《The CEO’s Savage Ex-Wife》全部章節：第 41 章 - 第 50 章

That morning, Julian got dressed and walked out of his room. He was about to leave for work when he noticed that the door to Sydney’s room was slightly open. He paused on his tracks and observed the room through the slightly opened door. He hadn't gone into that place since Sydney left. And even before she left, it had been a long time since he spent a night there. Two years before the divorce, a crack had formed within their marriage due to how busy he had gotten and the way he had started seeing Sydney as nothing but a gold digger who had married him for his money without supporting him in any way. While they were married, Sydney didn't demand much money from him, but the money he gave to her made him consider that unlike Ashley whom he had thought was the true Steinfeld heiress, Sydney was dependent and was out of his league. And for some reasons it made him start losing his interest in her. But who would have thought that the woman he looked down on for years was the same woman wh

Even after Sydney left the apartment, she couldn't get over the stench of rotten flesh she had inhaled. It made her feel sick in her stomach. All through the drive back to her office, she kept thinking about what had happened. She had found the document missing and the hitman dead on the same day, it had to be more than a coincidence. She was certain that Ashley was behind it, but just how far will Ashley take her jealousy before she stops? A lot of people had been hurt or killed due to it, and it annoyed her the most because Ashley was using her influence to oppress those underneath her just so she could hurt Sydney. The car was parked in the company’s parking lot, and Sydney got out of the car with a grim face. Starting with the discovery of the missing documents down to smelling the rotten flesh of the dead hitman, it was an understatement to say her mood had been destroyed for the day. The moment she stepped into the lobby of the company building, everyone tensed when t

Jade could have easily just stated that she was suspicious of him and was bothered by seeing the same necklace she had lost being worn by his secretary, but it wasn’t like Arthur would be honest with her if he was having an affair with his secretary or not. Besides, he was in the midst of a serious meeting and she was causing a scene. So instead of speaking out and openly challenging him, she decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and swallowed her suspicions. “I came to see you because I am having an outing with my friends, and I wanted you to know that I wouldn’t be able to look after Iris,” Jade lied.Well, most of it was the truth. She indeed had an outing with her friend, but that wasn't enough reason to come to his office to tell him that. Arthur frowned as he thought about what she had told him. “Why did you come all the way here just to tell me that?” He questioned, looking skeptical. “You could have just texted me.”“Well…” she cleared her throat and brushed an invisi

Because she stopped at Arthur’s office before leaving for the hangout with her friends, she arrived at the restaurant late and met Hailey and Quinn already seated at their reserved table. Jade forced a smile on her face as she joined them at the table. “Hi, girlies!”Hailey smiled when she saw Jade. She placed her hand on the edge of the table and leaned forward, studying Jade. “What happened? You came late.” She nodded at Quinn who sat across her, and looked back at Jade. “Even Quinn, the latecomer among us, got here before you.”“I got busy with something, but never mind, I am here now.”Hailey wiggled her brow at Jade when she heard what she said and smirked. “You got busy with something?” She arched her brow and added with a mischievous smile. “Something like what?”Jade understood what Hailey was hinting at so she played along and smiled. “It is whatever you are thinking it is.”Hailey covered her mouth and shook her head. “You all are enjoying your marriage. It makes me miss my

A footstep echoed on the stairs before a voice was heard.“What is going on here?”Jade looked up and saw Sydney standing at the top of the porch, looking down at her.Jade walked away from Stella and went to meet Sydney.“Can we go somewhere more private?” She asked. “I am here to talk to you about something."Her mother was about to object when Sydney said, “Okay, follow me.” She walked towards a terrace by a foundation and looked back at Jade. “Why are you here?”Jade was about to tell Sydney what had happened to her mother and how she needed fifteen million dollars for her treatment, but no matter how much she tried, the words stayed stuck in her mouth. She tightened her hands around her bag. “I need the money you owe my brother.”Sydney furrowed her brow. “What money?”She didn’t understand why Jade thought she owed Julian any money. Was she referring to the money he had given her while they were married?A side of Sydney’s lips curved into a bitter smile. If Julian made his sis
