My Wife Thought I Was a Nobody and Offered DivorceChapter 1

After the New Year's Eve gala, my wife instructed her assistant to host the opening ceremony.

During the meeting, Gideon distributed red envelopes to every employee—except me.

I was about to step forward and question him when he suddenly smirked and mocked me in front of everyone.

"Desmond, you've been freeloading off this company for years. And now you have the nerve to beg for a red envelope?"

A hushed silence fell over the room. I simply smiled, unpinned my work badge, and called my wife.

"I heard that Whitaker Group of Companies is planning to fire me. Is that true?"

——

All eyes were on me. The phone rang several times before the call finally connected.

Everett's impatient voice came through the speaker.

"Desmond, what nonsense are you up to now? This meeting is crucial for the company. Can’t you wait until I get back?"

From the corner of my eye, I caught Gideon’s smug expression. I tightened my grip on the phone and responded firmly.

"No."

The next second, Everett snapped.

"Yes! I ordered Gideon to fire you. Are you satisfied now?"

I was momentarily stunned but quickly recovered.

"Give me a reason."

She let out a cold laugh.
