storm. Unpredictable, powerful, and utterly
captivating. There were moments of sunshine, laughter, and shared dreams, but
also long stretches of cold rain, where she retreated into her own world, leaving
him both frustrated and strangely drawn in. At the end of the day, it was just a
small mistake-nothing that couples therapy would not be able to fix.
“I know, honey. Just— just give her time.” Teresa answered after a few minutes of
silence. “She is currently grieving. She's in a dark place. She will come around.”
Until now, Teresa still doesn’t know what that woman would do. Their company
was in turmoil, but she was not showing signs of trying to rule the company. “This
place is quite lovely. Why not stay here for a couple more months and-"
“What about my wedding?” Daniel asked.
“Honey...”
“If I stay here for too long, that man might probably steal my fiancée away.”
“Daniel-“Teresa doesn’t know what to say. The specialist told her that Daniel was
getting better. He was getting calmer. But that might just be because of the
medicine that he was taking.
“Never mind that. Let's talk about something else....” Daniel suddenly changed
the topic and started talking about the company.
Currently, Daniel was on leave, yet he insisted that his secretary take his

work inside the facility-something that the specialist did not allow. Her son was
indeed a workaholic; he had been raised as one.
Sadly, it seems that his father and brother don't appreciate the things that he did
for them. Teresa gritted her teeth as Alexander's warnings echoed inside her
head. After a few hours of talking about random things, Teresa finally decided to
leave and let her son rest. She walked out of the facility, exhausted.
Daniel seemed very calm throughout the conversation. There were no signs of
aggression or anger. However, this was not the Daniel that she knew.
he let out a sigh and internally cursed Sofia for the umpteenth time. If the woman
had only forgiven her son then this wouldn't have happened!
“Take me home..." she ordered the moment she got inside the car. This whole
thing was making her so stressed; she could now see new wrinkles on her face
every single day! She leaned back and closed her eyes.
When Teresa opened her eyes, she already arrived at the mansion. “Madam...
we might have a problem.” One of the maids said the moment she walked out of
the car.
“What is it this time?” Was it Zoe or that damn Alexander again?
“Miss Charlotte Lockhart insisted on seeing you. We tried to tell her no, but she
threatened to-"
“To what?”
One of the maids paled. “She said she would tell the media that the Beaumont
Family abandoned their... grandchild.”
The maid's words echoed inside her head like a tolling bell, “What did you just-"
“Madam please don't be mad. We were forced to let her in because she started
screaming that she was pregnant with young master Daniel's child.”
“D- Daniel's child?” Teresa staggered. All colors drained from her already pale
face. “Did she just say... it was Daniel's child?”
“Yes so-"
“Did you call your master?” Teresa asked.

Miss Teresa, the maids must have

was just a misunderstanding. They
