Semua Bab I Left, I Remarried… and He Finally Broke: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Rebecca was preparing for the competition when she saw Howard's call coming in. Irritated, she took it."I only lost my job because I was doing what you wanted me to do, Ms. Jett!" Howard grumbled bitterly. "At my age, it's impossible to find a good job. Even if I get one, it won't pay very well. You've basically ruined my career."She got the gist of what he was hinting at. Scoffing, she said, "You want some compensation for me? Didn't I already give you an apartment? I haven't even said anything about the fact that you failed to get the job done, too."Howard wasn't going to let it go so easily. Since he had nothing to lose, he said, "How heartless of you to say that, Ms. Jett. If you refuse to help me, I will have no choice but to tell the paparazzi what I know. When the time comes, you can forget about joining Mr. Shaw's orchestra."Rebecca was furious, but she feared he might expose her, which could ruin her place in Ethan's heart. Taking a deep breath, she said, "I'll give yo

Looking highly amused, Carlisle remarked, "Mr. Ford, since you wish to get back together with Ms. Shore, what makes you think she'll agree to reconcile with you if you make her lose such an important opportunity?""She's just throwing a tantrum with me," Ethan declared matter-of-factly. "It's only a matter of time before we get back together."Carlisle had no respect for Ethan's scumbag antics. It seemed that Ethan was a greedy hypocrite who wanted to have his cake and eat it too. Thus, Carlisle immediately declined the offer. "I apologize, Mr. Ford, but I can't agree to your demand. The orchestra doesn't need any more investors."He nodded at Ethan before walking off.It never occurred to Ethan that Carlisle would turn him down. Although he felt rather pissed, he soon regained his composure. Carlisle wasn't the only one who had a say in the orchestra. Since Carlisle refused him, he would simply find someone else.Ethan called Katie and instructed, "Find out who runs Rhapsody Orch

Seamus meekly lowered his head, too scared to speak. The fate of the Jaffe family rested in Jordan's hands at that moment. They depended on him to get them through their present crisis. No matter how indignant he felt, he dared not refute Jordan.Jordan pulled a check from his sleeve and scribbled an amount on it before tossing it to Seamus. "I'll cover the medical expenses for your head injury on Jazlyn's behalf.""N-No, I couldn't…" Seamus didn't dare take his money.Ignoring him, Jordan took his jacket off and draped it over Jazlyn. Then, he took her hand and began leading her away, but a scowling Ethan stood in his way."Where are you taking Jazlyn?"Sparks flew when Jordan met Ethan's gaze. "What does that have to do with you, Mr. Ford?""I'm her ex-husband! I certainly have a right to know!" Ethan snarled through gritted teeth.Snorting, Jordan retorted, "Oh, so you do know you're just her ex-husband? In the eyes of the law, you two aren't related in any way. Are you sure

Seeing Katie's reaction, Ethan scoffed. "I knew you'd be too dumb to have any ideas. Forget it. You can go out now. I'll think of something myself."After brooding in his office for half the day, Ethan finally came up with a way to kick Jazlyn out of the orchestra. He made a phone call."Hey, Derek. It's me. I've got a job for you."…The orchestra's second performance was scheduled for Saturday.For the past few days, Jazlyn had been practicing day and night with the orchestra. When Carlisle finally let them leave early, she wanted nothing more than to rush home and catch up on some sleep.Jordan messaged her and invited her to dinner. It had been a while since they'd eaten together, so she agreed without hesitation.The moment she walked out of the auditorium, a van pulled up in front of her, and a tall man dragged her inside.Jazlyn tried to scream for help, but a handkerchief soaked in chloroform was pressed over her mouth and nose. Within seconds, she lost consciousness.

"Transfer it to my bank account now," Wyatt said.Once Rebecca made the transfer, Wyatt immediately transferred it again to Jazlyn's account, and she accepted it without comment. Since Rebecca had plotted to ruin her, she had no qualms about making Rebecca pay for it.After making the transfer, Rebecca urged over the call, "Where is the video? Hurry up and take it!"At last, Jazlyn spoke."You've got quite the audacity to try to scheme against me like this, Rebecca. Do you think I'll let you get away with it so easily? I've made a recording of the call. You can look forward to having your reputation ruined!"Rebecca didn't expect to hear Jazlyn's voice. Panicked, she wanted to salvage the situation somehow, but Jazlyn had already dropped the call.Wyatt and the other abductors looked at Jazlyn in fear. "You've got what you wanted, so please let us go now!"When they heard her demanding three million dollars from Rebecca, they realized that she wasn't someone they could afford to
