The Regretful Ex-wife by Iced Coffee

Chapter 0023

What?

Diego’s greeting sent a shockwave all across the hall. It was as if a nuclear bomb had just dropped on them from the sky.

The guests were shocked, terrified, and in complete disbelief.

Everyone’s eyes were on Sean.

Wayne had turned deathly pale, whilst Tina looked crestfallen.

Patricia and Justin both looked like they had all their blood drained from their faces.

It was eerily quiet in the hall.

Nobody would have ever thought that Diego would address Sean so politely as “Sire”!

“I heard that there were a bunch of people who swore to ban Sire from their services,” Diego said slowly while the guests were still recovering from their shock.

His voice was low but strong, penetrating straight into their hearts. The group of company owners and shareholders who vowed to b Sean suddenly felt their legs shaking like jelly. They nearly fell to t ground in fright and began to deny it all.

“N-No way, Mr. Diego! There’s no such thing happening at all!”

“T-That’s right! Why would we ever ban Mr. Lakeworth from our services?”

“It was Wayne! Wayne was the one who started everything!”

“Yes, it was Wayne’s fault!”

“He started it first!”

“Good. There had better be no such thing happening at all,” Diego said, tentatively closing an eye to the matter.

The owners and shareholders all sighed in relief. As expected, Mr.

Black was a reasonable man!

“H-How did it all come to this?”

Wayne broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn’t think straight anymore.

“S-Sweetie, l-I wasn’t hearing things just now, was I?”

Tina was equally as shocked. She stammered a few times before she could even get her sentence out.

To think that Sean had been telling the truth when he said that he knew Diego!

And Diego addressed him as “Sire”!

“I-I don’t think so,” Wayne stammered out in difficulty.

Tina narrowed her eyes. “It’s impossible… This is fucking impossible!”

She couldn’t accept the truth, and she would not accept the truth either. She wasn’t going to believe it. Diego had to be playing a cru joke on her!

Thinking of this, Tina immediately looked at Diego and smiled

seductively at him. “M-Mr. Black, you must love jokes to be pulling our leg like this. You’re really here to give your blessings to us, aren’t you?”

“Do I look like I’m joking to you?” Diego asked, his eyes turning dark.

Tina shuddered.

“Commander Chase, throw them all into the sea!” Diego ordered, going straight to the point. He didn’t want to look at this woman any

longer.

“Yes, sir!”

The Black Army Commander, Trevor Chase, took one step forward, his eyes cold and steely.

“Mr. Black! Why are you doing this to us?”

Tina’s eyes were flashing with anger. Her tone was sharp as she screamed, “You promised us that you were going to give your

blessings to my and Wayne’s wedding! Why are you throwing us into the sea now?”

“When did I ever promise such a thing?” Diego asked with a frown.

“Wayne was the one who said so! He-”

“Stop talking!” Wayne cried, hurriedly clapping his hand over Tina’s mouth when he heard what she was saying.

Everything he told her about Diego had been an elaborate lie on his part. Diego never once said anything about giving his blessings to the couple at all. How could Tina challenge Diego like this and question him on his decision? Was she trying to ruin the both of them?

“Sweetie, let me finish talking! Don’t cover my mouth like that!”

Tina struggled out of Wayne’s hold and continued screaming at Diego. “I know why, Mr. Black! It’s because you’ve been bribed or hypnotized by that fucker, haven’t you?

“That fucker is my ex-husband. He’s done nothing but leech off me for five whole years! I know him the best and what he’s capable of doing!”

Diego’s eyes turned darker and more dangerous with each “fucker” Tina used to refer to Sean.

By then, Trevor had led the Black Army to Tina and they were about to

capture her and throw her overboard.

“Wait!” Diego suddenly raised his hand and stopped them.

How dare this bitch of a woman publicly insult Sean like that? Simply throwing her into the sea would be too kind and generous of him!

Tina still couldn’t read the room. Her eyes lit up with joy. “I knew it, Mr. Black! I knew that you’d be fair and just!

“Sean Lakeworth, you useless fucker! Tell me! What kind of black magic did you use on Mr. Black to hypnotize him like that?”

“Haha!” Sean chuckled coldly.

This bitch was still as imaginative as ever.

“Look, Mr. Black! Look at him! The fucker is laughing at us!” Tina screamed with a deranged look on her face as she pointed at Sean.

“Shut the fuck up!” Diego roared, cutting Tina off at once.

Everyone in the hall nearly had a heart attack. Even Tina felt as if her heart had leaped up into her throat.

Before she could recollect her senses, Diego roared, “Commander Chase!”

“Right here, sir!”

“This is a vile woman who is unbridled in speech and twists the truth as she pleases. She deserves to be slapped!”

“Yes, sir!”
