Elissa was dumbfounded. She shouted, “What?”

I replied. “That’s right.”

Who knew when I’d be able to convince Christopher to get the divorce papers next time.

Seeing my mood, Elissa comforted me, “It’s okay. Divorce is inevitable if one party is determined. Besides, you two have already settled everything except for signing the divorce papers. Just consider yourself already divorced.”

I smiled and chatted with Elissa for a while before changing the subject. “What about you? Has Ivan Garcia come looking for you?”

Ivan helped with the move last time, and I still owe him a meal for that.

Ivan surely remembered this address.

Even if he didn’t, he could easily ask Christopher.

Elissa looked a bit down and said softly, “No, he wouldn’t dare come to your place.”

I asked, “Why not?”

Elissa replied, “He’s most afraid of Christopher.”

Later, I didn’t feel like cooking, and Elissa was terrible at that, so we ordered takeout.

Elissa was eating and chatting while occasionally checking her phone..

Suddenly, she looked shocked again, muttering, “That mother and daughter are making such a scene at the

courthouse?”

I was stunned for a moment, and Elissa handed me her phone.

A video taken by a passerby at the courthouse this afternoon was going viral online.

Who knew what forces were behind today’s incident, but the Valence Group kept trying to suppress the news, yet it

kept trending.

It’s like whack–a–mole; as soon as one was taken down, another popped up.

No one in Jacquar had dared to go against the Valence Group like this

The internet was full of criticism,

[OMG, the rich really know how to play! This stepdaughter is actually a prostitute.]

[Seriously, this woman must have some issues. Having a perfect husband like Christopher isn’t enough, so she sleeps. with his old man?]

[Have you considered that Christopher has a wife and might not want to sleep with her? She might just be looking for

[This mother and daughter duo, one homewrecker raising another.]

OMG, I used to feel sorry for Evelyn Valence’s mom, but now they’re all villains? I can’t even tell who to blame

anymore.]

Elissa said in surprise, “You’re brave. They were fighting like that, and you still dared to watch. Aren’t you afraid of getting involved?”

I picked up a soft piece of potato, saying, “Nope, I wouldn’t miss it for the world. God knows how long I’ve waited for this day.

I never hid my true feelings from Elissa.

Elissa pouted, “As long as they didn’t hurt you, it’s fine. Otherwise, I’d go beat them up.”

I continued, “Don’t worry, I’m unscathed.”

I even slapped Evelyn, so I came out ahead.

Just then, my phone rang, and the caller ID showed a familiar name- Ivan.

I didn’t answer and pushed the phone toward Elissa. “He’s definitely looking for you.”

Elissa was a bit annoyed, cursing, “This guy, he just won’t listen. I blocked him, so he changed his number to call me. Now he’s even calling you.”

I advised, “Answer it. Some things need to be cleared up.”

Ivan, a rich kid who only cared about eating and drinking, didn’t have any bad intentions. He only acted like a baby, not giving up until he got what he wanted, without considering others feelings.

“Okay.” Elissa nodded, taking the phone to the balcony. Her voice came through intermittently.

It seemed Ivan couldn’t understand why Elissa wouldn’t give them a chance and insisted on talking face–to–face.

Not long after, Elissa came back in, handed me the phone, and looked at me pleadingly. “Hope, will you come out with

me?”

I had just finished eating and put down my fork, asking. “Did you agree to meet him?”

Elissa helped me clean up the takeout boxes. “Yes, I did. He was too babyish the other day. He wouldn’t listen to what I

said, and now some things can’t be explained over the phone. It’s better to meet one more time and end it.”

I agreed, “I support you.“.

Elissa asked, “So, will you come with me?”

I smiled and teased, “Sure. If I don’t go, what if he kidnaps you and sells you?”

The place Ivan and Elissa agreed to meet was still that private club,

Elissa led me inside with ease. When we reached the private room door, I thought for a moment, whispering, “You go in. If I’m there, it might be hard for you to say some things. Call me anytime if you need me, and I’ll come right in.”

“Okay.” Elissa nodded and pushed the door open.

I stood outside, watching the waiters carrying fruit plates and dishes back and forth. Feeling out of place, I decided to walk slowly toward the nearby rooftop garden.

Winter had arrived, and the nights in Jacquar were damp and cold.

However, this club had spared no expense, making the rooftop garden look both beautiful and luxurious.

With artificial hills and flowing water, and rare plants, they had created a spring–like atmosphere in the bleak autumn. and winter for the wealthy.

Unexpectedly, as I approached the artificial hill, I vaguely heard a familiar voice coming from behind it, but the sound of the water made it hard to hear clearly.

I instinctively took a couple of steps closer and heard Christopher asking coldly, “Was the Kimberly Harris situation your doing?”

I was slightly taken aback.

Who was Christopher asking?

Was he referring to Kimberly wanting to marry Christopher?

Soon I knew who that person was.

Cecil’s voice was cool and clear. “Mr. Valence, words alone are not proof.”

Christopher sneered, “So it was you. I was the only one stupid enough to be fooled by you. Cecil, I’m warning you to stay away from her. She’s simple–minded and can’t play your games.”

Cecil laughed coldly but spoke earnestly, “That’s none of your concern. I’ve always been sincere with her. Unlike you, who hurt her time and again.”

Christopher spoke slowly, a calmy smile on his lips. “What a pity. No matter how sincere you are, she is still my wife.

Cecil asked, “Do you think that will bind her to you forever?”

“Getting anxious? Christopher smiled faintly.

Cecil was unfazed. “Why would I be anxious? You should be thinking about how to deal with Kimberly. She’s not like Evelyn. Offending the Harris family would be a disaster.

Christopher remained calm, ‘She’s just an adopted daughter…”

I was listening intently when suddenly, a hand patted my shoulder.

Already feeling guilty, I gasped in shock and turned to meet a pair of amused eyes!

jerry, why was he everywhere? Ever since I had met Jerry, he always caught me eavesdropping.

I wanted to ask something but held back, grabbing Jerry’s clothes to move to another spot.

Jerry, however, spoke up unexpectedly, his tone casual. “Where do you want to take me?”

Jerry’s voice was just loud enough for Christopher and Cecil to hear.

I was sure of it.

Jerry did it on purpose.

Behind the artificial hill, Christopher and Cecil, who had been confronting each other, stopped their conversation simultaneously. The next second, I heard the sound of footsteps approaching.

I glared at Jerry, who looked at me lazily and whispered, “Beg me?”
