Destined by One Night: The CEO's Pursuit

Chapter 228

Ch. 228 / 281 Apr 07, 2026

Guillermo was so angry that he spoke out without thinking.

On one hand, Guillermo felt that he owed Malcolm a lot.

And the misunderstanding between them could not be explained clearly.

Every time Malcolm saw Guillermo, his gloomy eyes looked like he had a deep hatred for Guillermo.

On the other hand, Yvonne, the woman he had been protecting, had been lying to him. It badly impacted Guillermo's dignity as a man.

Yvonne stared at Guillermo in disbelief. How could Guillermo say such insulting words to her?

Since Yvonne married Guillermo many years ago, this was the first time Guillermo scolded her, and scolded her so harshly.

Was she that bad, like Guillermo said, animal-like?

It was ridiculous!

Yvonne sneered at the bottom of her heart, 'Human beings might not necessarily do something kind!'

The tears instantly streamed down her face, and her breath seemed to be filled with intense pain.

Yvonne was indeed despicable to Malcolm, Florence, and Elvira. She played dirty tricks to drive them out of the Lowe family.

But if they were not driven out, how could they have such a rich life?

Who could understand the bitterness, pain, tiredness, and cruel reality that was hidden in her heart?

Hearing these insulting words from her husband, Yvonne was miserable and shameful.

"Guillermo, how can you treat me like this? I've been with your wife for over 20 years, and I've always put you first. Did I end up like this?" Yvonne yelled at Guillermo in a tearful voice.

Guillermo's gaze turned cold when he looked at Yvonne's graceful face. Her tearful expression was pitiful.

The words that Guillermo was to say were instantly stuck in his throat, and he could not say them.

All the unpleasant words were strangled in his throat when he saw the face that was covered in tears.

Suddenly, two people entered the office in a hurry.

They were Hugo and Yvonne's secretary, Samuel.

Samuel lowered her head, and her face was full of guilt.

Guillermo frowned when he looked at them, and he shouted angrily, "What are you doing here? Get out!"

Hugo looked at the furious Guillermo, then quickly lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "Dad, don't be angry. This matter has nothing to do with mom."

"It was Samuel. Mom has always been nice to Samuel. Last time, Malcolm came to make a big fuss at the company."

"Samuel was so angry that he accidentally uploaded the photos of Malcolm and the married woman on the website. That was why today's incident happened."

Hearing that, Yvonne looked at her son, with tears in her eyes. This was the only thing Hugo had done correctly these years.

Samuel looked up at Yvonne. There was something indescribable in his eyes, complicated and serious.

Yvonne kept a straight face and looked at Samuel. Samuel took the blame for her today, and she would treat him even better in the future. Samuel had been working for her for many years, and he had always been doing his best to make Yvonne feel assured.

However, Samuel could no longer stay by her side after he took the consequences of this incident.

"Mr. Lowe, this is all my fault. It was my own decision. It has nothing to do with Mrs. Lowe. As for the video followed it might be the other party taking advantage of the popularity of the news to deliberately frame her. Mr. Lowe, I hope you can look into it."

Samuel said and looked at Guillermo with a guilty expression.

Guillermo glared at Samuel angrily and then turned to Spencer. "Spencer, hold a press conference right now. Let Samuel explain to the media. We can't bear the stocks dropping any further."

"Alright, Mr. Lowe. I'll go now." Spencer stood up, pulled the corner of his clothes slightly, and strode out.

Yvonne's panicked and uneasy heart instantly calmed down.

Yvonne stood in the place, with tears streaming. She experienced fears, worries, and peace of mind. This process left her feeling miserable in her fleshy heart.

"Mom, are you alright?" Hugo gently held Yvonne. He glanced at his father, whose face was ashen, and did not dare to say anything else.

Hugo and Samuel had discussed this matter in advance. Someone had to stand out to solve the problem. Otherwise, it would have a great impact on the company.

Samuel had always been cautious. What he had done today was due to his momentary negligence, which resulted in such a situation.

"Darling, it's clear now. It wasn't me who did this!" Yvonne instantly changed to a tender model.

Yvonne knew this man so well in front of her. Men of their status like Guillermo needed tenderness and consideration rather than anything else.

In front of such a gentlewoman, men would all be touched.

Guillermo's anger had subsided quite a bit, but his anger toward Yvonne remained the same as just now.

Julian's words had been deeply input into Guillermo's mind, and Guillermo thought them more and more reasonable.

It seemed that Guillermo had been wrong for years. He did not recognize the real face of the woman in front of him.

What was shot in the video took place in his house. Even if someone faked it, it couldn't be so realistic. Moreover, Guillermo was the person involved. It was half a year ago, and he still remembered that scene.

As long as Malcolm came back home, either Nina or Malcolm would be hurt.

However, Guillermo always protected Yvonne and thought that it was Malcolm's fault for being rebellious.

Last time, Guillermo fell to the floor and wanted to see Malcolm. Malcolm told him about the car accident. After Malcolm left, he called Spencer to investigate it.

But there was no result yet.

Guillermo wearily walked to the sofa on the side and sat down. He had always thought that he was the winner in life. He had a great son. His wife could take care of the company with him, and his children were filial. So he was much less distressed.

However, Guillermo felt like a joke, melancholic, and lost, and he could not get rid of this feeling.

"Darling..." Yvonne called out in a soft voice, and she was slowly moving toward Guillermo.

Even though Yvonne was still very upset and angry at what Guillermo had just said, at this moment, she had to regain Guillermo's trust.

Otherwise, what was all that she had done before?

Yvonne used all means to drive Malcolm and Elvira out.

From Yvonne's point of view, all the humiliation was temporary, but money and power were eternal.

Guillermo glanced at Yvonne and then said, "Hugo, ask the driver to send your mother back home."

"Alright." When Hugo heard this, he was finally relieved.

Hugo thought, 'As long as Dad allows Mom to go back, Dad will not pursue this matter anymore.'

Yvonne nibbled her lip. Guillermo had to look away from her pitiful appearance.

Yvonne knew that she had to wait until his anger subsided a little to give him a satisfactory explanation, and Guillermo would believe her by then.

"Darling, I'll go back to rest, then. Don't be too tired. Go home early tonight." Her gentle tone was filled with consideration.

Guillermo couldn't help but nod.

Then, Yvonne went back home in relief.
