Once Broken, Now Unstoppable

Chapter 7: Shocking Rex and Jessica!

Chapter 7

"Scram."

"You have grown wings!" Jessica roared furiously, her face turning so red it looked like smoke was about to fume out of her ears.

This was the first time!

The first time Thomas—the weak ex-husband she always ordered around, who obeyed without complaint, even smiling while doing so—had ever spoken such cold, heartless words to her!

And the worst part? It was in public! Humiliating her!

Seeing Jessica hopping around like a child throwing a tantrum, Thomas scoffed and turned around to leave. But the moment she saw how he was ignoring her, Jessica felt like her chest was about to explode from the rage that had built up inside her.

"You useless waste! Stop! Don't you dare leave me standing! I should be the one walking away, not you!"

Hearing those words, Thomas smirked and stopped. Then, he slowly turned to look at Jessica—as if he were watching a child foolishly ordering an elder to jump to his death.

"What do you want?"

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Jessica coldly said, "At Grandma's birthday party tomorrow, I will tell Grandma that I want to divorce you. From then on, we will no longer be together."

"Okay, so?"

"So... So... I hope you don't go rolling on the floor, begging for forgiveness, making a scene like a madman. And don’t worry, I will give you $2,000 to take care of yourself—lest you go jumping off a bridge from emotional damage."

Jessica almost choked on her own words at Thomas’s lackadaisical response.

She had expected him to tremble, for his expression to turn pale, for him to plead—but instead, he stood there completely unfazed, making her feel uneasy for the first time.

"You think too much." Thomas sneered in disdain.

Maybe, in Jessica’s deluded opinion, he would be the one jumping off a bridge.

But in his opinion? Jessica would be the one jumping—once she learned his true identity.

"Oh, please. We all know you're a waste. A waste down to the deepest part of your heart. Stop pretending like this doesn’t bother you."

Jessica shot him a disgusted glare, hating how he was pretending to be unfazed.

"Jessica, why are you bringing yourself down by exchanging words with this waste?" At this point, Rex, who had been impatiently waiting for Jessica, stepped forward arrogantly with his chin raised high. "Ignore him. He isn't even worthy of holding your shoes. Let's go to the fourth floor and pick a gift for Grandma."

Saying so, he proudly took out his Gold membership card from his pocket and flipped it before Thomas as if taunting him that he could never have such a card.

Seeing this, Thomas almost laughed out loud but held himself back, watching in amusement.

"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, babe. Let's hurry up then. I can't stand looking at this waste for much longer," Jessica said as she hugged Rex's arm intimately.

Nodding proudly, Rex threw a look of disdain at Thomas and said, "Poverty-stricken man, there are a lot of cheap garbage items in the tourist area. You can pick any one of your choice there while I take your ex-wife to a more luxurious area. Don't worry, when I come back, I will pay the bills for you."

With that, they burst out laughing, holding each other as they climbed to the second floor.

"Childish." Thomas shook his head and smiled before following them, after all, there was only a single staircase leading to the upper floors.

"Waste! What are you doing behind us? Get the hell out of here!" Jessica yelled with anger on her face. Why wouldn't she, when she discovered Thomas was shamelessly following them?

"I didn't know this was your home," Thomas sneered with cold eyes.

"You...!" Jessica choked on her anger as she heard those words.

"Baby, don't waste your breath exchanging words with a shameless man like him. Let's keep going, and I'm sure at the third floor, he won't have the ability to follow us again, as only Silver members are allowed there," Rex said as he threw a disdainful look at Thomas before pulling Jessica away.

Reaching the entrance leading to the third floor, there was a card-swiping pad on the door that only allowed people with membership cards to pass through.

Reaching there, Rex took out his Gold membership card from his pocket and brushed it on the card slot.

However, just when Rex wanted to step in, he saw some security guards passing by and immediately halted before pointing at Thomas with arrogance, saying to them, "We don't know that man behind us! If he says he knows us and wants to fish in troubled waters, you can drive him out directly or even throw him out!"

"Okay, Mr. Xavier." The security guard nodded and looked at Thomas with slight hostility.

"Let's go now, baby. Unless he has a membership card, he won’t be able to follow us again." Rex smiled and hugged Jessica's willow waist before throwing a look at Thomas as the door slowly closed.

Thomas wanted to confront him?

Hmph! He was still a kid in the grand scheme of things.

Seeing that the two fake lovers had left, Thomas moved toward the door at a calm pace.

"Please, sir, swipe your card," the security guard said, watching Thomas intently. He didn’t want to be rude just because Rex asked him to—unless Thomas failed to produce a membership card.

Expressionless, Thomas calmly took out his Diamond Membership card from his pocket and swiped it on the card slot.

Diamond card?!

The security guard’s eyes widened, and his expression turned exaggerated as if he had just seen the great president of China in flesh and blood.

Immediately, his attitude took a 180-degree turn as his expression became one of flattery. "Sir, please forgive this lowly one for his rude attitude. You can go in now. If you need someone to guide you around, I will arrange it immediately."

Hearing those words, Thomas shook his head in disapproval and smiled. Right now, he suddenly understood—without money, a man will hardly be respected. Even among poor people, there are still ranks.

Stepping into the elevator that took him to the third floor, Thomas stumbled onto Rex and Jessica again.

Upon seeing Thomas, they both frowned, their expressions mixed with puzzlement and anger.

"Trash! Did you bribe the guard? Or does he know you from somewhere and let you in?"

Hearing her words, Thomas didn’t speak. It was beneath him to exchange words with a woman who had already broken up with him, cheated on him, and didn’t feel the slightest shame about it.

Seeing how Thomas was ignoring her, Jessica’s face turned red from the shame of being ignored by a poor man like him. She spun around and grabbed Rex's arm saying, "Let's head to the fourth floor! I don't believe he has the guts to follow us there where the security is tight!"
