Chapter 59 Betty's lips tugged at the corner.
She said, “The depth of our feelings is unrelated to the duration of our marriage.
Perhaps it was Mikayla’s perception, but Betty's emotions seemed slightly off today.
She was excessively calm, like the calm before a storm.
Mikayla wondered if Betty could also sense something off with Johnny.
She also considered if Betty was just in a bad mood.
“Ms. Davidson, did you invitetoday for any other reason?” Betty took the tea and looked at Mikayla with a hint of cold mockery.

Mikayla admired Betty's observational skills.
She didn’t deny it, “I do have something to say, but I'm not sure if it's presumptuous.” Betty chuckled, “Johnny’s dirty deeds are being exposed and blackmailed. You know about it, right?” Mikayla was surprised, “So, Mrs. Lane, you are aware too?” “CallBetty.” Betty's face had a touch of disdain.
“The identity of Mrs. Lane doesn’t seem to suitanymore.” Betty informed Mikayla that she received the news last night, only then realizing what Johnny had done.
Betty, what do you plan to do?” Mikayla was aware that they had been married for over 20 years. With family ties, children, and vested interests, divorce was a challenging option for them.
Hence, numerous women, particularly those with stature and social standing like Betty, opted to tolerate the situation when they discovered their partner was unfaithful. They were reluctant to expose their shattered side to the world.
Betty sipped the tea and declared, “I won't tolerate deceit. Johnny must face the consequences for this.” Even if it was only their second meeting, Mikayla greatly admired Betty's straightforward personality.
“Have you thoroughly considered it? Ansoft is about to go public. Any mistake could be detrimental, or everything might end up in vain.” Indeed, practical concerns proved to be a substantial challenge.
Destroying the hard-earned foundation in a moment of anger was not something everyone could do.
“Do you wantto advise you to endure?” Betty raised her eyebrows.
“I won't advise you on any decision. But | know, no matter your decision, you must have your reasons. If there's any way | can help, feel free to ask.” A smile appeared on Betty's face.
“Ms. Davidson, you and Céleste are both kind people. I'm sorry that the promise | made you before to help you cannot be fulfilled right now.” “It’s okay.” After such an incident, she couldn't invest in Johnny again.
“I have something to attend to. I'll take my leave first.” Betty stood up, walked to the door, and suddenly turned back.
She asked, “Ms. Davidson, if Ansoft changes their mind, do you think it’s still worth Investing in?” Mikayla instantly understood Betty's implication.
“You mean Johnny might withdraw his proprietary technology?” “Think about solutions and countermeasures in this regard.” After saying that, Betty walked out of the VIP room.
Mikayla vaguely guessed Betty's thoughts but hesitated to be overconfident.

Johnny's affairs were not exposed in the previous life, and she didn’t know Betty. Ansoft smoothly went public.
In this life, many things changed as well due to her actions.
It was still early when Mikayla left the spa.
Mikayla decided to visit her grandfather's house. Her sudden return hbrought great joy to Eduard.
She accompanied her grandfather for dinner and casually asked, “Grandpa, how has the family company been doing recently?” “Most of the matters are handled by your uncle. I'm getting old now and can’t manage the company with the spassion,” Eduard replied.
Eduard sensed something amiss.
He asked, “What's the matter? Do you want to join the company? That would be great. In the future, you can be Minito’s official perfumer!” “Grandpa, perfuming is just a hobby for me. | don’t want to turn a hobby into a profession!” Mikayla said playfully.
Eduard sighed, “Oh, what a pity. You have such talent!” In Eduard’s eyes, she was the best at everything, with a natural talent for anything she did. Mikayla had grown accustomed to this praise.
“Grandpa, nowadays, many people entrust the management of their companies.
to professional teams. Shouldn't we also consider hiring sprofessional managers?” Mikayla asked.
“Why would we need a management team when everything is going well?”
