Semua Bab REBIRTH: MR. CEO, Let's Divorce!: Bab 41 - Bab 50

The sound of the door closing made Ashley looked back. She met his eyes that once mesmerized her so. She walked to the couch and made herself comfortable as she crossed her legs and said: “Where’s the divorce papers? You brought it, right?”After what happened today, Ashley was more resolute in divorcing him as soon as possible. She saw the deep schemes in Talia’s eyes and the snake-like gleam that flashed across her eyes when she glanced at Scottie. For Ashley, Talia was a ticking time bomb.Bombs should be eliminated as soon as possible.Sitting upright like always, his sharp eyes scrutinized Ashley openly as if he really wanted to see if this divorce farce was only to get his attention or she was really serious. Immediately, Jaxon got his answer.He coughed slightly, his fist covering his mouth as he averted his gaze to hide the emotions that quickly flashed across his eyes for a split second. He did not like this new side of him—the indecisive side that seemed to hesitate divorcin

There was a moment in her life in that distant past when Ashley followed Jaxon Elijah secretly to Country M. She did not mind that the place was chaotic. All she had in her stupid brain was the fact that Jaxon came with Talia. She followed them secretly to a casino where she met a disaster that almost killed her. Ashley was lucky enough to escape but she met a wounded unconscious man near a garbage can. She saved him.One night of sheltering him in her hotel room paired with the medicine she bought along the way became a ticket for her to have the connection for the so-called Triad or Black Society. It turned out that he was the leader and he was betrayed by a traitor that time when she saved him.Ashley was given a card that contained his personal contact information, something that many people would scramble for. She used it once for Jaxon’s sake when he was kidnapped by his business enemies. She called the number the second time when Scottie, at the age of thirteen, left him secret

The moment Ashley saw Jaxon in the Old Man’s manor, she knew that the Old Man knew about the divorce. Her steps did not falter. Dressed in a simple long dress that reached her ankles but showed her slender arms, she walked leisurely to the living room, her eyes fixed on her son who was running towards her with open arms.Immediately, Ashley shoved Jaxon at the back of her mind as soon as she embraced her son’s warm body. Sniffing his soft hair before she carried him for a moment, she exclaimed: “Little dumpling, you will become a little bun sooner or later!”Laughing while poking Scottie’s protruding belly, she walked to the Old Man who was seated on the single grand chair in the living room. She sat at the opposite of Jaxon without pretense and let Scottie sit next to her.“Grandfather…” Ashley placed her home visit gift on the center table before she greeted the Old Man with a smile. Unlike before, she was no longer trembling in front of him. After decades, she had witnessed Old Man

Makeup done, dress checked… Ashley was good to go. She was used to the lights that centered on her as well as the lens of cameras pinned on her every move and reaction. Ashley wore an elegant white tube silk dress that created a noble vibe. It complimented the Imperial Green jade jewelries she wore around her wrists, her hair, and her neck. White and neck gave off such a classic elegant vibe. “Bravo! My friend, who recommended you for this cover is spot on. She was an amazing jadeite stone gambler and you will absolutely love her.” Frederick Lavioski walked to Ashley. There was a hint of expectation and delight in his eyes as he tried hard to tune in his excitement. “Thank you,” said Ashley, “The purple jade jewelry will be next.” “Off you go, Miss Ashley…” Frederick made himself comfortable as he sat next to Allen, th

The contract was immediately decided by Director Helian’s team and Dylan as Ashley’s representative. From the start, Dylan felt he was walking on cloud nine! Although he had already seen the astonishing improvement of Ashley’s acting, this one still gave him a blow. The raw emotions in that short cut scene were so palpable that he even was momentarily in daze like all others in the audition room. In their hearts, whether they wanted to accept it or not, they knew that Zia was tailor made for Ashley or Ashley was tailor made for Zia. Either way, Ashley secured her third work in this year and Dylan pinched his thighs repeatedly. Amanda Serv walked to Ashley with a smile. “I want to learn from you so I can only audition for the female lead role. Wish me luck!” There was no hint of malice from the beginning even when Ashley was performing. Instead, Amanda, who was dedicated to the art of acting,
