Semua Bab REBIRTH: MR. CEO, Let's Divorce!: Bab 21 - Bab 30

The process of taking Scottie went smoothly than she expected. For one moment, she was already gearing up to a showdown against her nominal husband, but it did not happen.Nanny Doris merely gave Scottie and Ashley a box, saying it was for them to eat. When they were waiting for their flight in the airport lounge, Ashley curiously opened it.The box contained burrito and sandwich—enough for the two of them. Ashley smiled yet the smile did not reflect in her eyes.Thinking about the people of the mansion, sometimes, Ashley could not help but ponder about the complexity of human nature. She had lived to the point wherein she did not believe in romantic feelings anymore.Now, Ashley knew that only when she became powerful would she have the right to speak and to fight for her rights. The world was unfair. Although laws kept the social norm, the fact about the strong trampled the weak was true.In front of the behemoth like the Elijah Consortium, she was like an ant right now. They could

“We’ve been filming for two months. Thanked goodness ‘Youth 1990’ pushed forward the taping schedule or else, we’re done.” Dylan used his usual exaggerated tone as he slumped next to Ashley who was busy packing her things.“You better wash up. You stink.” Ashley was the first one to excuse herself in the film’s celebration party. As someone who had seen too many dark shits in the industry, drinking was a ticket to tabloids.With this in mind, Ashley decided to symbolically toast with the crew, ate her dinner, and faked an illness which worked perfectly fine. This time, she was in a hurry to pack her things because tomorrow was the day that she would start the first step of the many ones in building an empire of her own—Rosemary Jewelry Store’s grand opening.The trademark of the brand was finally registered along with the corporation name which was still Rosemary. Rosemary Jewelry Store was the first company of the many she was planning to establish. Ashley knew what industries would

After many years of being the CEO of Elijah Consortium, even when the time when he first became one and many questioned him, this was the first time that Jaxon Elijah was stumped by a question. And the person who left him speechless was his son who could barely reach his waist.“Who told you that?” Jaxon immediately thought of the child’s mother. “Did your mother talk nonsense again?”Scottie’s innocent eyes blinked and still stared straight at Jaxon’s eyes. “I called Mom because…because…I’m sad. Daddy leaves Scottie alone again. I called Mom. Scottie always saw that sick auntie with Daddy…always with Daddy.” He paused as if he hesitated for a moment before he continued. This time, Scottie’s eyes were slightly red. “Daddy, my friend said that his Daddy and Mommy are filing for divorce because of another auntie. Am I…am I going to be like my friend?”Jaxon finally stood up. He closed the meager amount of distance between him and his son. It only took him three steps, but at this moment

The stone cutter master picked up the wool that Ashley pushed. This was the apple-sized wool that Ashley first discovered which was surrounded by thick white smoke to the point that it was barely visible for him when using the Jade Eyes.“How to cut it?” asked the stone cutter master. With the way he moved, it was shown that he was an expert in this field.Seeing that there were at most ten wools in her cart, the people who were still leisurely choosing and observing the wools had become interested and crowded the stone cutting area. This place was located at the innermost part of the store but it was only a few steps away from the display area of the wools.Ashley did not mind the crowd. In her eyes, they were all his money bags. Instead, she focused on the apple-sized wool. With the use of her lucky physique, she was able to determine how to solve the wool without damaging the jadeite inside it.“Grind it.”The sound of the tool used for grinding wools resounded. Grinding was differ

Every raw jade stone with a thick white smoke surrounding it was selected by Ashley. It all came in different sizes and shapes but the quality inside—only Ashley knew that each one was more valuable than the other.There were raw wools as big as a fist while there were as big as a human torso. Common raw jade stones were as big as a football or as huge as a human head.Three hours later, all the carts were filled with raw jade stones. Secretly, the sales guide could not help but think that the customer was a prodigal for buying so much without the guide of an expert. The sales guide even concluded that maybe the store where Ashley was working was short with money that was why they were pushed to the point of relying on luck. Unbeknownst to the sales guide, all the wools contained jadeites which were high class category!When the truck of Ashley’s processing plant came, she watched for a few minutes before she proceeded to the other nearest supply points. Just like the first one, she a
