My Bossy CEO Husband Chapter 265: Despair

Two hours later, the reporters left with satisfaction after getting the scoop they needed.The crowd
dispersed too not long after.As the night fell, the street lights in the community were eventually turned
on.

However, even those lights could not light up the darkness in Eris’ heart.

The wind howled in the empty street.

At that moment, Eris leaned against the wall, shivering in the cold.

Unable to take it any longer, her legs went limp, and she collapsed on the ground.

She gazed at the trampled lawn in front of her.As hopelessness came to her, she burst into tears.

"Boo...hoo..."

The howling of the wind mixed with her sobs sounded so eerie and terrifying together.

Those who could hear it would definitely shudder all over.

Eris wept for about thirty minutes.She only stopped until there were no tears left to cry.She had lived a
comfortable life since she was a child.

But now, she was left with nothing.

For once in her life, she suffered from extreme humiliation she had never thought she would
experience.

"Wendy, I fucking hate you!" she bellowed.

It seemed that she had not learned her lesson until now.



She blame everything on his sister than reflect on her mistakes.

In a fit of anger, she scraped the ground with all the strength she could summon, which made her
fingernails break and bleed.It was only a few moments later that she decided to get a hold of herself.

She leaned against the wall and staggered to her feet.She looked pathetic.Her clothes were covered in
mud and grass.

And her hair, which was tied into a neat ponytail a while ago, was now in a mess.

Not only that, her face was swollen after being slapped by that man.

Like a ghost crawling out of hell, her eyes were full of resentment.

Several children who were on the way home from school ran away in fear when they saw her.

Nevertheless, Eris ignored them and just staggered out of the community.

She felt that this was the worst day of her life.Little did she know, something worse was waiting for her.

About thirty minutes later, she finally returned to her apartment.

She had walked a long way that her whole body ached.She was exhausted.

The only thing she wanted at the moment was to find a place where she could lie down and sleep
without thinking about anything, even just for a while.

Eris walked out of the elevator the instant its doors opened.

But as she walked to the door of her home, her eyes widened in shock.Her home was old-fashioned.

There were two doors before one could enter her home.



One was a wooden one, and the other was an anti-theft door.

To her surprise, the keyhole of the anti-theft door was broken, and the door was unlocked.

The same thing happened to the wooden door inside.

At the sight of this, a sinking feeling emerged in her heart.

With her heart pounding in her chest, she lifted her foot and kicked the door open.

Click.

She turned the lights on.

There was nobody inside.

However, all of the things that she moved here yesterday were strewn all across the floor of the living
room.

She only moved in here last night, so her belongings were piled up in the living room unsorted.

But at this moment, the neatly packed boxes were all opened, and the lids were scattered everywhere.

Even her skincare products were all across the floor.

To her horror, all of her expensive clothes and bags were gone!

Eris felt nauseous.

Her knees buckled in helplessness, so she immediately leaned against the wall for support.

"No way! How could this happen?" she muttered to herself.



She got on her knees and looked through the boxes one by one, only to find that her handbags, most
of which were limited edition, were missing.

Even her clothes and accessories were not spared.Her most prized possessions were stolen.

Not even a single handbag was left.

All of her designer clothes were gone, except for some T-shirts and jeans.

‘Jewelry.."

Eris suddenly remembered her jewelry and accessories.She owned a lot of them.

Those were her only hope.

With this thought in mind, she rushed to the bedroom at once.

Although she did not pack up anything yesterday, she put her jewelry into the safe.

She turned on the lights the instant she reached the bedroom.

However, she was frozen into place upon seeing that the door of the cabinet was open, and her safe
was nowhere in sight.

"No!" she bellowed.

Despite seeing that the cabinet was empty, she still went to it and looked for the safe like crazy.

It was only natural for her to feel like this.

After all, her jewelry was worth a lot.



Her jewelry included her watch collection, jade pieces, and most importantly, the diamond ring that
Brian gave her when he proposed.

"Where are you? Come out!"

The safe was not miniscule nor was it enormous.

But even so, one could tell at a glance whether it was there or not.

Despite seeing that it was nowhere to be found, Eris did not give up and still searched the room for
another thirty minutes.

In the end, she found nothing.

She was at a loss and could only slump on the floor in despair.

‘Fuck! I lost everything!” Her legs went limp, and she collapsed yet again.

She was not as desperate as she was now even when her parents were put into jail, Brian broke up
with her, and the company banished her.

That was because she believed that she would still be able to rise from the ashes.

For the past three years, she had spent all her savings buying limited-edition handbags, clothes, and
jewelry Her collection had increased in value by now.

Eris was confident that she would be able to make a comeback with the assets she had.

But now, her last piece of hope was gone.

All gone!



"Ah!"

Eris cupped her face and wept.

On the other hand, Ryan, who was in the car with Precious, suddenly received a call from Luke.

"What is it?"

"Everything has been taken care of," Luke answered proudly.

"Hey.I deserve a reward!"

"Very well.I'll give you three more days for your annual leave."

"Oh, yeah! Just know that I love you so much, and I hope you're successful today!"

Ryan did not say a word and just hung up the phone with a smile.As he turned his head, he saw that
Precious was looking at him suspiciously.Her head was tilted to one side, and her chin was resting in
her hands.

Ryan looked at her and waited for her to speak.

For some reason, the little girl seemed displeased that her lips were curled into a pout.

"Well? Stop pretending! Ryan could not help but frown.He had no idea what the little girl was talking
about.

"Don't think that I'm too young to understand anything.Humph! I know a lot!"

Precious raised her chubby chin.



"I know what you and Uncle Luke were talking about just now." Ryan looked at her and waited for her
to continue.

"Humph! You've dealt with the bad woman already, haven't you?" Ryan was taken aback by this.

‘This little girl...Since when has she become so smart?”

"Dad, don't look at me like that.You're hurting my pride."

Although Ryan found it amusing, he withdrew his gaze as told.

When he was not looking, Precious secretly smirked.

This after, Luke took her to Ryan's company.

He and Ryan were talking about their plan while she was lying in the lounge with her eyes closed.

They thought she was asleep, so they did not bother to go out of the room to talk.

As a result, Precious heard everything.

But, of course, she would never admit that she had eavesdropped on them.

She would just say that she figured it out on her own, so they would think that she had become smarter
after being with Wendy and Raymond.

Precious was overjoyed!

"Precious..." Ryan called.

"What?"

"Are you feeling alright?"



Precious rolled her eyes at him.

"Dad, you've asked me that question 18 times today Ryan was stunned.

‘Really?’ he mused.

It was true.

In fact, Precious had gotten used to it.

Ryan always asked her this as he believed she had some sort of bond with Raymond.

"I'm fine."

Precious patted her chest.

"I feel like I can eat a whole fried chicken now!"

Ryan touched her head adoringly and asked, "Hungry?"

Precious stroked her belly and nodded in response.

"How about I take you out to dinner first?"

"No!" Precious refused.

She leaned against the car window and gazed at the passers-by.

"I want to have dinner with Mommy."

She would rather wait for a while if that meant being with her mommy.

Ryan checked the time on his watch.It was just 6:30 in the evening.



But as it was late autumn, it was already dark outside.

The street lights were now on.

According to Luke, Wendy should have finished her work by now.

While Ryan was lost in thought, Precious suddenly knelt on the seat, straightened her back, and
shouted excitedly to the window, "Mommy!"
