Dear Sweetheart novel

Wyatt was still furious when he left the mansion.

As it was only two in the afternoon, he decided to drive to the company. No employees dared to breathe loudly,

much less approached him when they witnessed his hostile demeanor and gloomy countenance.

He took out the rest of his anger in the conference room by yelling at a manager who made a mistake.

The other managers weren’t feeling any better as they listened to his endless shouting silently.

F*ck, man. Mr. Lopez looked so happy on his birthday when he gave everyone wedding favors and said his wife was

pregnant. What happened afterward that changed him so drastically? Is it because his wife miscarried? Is that why

we’ve become his punching bag as of late? Everyone had their guesses, but no one dared to ask any questions.

Ninety minutes later, the hellish conference was finally over. Everyone was scrambling to leave the conference

room as they hoped there wouldn’t be another meeting that week.

Wyatt sat in the conference room alone for a very long time. No one knew what he was thinking.

It wasn’t until the janitor entered the conference room and mentioned work hours were over that he snapped back

to reality.

By the time he left the building at a quarter past six, the sky was turning dark.

When Pamela asked him if he was coming back home for dinner, he initially wanted to say yes. However, she then

started talking about Jessica. “Is Jessica still not back yet from her business trip? Maybe you should visit her? Her

pregnancy must be giving her a difficult time. You can’t just let her keep doing her job overseas. What if she gets

tired?”

Wyatt’s flame of fury burned brightly in his heart again when he heard that. Annoyed, he spat, “She was the one

who wanted to go there! There’s nothing I can do about it. Stop paying so much attention to her, Mom. If you have

nothing to do, just go to a beauty salon or something!”

“Why are you speaking to me like this?” She paused, then inquired, “Did you have a fight with Jessica?”

“No!”

Lividly, she confronted, “I bet you did. Can’t you be more mature, Wyatt? She’s pregnant. Why are you getting

angry at her—”

“I still have things I need to do, Mom. I’ll be ending the call now!” He was getting miffed by the conversation, so he

hung up his phone, not wanting to go home anymore.

It was then a friend of his asked him if he was free to visit DM Premium Club for a drink. Wyatt replied to the

message before driving to the establishment.

Upon entering a private room in the club, he noticed the people inside were having a lively time.

“You’re here, Wyatt!” His friend immediately stood and greeted him with a smile after spotting him. “I was afraid

you won’t have the time to have fun with us anymore now that you’re in charge of Lopez Group!”

Wyatt sat on the couch and gently kicked him. “You already sent me a message, so, of course, I have to come,

even if I don’t have the time for it. Otherwise, I bet you lot would ostracize me.”

The group in the room laughed in response.

Those who were in the same social circle as Wyatt were children of affluent families. As everyone drank and

chatted with each other, they also exchanged resources and contacts.

Since Wyatt had just taken over Lopez Group and had a good relationship with Curtis, he stood out when compared

to the rest of them. It was only natural that his peers were surrounding him. If there were something he wanted,

they would hand it to him in hopes of establishing a good relationship with him and getting a share of profits from

other projects in the future.

Wyatt felt less awful as he drank and conversed with his friends in an intoxicating atmosphere. The resources he

handily obtained also helped lift his mood. Feeling a little tired after drinking for a while, he went to a spot with

fewer people around to rest.

As he laid his legs on the soft couch lazily, he removed the phone with a cracked screen from his pocket and

unlocked it.

The phone belonged to Jessica.

Gianna’s words and the screenshots made him skeptical. After he imprisoned Jessica in Zenisan Villa, he confiscated

her phone and unlocked it easily.

As he read through the planning notes on Jessica’s phone, especially the one involving her desire to cooperate with

Gianna to trick him, he felt as though his heart was stabbed by multiple blades.

Still, he could endure those minor emotional wounds.

The deadliest strike to his heart was when he saw Jessica aborting his child in the ward. When he recalled her

apathetic expression and uncaring tone, he wanted to strangle her to death.

The more he read her notes, the more he wanted to torment her.

It was then one of the rich kids, Jacob Valentine, who had gone out for a long while, returned to the room and

exclaimed, “Hot d*mn, my dad’s here too! After he checked my message, he called me to meet with him. I was

wondering why when he told me the daughter of Hausen’s CEO had returned to the country. He wants me to work

with Hausen and is pairing me up with that guy’s daughter!”

“Wow, your dad’s setting up a blind date for you?” Someone teased, “That’s nice. You don’t even need to look for

anyone.”

“As if!” Jacob rolled his eyes and grumbled, “Everyone knows about the daughter of Hausen’s CEO! The more

plastic surgery she got, the uglier she became! Now, she looks like a godd*mn abstract painting!”

His friends laughed at his misfortune without holding back.

Then someone asked, “Did the CEO of Hausen get involved with… that incident?”

“What incident?” The group was intrigued by that person’s question.

“You guys don’t know about the incident that happened in DM Premium Club a few years ago?” That person

lowered his voice and resumed, “So, this is what I heard. One night, when the CEO of Hausen had a business talk

with other CEOs, he fancied the female assistant the CEO of Stargrasp brought with him. When Hausen’s CEO said

he wanted to ‘play’ with her, Stargrasp’s CEO let him without hesitation. In fact, the latter even joined in the fun. It’s

not an uncommon thing in their circle, especially when they can just use lots of money to shut everyone involved

up. However, to everyone’s surprise, that assistant was quite the fierce one. Not only that, but she also had a

miscarriage that night. Unable to bear the anguish, she killed herself.”

“D*mn. Was it that dramatic?” another guy commented as the crowd murmured amongst each other.

“D*mn right.” The guy telling the story shrugged before continuing his tale, unaware that Wyatt had turned his sight

to him. “Those who were present that night shut their subordinates’ mouths with money and slandered the

assistant’s parents. The two of them followed their daughter into the afterlife in a similar fashion. It’s an old and

pretty well-kept secret. The only reason I knew was that I overheard my uncle’s conversation with someone about

it.”

As Wyatt continued to use the phone in his hand, he grinned lazily. “Really? I heard Hausen’s CEO is Norwal City’s

role model. Everyone in the industry is jealous of him and his wife!”

One of the rich kids snorted. “Some people seem honest on the surface but are absolutely disgusting in the dark.

However, Hausen’s CEO has a lot of resources in his name. It’s an undeniable fact that a collaboration with him is

profitable.”

“Really? Maybe I’ll meet with him.” Standing up, Wyatt shoved the phone into his pocket. “Considering I was

worrying about what Lopez Group should do after I took over, I suppose I have to seize such a fantastic

opportunity.”

Someone teased, “I heard you have a wife already, Wyatt. You better be careful. When you talk business with him,

don’t accidentally get too involved with him. Otherwise, you may find yourself in a lot of trouble.”

Wyatt’s eyes darkened as he shook his head. “I can’t believe you guys took my joke seriously. If I do have a wife, I’ll

be asking you all for a monetary gift right now.”

“See? I told you all he was lying. There’s no way he has a wife. I win the bet, so give me my money.”

“You intentionally asked Wyatt that question, didn’t you?”

“Like h*ll I did! You guys better not be sore losers!”

Wyatt was speechless because he didn’t expect the crowd to make a bet on whether he had a wife or not.

As everyone continued to chat with each other, he alone felt as though his heart had been shot full of holes.
