Reborn Before The Divorce

Nydia was stunned, then shook her head. “No.”

Zane frowned, his eyes showing a hint of frustration. “Do you know why there are so many abusive men?”

“It’s because of women like you who deny being beaten! You protect him, so he won’t hit you anymore?”

Nydia wore a white turtleneck sweater today, which covered all the red marks on her neck. But her state of mind today was not good and Zane mistakenly thought she had been beaten.

“Zane, Jesse really didn’t hit me.” In a sense, Jesse had bitten her, restrained her, and even retaliated against her with drugs, but he had indeed never hit her. On the contrary, Nydia had slapped Jesse a few times.

“Whatever, this is your family affair!” Zane walked away with a cold face.

Nydia didn’t want to explain further. She couldn’t say that he didn’t hit her, it was just that they didn’t control themselves last night, which made it look like she was beaten.

After all, she wasn’t familiar with Zane.

As a result, Zane remained cold-faced and hardly spoke to Nydia for the rest of the time.

But after lunch, he still asked her, “Do you want to go to the hospital?”

Nydia immediately shook her head. “No, no need.”

Zane looked even more disappointed with her answer.

“I thought you were a brave woman when I saw you confront Asher earlier. I was wrong.” He left this sentence and walked away, leaving Nydia in shock.

What was going on?

They were supposed to have dinner together tonight, but Nydia was too tired and didn’t go. She went back to the hotel to rest instead.

After returning to the hotel, she sent a message to Jesse:

“When are you coming back? I’m so tired! I came back without eating.”

After waiting for a while and not receiving a reply, Nydia pursed her lips and didn’t send another message.

Sibley called her.

“Hey, sis.”

“Nydia, the two kids are with me now.”

“Thank you for taking care of them, sis.” Nydia now had a good relationship with Sibley.

“Molly told me that Sherry’s family was in a car accident and hospitalized. They had a dispute with you before. What happened?”

“It’s just that Xavier, that upstart, thought he was so powerful that he wanted Tavish to kneel and apologize. Jesse showed him evidence of his affair, and they had a fight. They probably had an argument while driving and got into an accident.”

Nydia briefly explained the situation.

“I felt that Xavier’s wife was very arrogant when I went to the parent-teacher conference for their two children. I was planning to deal with them at some point, but I got delayed by something unexpected. I didn’t expect Jesse to beat me to it, so now I’ll just do my part.”

“Does that mean…?” Sibley is a very low-key person who doesn’t like to cause trouble, especially under Nydia’s influence.

“Don’t worry, I’m just teaching them a lesson. They bullied my nephew and niece, so of course I can’t be polite about it.”

Sibley loves the two children very much, and because Nydia treated them badly in the past, she dislikes Nydia. Now that someone has dared to bully Molly and Tavish, she, as their aunt, naturally has to step forward.

“By the way, have you seen the news? Barclay is such a scumbag. He’s making a show of himself and even smearing Jesse. He really is shameless!”

“He’s making a show of himself? Let me see the news first.”

Nydia is tired today and hasn’t had a chance to check the news.

After checking Weibo, she saw that Barclay’s news was the top trending topic, with the headline “Barclay kneels down to beg for forgiveness”. The fourth trending topic was “Jesse is a fraud and deserves to die”, which was obviously very unfavorable to Jesse.

Nydia clicked on it and saw a video. In the video, Barclay’s face was covered in wounds as he knelt before the victim’s family, slapping himself in the face.

“I’m sorry! I’m really sorry! I was too anxious at the time and didn’t expect the disaster to be so serious. It’s my fault that your family was harmed. Hit me if you want!”

The woman clenched her fists, her face full of anger and sadness, but she didn’t hit Barclay.

However, Barclay grabbed her hand and hit himself with it, and she struggled to push him away.

“Don’t do this, my husband is already dead. Beating you won’t bring him back!”

“I will do my best to compensate you. I will pay for the two children’s upbringing until they graduate from college!”

The woman covered her face and didn’t speak, looking very pained.

“If you have any requests, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will do it!”

After a moment of thought, the woman sobbed and said, “Please treat the workers better in the future. We are also human beings. We are poor and uneducated, but we are still people!”

“I will, I promise!”

Barclay was helped up, and his knees were covered in dirt. Instead of brushing it off, he took out a stack of money and handed it to the woman. “Take this hundred thousand yuan first, and I’ll transfer the rest to your account later.”

The woman took the money, her hand trembling, and cried even harder.

Nydia initially thought there would be another family member of the victims, but there wasn’t. When she clicked on another video, it showed Barclay visiting severely affected areas.

It was rainy and windy in the video, which made it seem like he was sincerely apologizing.

However, Nydia knew it was definitely a show.

Based on her understanding of Barclay, he couldn’t possibly be sincere.

When she saw the second video, she was instantly infuriated and finally understood what Sibley meant by “pulling down Jesse.”

Although the situation in the city had improved, there were still disasters in neighboring cities, and they were not light. Barclay went to visit and saw a woman with a child shivering.

“Why are you dressed so thinly on such a cold day?” Barclay asked.

“We have no clothes,” the woman replied.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

“Didn’t someone donate materials? There are cotton-padded jackets and such, haven’t you received them?”

“No, we haven’t received anything. My child is almost freezing to death, and no one is helping us. The situation here is severe, and no one has any clothes to wear.” She hugged her child, whose face had turned pale from the cold.

Barclay immediately took off his own down jacket and handed it to her. “Put on my clothes first.”

The woman hesitated for a moment.

“Hurry up and put it on. The child can’t be so cold!”

The woman immediately put on the down jacket and felt warm instantly. She wrapped her child in her arms and thanked Barclay repeatedly.

Barclay brought several people with him and asked them to take off their coats and give them to these people.

“I’ll go get a batch of cotton-padded jackets right away.”

The locals were all thanking Barclay.

Barclay’s face turned white from the cold in his thin clothes, but he still smiled and comforted the victims, handing out things he had brought with him, including instant noodles, ham sausage, water, bread, and biscuits.

The comments from netizens below were, “It’s okay to admit mistakes. After all, his goods were flooded, and he was anxious. He didn’t expect the rain to be so severe, so we can’t blame him.”

“Didn’t Jesse donate supplies? Where are they? Without even cotton-padded jackets, won’t people freeze to death? Jesse donated 20 million, gained fame and fortune, but the supplies never reached the victims?” Nydia grew angrier as she watched.

Barclay must be pushing things behind the scenes to pull Jesse down and highlight himself.

By doing this, he could wash away his own misdeeds.

She messaged Vergil, “What is your boss doing? When will he be back?”

Vergil glanced at Jesse and replied, “Boss has been hooked by a beautiful woman.”
