No matter how angry Jack was, he tried to control his emotions before speaking, "It turns out she was having an affair with a younger man. Her fitness trainer—they had been in a rtionship for the past few years."

Be couldn’t hide how shocked she was at hearing Jack’s words.

Had his wife lost her mind? Despite having a husband as perfect as Jack—handsome, wealthy, and doting—she still cheated on him.

What else could his wife be looking for?

A young man? No. Nonsense. Although Jack is now in his thirties, he still looks young. If new people met him, they might mistake him for someone still in his mid-twenties.

Did his wife cheat because of time? Yes, maybe because of that. He is too busy running an intersterpany like RDF Group. He also often goes abroad, so perhaps, just maybe, his wife felt lonely and found her fitness trainer as a source offort.

However, whatever the reason, that woman shouldn’t have done that.

’What an ungrateful woman!’ Be couldn’t help but scold Jack’s wife in her mind.

"Jack, I’m sorry for what you went through."

Be expressed her sympathy for him from the bottom of her heart. They were so close enough to cause her heart to feel hurt for him. If she were in New York, she would probably confront that woman for daring to break her best friend’s heart.

"It’s fine, Be. Everything is in the past now. There’s no need to talk about her anymore. She isn’t worth our time any longer."

Be noticed Jack smiling at her, but she could tell his smile didn’t reach his eyes.

Instead, she saw sadness and disappointment in them.

They were silent for a moment.

Be allowed him some time to collect his thoughts. She could sense that he was feeling stressed and upset.

After a while, she asked, "Why did you only find out now?"

Jack had a high level of self-control, yet hearing Be’s question, his calm face slowly turned dark.

"I trusted her so much and always prioritized her happiness over mine. I never even imagined she would betray me for a second," Jack exined with a shrug.

He continued, "She said the other man could give her what she needed: attention. She was getting more attention from him because she hadn’t been getting it from me recently. I’ve been too busy with thepany—"

Be could only sigh. She had already suspected that, and now she was unsure how tofort him.

"I hope your divorce process goes smoothly, Jack. If you need my help, please call me. I’m always here to listen to everything you want to discuss!" Be sincerely said.

Be wanted to stand beside Jack to lessen his sadness and burden, as he had done when she had trouble in the past, separated from Tristan, and moved to a foreignnd. Jack and Harper were there to offer help, and she appreciated what he did for her and Dax then.

"Don’t worry. I’m fine now. Really, I’m fine," Jack smiled, trying to convince Be that he was okay. He didn’t want his best friend to feel sad, either.

Be doubted it. She could see sorrow lingering in his gaze.

"Okay, okay, stop talking about that damn woman. How’s your life there?" Jack tried to divert their gloomy conversation.

Be agreed that there was no point in talking about that woman. She immediately informed him about thepany’s recent progress and the incident at the restaurant.

Jack could no longer sit and rx. He sat straight and brought his head closer to theptop to hear Be more clearly.

Be described how Kelly Davis, Andreas Corby’s secretary, took Dax hostage and eventually injured her hand.

"Damn it! How could she do that to Dax?" Jack couldn’t help but curse. "Is he alright now? And how about your hand?" he asked worriedly.

Be felt warm inside as she observed Jack’s genuine anger and concern.

"Dax is fine. However, my hand still needs many days to healpletely. This is one of the reasons I can’t contribute much to thepany. And, also, my lovely hubby put me under house arrest," she joked.

"Show me your injury," he asked.

Be raised and showed him her injured palm.

Seeing Be’s palms in bandages upset him. He said, "Be, why didn’t you tell me immediately? And why didn’t you allow Sam to guard you?"

Be began to answer but stopped as Jack spoke again.

"Listen, Be, you can’t push Sam away from you. You need to let him stay by your side. He is the one I assigned to ensure your safety. Your safety is his first priority. Help him do his job, Be. And you’ll help me reduce my stress about your safety.

I’m really concerned here."

He paused to take another deep, long sigh. "Be, you know what? I’m responsible for your injury because this incident is rted to thepany."

Be smiled at him before she responded.

"Jack, please; Tristan is already overreacting about my safety. You don’t need to add to it; I feel dizzy here. My security here is probably tighter than the First Lady’s. I feel like a world’s top singer; I have many bodyguards."

"However, tight security is crucial. We deal with various people out there, Be. Sometimes they be friends, and sometimes they be enemies. That’s why I insisted on sending Sam to you. Yet, you asked him to handle the Sentinel Network," Jackined.

Be chuckled.

She ignored him as something crossed her mind: her conversation with Tristan, who had asked her to stop working. If she wanted to work, Tristan suggested that she not work as CEO but as a board executive who only needed to give opinions if required.

"Jack, there’s something I need to tell you."

"What is it?" Jack was taken aback, seeing that Be looked sincerely tense now.

"I n to resign from my position here by the end of this year. I hope you will understand my reason and ept my resignation."

Jack was shocked. No words could leave his lips; he was only staring at her with so many thoughts now filling his mind. He had already imagined this conversation since he knew Be had returned to Tristan.
