Semua Bab I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire!: Bab 181 - Bab 190

There are others who commit crimes several times, but remain free. Then I committed it once to ensure my survival, and I’m now locked up.I’m transferred to the state’s Correctional Center for Women. Every day Marius visits me, trying his best to uplift my draining hope of ever getting out of jail. He says that he and our lawyer are finding a way to pursue some of the Chinese tycoons to withdraw their support for Mei Zhou’s parents.“Bing and Hao Zhou remain in jail. Their assets also remain inaccessible to them. The only reason why these powerful Chinese are helping them is out of pity towards their fellow Chinese nationals,” Marius says.I know what that means - He’s gonna utilize money or any possible influence he has gained over the last few weeks to turn the tides into our favor. I hope it works, since we’re up against many wealthy and influential people - a more complicated fight than we ever had before.When the visiting hours are over, it’s time for us , the prisoners, to cl

MARIUS’ POV: -[“Mr. Thorne, we got them!”]- Omari’s voice, through the phone, brims with pride as he declares the success of their mission. I immediately share the good news to Hazel, prompting tears of joy to glisten her eyes. “I have to talk to the k.idnappers myself. I’ll leave you in the care of your personal nurse and about twenty of our bodyguards,” I say as I wipe her tears dry. I lean in for a kiss, before leaving the hospital and heading home. There are five k.idnappers tied up and locked up inside the storage room in our backyard. I glare at them so cold, that they shiver in fear. “P-please, Mr. Th-Thorne, don’t kill us,” one of them stutters. “That depends,” I reply. “In a few days, my wife’s hearing in court will begin. I want you to be there to confess your crime and Mei Zhou’s participation in it.” They all glance at each other, hesitation on their faces. “I bet you already know that your protector, Mei Zhou, is dead. And now that I have you, I can do whatever

Thud! Our bodyguards and house staff jerk in anxiety as I smash the desk in front of me with my clenched fists. “I know that no matter how much we beg or threaten you, you won’t confess your betrayal to us! And now, the trust that Marius and I have to those who are genuinely innocent has been tarnished too!” I growl. If only I can just fire them all and hire new ones, I will! But, who’s to say that the new ones won’t be infiltrated by our enemies’ machineries too?! Plus, I can’t jeopardize the source of income of those who are genuinely loyal to us! Marius gently holds my shoulder to calm me a little. He then motions to our lawyer to give the checks, amounting to one millions dollars each, to the grieving families of the four bodyguards who were killed yesterday. The four bodyguards received proper burials, but the justice on their deaths must wait. We can’t hand the traitor over to the authorities yet. The Association of Chinese Billionaires may demand to kill her while inside

I hold my breath as Charles approaches his wife. But then,... They start talking to each other, completely ignoring me and Marius.He doesn’t recognize us?!Quickly, Marius and I hide our faces with our surgical masks and pretend to be checking the patient and the apparatus surrounding him.After talking to his wife, Charles doesn’t even dare glance at his son, and just walks out of the room, utterly unbothered.I turn to his wife. “If you wanna save your life and your son’s from him, help us.”The wife shakes her head, fear rippling on her face. Still, I hand her a calling card that has one of the new phone numbers I’m using. “My husband and I have to leave before we get caught. But please, reconsider our request before it’s too late.”. Marius and I leave the room. We walk past the bodyguards as calmly as we can. When we get back to the room where we left the nurses, they’re gone!Panic crawls through my skin. We quickly take our clothes that we hide inside the bathroom. But,

CHARLES’ POV: There’s nothing! Crystal and Chris Wu’s cellphones can’t provide anything that’ll connect them to Marius and Hazel Thorne! I turn to Rain and ask, “Are you sure you don’t know them?” Rain replies, “They invested one billion dollars to my new business venture, but I don’t know them personally. And I also don’t remember ever inviting them to my prenuptial party.” Irritation courses through me. “You’re so s.tupid to not meet your investors in person! I’m not gonna be surprised why until now you can’t build connections on your own!” “And now we can’t be sure if we can trust those two or not!” Rain shrugs, unbothered in showing his disinterest. I can’t believe that I’m squandering so much wealth for this d.umbass! If only I’m able to produce my own son, I would never let him exist! Amber approaches me and seductively rubs her palms across my chest area. “Honey, I’m scared. Everybody is talking about us now. Shall we just confess our affair?” she asks without any hin
