All Chapters of Second Marriage to the Billionaire: Ex-Husband Begs Me Not to Go: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

From the other end of the phone came Archer's gentle laughter."Tomorrow, Miss Jackson can verify before we get the marriage license."Verify what... this was going too far.Aria's breathing became uneven as she covered her face and lay on the bed. "I'm tired.""Rest well."Archer said nothing more, but Aria's face was flushed as she hung up.She twisted and rolled around on the bed, her breathing growing more erratic.When she finally stopped, she would think of Archer's words again and couldn't help rolling another turn on the bed.Just as her heart began to calm, someone knocked on her hotel room door. The service attendant at the door showed no unusual expression, smiling as they pushed a cart full of pastries and snacks."Miss Jackson, these are from Mr. Duncan."Aria was momentarily stunned as the attendant continued, "Mr. Duncan said to enjoy some sweets, cheer up, and rest well. Tomorrow will be a new day."Aria's heart fluttered.She felt that Archer had timed this

A deep rose-colored belt cinched the pale pink dress, creating a striking color contrast that added a vibrant, lively touch to the flowing gown.The wavy hem of the dress trailed long behind her, and when caught by a gentle breeze, the feathery embellishments swayed like a dreamlike wisp of clouds.Aria couldn't take her eyes off this dress.Though the color was quite fresh and bold, there was no denying that this gown resembled a princess dress from a fairy tale—the kind that would captivate any woman's heart."This gown suits you perfectly," the stylist commented.Kent's gaze also fell on the dress. From his straightforward male perspective, the dress was indeed beautiful. Though not red, it looked almost like a wedding gown! Even more suitable for Miss Jackson."I'm going to get divorced, not walk a red carpet. Isn't this a bit too extravagant?" Aria asked.Surely only celebrities dressed like this for events."Not extravagant at all!" Kent jumped in emphatically. "Miss Jacks

"Aria, where's that man? You had to bring him along for our divorce?"Larry lowered his voice, clearly embarrassed and not wanting the reporters to hear.Kent played with his phone nearby. Hearing this, he looked up and gave Larry a sidelong glance, an ambiguous smile directed at Larry's mouth as he clicked his tongue very softly.Larry immediately recalled the day Kent had pinned him down and forced water down his throat. A chill ran through his body.Not daring to provoke this troublemaker, he entered the registry office with a sullen face.Larry had already arranged everything. The clerk had been waiting for some time.Seeing the two—no, three—people enter, the clerk's expression turned slightly strange.The clerk had heard the gossip last night about Larry having a mistress. She'd received a call from her supervisor late in the evening asking her to make special time to process this divorce.While she knew Larry had several women on the side, she never expected he would brin

Aria noticed Lucy's stare and merely glanced back briefly. She found it rather ridiculous that Lucy, the woman who had destroyed her marriage and stolen her husband, somehow felt entitled to hate her.She tucked away her divorce certificate and lifted her dress as she walked toward the exit.The reporters swarmed like hyenas catching a scent, thrusting microphones nearly into her face as camera flashes flickered."Miss Jackson, how do you feel about divorcing Mr. Spencer?" a veteran paparazzi asked first, with a hint of caution in his voice."Did Mr. Spencer divorce you because you forced Miss Landon to miscarry? Is that the truth?" Another younger reporter followed up with a sharp, direct question."Miss Jackson, if you couldn't get pregnant yourself, why did you have such deep hostility toward a woman carrying your husband's child? Say something!" A bespectacled reporter pressed aggressively.The reporters fired one pointed question after another, each like a barbed hook strikin

No, she couldn't let Aria gain the upper hand, or she'd have no chance of winning!Lucy suddenly shrank timidly behind Larry, looking at Aria with fear and panic in her eyes."Aria, why must you treat me this way?""That baby was something I'd hoped for so long. I know I did wrong—you can hate me and not forgive me... but you shouldn't have made me lose my baby..."Lucy's voice was choked with sobs.The reporters' expressions changed.Camera flashes continued to blink as the reporters' questions rose again.Aria stood there facing countless questions and doubts, her expression still calm as still water."Miss Jackson, is Miss Landon saying you forced her to miscarry?" one reporter asked loudly, while others joined in, momentarily creating chaos.Lucy hid behind Larry as if afraid Aria might attack her, her eyes filled with fear and anxiety.Aria smiled slightly, her gaze sweeping across everyone before finally settling on Lucy.With a gentle smile, Aria slowly asked, "Were yo
