Ex-Husband Got Crazy When I Disappear

Chapter 53 Seeing Jamies furious expression , I could tell he was ready to tear me apart .

Stanley immediately stood up to stop him .

Jamie , calm down ! How can I calm down ! I trusted her as a friend , and she betrayed me ! You two are siblings , right ? You planned this , didnt you ? Used me to scam money ?! Jamie seemed completely out of control , his eyes bloodshot with rage .

It was obvious who spilled the beans .

I frowned and got up , trying to make my words as clear as possible .

I didnt betray you .

It was Xander who gave it to me without asking .

I didnt intend to keep it Jamie froze for a moment , his movements becoming stiff .

You didnt keep it Hayden took it , I replied .

You still dont know what kind of person Yvonne ist if she really were that kind of person , why would she go through all this trouble to help you ? Stanley pulled Jamie aside and handed him a glass of water , Just take a breath .

After Jamie took a sip , he seemeil to calm down a bit and looked at me .

So what really happened ? I sighed and recounted everything that had gone down last night .

Jamies expression grew even more uncomfortable , and he awkwardly said , Yonne , Im sorry , I misunderstood you .

If I were in your shoes , I probably wouldnt have been able to hold back either .

I shook my head , not really bothered by the earlier drama .

Stanley patted Jamie on the shoulder and advised , Young man , dont act so impulsively .

Jamies face tightened , a bit embarrassed .

Noticing the atmosphere was off , I shified back to serious matters .

Has anyone from the Parker family reached out to your Jamie shook his head , looking down , exhausted .

Stanley and I exchanged a glance and , without needing to say it , fell into silence for a few seconds .

Just then , Ritas call came in .

Since Jamie and Stanley werent strangers .

I picked up right away .

Mrs.

Parker ? You need to come back quickly .

Your family is here … Rita sounded a bit frantic , with an edge of confusion .

My family ! At first , I didnt process it .

My mother had passed away , and my father didnt care about my life , so who could possibly be visiting ? Yeah .

Its Mrs.

Jiang and your sister .

Rita wasnt sure either , repeating what the mother and daughter had said .

Hearing that , my heart raced uncontrollably ! What were Sophis and Joanna doing at Rosy House ? Didnt Joanna cling to Hayden on her days off ? Ill be right back , I said quickly before hanging up and getting ready to leave Stanley noticed something was off and furrowed his brow .

Do you need help ? No , its Sophia .

I have to head back first I spoke quickly , glancing at Jamie .

Jamie , if theres anything , talk to my brother first , and Ill catch you later Okay , sure .

You handle your stud Jamie looked a bit confused , not quite sure what was going on but definitely worried .

I didnt have time to explain .

I turned and ran toward the door ! Sophia and Joanna had just shown up at Rosy House , and it wasnt going to be good .

Jamie stared for a long moment before asking .

Yvonnes okay , right ? Every family has its struggles , Stanley sighed , straightening up and saying seriously .

About your case , the evidence chain suggests a strong chance of winning , but realistically , you probably wont be successful .

You might end up paying a huge price for it Jamies expression stiffened , and after a long pause , he asked , What are you trying to say ? Stanley didnt answer directly , Ipstead , he leaned back in his chair and scrutinized Jamie .

I heard Yvonne say youre about to hold an art exhibition ? Exclusive Pale 2/2 Yes Jamie nodded .

If you want the exhibition to go well , my advice is to drop the suit .

Stanley got straight to the point .

Jamie clenched his jaw rightly , anger flashing in his eyes .

Isnt there a single chance ! Do rich people just get to do whatever they want ? Thats how the world works , unfortunately .

But you could rethink this .

Why not use this opportunity to elevate your career ? Stanley suggested with a smirk .

What do you meant Jamie asked , clearly not fully grasping Stanleys suggestion .

Stanley continued to smile , his well defined hand tapping rhythmically on the table .

We both know that if this blows up , at most , itll only make Nevin lose a bit of face , and the Parker family can throw some money at it to make it go What you might lose … could be your life .

He stated each word with chilling clarity .

Jamies breath caught , his hands tightening into fists .

I just cant accept that ! Accept Nevins apology , drop the suit , and let your exhibition gain more exposure .

Its a chance that many people dream of Stanley He leaned forward a little more , looking deeper into Jamies eyes .

Even if youre not doing it for yourself , consider Cici .

I heard shes coming back soon .

And Yvonnes been worrying about you .

After hearing this , Jamies mental defenses crumbled completely .

The Parker family loomed over him like a giant mountain how could he possibly fight back alone ! Is there really no other way ? Jamie asked , testing the waters .

There is .

Revenge is a dish best served cold .

Wait until you have enough strength to confront the Parker family , then seek fairness , Stanley replied coldly , but it was the truth .

Jamie fell silent .

Hed known for six months that he wouldnt win .

Seeing his quietness , Stanley added , Think it over carefully .

If you decide to sue , Yvonne and I will bark you up .

Sometimes the best plan wasnt the most humane .

It all depended on what choice jamie would make .

As I hurried back to Rosy House , I spotted Sophia and Joanna lounging on the sofa in the living room , stuffing their mouths with fruit .

These werent your everyday fruits ; they were pricey types you could only dream about .

Deborah had specially sent someone to get them .

Sophia and Joanna chatted as they munched .

This fruit is insanely sweet ! Ive never seen an apple with red flesh before ! Oh , and look at this pink pineapple ! We should pack some for your brother I told him to come along , but he wouldnt budge .

He insisted on chasing after Dylan Mom , I cant believe Yvonne lives in such an amazing place .

Its like a palace ! And the food is so extravagant totally different from what we have ! Joanna replied , her tone dripping with envy .

The Parker family is top tier ! Dont worry , as long as you can marry Hayden , all this luxury will be yours ! Sophia laughed heartily , as if she could already see her daughter stepping into a life of riches .

But didnt the Parker family also give Yvonne a cruise ship ? That mustve cost a fortinet Joannas features twisted with envy at the thought .

Hearing this , I realized they were here because of the ship
