His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1363:

Kenia nodded and patted Belinda’s hand.

Belinda spent the entire afternoon keeping Kenia company. Thanks to her presence, Kenia felt a lot better.

Meanwhile, in a house in another part of the city…

Baker was seated in the living room, his face grim.

“Don’t worry, Baker,” Holley reassured him. “Everything will be fine.”

Still, Baker couldn’t shake his unease. He had this keen sense of foreboding, as if something terrible was just waiting to happen.

Just then, his phone rang.

He glanced at it and saw his assistant’s name flashing on the screen. Baker sat up straight and picked up the call. “Hello?”

“Sir, I’m afraid something bad has happened! I’ve been receiving calls left and right from our business partners, saying that they’re pulling out of our collaboration deals with them! And that one project that has been in the works for so long, the…”

“One that is one step away from contract signing, it’s been canceled as well! The worst part of all is that some of our own board members have called to resign from their posts. What are we going to do now?” The assistant sounded panicked.

Baker’s face darkened. “Wh-what did you say? Some of our business partners are backing out?”

He couldn’t wrap his head around it.

These people were some of his closest friends!

Moreover, they had been involved in numerous business cooperations for over a decade! How could they suddenly bail on him without any warning?

The assistant replied, still frantic, “Please, you need to come up with a solution as soon as possible. We’ve already invested enormous funds into those projects. We can’t afford to lose a single one, let alone all of them!”

“I understand,” Baker said, his voice tight, before ending the call with a hardened expression.

Holley was visibly alarmed by what she had overheard. “What’s going on, Baker? Do you think Mr. Clark is finally making his move against us?”

“Who else but Lucas could pull something like this?” Baker’s face contorted, his expression fierce with rage.

Holley bit her lip, her face grim.

The inevitable had finally arrived.

But… Could the Wright Group survive such a blow?

Baker didn’t spare Holley another word. He quickly made a call.

“Hello, Baker,” came the clear voice of a middle-aged man on the other end. It was Godwin Thompson, one of Baker’s business partners.

“Godwin, what’s happening? Did someone say something to you?” Baker asked.

Godwin sighed, his tone heavy with resignation. “Do you even have to ask? It’s Mr. Clark. Baker, what did you do to cross him? He has made it crystal clear—starting today, no company can work with you. Those of us with existing partnerships with you were ordered to sever ties immediately, with all losses fully covered by the Triumph Consortium. What an extraordinary show of power! Baker, what did you do to provoke this kind of wrath from Mr. Clark?”
