Getting My Ex-wife Back

Zoey chuckled and whispered into her ear, “I actually did those things because Hansen wanted me to test if you were in love with him because he wasn’t sure about it. Who would’ve known that you actually fell for it, and even looked very jealous. I can tell that you really do love Hansen, and he truly loves you as well. That day when you went missing on the streets, he was so worried about you. I’ve never seen him so anxious before, he even ran everywhere to find you. It was then that I knew that the both of you were truly in love.”

Zoey said without hesitation. She had just got off the plane and hadn’t heard of the news that Hansen was marrying Aria soon. She only thought of the last time she third-wheeled Hansen and Jenna in Los Angeles. It made Jenna very uncomfortable, and she was worried that Jenna would hate her and affect her allowances from her cousin. Perhaps if she flattered Jenna enough, she would get more allowance in the future.

Jenna’s face turned pale when she heard Zoey’s words. The memories of them in Los Angeles flashed through her mind, and they were so in love and sincere to each other then. She felt the pain in her heart grow so much that she wasn’t able to breathe, and her eyes involuntarily glanced at Hansen, who wasn’t too far away. At that time, Hansen looked at her as well, as if they had telepathy. Their eyes met, and Jenna quickly looked away.

“Since we are all here, we should have fun together and have a merry gathering. Sabrina, be sure to entertain Zoey well.” Sabrina had known Zoey since they were children, as the two of them used to visit Richards Manor frequently. The two of them were not from the Richards family, but they had similar personalities and were able to get along well with each other. Therefore, Jenna happily left the job of taking care of Zoey to Sabrina.

Sabrina agreed and quickly brought Zoey to play elsewhere.

“Rayan, please take care of my good friend.” Hannah instructed Rayan as she saw that only the three of them were left.

Rayan smiled. “It’s your order. I dare not disobey.”

Hannah laughed at his remark, then she pulled Jenna to the side and lowered her head as she asked with an astonished expression, “How come I heard that Rayan was going to marry you? Is that really true?”

Jenna was stunned. Her mouth was left open in shock and nothing came out, as she remembered what Rayan had said to her.

“Tsk tsk, Rayan is such a virtuous and decent man.” Hannah complimented, “You’re a divorced woman, and you’re pregnant with your ex-husband’s child, yet he doesn’t mind and is willing to marry you. That’s very righteous of him. I admire him, and I envy you as well, being able to find a man who loves you so wholeheartedly. You should cherish him, it’s rare to find men like these nowadays. God is fair, you may have lost Hansen, but you have Rayan now. In fact, it’s probably a good thing that Hansen didn’t marry you. Besides, Rayan is definitely not any worse than Hansen. You truly are blessed.”

Hannah made it sound so touching, but Jenna didn’t know how to explain to her. So, she gave up on trying instead to avoid making things even more complicated.

“What about you? You’re twenty-si, x and no longer young. You should be looking for a boyfriend too.” Jenna quickly changed the topic so that they didn’t have to talk about her.

“Don’t worry, I prefer being single. Besides, I’m an exceptional woman. I don’t think any man is worthy of dating me, so I have no choice.” Hannah said proudly. She stood up straight the moment the topic revolved around her.

Jenna laughed at her sense of humor and said softly, “No worries. I’ve invited you here because I’m concerned about your love life. All the men here today are either celebrities or wealthy men from A City. Go ahead and seduce them with your tactics, stir up some sparks. I will pretend that I don’t know about it. From what I know, the men present are mostly affectionate men, and they’d be happy to serve their loved ones. As long as you have your eye on them, they’ll let you take advantage of them for as much as you want. What do you think about that? Put in some effort and find a man who satisfies you within these three days. I’m waiting for your good news. I even prepared the best guest room for you.”

Jenna spoke cheekily, and burst into laughter as she reached the funny parts.

This time, it was Hannah’s turn to look upset, and she exclaimed that Jenna had been damaged by Hansen’s scum.

The two of them walked inside as they laughed and talked. Rayan followed by their side, and let out a sigh of relief seeing that Jenna was in a good mood.

Many guests attended the banquet, including almost all the sons of the wealthy and famous families in A City. Jenna was confident that these men were all here to find pretty targets. Very soon, Jenna started having a hard time looking for Hannah. All the men were surrounding her and flattering her, and she probably forgot all about Jenna.

Jenna knew Hannah very well. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to date, she just never met the right man. Besides, she spent most of the time being busy in her cafe, so she barely had time to go out for dates.

They were both twenty-six already, and they’d be considered ‘leftover women’ very soon. Although Jenna was single, she didn’t want her best friend to be single as well.

The opening ceremony of the New Year Banquet went smoothly. Ever since Aria arrived, Jenna didn’t really have anything to do. She was supposed to host the ceremony with Sabrina, but Aria took her place, so she was relieved of those duties. However, she was happy with the new-found peace as she was already weak, and carrying a child made it even more difficult for her.

After lunch, Jenna was just about to take a rest in her guest room when she saw everyone crowding in front as she walked close by along the hallway. She could hear faint arguing sounds as if a quarrel was going on.

“You b*tch, who do you think you are! How dare you order me!” Zoey’s voice was loud and clear, and it quickly entered Jenna’s ears.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“I was ordered by Ms. McAdams, the young madam of the Richards family, to pass you a message. She wants you to clean up the gown immediately. If anything happens to the gown, you must compensate her with another one that’s exactly the same. You should know that this gown is the only one in the world, and it costs a few million,” Minnie said bluntly with her blaring voice, which attracted more attention.

Jenna frowned as she heard the sounds. She had a bad feeling about it, and quickly walked towards the crowd.

“It’s just money. A few million is nothing. Hansen has way more than that. I want to go see Hansen,” Zoey said frankly, with an unbothered expression on her face.

“Exactly. Those rags looked so bad on her, and yet they cost so much. As if they’re precious or something. It’s not like it’s a historical relic, and even if it was, it should’ve been worn by a dead person. How did it get on Miss McAdams?” Sabrina scorned together with Zoey.

“Alright, all of you have no respect for Ms. McAdams. You purposely ruined her gown, and now you’re mocking her. Your attitudes are horrible. I’ll go tell Ms. McAdams and let her get Mr. Richards to deal with you.” Minnie threatened. She specifically brought the gown over to get an explanation, yet didn’t receive any apologies. Instead, she was bullied and scolded by both of them, and that made her furious.

“Go ahead, you barbaric woman, you’re only getting your way by relying on that disgusting lady, Aria. I’ve disliked you since a long time ago. If you make me mad, I will not hesitate to fight you myself.” Zoey used to be an athlete, and she had already been yelled at by Minnie many times that day.

How dare Minnie order and belittle her just because she was close to Aria! She should have known that when she used to visit Richards Manor, even Grandma and Hansen had to listen to her, especially Hansen, who had to calm her down when she got mad. However, now she was being bullied by the minion of the so-called ‘young madam’ whom Hansen hadn’t even married yet, so she was really in the mood for a fight.

“Would you dare to hit me? Who do you think you are? You’re only the cousin, and you’re not even married to Norton Richards yet, who knows what will happen in the future. Ms. McAdams is the young madam of the Richards family, the heiress to Richards Manor, and soon to be the woman in charge of all household affairs in Richards Manor. By then, all of you will have to obey her when you visit. You’d better be smart and start respecting Ms. McAdams…”

Before Minnie could finish her sentence, a loud ‘smack’ rang in the air, and a hard slap landed on her cheek. She had always been a couch potato and tried her best to avoid gym classes, so it was no surprise that she couldn’t dodge Zoey’s attack. By the time she felt the pain, Zoey’s handprint was already on her face, and Sabrina had snatched back the gown, trampled all over it on the floor, and spat saliva on it. She even used her high heels to step on the gown and rubbed it against the floor as she wasn’t satisfied.

The gown was completely ruined.

Minnie went ballistic the minute she saw the scene. She extended her arm and wanted to hit Sabrina, but Zoey noticed her actions and intercepted her attack. Before Minnie could lay a finger on Sabrina, Zoey gave her stomach a kick, and she immediately fell to the ground, wailing in pain as if she were a pig about to be slaughtered.

Just as Jenna waded through the crowd and was able to see what was going on, Zoey had lifted her leg and was about to land a kick on Minnie’s face.

Jenna was terrified when she saw it, and instantly shouted at Zoey to stop her.

Zoey finally retracted her leg and didn’t kick Minnie in the face.

“What are you doing?” Jenna asked with lingering fear.

“Jenna, we’re helping you teach this b*tch a lesson,” Sabrina said as she clapped happily.

It’s over, Jenna thought. She lowered her head to find that Aria’s gown had been completely destroyed by Sabrina. She felt a surge of dread in her heart, yet saw that the two ladies were still feeling proud of and righteous about their work, not realizing the trouble they’ve caused. The fact that they even said that they did this to avenge her made her heart drop.

Minnie laid on the ground and cried as she whined, “Look at these terrible people. They’ve ruined Ms. McAdams’ gown, and now they want to hit me! They’re hitting me!” It was obvious that her cries were to stir up drama.

Jenna was very frustrated, and wanted to pick the gown up and send it to the dry washing room, but then she saw many guards running towards them.

To avoid accidents throughout those few days, the security was way stricter than usual. The guards immediately rushed over as they noticed that something was going on.
