Chapter 5 The Ultimatum to Divorce Jeremy Immediately

  • The door swung open, and before Jeremy stood a strikingly pretty face.
  • Megan glanced up and found herself caught in the man's deep gaze, momentarily losing her footing.
  • "Sir ... who are you looking for?" Megan's tough demeanour from before melted away, replaced by a flirtatious and soft tone.
  • Jeremy pulled a pendant out of his pocket and held it up to her.
  • "Is this pendant yours?" His voice, much like his looks, oozed charm!
  • Megan gave him a sceptical look, glanced down, and shyly said, "Yeah, that's my pendant. But how did it end up with you?"
  • Jeremy recalled that night vividly and smirked. "Did you ever give it to someone else?"
  • Frowning a bit, Megan remembered that the chain of the pendant had broken recently, so she had asked Sierra to take it for repairs. Could it be …
  • Shaking her head vigorously at the thought, she asserted, "It belonged to my late mom. I've always kept it with me."
  • Jeremy's usually icy eyes softened a bit.
  • "So ... you're the girl who barged into my house that night?"
  • As a big-shot CEO, he usually tackled any challenge head-on in the business world, but this seemed to be a bit of a tough topic for him.
  • Megan couldn't help but gaze at him, feeling a rush of excitement as she noticed his slightly flushed cheeks.
  • This guy isn't just good-looking, he's also getting shy in front of me.
  • She decided then and there that she was smitten with him!
  • But wait, he mentioned a girl breaking into his house? Could it be that annoying brat Sierra?
  • Megan was all over the place.
  • Rupert's voice suddenly chimed in, "Jeremy, my son-in-law, what brings you here all of a sudden?"
  • Rupert returned from outside, spotting his son-in-law's fancy Maybach parked right at their doorstep, which was quite unexpected.
  • Seeing him holding flowers and his assistant lugging a bunch of gifts made him even more surprised. He marvelled at Sierra's skills. She managed to win over Jeremy in just a few days, something no other woman could pull off!
  • But Sierra wasn't living here anymore, so why did he bring all this to the Gusmans' residence?
  • As soon as Rupert finished speaking, Megan inside the door was shocked, her mouth hanging open.
  • He-He is Jeremy! The man with the heart condition who wouldn't live past thirty?
  • Her face turned pale, unable to bear such a blow, and she staggered to one side.
  • Jeremy reached out, his long arms pulling her up and steadying her.
  • "Are you okay? Why do you look so pale?" Concern filled his eyes.
  • Was it because of what happened that night? Did it scare her?
  • The bloodstains she left on the sofa that night told him she was still a virgin, but he had treated her so roughly and rudely.
  • Thinking about his behaviour that night, Jeremy felt even more guilty in his heart.
  • Meanwhile, Megan was already indulging herself in his embrace, intoxicated by the moment. His scent is pleasant, and his chest is broad and sturdy. How can such a robust man be impotent?
  • Her anger surged. How could I have pushed such a charming man towards Sierra?
  • No, I have to win Jeremy back.
  • As Megan's thoughts raced, Jeremy decided to immediately confront Megan's father.
  • Ten minutes later, in the study, Rupert was full of shock.
  • He slumped into his chair, trying hard to make sense of the situation.
  • Recalling the day when Sierra returned, covered in those marks.
  • Jeremy lived in Summitville, and Franklin also lived in Summitville. Could it be that Sierra mistakenly entered the wrong villa and ended up encountering Jeremy like that …
  • Seeing Rupert unable to speak for a long time, Jeremy bowed to him. "I'm the one who made Megan suffer, but don't worry, I will take full responsibility for her."
  • Rupert suppressed his tangled thoughts. "Jeremy, but you've already married Sierra."
  • Sierra marrying over was one thing, he didn't want to sacrifice his precious daughter, Megan.
  • No matter how outstanding Jeremy was, he still had a short-lived illness.
  • "Dad! In this lifetime, I won't marry anyone but him!" Megan rushed in, interrupting their conversation.
  • Anger flashed in Rupert's eyes. "Meg, don't meddle in this matter."
  • Megan said, "What do you mean by meddling? My first time ... has already been given to Jeremy. I'm already his woman!"
  • Rupert widened his eyes, knowing that his daughter was lying.
  • Megan dared not meet her father's gaze directly, deliberately lowered her head, and pretended to wipe away tears, with a pitiful look.
  • Just now outside the door, she overheard everything.
  • As long as she insisted that she was that girl, coupled with the evidence of the pendant, she could deceive everyone!
  • Megan approached Jeremy who was looking at her. "When you said you'd take responsibility, did you mean it? Will you divorce Sierra and marry me?"
  • Jeremy was touched. The happiest thing in life was when you wanted to marry her, and she was willing to marry you.
  • He gently ran his fingers through her hair, indulgently saying, "Of course. I always do what I say!"
  • Meanwhile, Sierra was working at the hospital.
  • Her phone kept vibrating in her pocket.
  • After finishing her work, Sierra finally answered Megan's relentless calls.
  • "What's up?" she asked, sounding icy and collected.
  • Megan's voice sounded urgent on the other end, almost like a roar, "Sierra, I command you to divorce Jeremy right away!"
