Chapter 6

作者: Hammer Titan
Sabrina frowned when she heard me referring to her as my ex-wife.

I thought that she would yell at me and accuse me of losing my temper and playing hard-to-get again, like she did in the past.

But to my surprise, she just sighed and held my hand as she said, "Are you still mad at me? Honey, I admit that I ignored you in the past, but I'll pay more attention to you now, alright? Can you stop being angry at me? Where do you think you can go after separating from me?"

I had no idea why Sabrina was suddenly acting like a whole different person, but when she said the last sentence, I immediately felt indignant.

"The world is wide and vast. Why would you think that I have no place to go?"

Sabrina replied, "You know that's not what I meant."

I was so frustrated that I didn't even want to talk anymore.

I'd bet Sabrina just didn't want to give me half of her assets. Otherwise, I simply couldn't think of any reason why she wouldn't want to divorce me.

  • Ten Years His Cover—Now I'm Free   Chapter 10

    Although the post never explicitly mentioned names, surprisingly, plenty of my ex-schoolmates left tons of comments under it.It was just a matter of time before Joshua's misdeeds were exposed in the open for all to see and judge.That wasn't all. Sabrina, Mom, and Dad were all dragged into the mud along with him. Over the next few days, my phone seemed like it would explode from the sheer number of calls I received on a daily basis.I stared at the culprit, who was now standing before me. I said helplessly, "You little minx, who told you to poke your nose into this?"Bianca just grinned happily as she served me a perfect cut of steak. "Don't get mad, mister. I know you're not the kind of person who shows his scars just to make others feel guilty, but why should you stay silent when you're the victim? "If they don't even know the extent of hurt they've caused you, they would probably just think of it as a tiny inconvenience. "That's nowhere near enough to make up for all the su

  • Ten Years His Cover—Now I'm Free   Chapter 9

    When Joshua heard that I had a gift prepared for him, his eyes grew alert as he became completely on guard.I guess he still had some sort of self-awareness after all. He knew how much I loathed him, so it wouldn't make any sense for me to prepare a gift for him in the first place.But before he could reject me, a young lady in a short pixie cut walked out among the crowd of onlookers who'd stopped to watch us.Joshua's face went pale as soon as he caught sight of the woman. He blurted, "Dolly Brown!"Dolly puffed out some cigarette smoke, giving Joshua the once-over a few times."It's been a long while, ex-boyfriend. It seems like you've been living quite the life. By the way, you told me that you'd marry me as soon as you'd gotten your hands on the Jenkins family's fortune. Does that promise still count?"Dad's eyes widened in shock as he looked at Joshua in disbelief.Joshua hurriedly shook his head. "Mom, Dad, don't listen to her! Have you already forgotten? It was her! She'

    Three months ago, one of the thugs involved in beating Joshua up had just been released from prison.I'd met up with him on the very day he'd gotten out.I recalled Joshua had told me back then that he'd had a friend waiting for him at the shortcut. I guessed that if that "friend" really existed, then he would be the only person in the world who could prove my innocence.I'd gone through all of the people in Joshua's circle of friends, but I'd found nothing. That was how I'd come to the conclusion that the "friend" he'd mentioned might've been one of the thugs involved.As it turned out, I didn't end up just learning about the so-called friend's name—I even learned the entire story behind the deliberate cover-up.I was going to reveal the truth the next day and destroy Joshua with one lethal blow.In a way, I would also be giving Sabrina a very memorable divorce.After making all the necessary arrangements, I drowsily went back to sleep.In my dreams, I felt as though someone k

    I had to admit that Bianca was way better than Sabrina at seeing through liars from the start.I took the second apple she peeled for me and chuckled mockingly. "Oh, maybe his depression got triggered or something."I paused for a bit and made sure to emphasize the next few words. "Severe depression, I believe."Bianca giggled. "That's not severe depression. That's schizophrenia. I strongly suggest that he be taken to the psychiatric ward so he'll recover faster."I burst out laughing at that. Meanwhile, Sabrina just stared at me in disbelief. She'd never thought that I would be as cold-hearted as this and make fun of Joshua, who was ill, along with another stranger.However, what shook her the most was that while I behaved like an emotionless robot when with her, I could be so expressive and laugh along with another woman.A spark of jealousy rose in her chest. She yelled, "That's enough, Ashton Jenkins! How did you change into someone like this? No wonder your parents are dis

    Bianca's words were so shocking that I nearly jumped up from the bed.Meanwhile, Sabrina's voice turned shrill on the other end of the line. "What did you say? Who are you?"However, Bianca had already hung up on her. She even turned the phone off afterward.When she saw me glaring at her, she grinned meekly and said, "I didn't mean to say that you were dead. I just thought that your wife was being ridiculous."Her own husband is lying in the hospital, and yet, she didn't even ask about you or how you're doing. Honestly speaking… you've got quite terrible taste in women."I just smiled a little helplessly and bitterly, mumbling, "Not just my wife. I'm terrible at picking my parents and my close buddies too."Even the daughter I had turned out to be the wrong choice.My stomach suddenly growled loudly. Looking sheepish, I asked, "Sorry, but could you get me something to eat?"I hadn't eaten anything since that night, and I was feeling ravenous.Bianca immediately took out her p
