Xander did not reply and instructed the driver to depart when they crossed paths with another cheap car...Xander's sight stayed on the car for a few seconds, finding it somewhat familiar, and saw Abigail pushing her huge luggage toward the car.The man took Abigail's luggage as soon as he alighted from the driver's seat. The driver had already accelerated even before Xander could have a clear view of the person.Xander frustratedly pulled on his collar and called a number. "How are the preparations coming along?"An aloof voice came from the other end of the line. "Xander, why did you appoint me when the Zane Corporation has so many outstanding lawyers? Are the rumors true that you've been cuckolded by your wife?"Needless to ask, Xander knew who was behind the rumors. "Yes, and their reach even extended to grandmother. How many know about this?""The Big Four Families are already in the know." The man clicked his tongue a few times before he continued, "Max's sister had such a
'This woman is quite humorous,' thought Shawn before he replied, "No worries. Please take your time."Shawn stared at her as Abigail read through the divorce papers. This woman is exceptionally beautiful, with a round face, a pointy chin, pale skin, and glossy lips. Every part of her meets the criteria of being beautiful. Shawn sighed in his heart. 'Xander is really immature emotionally. He married such a fine woman, yet he was willing to leave her and further his studies overseas. If I had a wife as beautiful as her, I'd give her everything and keep her by my side, never giving a chance for another man in her heart. What a pity for Xander to leave her alone and let another man snatch her heart away.'The other party took her time to slowly read through the papers as there was no one to rush them. Shawn was in no hurry as well, taking his time to appreciate her elegant face.Abigail opened the divorce agreement that had a lot of details written down on the A4 papers. The paper menti
Xander replied, "Who is she to decide if she wants to sign the divorce or not?"Shawn replied, "It's not that she doesn't want to sign it. She doesn't want to pay for the one hundred thousand dollars emotional distress claim."Xander had many ways to make her sign the papers, but it was still a girl introduced by his grandmother after all. The only thing on his mind right now was to break any possible relationship with that traitorous woman. He said, "She doesn't have to pay that then."As soon as Xander gave the word, Shawn got someone to reprint a new set of papers and passed it to Abigail with a more amicable attitude. "Ms. Renee, please look over this again."Abigail earnestly went through the papers again, took up her pen, signed her name on the papers, and asked, "Alright. Is there anything else you need me to do?"Shawn was bewildered as he saw her sign the papers. "Do you know what your husband's profession is?"Abigail replied, "What does his profession have to do with m
Xander adjusted the silver-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, lit a cigarette and said, "You can scram now.""What kind of person chases a brother away without even giving them a drink after helping them out?" Shawn then sat on a sofa and said, "I'm not leaving today without that drink."Xander said, "Please pour a drink for Mr. Cooper, Susanna.""Does Mr. Cooper really need a drink? He doesn't look parched at all," replied Susanna in an unfriendly tone.Shawn retorted, "Are you trying to bully me as well, Susanna?"Susanna Whitlock was over fifty and had been with Xander since he was young. Xander and his friends never once saw her as a maid but more of an elder of the family that will occasionally nag at them. Susanna passed over his drink as she replied, "Why are you messing around together with our young master? What do you mean by being already half-divorced? You'd better be careful or Old Madam might just punish you."When Susanna heard Xander was getting married one
'I'm just her superior. So why would I rush over to the hospital when she only encountered a minor traffic accident and her husband is warmly by her side?' thought Xander. Immediately after, he called Malcolm. "How about a drink?"Malcolm replied, "I'll be there."Malcolm immediately knew Xander was feeling quite down the moment he saw him.After a few rounds, he asked, "Xander, why are you making your life so difficult over just an adulterous wife? You don't even have feelings for her."Xander snorted. "Is that woman even worth being sad over?"Malcolm asked, "Then why do you look so down?"Xander retorted, "Do I look down?"'You just need to write "I'm very sad" on your face to complete the look and yet you're still acting tough,' thought Malcolm inwardly though it was indeed quite shameful for a man to be cuckolded. Not wanting to hurt Xander's feelings any longer, he changed the topic. "It's been almost a month since you went to the West together with your junior personal as
Abigail finally convinced Felix and Melody to allow her not to spend the night at the hospital after eloquently talking to them about it. Melody was still nagging after they got into the car to go home. "Stinky Caterpie, you don't have any external wounds. But what if you have internal injuries? I went to buy daily necessities for you. And yet, you still didn't want to stay overnight in the hospital."Abigail pinched her face. "I'm fine. Why should I stay in the hospital? My bed at home is more comfortable than the bed in the hospital. I've been away from home for one and a half months. I didn't sleep well most nights. I miss my bed so much."Felix held the steering wheel tightly. He had a lingering fear as he said, "You were lucky tonight. It was so close. We almost might not be able to see you for the rest of our lives."After they had their grilled food earlier that night, Felix went to the car park to bring the car over while Melody went to the washroom. When Abigail was waiting
"Why did you come?" A hint of happiness flashed past his eyes when he saw Abigail. But it was doused when Abigail said, "It's my job."He coldly smiled. "You may go back. I'll ask my driver to pick me up."If it was back then, Abigail would have just listened to him and left. But today Xander was no longer the out-of-touch CEO of Zane Corporation in her eyes. He was merely an ordinary human who got hurt in love. She could not bear to just abandon him.Moreover, she heard Malcolm who was beside her say, "Xander, you're drunk. Just keep quiet and allow Ms. Renee to take you home."Abigail took the initiative to grab the car key. "Mr. Zane, let's go."While Abigail was driving, Xander who was sitting in the backseat squinted to look at the side of her face. She was very serious while she drove. She did not speak a word to him..."Ha..." he sneered.'Didn't cross her mind at all! Good one!'It's her job! Good one!'More than half an hour later, they arrived at the Monsoon Villa.
Abigail was frightened when she heard Xander say that. She instinctively took a step back to quickly distance herself from him.When he saw that she was clearly avoiding him, his eyes under the silver-rimmed glasses darkened. "You can't get a taxi at this villa area at night. There are guest rooms on the second floor. You can pick any room you like and stay for the night."Abigail was speechless.'So, this was what he meant. I had the wrong idea.'Xander stood up and grabbed a first aid kit. He took out a green medical cream from it. "Apply this on your wound after you shower.""Thank you, Mr. Zane!" Abigail unashamedly took the cream. But she felt that she did not need to stay there overnight.Although they would stay on different floors, she felt it was not right that they were alone. "I'm afraid that I'll disturb your rest. So, I shouldn't spend the night here."Xander said, "I'll sleep on the third floor. And you'll sleep on the second floor. How can you disturb me? Are your
