She Quit Her Family and Found Herself novel Chapter 132

Without a doubt, he was confident, successful, respected, and admired.

But now...

The stinging imprint of Mrs. Coleman's slap still burned on his cheek. His clothes, soaked in seawater and rain, reeked of the ocean.

He was Herbert Jewell. He had never been this pathetic in his entire life.

But what tortured him the most was H&J Technologies—the company he had poured his heart and soul into.

This retreat was supposed to boost morale, but instead, it had backfired spectacularly, making everything infinitely worse.

At that moment, Herbert felt as though an invisible hand had abruptly flipped the switch on his life's upward trajectory.

Everything around him was crumbling, and the future only looked bleaker.

But he couldn't understand it. He was still the same man. Nothing had changed!

Just then, a lazy, mocking voice drifted over from a short distance away.

"Dylan, I heard a saying recently that makes perfect sense."

It was Caspian Sterling.

"What's that, boss?" Dylan asked.

Caspian cast a sideways glance at Herbert, who looked like a drenched, pathetic dog slumped on the sofa. "He who wrongs his wife invites ruin."

Catching his drift, Dylan immediately looked over at Herbert, noting the way the man's body visibly stiffened. He had definitely heard them.

Putting on an exaggerated expression of realization, Dylan nodded. "That is profound. A man really needs to treat his wife well!"

Caspian scoffed lightly. "Obviously. I'll treat my wife perfectly."

Dylan pressed his lips together, thinking to himself, *Boss, you should probably win Ms. Atherton over first.*

He hadn't even won the girl yet, let alone married her!

Of course, Dylan didn't dare say that out loud.

Herbert looked up, watching Caspian and his assistant stroll out of the lobby and climb into their waiting car. He stared into space for a long time.

*He who wrongs his wife invites ruin?*
