No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 215

The story of Eleanor took a dramatic turn online. People were finally able to glimpse the strength and competence behind her gentle demeanor—and witness the way her ex-husband Ian stood protectively by her side.

Clearly, the division of assets among those eight companies had been the result of mutual agreement between the couple.

Within less than three days, Eleanor’s name had been completely cleared.

After a week out of the spotlight, Eleanor finally reappeared in the boardroom of her largest holding, the Vespera Grand.

She was flanked by Ellington and Frazier, both of whom followed her lead as she took her seat at the head of the table, the position of CEO.

Ellington smiled, “Ms. Sutton, today’s agenda includes signing contracts for a new coffee shop and two international restaurants joining our portfolio. At noon, we’ll have a tasting session for the new menu items and wines.”

The Vespera Grand’s general manager, a foreign executive from Fairhaven, had run the hotel for a decade, managing it with both dedication and skill. Under his leadership, the hotel’s performance had been steady and impressive year after year.

He stepped forward to greet Eleanor warmly, shaking her hand before briefing her on his recent evaluations of the café and restaurants. Eleanor listened intently, then signed her name on the final page of each contract.

Lunchtime brought the tasting session, held in the hotel’s top-floor tearoom. Dozens of staff and managers attended, treating Eleanor, their new boss, with deference and awaiting her every instruction.

By two in the afternoon, Eleanor had delegated the rest of the day’s business to Ellington and made her way back to the research building.

Inside, Faye was already gathering people for a meeting. When she saw Eleanor walk in, her expression shifted.

Eleanor was back.

Gwenda stood up immediately. “Eleanor, come sit here. Would you like some water?”

Eleanor shook her head. “No, thank you. Let’s get started.”

Gwenda’s eagerness didn’t escape Faye, who shot her a look of disdain. Faye turned to Eleanor, voice edged with skepticism. “Eleanor, now that you’re managing eight companies, are you sure you can keep up with the research side of things?”

Eleanor smiled. “Corporate management isn’t really my forte. I still prefer focusing on the science.”
