Chapter 4 The New Boss Is Coming!
Five days later, Gavin finished the morning meeting and called his secretary Derek Ridings to his office.
“How do things go with Megan?”
Gavin faced the floor–to–ceiling window and looked out at the magnificent view of Polyergic City. His tall and upright figure cast an imposing silhouette.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Sheppard. There has been no progress.”
Derek nervously wiped his sweat. “And after that night, Mrs. Sheppard didn’t return to the recuperation center where she used to work. I went to her hometown in Cloud City, but the address provided was fake. I cannot find the White family there.”
“The address is fake?” Gavin turned around abruptly, his gaze gloomy and oppressive.
“Yes, I went to the local police station to check, but there is no such person.” Derek had called Valarie Mrs. Sheppard for three years, so he couldn’t change the address for now.
A buzzing sound echoed in Gavin’s mind. Who did he marry? A female secret agent?
“She left with Jason that night. Have you found any clues about Jason?”
“To be honest, Mr. Sheppard, if Mr. Dodson wants to hide his aflair, I’m afraid we won’t find anything…

The word “affair” made Gavin’s eyebrows twitch. Annoyance flashed in his eyes.
Jason appears to be an upright person. How could he be so low to seduce someone else’s wife?”
“Well… it’s not exactly seduction. It should be called taking over…”
Gavin cast a sharp glance at Derek, who was startled and coughed.
The image of Jason protecting Megan that night was vivid in Gavin’s mind. Jason’s eyes were filled with deep affection back then.
Somehow, Gavin felt upset.
How could his unremarkable wife have such charisma that even Jason, who was notorious in the wealthy circle for his indifference and lack of desire, became her protector and subordinate?
“Gavin, can we … not get a divorce?
“Because… I love you!”
“Liar!” Gavin squinted his eyes, emitting a chilling aura.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
At this moment, his phone vibrated on the desk.
Gavin collected his thoughts and answered the call from Stacey,
“Stacey, what’s the matter?”
“Gavin, I’m in the lobby of the Sheppard Group. Can you come and pick me up? I brought some homemade pastries, and I want you to taste them as soon as possible.”
Stacey’s voice came from the phone, sweet and affectionate. Derek was

lost in it.
“You’re at the company now?” Gavin’s brows furrowed.
“Yes, Gavin, what’s wrong? Don’t you want to see me?” Stacey asked sweetly.
“Yes, I’ll have Derek pick you up.”
After Gavin hung up the phone, a somber expression appeared on his face.
He hadn’t completed the divorce procedures with Megan yet, and the news of their impending divorce hadn’t been made public. Now, Stacey openly coming to the company to find him would surely cause a lot of trouble.
Gavin wasn’t afraid of anything, but the main issue was…
At that moment, his phone vibrated again.
Gavin lowered his gaze, and his heart skipped a beat.
“Grandpa.”
“You ungrateful brat! Did you completely ignore what I said?”
Leonard Sheppard’s angry rebuke came through the phone, full of indignation. “I told you that if you marry Megan, you can’t have any contact with Stacey!
“Not only did you not keep your promise, but you also brought Stacey into the company. You are shameless and embarrassing Megan! Come to me!”

Chapter 4 Th New Bobs Coming!
In the meeting room, the air became suffocatingly heavy.
Leonard, supported by his cane, sat down with the assistance of his secretary and Samuel. Leonard had a gloomy look.

Gavin stood upright in front of his elders, with a straight posture. Stacey was blocked outside the door. As Leonard said, a woman like Stacey, a home wrecker, was unworthy of seeing him.
“Speak! What is going on with Stacey?” Leonard slammed his cane hard on the ground.
“Dad, please calm down first…” Samuel hurriedly patted Leonard’s back and glared at Gavin with frustration.
“Grandpa, the three–year period is over.
Gavin’s voice was hoarse as he said, “You promised me that my marriage with Megan would last for three years. After the three years, whether we continue or divorce, it’s up to me.”
Leonard’s face turned pale in shock.
For the past three years, with the company of the obedient Megan, Leonard lived happily every day. Over a thousand days had passed in the blink of an eye, and he failed to realize that the deadline had already arrived!
“Now, I have decided to end this marriage and be with the person I truly love. You should not have any objections. Megan has signed the divorce agreement, and we will set a date to complete the formalities,” Gavin explained indifferently.
“What? You’re already divorced?” Anger rose inside Leonard. When he stood up, his vision went black, almost causing him to fall.
Gavin quickly rushed forward to support his grandfather, but Leonard

angrily pushed him away
“Dad! They haven’t obtained the divorce certificate yet. They just signed the agreement. You cannot get worked up, especially with your history of stroke!” Samuel hurriedly tried to console Leonard, afraid that Leonard’s condition would worsen.
“This is a disaster! I’m not satisfied with my daughter–in–law. Why can’t I find an adorable granddaughter–in–law?”
Gavin stood frozen in place, not knowing what to do, and Samuel ended up being dragged into the mess as well.
“I want Megan! Go and bring Megan back. Without her, I can’t sleep peacefully or even eat. I don’t want anyone else. I only want Megan to be my granddaughter–in–law.” As Leonard grew older, he behaved more and more like a child. Unexpectedly, he threw a tantrum.
“Gavin, call Megan and bring her to see your grandpa!” Samuel urged in a worried tone.
“Grandpa, it’s meaningless for you to do this. Even if I call her back now to accompany you, my marriage with her has come to an end. There is no possibility of continuing.”
Gavin thought it was better to face the pain head–on than to prolong the agony. With time, everything would fade away.
“Ah!” Leonard shivered all over and fell backward.
This sudden change startled Gavin and Samuel. They immediately called the doctor and searched for medicine, causing chaos.
Helpless, Gavin could only grit his teeth and call Megan.
However…

Not only was Megan missing, but even her phone number had been canceled.
“Damn it!” Gavin’s eyes turned red with anger as he clenched his fists tightly

On the other side, in front of the KS World Hotel…
The top executives were already waiting outside to greet the high- ranking leader who would be arriving soon.
“I heard that the new general manager is a young woman!”
“Hmph. I don’t believe it. Four male managers came before, and none of them turned things around. All of them have been transferred or resigned. How can this girl fix the mess? It’s a joke!”
“I heard she’s Vinson’s daughter…”
“Vinson has so many mistresses. This girl must be his unfavored illegitimate daughter, right? How could Vinson send his beloved daughter to clean up this mess?”
Laughter erupted among the crowd.
“She’s here! The new boss is here!”
A top–notch Rolls–Royce parked steadily in front of the gate, followed by several top–class Maybachs, presenting an imposing spectacle.
Everyone saw the license plate number 9999 and suddenly fell silent. They held their breath in astonishment.
The car door opened A pair of imposing black high heels with red soles came into their sights.
The next second, a graceful figure with flowing black hair and a stunning appearance walked down from the car. Her eyes were sharp like autumn wind, making it impossible for the crowd to meet her gaze.
“Hello, everyone”
Valarie greeted them and showed a stunning smile. “I am your new general manager, but I am not an illegitimate daughter I’m sorry to disappoint you.”
As Valarie finished, the few people who had been mocking her earlier broke out in cold sweat
A few minutes earlier, inside the car..
Valarie hacked into the two surveillance cameras outside the hotel entrance with her laptop.
