Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

Chapter 797 - 411 Return to Hughes Clan, See Joshua Again

Jade Willow left the jewelry store. The wind started in the afternoon, and even wrapping herself tighter in the expensive fur coat couldn’t make her any warmer. She felt miserably cold all over.

At this time in the past, she should have been in the most luxurious hotel, with a gentle warm breeze, enjoying afternoon tea and exquisite desserts.

But now the money in her pocket could only last her two more days.

What should she do? She had never worked before and knew that living on a few thousand a month wasn’t a life at all.

It must be that woman, Nora, that day in the mall, causing a scene like that with her. Surely, she used some tricks to make Alexander treat her this way. It must be.

Alexander checked the time; it was still a bit early. Then he went to the city’s most famous cake shop to get a matcha cake for Nora. Her taste was always mild, and this flavor should suit her. The subtle green looked very comforting, and after thinking for a bit, he also got a strawberry-flavored one.

All girls like this; she probably wouldn’t mind. What else was there?

"Sir, would you like to take one of our new fruit teas as well? It’s a special hot drink launched for the winter, very popular with girls."

The store clerk enthusiastically recommended. Alexander nodded. He thought she hadn’t eaten much at noon, so he’d bring her some snacks before he got busy with work again. Damn Joshua Hughes, leaving a bunch of things for him at this time while he ran off to Washington State for who knows what, without saying when he’d return.

Nora looked at the woman sitting on the sofa; it hadn’t been long since they’d met, yet she seemed as wilted as a flower deprived of nourishment. Jade Willow coming to find her was indeed unexpected. However, she had already made it clear that she was divorcing Alexander, so why was she still seeking her out?

"Miss Thompson, I won’t make fun of you anymore. Please ask Alexander to forgive me. He’s ignoring me now, Miss Thompson. I won’t compete with you anymore. I’ll stay at home obediently. I don’t want to be Mrs. King anymore."

Jade Willow pleaded with a pale face. If she couldn’t be Mrs. King, at least she could still live comfortably.

"I’ll say it again, what he does is his business. We have separated, and you should find him."

Nora looked at the woman who was almost in tears with a headache. She no longer possessed the arrogance she had the last time they met. How terrifying it is when a woman is enslaved by money.

At this time, Alexander was eagerly heading to Nora’s office.

The delicately packed box contained the cakes he selected. He pushed the door open and immediately saw Jade Willow crying on the sofa, and his face darkened.

"What are you doing here?"

Alexander’s tone wasn’t pleasant, almost shooting icy arrows from his gaze, enough to kill.

It finally came to this day, the three of them sitting face to face, what a ridiculous scene.

Nora stood up. She couldn’t stand this feeling. Even though she was determined to forget the past, seeing them reminded her of her new marriage when her husband was spending time in another woman’s bed. The two people were right in front of her now, and suddenly she felt like she couldn’t breathe.

Why won’t these people leave her with some peace?

Why do they keep bringing back unpleasant memories?

"Charlotte, I..." For a moment, Alexander didn’t know what to say. The current situation was even more embarrassing for him.

No matter how he explained, it wouldn’t be enough. There was indeed that physical relationship with this woman. He watched as Nora walked out of his office sadly, wanting to follow.

But Jade Willow lunged forward, tightly hugging him: "Alexander, I don’t dare anymore. I won’t think too much anymore, nor will I compete with her for clothes or mock her. Please forgive me. I’ll go back to not bothering you like before."

Jade Willow clung to him as if grasping the straw that could save her life, refusing to let go.

Alexander grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the office. He knew Nora was truly angry now.

This was her workplace, a newly established company, and it was the time she was building authority in front of all her subordinates. But Jade Willow came crying like this, inevitably sparking everyone’s imagination. She no longer wanted his help, but unable to help, he still caused her trouble, damn it.
