A Billionaire After Divorce UGLY
Edith knows the reason behind Layla's question but she still chooses to feign ignorance as she retorts, "Layla, I'm your aunt. You know me so well, when have I ever put up an act? Besides, throughout your life, I've done nothing but take care of you. How can you ask me such a hurtful question? How could I ever think of dragging you down?" She puts on an aggrieved expression, seemingly on the verge of tears.Looking at her aunt and observing her ridiculous performance, Layla can't help but snort, even chuckling wryly. Her aunt is such an amazing actress. With her acting skills, she is sure she could easily win an Oscar.It's just a pity her talents are going to waste as she might never really use them. After all, she is going to die sooner or later.She shakes her head, responding with a dismissive eye roll. "Aunt, you don't have to keep up these pretentious acts. As you said, I know you too well so you should know it would be so dumb of me to fall for those silly tricks of yours. "Y
A Billionaire After Divorce SUPERGIRL AUNT
"Hahaha," Edith, instead of exploding in anger, suddenly bursts into laughter, taking Natasha and the rest by surprise. "Layla, I know you're upset with me for drawing a clear line between us earlier, but this isn't the way to get back at me," she laughs harder whilst making her way to Layla. "All your life, you've sung praises of how beautiful I am. How can I suddenly be ugly today? Hahaha, even though you are already of age, you still don't know how to get back at someone," she drops a hand relaxedly on Layla's shoulder, patting her softly on the back while still laughing.Layla frowns. She had called her aunt ugly mainly because she expected the insult to sting, not to be brushed off so easily. "Ah!" She smacks her tongue in annoyance, shoving Edith's hand off her shoulder and retorting coolly, "You know best whether I was trying to get back at you or stating a fact. Anyway, what does it matter? You're dying soon, so whether you're beautiful or ugly, no one will care once you're
A Billionaire After Divorce TAKING HIM FOR A JOKE
"And besides, the kind sir is the one who sealed your fate," without giving her aunt a chance to respond, Layla ruthlessly continues. "Are you sure you can leave with me even if you wanted?" She grins.Edith was initially angry that Layla dared be rude to her and was about to lash out at her but on hearing Layla's question, all her anger directed at her quickly fades away and is redirected at Jordan, who has been silently observing. As her gaze drops to him, her expression darkens drastically, her fists clenching and unclenching. If not for Jordan, things wouldn't have gotten to this. She wouldn't have fallen out with her niece, to the point of her being rude to her and she wouldn't have a reason to jeer at her. 'Jordan, you caused all this!' She hisses inwardly. But outwardly, she doesn't say anything, merely glaring at him."Madam Edith, you keep staring at me. Is there something on my face?" Jordan feigns innocence, rubbing his hands over his face, adding a touch of mockery to hi
A Billionaire After Divorce CAR CRASH
BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!At Jordan's wave, four loud blasts echo through the air, accompanied by a horrifying screeching sound. The car, seemingly out of control, drifts from the main road to the field at the side. It somersaults, crashing loudly into a fancy tree and the car's windshield instantly dents, visible lines forming on the field where the car had plowed. Smoke billows, threatening to engulf the crashed vehicle."What?!" Natasha and the taxi driver gasp in shock, their jaws literally dropping to the floor. Layla's car had been smoothly driving away, and then suddenly, the four tires exploded, leading to the catastrophic crash."But how can four tires explode at once? Isn't that too much of a coincidence?" Natasha subconsciously glances at Jordan, her breath caught in her throat. "Did you do this?" She asks, her eyes narrowing with suspicion."Yes," Jordan doesn't bother to deny it as he nonchalantly shrugs. "I told Edith it's either she pays the $100,000, or she can only wa
A Billionaire After Divorce REQUESTING AN AMBULANCE
Jordan possesses more than enough strength to carry Layla and Edith on his shoulders but unwilling to soil his shirt with their bodies, he decides against that. With a disdainful hiss, he holds them firmly by their legs and drags them all the way back to where Natasha and the taxi driver are standing. He doesn't even care that the rough handling had lifted their gowns to their waist levels, exposing their underwear. He also pays no attention to the dirt accumulating on their seemingly newly styled hair and upper parts with every step he takes.Since they want to be treated like dogs, Edith in particular, he would treat them as dogs. Soon, he arrives in front of Natasha and the taxi driver and nonchalantly tosses Layla and Edith's legs down to the ground.He then turns and stares down at Layla. Though asleep, she appears to be in so much distress and is losing a lot of blood. If she doesn't receive immediate medical attention, she might die in a few minutes.Though he doesn't like her
A Billionaire After Divorce BEARING THE COST!
It's as if the air plunges by several degrees at Jordan's cold gaze as everywhere suddenly turns chilly. Natasha and the taxi driver can't help but instinctively take protective steps backward, wrapping their arms around themselves. The aura around Jordan sends a shiver down their spines.Natasha, in particular, feels an overwhelming sense of dread for the very first time as she gazes at Jordan. She can't believe this is the once useless live-in son-in-law of the Cadens. In fact, she can't even understand who labeled him as such in the first place. How can this man who is fearless against the Cadens and is so skilled be useless? Except the Cadens are blind, she doesn't really understand how they would think such.Blare... Blare...Amidst Natasha's thoughts, the sudden sound of a siren pierces the air, drawing her attention. She raises her gaze to the approaching ambulance, wondering if Jordan had called for it. The ambulance continues to draw nearer until it neatly pulls over on the

Yesterday, Avery received a call from Edith Caden that she and her niece would be paying them a visit. For several years, the Cadens of Opulence Heights have not associated with they of East Veridora.Avery was shocked to have received this call and was about to ask the reason for the sudden visit but Edith didn't give her the opportunity and hung up. She had used a public line so Avery couldn't call back.Nevertheless, Avery didn't take such information lightly as she immediately began the necessary preparations. At this moment, the Cadens Mansion appears to have undergone a drastic transformation. Fresh coats of paint adorn the walls and the entire structure has been thoroughly cleaned. The dining table, spanning three meters, is laden with assorted meals and wines. And around it are maids standing on several spots, almost like soldiers at a checkpoint. In the living room, Avery sits on a couch with her hands in between her thighs, her gaze fixed on the door. Beside her sits Isab

"What happened, Isabella? Why did you suddenly drop the telephone?" Avery sprints to her feet and darts over to Isabella with the speed of light. She grabs her hand, shaking her as she continues to bombard her with her incessant questions, "Wasn't it Madam Edith? Who was the person on the phone just now? What did he or she say?"Gerald doesn't stand idly as he also hurries over to Isabella, asking anxiously, "Sis, why do you look like you've seen a ghost? Tell us, what happened?

Lay...," she stutters, breaking out in a cold sweat.Avery's heart skips a beat, and Gerald frowns. Isabella is not one to lose her composure so easily. What could have gotten her this way?
