The Innocent Wife of Scheming President
Chapter 429 The Joy of Being a Henpecked Man

"This is the last year of my college. After I finish the thesis defense and get my graduation certificate, I can leave school. I originally found a job, but he screwed it up. Then I found other jobs, but I was resigned inexplicably for different reasons after I worked at them for a few days. Later, I realized that he was behind it all, and that he wanted me to work for him as his personal assistant, because I had been refusing him. If those companies didn't fire me, he would put them out of business. This is what the boss of the last company told me. I really wanted to have a big fight with him. What makes him think he can control my life?"

Janetta was agitated, and her voice was a little higher. Her face was full of anger.

Olive thought for a moment, and asked, "What's your major?"

"Financial Management.”

"If you are interested, you can work at our Angel Holiday Hotel. It is recruiting some talents in need."

Janetta froze for a moment, and said in disbelief, "Really?"

Olive smiled softly and said in her heart. Kent, for the sake of you and my husband's long-time friendship, I would keep this girl for you. I didn't despise you, but with the way you pursued her, you would only tame her on the surface. Sooner or later, she would be scared by you and hide from you. "I won't give you a high position and salary. After all, you are only a graduate with little experience. You need to start from the grassroots level. If you want, you can call me at any time. I don't think Kent dares to threaten Angel Holiday Hotel. Although I am not as strong as him, there is a tiger behind me who would get angry at any time.”

Olive's humorous words made Janetta laugh, and her expression relaxed.

"Actually, I never thought that someone like me could meet characters like you and Mr. Hoyle. At that time, when I was pressed hard by him, I said to him helplessly, if you can be as faithful to me as Mr. Hoyle is to Olive, I can be as devoted to you as Olive is to him. And then he actually laughed.” Janetta paused and continued, "At that time, I thought he was laughing at me. From the very beginning, he told me that he didn't believe in love. But he told me that he believed in love again because of your persistence, and then told me that he knew you guys and was your best friend. I didn't believe it at all. He was like a gangster. How can he know people like you? He and you are simply from different worlds. Your life values and attitudes towards love are completely different. At best, he knew you two, but he couldn't be your friend. He saw that I didn't believe him, so he made a bet with me."

"What's your bet?" Olive reckoned that Kent would not let go of such a good opportunity to take his favorite lamb into his mouth.

"If I win, he will stop pestering me. But if he wins, I will have to be his girlfriend for three years. But now it seems that I will suffer a crushing defeat.” Janetta grimaced, as if her future was in dire straits. "Don't you like him at all?” Kent's face would be a enough temptation for many women, let alone he was very rich.

"Nothing is good about him. He is handsome and rich and got a company. So what? His private life is indiscreet. Besides, he is selfish and domineering.” Janetta grabbed an apple and took a hard bite. She made Olive feel like she wanted to bite Kent hard, drink his blood, and gnaw his bones.

"Olive, will you be upset after hearing these?" Janetta thought that what she said made the woman in front of her angry. She became nervous.

Janetta looked at Olive cautiously, and bit her tongue secretly. She blamed herself for saying too much. She shouldn't have told her her true thoughts. However, she felt that the woman in front of her understood her, which made her let go of her guard.

When she was uneasy, Olive smiled, "Strictly speaking, Kent is my husband's friend for many years, but it hasn't been long since we've known each other. I don't know him very well, and my first impression of him is similar to yours. He was cynical, rebellious, and had the temperament of rascals. But would you like to know something different?”

"Yes, sure." Seeing that she wasn't angry, Janetta was relieved and looked at her intently.

Olive said, "According to my husband, all we know about him is just on the surface. There is another real self hidden in him, and we haven't found it."

"There is a devil hidden in him. At least I haven't seen the shadow of an angel in him. He might be Asura, but would never be the savior." Janetta summarized.

Olive thought that although it was not 100% accurate, it was quite vivid

"Kent looks pretty unreliable, but my husband thinks highly of him. His private life is indeed not discreet. But it is related to an experience when he was young. I don't know if you have heard of it from him. If not, you can ask him to tell you about it. Because of that experience, he later lacked trust in women and even hated them. But you changed his mind. In fact, most of the women who took the initiative to approach him had an ulterior motive..."

"But he didn't refuse any of them.”

"No, he didn't." Olive thought that even though he had the shadow of being abandoned by his vain mother when he was young, and the shadow of being dumped by his beloved girlfriend who fell in love with a wealthy Hong Kong businessman later on, it was not enough to justify his indulgence, "Maybe he hasn't met the one he really loved, so he keeps seeing other girls. But when he does, he would settle down and be faithful.”

"But I believe in one old saying, it's easy to change rivers and mountains but hard to change a person's nature. I don't want to bet on the happiness of my life.” Janetta said clearly.

Olive shook her head and smiled lightly, "This old saying is indeed quite reasonable, but there is also a saying, a prodigal who returns is more precious than gold. My husband's brother was also a playboy like Kent. But since he met my best friend, he changed himself and was devoted to my friend. I'm not persuading you to try to accept Kent. I just think you should ask yourself if you can really ignore him."

Janetta kept silent, neither denying nor admitting. After a long time, she raised her head, and her voice slightly trembled, "Olive, I am afraid...”

"What are you afraid of, silly girl. I believe in my husband's vision. Kent is not a bad person. He has fallen in love with you and won't harm you. He did those things just because he wanted to keep you by his side and get to know him. Although he is smart, he would do something unreasonable sometimes. He is actually quite stupid in some way."

Olive said in her heart, Kent, that's all I can say for you. Whether you could get this beautiful girl depended on yourself.

Janetta kept silent again for a long time, being indecisive.

Olive felt that it was good to be indecisive. It proved that she cared about Kent but she was afraid to move forward because she was afraid of the unknown road ahead.

Olive left her alone and let her think it over. Feelings were something other people couldnt control. Others could give her advice but couldn't make the choice for her.

"Olive, guess what I caught?” Annie ran over, spreading her small hand. A firefly was flickering in her palm.

Annie looked very excited. Olive stroked her little head and sweated profusely. "You can ask your aunt to find you a glass bottle in the kitchen. Catch a few more and put them into the bottle. Then you can put it beside the bed when you sleep. You will find it's beautiful.”

"Really?" Annie's shiny eyes opened wider.

"Yes, but you have to be gentle and don't kill it."

She actually liked to do such a thing when she was a child. She would take a small transparent bottle, or even a plastic bag, catch many fireflies, and put them in it. After turning off the light when she slept, she would see many small shiny stars in the bottle. That kind of feeling was something that many children in the city cannot experience.

She hoped her daughter could also appreciate the fun. Unfortunately, it was not the season for fireflies.

Just when Annie pulled Ada into the kitchen, Alan and Kent had finished talking and went downstairs.

"What are you talking about?" Kent walked straight over.

Olive smiled, "Why? Are you afraid of me saying something bad about you?"

"Don't bother. I have been labeled as a bad man.” Kent looked at Janetta helplessly, but Janetta ignored him. He didn't know that Janetta was full of contradictions after talking with Olive. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Good, you have self-knowledge.” Olive smiled, suddenly thinking of something, and said in a very abrupt tone, "By the way, Janetta will start to work at Angel Holiday Hotel's Finance Department next Monday. I guess you should be okay with that.”

Would he be okay with that? Kent was obviously displeased, and said, "She is already my personal assistant.”
