After The Company Secretary Treated Me Badly, I Divorced My HusbandChapter 1

My husband, James Woods, asked his secretary, Holly Green, to take me to a restaurant for a business discussion.

At the dinner table, the secretary deliberately made things difficult for me and even encouraged the client to force me to drink.

I stood up, planning to leave, using my alcohol allergy as an excuse. But before I could go, the secretary stopped me.

"Eleanor, you're just nothing but a trophy wife! When I tell you to drink, you’d better drink! Why are you making such a fuss?"

I smiled slightly, tore up the contract on the spot and then called my husband.

"I heard from your secretary that the Woods Family doesn’t need me anymore, is that right?"

——

Before my husband could respond, the secretary snatched my phone away.

"Oh, you’re just a weak bitch! Do you really think complaining to Mr. Woods will help?"

The secretary then sneered as she said, "I’m putting my foot down today. You have to drink this wine."

I looked at the woman coldly before asking her, "And what if I refuse?"

"I've never been threatened by anyone in my life," I said, my voice steady.

I added, "You can be the first to try."
