A Divorce Over a Nap Chapter 9
Jessica and I decided to get married in October of the following year.I slowly retired from the entertainment industry to officially take over the family business.I accepted a few interviews during the transition period and received positive responses.Clifford Corporation was constantly on the trending charts. It was discovered that they were involved in tax evasion and embezzlement of public funds. It was hard to keep up with the constant stream of bad news surrounding them.In the end, they had no choice but to declare bankruptcy.Elena and Maria had invested a significant amount of money in Chris. Naturally, they were determined to get him to cough up the money. Their constant harassment caused him to have a mental breakdown, which ultimately led to him being locked up in a mental hospital.I thought that our paths would never cross again after the dust settled.But some people were like leeches. You had to lose a bit of blood before you could get rid of them.It didn't t
A Divorce Over a Nap Chapter 8
A bald, old man who was dressed in a suit emerged from the hall five minutes after Chris made the call.The man had an unfamiliar face.I had never seen him in my life, but since he had been invited to join Johnson Group's annual company banquet, he was probably a close relative.The Cliffords immediately surrounded him when they spotted him. Their tones were colored with arrogance as they bombarded him with complaints.Mr. Johnson scrutinized me with his tiny eyes. "Where did this brat come from? How dare he stir up trouble at Johnson Group's annual company banquet? Get out of my sight now."Just then, my phone chimed, notifying me that the countdown was over.Jessica would arrive any second now.I refused to appear in such a pathetic state before her.I swiftly dialed the hotel manager's number and bolted toward the dressing room.I had no doubt that, from Elena's and the others' perspectives, I looked like I was running away with my tail between my legs.…Dad ecstaticall
A Divorce Over a Nap Chapter 7
In the end, I couldn't get a glimpse of "Mr. Johnson"'s face. But to be honest, I wasn't too worried about whatever scheme Elena was cooking up.They could have their fun until the truth came to light.I was in the undisputed first place after the music competition program was broadcast.My name dominated the trending charts."It's been years since Thomas showed his face on stage, but he sure came back with a bang!""No one does it like Thomas does. He's just in a league of his own with his looks and his voice. I just can't figure out why he decided to retire all those years ago.""I heard that he got married to a wealthy woman."Meanwhile, articles about Chris were relegated to columns that nobody paid attention to in the entertainment news.I knew that Elena must be pulling out all the stops to promote Chris to their so-called connection in the Johnson family.However, whatever they were up to had nothing to do with me because I had regained my explosive popularity.Of cour

"Thomas!" Elena exclaimed.I was just about to apologize when I realized just who I had collided with.My good mood soured in an instant. What rotten luck to run into her here of all places.I ignored Elena and prepared to leave, but she chased after me. Surprise flickered in her eyes as she gave me a once-over.I felt repulsed by her gaze.It turned out that men weren't the only ones who shot salacious looks at other people. It was even more disgusting when women did the same thing."I want you to give up your spot to Chris," she said. "I've already convinced the judges. All you have to do is nod. Of course, I'll compensate you handsomely if you agree."The corners of her lips curled up into a smile. "You must have spent quite a pretty penny on your outfit. Do you even have enough money to eat?"I was just about to make a retort when I glimpsed Jessica walking toward us from the end of the hallway out of the corner of my eye.I suddenly didn't feel like talking anymore.I wa

The man in the front passenger seat looked back at me.It was Gravity Tech's Caleb Batford.I stared at him in confusion after I snapped back to my senses.Caleb nervously ran a hand through his hair before saying, "To be honest with you, I've wanted to speak with you in private for a long time now, Mr. Johnson. But I didn't get a chance to do so because you've been lying low for the past few years. I didn't expect to run into you today."I wondered if our meeting was truly pure coincidence.Since I had been stuck in my marriage for such a long time, I knew that I needed help if I wanted to start over. Naturally, I wouldn't turn away anyone who sought me out of their own volition.…The car slowed to a stop in front of a hotel.One of the hotel staff members led Caleb and me to a private booth. A teacup came flying at me the moment I stepped through the door."How dare you force me to pick you up, you damned brat?"The voice belonged to none other than Dad.Dad had nearly en
A Divorce Over a Nap Chapter 4
It didn't take long before Elena signed the divorce agreement. She also hired someone who managed to find a way to let us skip the cooldown period.It was clear that she wanted to finalize the divorce as soon as possible.I couldn't shake the feeling that her sudden change of heart was a little strange, but I didn't spend too much time thinking about it.I had a shoot scheduled on the day that we were supposed to process the divorce agreement, so I arrived at the courthouse a few minutes late.Elena had bombarded my phone with a barrage of messages. Her tone was both insulting and smug."Don't tell me that you changed your mind about getting a divorce, Thomas? I knew that you wouldn't leave me. You love me so much. How could you bear to leave my side?"She stared at me in disbelief when I appeared before her.I had finally seen Elena for who she truly was during this period of time. She was an utterly despicable person. She wanted me to grovel at her feet before we finalized the
