Chapter 2 Divorce
Jean adjusted her clothes in the room.
She looked up at her father’s gray photo and remembered Edgar’s cruel words.
“I married you to seek revenge against your disgusting father. Now that he is dead, and you’re the only one left, it is your turn to pay for his crimes.” Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Jean was physically and mentally exhausted. She kneeled on the floor and could not stop tears from flowing down her cheeks. “Dad, I’ve failed you…”
That day, the news of the Eyer family’s overnight downfall became the headline of various major newspapers. The following morning, a piece of entertainment news trended on the Internet!
As Jean was still grieving the loss of her father, a group of people barged into her home in the countryside and moved her furniture out of the house.
Jean’s eyes were still swollen from crying as she went downstairs to find out what was causing the loud noises. Her housekeeper, Brigid Lang, rushed to her and said, “Madam! A group of people suddenly barged in and moved things from the house. I can’t stop them!”
Jean became alert and stopped one of the people. The man was trying to move a large antique porcelain vase from the foyer. “What are you doing? I’ll call the police to arrest you for trespassing!”
“Trespassing? Doesn’t this house belong to Mr. Royden? We are acting under his instruction to move everything in the house. I apologize if we’ve disturbed you.”
Jean was stunned and suddenly remembered something. Although my father purchased this house for me as my marital home, I made Edgar the sole owner of this house as a sign of my trust in him.
What is Edgar up to now?
Jean took out her phone to call Edgar and to ask what was going on. However, the phone vibrated, causing her to accidentally press on a notification and open the news.
Edgar Royden, president of Royden Group, announced through an interview that he would be marrying Ms. Gigi Reece, a rookie actress. It is reported that Mr. Royden has divorced Ms. Jean Eyer.
Jean gripped her phone tightly. Divorce? Why am I not aware that I have divorced?
“Madam, what… What should we do?” Brigid panicked as things got out of hand.
Mr. Royden refuses to show Madam even a little mercy. She is his wife, after all. Why does he have to be so cruel?
“Call the police! Call the police now!” Jean finally ordered after remaining silent for a while. It is the only way for me to see Edgar!
