Chapter 152 All The Media Are Evil
"I know you won't believe me no matter what I say now. But I can assure you that there is nothing between me and Emily."
Though fully aware of his own weak points, Jonas didn't want to give up so easily. He had to make a guarantee.
How many times had he said that? Jonas could not help but ask himself in reply.
"Jonas, I'm not stupid. I think it's better to get a divorce as soon as possible. It's not good for both of us if we keep on pestering each other like this." Melinda almost laughed out of anger. She had already seen the evidence, how could Jonas say something like that?
It was unknown if she was sad for herself or Emily. The scheming woman tried everything to make a connection with Jonas, but it was denied by Jonas totally.
"Melinda, give me a chance. I can prove it to you." Arrogant as Jonas was, he said that to try to keep he. Except that, he didn't know what he should do and what was right.
"Divorce. If you don't agree, I will see you in court." Seeing that Jonas still didn't say yes, Melinda didn't know what he wanted to do either.
"If these stuff displays in the court, it will not be appropriate for anyone. Can't we just divorce peacefully?"
The identity of Emily, if this evidence was presented in the court, the image she had created for so many years would collapse completely.
And the image that Jonas had established in front of the investors would also disappear. At that time, his position in the company must be no better than others.
However, Melinda didn't care about that. At the worst, she could get some sympathy or mockery.
"I won't agree," said Jonas. He was afraid that Melinda would continue to cling to this issue, so he didn't dare to stay in the bedroom for one more second.
His mind was in a turmoil.
Melinda didn't expect that Jonas would choose to escape, as if she had become a flood beast. This ending was both funny and annoying, but Melinda felt that it was a guilty conscience for Jonas, who was not willing to face the truth.
But the more he didn't want to face it, the more she had to put all these in front of him and let him make decisions.
Looking at the man who had disappeared in the corridor, Melinda went back to the computer table, pulled out the dark USB drive, and then found the previous divorce agreement.
There was no printing tools in Melinda's bedroom and the thing was completely copied. She still went to the study to print. She thought she would meet Jonas there, but she didn't see him.
At this time, Jonas had already gone to the gym to vent his anger.
With the lesson from last time, Melinda specially printed a few more copies, each with her own name signed on them as usual.
In fact, if she wanted, she could easily find out Jonas' seal and put it on them.
There were more than ten divorce agreements neatly placed on the table. It was a little familiar.
When Jonas returned to the study, he saw this familiar scene. The blue veins on his forehead began to rage again, and then like last time, he threw a dozen pieces into the paper container. Then he fled away like last time.
Melinda got Jonas's name out of the blacklist. She called three times, and it was picked up by William.
"Mrs. Melinda. Mr. Jonas is in a meeting."
William spoke this more skillfully than "how are you". His tone and attitude were calm.
"Then ask him to call me back after the meeting," Melinda said as she raised her eyebrows. Hearing that, William was immediately in a cold sweat. It was really that mortals got hurt when there was a fight between gods.
William looked at Jonas with a sullen face, which irritated Jonas.
"Boss is busy today,"
William continued to lie, feeling that his conscience began to hurt. How could boss's sad figure, who was smoking in front of the French window, look so childish? "Then I'll go find him,"
Melinda said loudly. She knew that William was likely to be used by someone, and Jonas might be sitting next to him. So she deliberately spoke loudly.
William turned on the loud speaker. Sure enough, even Jonas was in front of the French window, he heard her voice.
"Tell her, if she want a divorce, just find my lawyer," Jonas said in a cold voice. It never occurred to him that Melinda could be so aggressive.
"Our CEO asked you to see Lawyer Xu," William said in a hurry. He really couldn't hold on any longer. It would be handled by that Lawyer Xu.
After receiving such a reply, Melinda let go of William. Soon she contacted Lawyer Xu. As the most rigorous lawyer in the industry, Lawyer Xu answered every question of Melinda honestly.
But as long as this topic was brought up in divorce, he began to change the topic. In the last round, the lawyer only helped to distribute the property, and the specific matters still needed to be discussed by the two parties.
So after another round, the question was again about Jonas.
However, after reading the divorce agreement, Lawyer Xu put forward a lot of opinions. In a word, all kinds of opinions made Melinda feel dizzy.
The matter of divorce was forced to delay by Jonas. As a result, Melinda became more and more disappointed to Jonas.
A branch of Left Bank Cafe was next to the periodical office of Kent. Melinda had made an appointment with Kent today to vent her frustration.
"I think you are a little impulsive this time."
Seeing that Melinda was so focused on the divorce, while thinking of the love of Jonas to her, Kent soon felt that she was a little impulsive to do so.
However, Melinda was very confused, feeling that it was a result of her own deep thought, and she was not impulsive at all.
"Kent, it took me a long time to make this decision!" Melinda expressed her attitude. She was absolutely not indifferent to love, but she really didn't know what to do this time. "Melinda, I have met with Jonas before. Maybe he is born to be hesitant about love, but it doesn't mean that he is heartless. Besides, I can see that he has feelings for you." Kent recalled the happenings in the farmhouse last time and the fear when he came back to A City. He still believed that Jonas loved Melinda.
So, at this moment, he couldn't help persuading or trying to retain Melinda to stay, just for the sake of Jonas.
Melinda looked at him surprisedly. Then with a bitter smile, she said in a somewhat desolate tone, "Feelings? It's probably unwillingness of losing something." "Relationship is complicated. Melinda, you should believe that you are worthy of Jonas's love. Don't doubt each other,"
Kent said in a stern tone like an old man, but he talked like a philosopher.
Suspicion was a taboo to any relationship.
After being provoked by Emily again and again, the relationship between Melinda and Jonas was almost broken. As a result, their trust in each other was almost zero.
"It's not complicated. He likes Emily, from the beginning to the end," Melinda said with a smile. She felt she had been too stupid to know such a simple thing.
Still, Kent felt that Melinda had misunderstood something. When he was about to say something to make up, Melinda took a pile of photos out of her bag and slowly told him she went to the hotel that day. "Kent, do you still think he has feelings for me?"
Melinda said in a self-deprecating tone. Kent's eyes were burning with rage when he looked at those pictures. Thinking that he had just spoken for Jonas, he was so furious that he wanted to beat himself to death.
"Is it true?"
Kent looked at the four photos. He remembered one of them was at the farmhouse. But the four hadn't met each other yet.
Jonas helped Emily to straighten her hat, hold her in his arms and help her up. All he did was a scorn to Melinda.
The man named Jonas had an affair with another woman, and he had told him that he liked Melinda.
As for the woman whom Jonas had an affair with, no one would be surprised at that. Even long ago, many people believed that they made a perfect match.
As the legal wife of Jonas, Melinda was forgotten by everyone.
"I saw it with my own eyes. Can it be false?" Melinda said. She played with the cakes on her plate boringly.
Delicate and delicious little cake, at this time, she had no appetite at all.
"Just now, I'm sorry." Kent thought of his attitude to Jonas just now and felt sorry for Melinda. If it were another person, she would have confronted him.
"Nothing. I just don't know what to do now." Melinda didn't care about such things at all, so hearing Kent spoke for him, she only felt that Jonas knew well how to get people's trust.
"I have a question to ask you. You have to answer me honestly." Kent became serious suddenly. After making sure that Jonas had an affair with other woman, he would help Melinda anyway. "What?" Melinda asked, looking at Kent waiting for his answer.
"Are you really disillusioned with him? Can you really let go of your love for so many years?"
Kent asked. That was why he was so serious. He was worried very much that the love of Melinda to Jonas hadn't completely dissipated.
She wanted to leave just because she was disappointed.
"Yes." After being silent for a while, Melinda nodded affirmatively. As for the strange feeling in her heart, she chose to ignore it.
"Well, if this is the case, you can tell the media, and put pressure on Jonas."
Kent had worked in the periodical office for a long time, so he was familiar with this kind of thing. Hearing this, Melinda's eyes lit up. Yes, by relying on the media, why didn't she think of it before? Melinda shouldn't make a reckless comment on the media. But at this point, she needed the power of the media.
"I know what to do. Thank you, Kent,"
Melinda said excitedly, but Kent was still worried about her, so he reminded her, "It's good, unless you regret it."
"I won't regret and I won't give myself any chance to regret,"
Melinda murmured.
