Chapter 40: Chapter 40

"Chairman Leo?" Emily screamed as if she had discovered a new rcontinent,

"Do you feel that this back figure looks like our Chairman Leo?"Initially,

Barbara was not interested in this sort of gossip in the entertainment circle.

However, upon hearing Emily's words, she uncontrollably opened the Facebook page.Polaris's love affair had gone up to the first post on Facebook, and there were a few pictures attached too.

The first photo showed she was in the arms of a man. The second showed that they must have been kissing. The third photo was of a man carrying her into a mansion.

Although it only captured the back of the man, Barbara was so familiar with this figure. She had seen this back in the morning.

Just by looking at the back of this person, one could not be a hundred percent sure that this man was Leo, she comforted herself so.

However, it was not only Barbara who felt that this back looked like Leo's, but everyone in the office felt that it looked like his.

And the reason why Barbara was so sure that this back figure was Leo was that the woman was wearing the silver—gray suit.

Barbara had known him for a long time that this was the only color Leo had ever worn.Everyone had gathered around to discuss,

"Could it be that the wife of our Chairman Leo is this star who has just turned eighteen years old?""Eighteen is not the legal age of marriage.

I don't think so.""Now, two people don't have to get a marriage certificate to be a husband and wife.

As long as they have an affair, they can be called a couple.""That's right.

Besides, some people have certificates but they don't have the actual affair as husband and wife, and that's only a fake couple with a so—called name."

The heated discussions of her colleagues reached Barbara's ears, and it was as if those words were directed at her.

Barbara smiled bitterly, could it be that her fate could not escape the word "betrayal"?

From her point of view, even if she didn't have any feelings for Leo during this marriage, as the two of them had the name of husband and wife,

then they should be loyal to each other.They had only been married for a month and yet he was already having an affair with another woman outside.

This made her, as his wife—in—law, unable to endure it.Barbara suddenly felt that the air in the office had stopped circulating, and her heart was blocked by something.

She greeted Amy and requested her to let her take a day off to get some fresh air.

She also wanted to seriously see through her marriage relationship with Leo.

People were coming and going on the streets, and everyone had a clear destination. Only she was walking aimlessly and didn't know where to go.

From her initial bewilderment when first arriving in Barcelona, to the moment when she felt like she could not leave here,

she had been working hard these past three years to forget about the bad things in the past.

However, there was always an accident that made those bad things reappear in her mind, letting her experience those injuries and betrayals over and over again.

Just as she was finally able to face that person, another sudden news overwhelmed her.

Barbara even told herself that since it was a loveless marriage, she might as well pretend not to know and acted as before.

However, she also had her own pride. She really couldn't pretend not to know it when in fact she had known it."

Barbara…"A man grabbed Barbara with powerful force, causing her to lose her balance and fell into his embrace.

Clare looked at her angrily, "What are you doing? Do you want to die? "Barbara pushed him away, but he held her even more tightly.

Three years ago, when she was abandoned by her closest kin, she did not even think of seeking death. Now, however, to her,

he was only a Leo that she could not yet consider to be familiar with, how could she have the thought of going to die? Clare said,

"If I hadn't stopped you in time, you would have broken into the traffic."Clare had sent people to keep an eye on Barbara,

so when Barbara came out from the Wing, he received the news and quickly followed her."

What does it have to do with you?" Barbara struggled with all her might, "Let go of me first.""Of course, I definitely won't let go of you."

He liked the faint scent of her body. When he hugged her, it always reminded him of the beauty of their first love.Even if she was married, Clare could ask her to divorce.

No matter what the method he used, he had to rob Barbara's heart back."Clare, even if it is supposed to be a beg to you,

I still please you not to appear in my world again, and don't disturb my life ever again." Barbara did not struggle anymore, and spoke weakly.

Clare continued to confess. "Barbara, the person I love has always been you. This time, I sincerely want to bring you back. As long as you come back with me,

I will solve all the Wing's problems for you. "Hearing that, Barbara suddenly pushed Clare away with strength that she did not know where it came from.She bit her lip, holding back the tears in her eyes,

"Clare Smith, you'll only be satisfied if you let me reopen the bloody scars before and put them in front of you, won't you?""Barbara …" Clare looked at her feeling pitied."

Don't call me that." Barbara took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and opened them again.

When she opened her eyes again, she lost all of his strength, and muttered, "Clare, think about it seriously, do you really think we can go back?"

Clare then said, "Barbara, as long as you want, we can go back. I am able now, and the old man at home can no longer control me.""

Heh heh... Clare Smith, are you really dumb or are you just playing dumb with me?

" Barbara suddenly laughed until tears were flowing out of her eyes."Barbara, I know what you care about is the relationship between me and Ellis, but I didn't marry her."

After staring at Barbara for a long time, Clare finally spoke.Hearing Clare's words, Barbara felt that he looked down on Clare even more.

Men, were they all so heartless?"Clare, I'm begging you, don't appear in front of me again.

Let me live my own life." With that said, Barbara turned and left.She just wanted to walk by herself and think about how she should go along her own path. She didn't want to see anybody..Gary walked to Clare's side,

"Young Master Smith, Miss Barbara has walked far away, do you still want to follow her?""What if she follows? No matter what I say, her attitude is still firm."

Clare sighed, then said, "How is the thing going with the Wing?""If the Wing can't undertake new projects, then the only thing left for them is die."

Mentioning the Wing, Gary was very excited. The moment the Smith Group spoke out,

many small companies did not dare to cooperate with the Wing anymore and the amount of business they had was greatly affected.

This was what Gary did the most to vent his anger after following Clare."Is there any movement from that Young's side?" Clare asked Gary, but his gaze was focused on Barbara in front of him who was walking further and further away.
