Bye, My Ex-husband

Chapter 14: Just Sign The Divorce Agreement Obediently



Chapter 14: Just Sign The Divorce Agreement Obediently 

Janessa left the hospital with only the clothes on her back.

She couldn't wait for Gordon to come back, so she had to leave without saying goodbye.

One of these days, she would definitely find a way to pay him back.

The weather outside was mild and sunny, and a gentle wind blew pleasantly.

However, for someone in her weak condition, even the slightest breeze was unbearable.

With gritted teeth, Janessa struggled to pull herself together and went to the cemetery in the suburbs clutching a small bouquet of flowers.

It had only been a few days, but the tombstone was already covered with dust.

Aydin, her uncle, as well as those who called themselves family used to visit her father regularly.

Now, with both of her parents gone and the company in their clutches, they dropped the pretense and couldn't even be bothered to show up.

She gently placed the white carnations she was holding in front of the tombstone, letting it sway with the wind.

At that moment, looking at the photos of the two people on the tombstone, Janessa felt a sense of peace.

Only in front of her parents could she be so calm.

Janessa squatted beside the tombstone and wiped it bit by bit.

It was as if she were wiping someone's face carefully, but thoroughly enough to remove all traces of dirt.

Finally, it was done.

Janessa remained in her crotch on the ground and gently stroked the tombstone.

Her parents could finally be together again.

She only hoped that intrigues that plagued them in this sphere of existence did not exist in that world and that they could finally lead a peaceful life.

The ringtone sounded particularly loud at that moment.

Janessa's brow furrowed as she looked at the name on the screen.

Shouldn't he be with his darling girlfriend at this time? How could he have the time to look for her? She was sure that he was only looking for her so that he could humiliate her further, cow her into backing out of the conflict between them, and make her take the initiative to ask for a divorce.

She really didn't want to quarrel in front of her parents.

Her pale finger pressed the decline button on the screen, but the phone rang again.

"Just say it!"

Without any preliminaries, Janessa answered the phone impatiently.

"Where are you?"

"Rayan, you've never cared about my whereabouts.Why start now? What's wrong with you today? You asked someone to send me the newspaper today, but he didn't see me?"

Every day at this time, he would send the latest financial news of the day to her ward without fail.

If they couldn't find her today, they would definitely report to him.

She should also thank the secretary who sent the newspaper.

If it weren't for her, Rayan wouldn't be compelled to call her for the rest of their lives.

As a couple, she had to use someone else's help to receive her husband's calls.

It was pathetic, really.

"I just want to remind you that if you still want the Qiu Group to become better, you should come home and sign your name on the document."

Ryan spoke in a commanding tone like one would treat a subordinate, as if the only way for Janessa to survive would be to follow his orders.

The breeze caressed the cold smile on her lips.

"Rayan Lu, do you want me to divorce and give up my position to that woman? Impossible.She had a hand in my child's death.I won't let a murderer take my place."

If Gracie didn't hide that she was suffering an ectopic pregnancy, maybe she could be persuaded to give up her position.

However, because of her deceit and selfishness, her child lost the opportunity to come to this world.

"Janessa, you were the one who had my child aborted.Don't drag Gracie into it! She is not as cruel and scheming as you are."

She did nothing but lose her baby, yet in his eyes, she was the most manipulative woman in the world.

On the other hand, Gracie, who literally stewed his son's placenta and brought the soup to Janessa, remained a pure innocent woman in his eyes.

Well, such was the reality of the gap between his lover and his wife.

"Well, let me tell you, Rayan Lu: I won't divorce you.I won't consider divorcing you unless you have managed to save the Qiu Group and hand over the power to my hands again."

Didn't he say that she was a scheming woman who would do anything to stabilize the Qiu Group? Well, she would show him what it meant to do anything to achieve her goal.

After saying that, Janessa turned off her phone and slipped it inside her pocket.

Her eyes sought out her parents’ photos again, and she could have sworn that there was worry in their eyes.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry.I won't let anything happen to the Qiu Group.Don't worry about it.I will take care of it."

Janessa stayed beside the tombstone for a long time and didn't go back until the sun was about to set.

She finally turned on her phone, and a barrage of missed calls and messages flashed on her screen.

Some of them were spam, and the rest were from Gordon.

Gordon was the only one who cared about her in the world.

With a self-deprecating smile on her face, Janessa typed out and sent a message to Gordon.

"I'm fine.Don't send me any messages in the future.I'll take care of myself.Don't reply anymore.As soon as the message was sent out, her phone rang, and Gordon's name flashed on the screen.He called again after Janessa declined the call.

"I'm fine.Don't call me again, or I'll block your number!"

Janessa snarled at the phone, leaving Gordon no chance to speak.

Her words worked.

Her phone finally quieted down.

It had been half an hour since she came down from the cemetery, but not a single car was willing to take her back to the city. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

The Lu family villa was twenty or thirty kilometers away.

It was impossible to walk to the villa, and it was not easy to take a taxi in her location.

She tried to book a taxi through a mobile app while walking to see passing vehicles.

However, luck didn't seem to be on her side.

Many cars passed by, but none of them stopped.

Those who stopped usually drove away as soon as they saw Janessa's face.

There was no trace of blood on Janessa's pale, ghostlike face.

The passing drivers dared not to take her when they saw such a person.

Janessa's body hadn't completely recovered, and besides, she had been exposed to the cold wind on the mountain all afternoon.

She felt a general sense of discomfort, and her body didn't seem to be listening to her.

With neither a knowledge of where she was going nor a clear sense of the danger she was putting herself into, Janessa stepped to the middle of the road.

She just wanted to stop a car.

Perhaps God saw her pitiful condition and felt sorry for her.

Just as she was about to lose all hope, a car's headlights came at her from behind.

The car sped past before Janessa could wave her hand.

"Don't go! Don't go..."

Janessa lurched forward to chase the car, but she fell to the ground.

Unbeknownst to her, the car that passed her by slowly reversed and ultimately stopped beside her.

Then, an old man with salt-and-pepper hair got out of the car.

"Sir, she fainted."

The old man didn't say anything and motioned for the driver to turn her from her prone position.

When he saw her face, the old man's eyes lit up.

‘How could it be her?

"Take her back.Call the family doctor and ask him to go to the villa right now."

The old man arranged everything.

As soon as he saw the face of the person lying face down on the ground, a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

As the driver lifted Janessa and placed her in the car, he noticed blood stains on the insides of her legs.

Without delay, the car continued on its way.
