DIVORCED : Rejected Billionaire Heir Chap 123 :
"Don't be presumptuous, Joe. Your words might provoke speculation from those who hear them," Quina fended off. "Who would dare to speculate in this mansion, Aunty? As you've said before, if someone dares to make a mistake in this mansion, then they won't be able to defend themselves because they'll be kicked out of here first, right?" said Joe with a cynical smile on his lips. Quina gave Joe a sharp look. She wanted to throw a slap at her nephew's face, but she had to refrain from making trouble at times like this so that her position wouldn't be jeopardized. "How dare you reverse the words I've said to you, Joe. Have you lost respect for me after getting to know that bitch?" Quina retorted fiercely. "Bitch?!" Joe's teeth chattered as he held back his emotions. "Watch your language, Aunty! Jesslyn is not a bitch! She's a good girl who comes from a good family."Quina snorted, then chuckled as if mocking Joe who insisted on maintaining Jesslyn's image in her eyes, even though she d

"Aunty?" Joe stared intently right at Quina who was standing sipping her juice with a relaxed expression, it was obvious that she was not bothered at all by her nephew's glare. "What?" replied Quina while raising one eyebrow. She really wasn't scared at all by the warning given by Joe earlier. "Why are you looking at me like that, Joe? Isn't what I'm saying the truth? You're deliberately preparing trivial things like this to attract Dad's attention." Seeing Joe who was getting cornered and only able to glare at her, Quina became more and more. She approached Kevin who hadn't reacted since earlier, then stood beside the man as she said, "Do you consider this forgiveness from my father to be equivalent to those few snacks, Joe? So, the value of the dignity of a leader of the Bouguler family is that low in your eyes?" Hearing the provocative sentence spoken by Quina, Joe shook his head quickly. He looked panicked, especially when his eyes intersected with Kevin's eyes which had been f
DIVORCED : Rejected Billionaire Heir Chap 125 : I Agree
"So, you and Jesslyn have been in a relationship for a long time?" asked Kevin with a surprised look in his eyes. It was only natural that he felt that way, because after several years of college, Joe had never once told him about the woman he was close to, let alone having a close relationship. "Yes, Grandpa. I'm sorry for never being honest with you, because Jesslyn and I also have a commitment where our relationship does not need to be exposed, we only focus on learning during college until we succeed later. And now is the right time for me to tell you everything, because I really want to marry her as a proof that I love her, Grandpa." Joe explained with a shy expression. Kevin wandered his gaze in the other direction. He felt a little amused when he saw his grandson looking shy like that. The Joe he knew was a clear picture of a firm man, not like this. It felt like he was starting to doubt whether the person in front of him was really his grandson or not. "Didn't you say that
DIVORCED : Rejected Billionaire Heir Chap 126 : Plan
Kevin and Joe's relationship is getting better, while on the other hand there is Quina who is preparing her cunning plan to remove Joe forever from this world. "Do you understand? I want you to disconnect the brake cable of Joe's car, and make it look so natural that the police won't be able to find any irregularities in the accident," Quina ordered to someone on the other side of the phone. "Yes, ma'am," the caller replied. "I'll pay you more if your efforts to get rid of Joe end in success. But if it fails and the police later become suspicious of this plan, then don't ever mention my name in case you get caught, understand?" Quina gave an ultimatum. "I understand, Madam. I've been working for a long time in a field like this, so you don't need to worry like that. This plan will not fail, nor will the police get suspicious and arrest me, because I will never let that happen later," the caller replied while affirming that she was not someone new to this kind of dark business. "T
DIVORCED : Rejected Billionaire Heir Chap 127 : The Main Reason
Joe rubbed his nose which was not itchy, an activity he usually did when he felt uncomfortable with a situation. "You're just mishearing, Jonathan. None of the conversations your mother and I had were about your father, let alone saying that he wasn't your biological father," Joe snapped. "But-" Jonathan wanted to interrupt and ask another question, but Joe quickly gave the code that he didn't want to discuss anything more on this matter. "You seem to need a vacation, Jonathan. Have your painting activities had any problems these past few days? You look tired, so you've misunderstood the topic of conversation between me and your mother," Joe suggested as he patted Jonathan on the shoulder a few times. Although he looked relaxed, he was trying hard not to look suspicious at all in Jonathan's eyes. "Maybe what you said earlier is true. My hearing has deteriorated to the point that I've misunderstood the topic of your conversation," Jonathan responded half-heartedly. It was obvious t
DIVORCED : Rejected Billionaire Heir Chap 128 : We Will Come
"So, Aunty Quina doesn't know at all that you came here to visit me?" asked Joe, raising one eyebrow. "Of course not. If she had known, she would have been very worried and her heart pressure would have gone up again, even though I only left for a few hours, instead of leaving forever," complained Jonathan who was getting tired of the rules made by his mother. Yes, since the horrific events that happened to her and Joe, Quina has been very protective of her beloved son. In fact, Jonathan has only been allowed to go out if he is with his mother. If not, then Jonathan could not go far, let alone take a vacation to quench his thirst for art, which always wanted to see a lot of scenery as a reference for his painting hobby. "It's good to see you enjoying yourself like this," Joe said heartily. "I feel happy too. Unfortunately, I can't enjoy time like this every day." Jonathan exhaled tiredly. "In fact, I'm sure that after this, Mommy will find out that I left home without telling her
DIVORCED : Rejected Billionaire Heir Chap 129 : Party
Aaron's plan to hold a celebration party for his release from prison had to be postponed. It did not run as quickly as he expected because he had to wait for his company to stabilize after taking ownership from Sarah, who had passed away. "Good job, Moss. If you hadn't helped me, taking back aiLo company might have been even tougher than it is now," Aaron complimented his secretary. "It's my job to do whatever you tell me, Mr. Aaron. Think of it as penance for the fact that I was forced to take Mrs. Sarah's side when she was alive," Moss responded awkwardly. "Let's not bring up that incident again, Moss. I've forgiven you, and you have nothing to feel guilty about. I understand you were distressed and forced to do that woman's bidding." Aaron asked Moss to stop feeling guilty for him. "Very well, sir." Aaron smiled slightly and went back to doing his work that was delayed because yesterday he had been busy preparing for the party that would take place later that night.After wait
DIVORCED : Rejected Billionaire Heir Chap 130 : Hospital
Oddie was rushed to the hospital, while the guests who saw the incident only flinched except for Joe, Jesslyn and Lucas, who was very empathetic and had a close relationship with the man. "Increase your driving speed, Joe. I'm afraid we'll be too late getting Mr Oddie to the hospital, and it could be fatal," Jesslyn pleaded while biting her nails anxiously. It was a habit she often engaged in when feeling excessively anxious, and she couldn't stop doing it at all until now, even though Joe frequently asked her to stop because it wasn't good for her health. "Yes, Babe. I've been driving at the maximum speed within the context of safety. If I go faster than this, we might be the ones who will get hurt later," Joe replied hurriedly. He also felt the same extreme worry as Jesslyn, but he still had to think clearly to keep them safe. "Sorry." Jesslyn instantly realized her mistake; she immediately apologized, which Joe had directly brushed off. "No problem, Babe. I understand that you'r

Chap 173 : Who, Mom?
Jonathan accelerated his footsteps towards the place his father had indicated. His heart was beating so fast it was hard for him to hold back his anger towards the man who had deceived him. "Yesterday, you got away because I was still kind to you, Mark. But not this time. I will make you feel what is called hell on earth!" Jonathan was determined. With one step left to the warehouse where his captive was kept, Jonathan tried to control himself. He inhaled and exhaled many times to keep his emotions and expressions under control, so Mark would have no opportunity to fight him later. "Wow, didn't I see it wrong? The person I thought had gone to the other side of the world is still loyal to this country," Jonathan chuckled. Not forgetting, he showed a cruel grin to intimidate his opponent. Mark, who Jonathan had already tortured, was naturally very scared now. If he were free from the shackles that bound him at the moment, he would indeed run as far away from the man as possible. "W
Chap 172
Joe visits Oddie after not seeing the man for a long time. The relationship between the two of them was quite good, especially after Sarah died and Oddie decided to consider Jesslyn as his daughter. And now, Joe's purpose for coming to see Oddie was to discuss what was happening at Skyland Company. He wanted to get some advice that might help him to overcome the problems that were happening, especially since the man was quite an influential person and had a lot of experience. "So, the news about SkyLand Company going downhill is true?" Oddie asked. He, whose condition had improved, took a sip of tea served by one of the servants in his house. "Yes, Mr. Oddie. I would like to hear your opinion on the problems that SkyLand Company is facing. Moreover, you are one of the investors in my company, so you might be able to give some thoughts from your perspective as an investor," Joe pleaded. "Call me dad, Joe. Aren't we family now? Don't be so formal when we're not in the office," Oddie
Chap 171 : What's going on?
Joe returned to work as usual, and Cristine welcomed her boss with great joy. After a long time of authorizing Cristine to take care of the company, Joe finally sat down in his work chair as he began his task of solving the many problems that had befallen Skyland Company lately. "What about the investors who have withdrawn their funds, Cristine? Are they willing to come back and entrust their money to SkyLand Company after I start working again?" Joe asked Cristine who was handing over some important files that required the man's signature. "No, Mr. Joe." Cristine took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly to ease the tightness attacking her chest. "I've investigated everything, Mr. Joe. And there seems to be a reason why they withdrew the investment." Hearing the explanation from his secretary, Joe looked interested. He stopped what he was doing for a moment, then looked at Cristine and gave her the code to explain further."When you handed over the main task to me to lead SkyLan
Chap 170
Aaron and Esther left Zack who was still faithful to shouting incoherently, berating and insulting Aaron so that the man would come back and deal with his current behavior. Unfortunately, Aaron was not provoked at all. He didn't care about Zack's screams, and neither did Esther. After coming out of the room that held Zack, Esther immediately dropped her body onto the sofa located not far away. She looked tired. "It turns out that dealing with someone like Zack is tiring too, huh? I didn't expect him to still be able to fight back when he's in such a tight spot." Esther chuckled, as if she had forgotten what Zack had done to her earlier. "Zack is like that. Why do you think Joe chose to kick him out of the house instead of forgiving him?" Aaron narrowed his eyes, then snapped his fingers as Esther looked back at him with furrowed brows. "Yep, Zack is the type of person who doesn't know himself. That's why, Joe would rather let him go than have to live with him for the rest of his l
Chap 169 : Hallucination?
Joe took a deep breath, he asked Cristine to go home first and he would think about what he would do next. Ben, who was visiting his daughter at the time, immediately approached Joe and patted him on the shoulder. "You can focus on your work again, Joe. As for Jesslyn, let me take care of her. When she regains consciousness, then I'll let you know." "But, Dad?" Joe wanted to argue. He wanted to be by his wife's side at all times. He doesn't want that when she woke up, he wouldn't be by her side. Joe knew that Jesslyn would be devastated to learn that their future child had died in her womb, and he wanted to be by her side to give her encouragement and strength. "There's no refusal, Joe. This is all for the good of everyone." Ben tried to open Joe's mind. "Think about it, if your company were to go downhill, you would have to cut back on employees, which would affect the families of those employees because the head of their family would no longer have a job. In addition, your finan
Chap 168 : Please Come back, Sir
"We're sorry, your future child cannot be saved. Mrs. Jesslyn's condition is also still not improving, she is still in a critical condition and will have to be admitted into the ICU after this. This is because she was brought to the hospital too late, and the patient has already lost a lot of blood." The doctor's explanation was like a sledgehammer hitting Joe's heart. He sat down, then covered his face. Not long after, there was a numb voice. The man was crying, because he had to get such a painful fact when his life was already on top. Joe didn't expect that this painful thing could happen to him. And this time he couldn't do anything but wait for his wife's condition to improve. "Joe." Rosetta approached her son-in-law and put her hand on his shoulder as a form of transferring strength and encouragement.Honestly, in the deepest corner of her heart, Rosetta felt very guilty for having to lie about the real reason for Jesslyn's fall. However, she was forced to do this so that Zac
Chap 167 : Bad news
Rosetta rushed over to her daughter who had fallen and was moaning in pain. With shaky steps from shock, she struggled to help Jesslyn up. "Argh! It hurts!" Jesslyn cried out, her breathing labored and her face starting to turn pale. Rosetta was getting more and more worried and scared when she saw the condition that befell her daughter, her mind was too raging that she couldn't think clearly to find another way out so that her daughter could be saved immediately. Meanwhile, Zack, who didn't know that the impulse he was making had a very bad impact, immediately trembled. Instead of helping his sister, Zack pulled his mother and threatened the woman who had given birth to him. "Mommy, don't tell anyone what happened today! If you dare to do that, then I will act recklessly!" After saying that, Zack quickly left Rosetta who was rooted to the spot. The middle-aged woman's mind was raging, and her consciousness seemed to return after hearing Jesslyn moan for the last time before col
Chap 166 : Blood
"Yes, Mommy was expelled by Grandpa from the house after the resistance she put up. I'm actually confused as to why Mommy even fought back, even though from the stories of some of the bodyguards, since the beginning of Mommy's punishment she doesn't dare to fight Grandpa. Even facing or looking into Grandpa's eyes, Mommy doesn't dare." Jonathan explained. "Then, where did Aunty Quina go? Does she have somewhere to sleep tonight?" Joe asked, wanting to extract more information from his cousin. "I don't know because I didn't have time to ask Mommy either. Mommy chose to leave after being kicked out and she doesn't say anything either. But, I think Mommy must have somewhere to go whether it's a hotel or an inn to sleep tonight. Moreover, Grandpa also gave her money before Mommy." "So, that means aunty Quina didn't leave empty-handed, right?" Joe asked again, which was immediately greeted with a nod by Jonathan. "But why did Aunty prefer to go together with Aaron instead of looking fo
Chap 165 : Expulsion
Quina was sitting restlessly at the front of the cafe near her house that provided a place to relax for customers who wanted to enjoy the outdoor atmosphere. "Where's Aaron? What took him so long?" Quina chuckled in annoyance. Every now and then she took a sip of the coffee she had ordered in order to sit in that part of the cafe. After taking a sip of the coffee, Quina's face looked different. Her brow furrowed, and her eyes narrowed. "What is this coffee? It doesn't taste very good." Quina looked disgustedly at the coffee, then pushed the glass away from her body. "It turns out that I was right in my assumption that the food and drinks usually consumed by the lower middle class are very bad. I feel like spitting out the coffee I just drank." Quina said quite loudly, and her words provoked various reactions from the people around her, especially the visitors who were mostly students. Those who heard the inappropriate sentence immediately booed Quina openly and it made her even mo
