Chapter 2 Divorce
- Jean adjusted her clothes in the room.
- She looked up at her father's gray photo and remembered Edgar's cruel words.
- "I married you to seek revenge against your disgusting father. Now that he is dead, and you're the only one left, it is your turn to pay for his crimes."
- Jean was physically and mentally exhausted. She kneeled on the floor and could not stop tears from flowing down her cheeks. "Dad, I've failed you…"
- That day, the news of the Eyer family's overnight downfall became the headline of various major newspapers. The following morning, a piece of entertainment news trended on the Internet!
- As Jean was still grieving the loss of her father, a group of people barged into her home in the countryside and moved her furniture out of the house.
- Jean's eyes were still swollen from crying as she went downstairs to find out what was causing the loud noises. Her housekeeper, Brigid Lang, rushed to her and said, "Madam! A group of people suddenly barged in and moved things from the house. I can't stop them!"
- Jean became alert and stopped one of the people. The man was trying to move a large antique porcelain vase from the foyer. "What are you doing? I'll call the police to arrest you for trespassing!"
- "Trespassing? Doesn't this house belong to Mr. Royden? We are acting under his instruction to move everything in the house. I apologize if we've disturbed you."
- Jean was stunned and suddenly remembered something. Although my father purchased this house for me as my marital home, I made Edgar the sole owner of this house as a sign of my trust in him.
- What is Edgar up to now?
- Jean took out her phone to call Edgar and to ask what was going on. However, the phone vibrated, causing her to accidentally press on a notification and open the news.
- Edgar Royden, president of Royden Group, announced through an interview that he would be marrying Ms. Gigi Reece, a rookie actress. It is reported that Mr. Royden has divorced Ms. Jean Eyer.
- Jean gripped her phone tightly. Divorce? Why am I not aware that I have divorced?
- "Madam, what… What should we do?" Brigid panicked as things got out of hand.
- Mr. Royden refuses to show Madam even a little mercy. She is his wife, after all. Why does he have to be so cruel?
- "Call the police! Call the police now!" Jean finally ordered after remaining silent for a while. It is the only way for me to see Edgar!
