Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 373 Being Detained

Irene wanted to know what she did wrong, resulting in the current situation.

Before Irene could think of a solution, the company encountered a tricky problem. Bailey

contacted her immediately.

“Ms. Wade, the goods at the dock have been detained. It has been detained for three days when I received the news. If we delay any longer, we will lose a big deal.” Bailey sounded very eager.

Irene had received a good education and was the successor of the Wade Group, so she naturally

would not panic.

Irene calmly asked, “Did you check the reason why the goods were detained?”

Bailey stammered, “I heard that it was because of your fiancé. Mr. Gage reported that batch of

goods in private.”

“How could that be!” Irene’s voice was loud, and her face was full of disbelief.

“Have you investigated clearly? If what you said is wrong, I will never forgive you easily and will sue you for slander.” Irene couldn’t keep cool, and her words carried the viciousness that she had never displayed in front of others.

Bailey paused for a few seconds before he remembered to answer. He said with a weak voice, “Then, I will go and confirm it with the staff at the dock.”

“OK.” Irene raised her hand to rub her eyebrows. She felt that her emotions had changed. Irene felt something was wrong. She was not in the mood to hide her emotions. Irene simply answered and

hung up.

The news that Manuel attacked the Wade Group warned Irene.

Irene also knew that in terms of individual capability, she was not Manuel’s match.

If Irene let the temporary crisis go without taking action, then it was very likely that it would

become an irreparable loophole.

Thinking of this, Irene picked up the car key and hurried back to the Wade’s old house.

Brady was watering the flowers in the garden when the servant came to report that Irene had returned. Brady’s first reaction was to say with a displeased expression, “Why are you running

around instead of going to the company to deal with work?”

“Grandfather, I have something urgent to discuss with you.” Before the servant could lead the way, Irene

rushed over impatiently.

Brady frowned and said angrily, “How did I teach you? As the heir of the Wade Group, you have to

be calm no matter what happens.”

Brady knocked hard on the ground with his cane and glared at Irene. “Look at what you have.

become now. It disappoints me.”

Irene pursed her lips, not daring to refute a single word.

When Brady finished speaking, he slowly walked to the lounge chair and sat down. Brady said.

calmly, “Tell me, what happened?”

Irene briefly described how the goods were detained and her guess about Manuel.

Brady’s expression changed. He said, “You only found out after three days?”

Brady took a deep breath and glared at her. “If Bailey did not report to you in time, or if there were

other unexpected situations, would you have been cheated?”

Irene knew that she had made a mistake and that she should not have placed all her focus on

romance.

Brady saw that Irene lowered her head and did not speak, and his anger slowly subsided.

Brady knew that it was useless to be angry. The only thing Brady could do now was to stabilize the

relationship between Irene and Manuel. Brady knew that he must understand why Manuel was

targeting the Wade Group.

Brady did not think deeper about the issue. As an entrepreneur of the older generation, he naturally

had his pride.

Brady did not leave any evidence about what he did.

Brady was confident that Manuel couldn’t find anything.

“Grandfather, what should I do?” Irene could not stand being ignored by Manuel. She would go.

crazy.

Brady looked at Irene unhappily and said, “The Wade family has taught you a lot. It’s just seducing a

man. Can’t you even do this?”

In the end, Brady lost his temper and said, “Good for nothing.”

Brady turned around and walked into the house. After taking a few steps, he found that Irene was still in

the same place. Brady stopped and scolded, “What are you waiting for? Come with me.”

Irene quickly agreed, and the two of them went to the study room one after another.

After discussing for about two hours, Irene came out of the study with a serious expression.

Irene closed the door gently, and her mind was a mess.

The words that Brady had said constantly echoed in her ears.

Irene bit her lips. She knew that this was probably a wrong decision, but she would rather bet on it

than lose it helplessly.

Manuel was in a meeting when he received the call.

Manuel looked at the caller ID and muted his phone expressionlessly, continuing the meeting.

Irene was relatively clever. She did not call Manuel again. Instead, Irene waited for half an hour.

Then, she called Manuel again.

This time, Manuel picked up.

Manuel’s voice was cold. Irene was not tired of hearing it. Manuel asked, “What is it?”

“Grandpa wanted me to invite you to have a meal at the Wade’s old house tomorrow.” Irene made a

short talk and directly stated her purpose.

Manuel did not refuse. He knew that he still needed to maintain the necessary disguise. Manuel

replied, “Alright, tell me the time and location.”

Irene felt sad as she stiffly reported the time and location.

Irene thought, so, unknowingly, we are already so unfamiliar?

“Is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, I have to work.” The way Manuel spoke sounded

unusually cold.

Irene couldn’t stand it anymore and closed her eyes. She said, “Can’t you treat me a little better?”

Hearing this, Manuel paused when he was signing the contract. The next second, he sneered. Manuel said mercilessly, “Have you forgotten why I was engaged to you?”

Irene knew what Manuel wanted to say and immediately interrupted him, “Remember the time.

Don’t be late.”

After that, Irene hung up.

Irene did not want to hear the names of other women from Manuel, especially the name of Ainsley.

Brady had always liked to be flattered.

Regardless of whether it was a family dinner or a business banquet, Brady had to organize a grand

one.

However, unexpectedly, Manuel came to the Wade’s old house, and for the first time, it felt quiet.

Irene, who was holding his arm, looked natural and did not seem to have any conspiracy.

Manuel narrowed his eyes, temporarily relaxed. He knew that he had to wait for their tricks.

“Haha, Manuel is here. Sit down quickly. You are really lucky today. My friend sent a box of fish from abroad. This is not easy to get.” Brady sat in the main seat in high spirits, and his face was full

of smiles.

Manuel calmly presented the gift and then calmly said, “Thanks to you, I am deeply honored.”

“You are still the one who knows how to make me happy. Unlike Irene, she only knows how to act spoiled and can’t do anything big.” Brady laughed loudly.
