Chapter 29 Nova’s Heart BrokeÂ
Nova pushed the door open. She sensed something off in the office.Â
She frowned slightly, glancing around–then her eyes froze on a spot.Â
Kael stood up from his chair, expression calm.Â
The moment the door opened, Sloane had hidden under the desk. He hadn’t expected Nova to come up directly. Sloane shouldn’t come here again.Â
Kael walked to Nova, blocking her view. He spoke softly, “What’s wrong? You’re in such a hurry.”Â
Nova’s eyes trembled as she could clearly smell faint perfume on him–Sloane’s.Â
he dug her nails into her palm, disgust welling up, and stepped back, frowning. “Was Sloane here today?”Â
A flash of unease crossed Kael’s face, but it was gone in an instant. “Yes. She came with her agent to talk about terminating the contract.”Â
His expression was serious–like he wasn’t lying.Â
Jova’s face softened a little.Â
Let’s not talk about irrelevant people. What’s wrong with you?” Kael asked. “You look pale.Â
Didn’t you meet a client with Mr. Cain for the project?” He took her hand, worried.Â
At the mention of this, Nova’s brows furrowed. Memories of the club flooded back.Â
ler nose tingled, voice trembling with grievance. “Kael, Josh has bad intentions… He set me up…”Â
ael’s face changed, anger flashing in his eyes, then he checked her body for injuries.Â
I’m fine.” Nova felt a flicker of warmth. “But Josh is rotten to the core. Can someone like him be branch president?”Â
he wasn’t just avenging herself–she was rooting out a company cancer.Â
he looked at Kael eagerly.Â
ut Kael fell silent, expression unreadable.Â
Kael?” Nova forced a smile uglier than a frown.Â
he thought back to when they dated–once, a guy made a vulgar joke about her, and Kael almost fought him.Â
ut now–she’d been set up, almost violated, and he hesitated.Â
ine minute gone, with every second ticking past like an eternity.Â
The warmth in Nova’s heart turned cold. “So you don’t want to deal with this…”Â
She tried to pull her hand away, her throat feeling bitter.Â
Nova, listen to me…” Kael held her hand tightly, face tense.Â
After a moment, he touched her cheek, half–coaxing, “The marketing department has too many dinners. You’re a woman–it’s hard to avoid danger.Â
‘I can support you. Why don’t you quit? Stay home and relax. I’ll give you $10,000 a month.Â
“Mabel wants a grandchild–we should have a baby.”Â

Chapter 29 Nova’s Heart BrokeÂ
Nova stared at him blankly, couldn’t believe it.Â
He knew she was strong willed–not a greenhouse flower.Â
After the company was founded, he’d said he respected her, and would support her. But now–he wanted her to be a housewife? $10,000 a month?Â
What was the difference between that and paying a mistress?Â
Seeing her silence, Kael felt guilty, but pressed on. “Mr. Cain is a veteran. His family, the Cains, back him…”Â
His meaning was clear–he wouldn’t touch Josh. He still needed the Cains‘ support.Â
So she had to endure it.Â
Nova’s heart felt fried in oil–numb with pain.Â
“Ha…” She forced a smile, her face as pale as if she were seriously ill. “I see… Pretend I never came. As for quitting–fine. In ten days, when I finish work, 111Â
hand in my resignation.”Â
Tears welled up in her red eyes. She held them back.Â
“Really?” Kael felt joy mixed with guilt.Â
He pulled her into a tight hug. “I’m sorry for making you suffer. Once I control the board, I’ll make Josh pay.”Â
Nova’s body was stiff as stone, and her heart was already dead.Â
By then–only you’ll be left.Â
“I’ll go down. You focus on your stuff.” She pushed him away and left, looking lonely.Â
Kael didn’t want to hurt her, but thought–this would break her spirit a little, make her return to the family, rely on him more.Â
As for Josh–he dared to plot against his woman!Â
“Kael!” Sloane suddenly hugged him from behind, rubbing softly.Â
Kael was in a great mood, especially at the thought of Nova being so obedient from now on and acting as his capable wife. A pleasant smile curled up at theÂ
corner of his lips.Â
Sloane said, “If Nova quits, the marketing manager position will be vacant… Can my brother try? He’s been in the industry for five or six years. He just needs aÂ
chance.”Â
Kael was holding her hand and toying with it. At these words, he fell silent, his expression darkening slightly.Â
Sloane kissed him, hand hooking his belt. “Let him try…”Â
Kael’s eyes darkened instantly.Â
Nova stumbled back to her office,Â
Lila came to deliver documents, shocked by her pale face. “Ms. Hale, what’s wrong?”Â
Nova forced a smile. “Nothing.”Â
A knock came–Sam pushed in, holding an exquisite gift bag.Â
“Ms. Hale, Mr. Voss asked me to give you this.”Â
Nova said coldly, “Put it there.”Â
Lila saw the brand, jaw dropping. “Ms. Hale, Mr. Voss spoils you! This ring is super expensive–customizable once in a lifetime!”Â
