How My Ex Became My Next

Seeing that the atmosphere was thick with tension, Patrick asked Braydon to lighten the atmosphere, “Do you dare to not come back even if Grandpa doesn’t ask you?”

Braydon felt so embarrassed that he kept his head down. “Of course not. It’s Grandpa’s birthday. How can I not come back?”

Gilda chuckled. Sure enough, only Patrick and her grandfather could handle Braydon.

Richard looked much happier now.

Richard said to Jeffrey, “Help Gilly with the nanorobots.”

Gilda said. “Come on, Grandpa, you don’t have to ask Jeffrey to do that. He will do his best.” She held on to her two brother’s arms and beamed at Richard.

Jeffrey said indifferently, “Of course.”

Seeing that Gilda was so focused on her career, Richard felt relieved.

Patrick stepped forward and said, “Grandpa needs to rest. Bye.”

Then Patrick hang up the video call.

In the living room, Derek was leisurely enjoying tea.

He was waiting for good news. He habitually rubbed his thumb and realized that his gold ring wasn’t there. He felt depressed but thinking that it would soon return to him, he hummed tunes happily.

The butler stood for a long time. He checked the time and found that it had been a long time since the group of people were sent to find Cilda. He was afraid of upsetting Derek so he quietly went to the other side of the room and dialed the number of the tattooed man.

The call was finally answered after the butler dialed it several times.

The butler said, “What are you doing? It’s a pretty easy task. Haven’t you finished it? Did you get it from that woman?”

The man on the other end of the phone said, “This is the police station. I happen to be looking for you.

Come here now.”

The butler was so frightened that he dropped the phone on the ground. He trotted to Derek. “Oh, no! Those people were taken to the police station. The police want you to be there!”

Derek smashed the teacup, the teapot, and the kettle all on the ground.

He thought, ‘A slut who rose to power by support from a man. How could she fool me like this?

“No one ever dared to disrespect me before!

Derek said, “Get everyone in the entertainment circle here. I’m going to make this woman look like a street

rat in Allath!”

Jensen happened to have arrived at the Donovan residence.

Today was the day for Madeleine to do the prenatal examination. After dropping Madeleine off at the Donovan residence, Jensen found many big shots in the entertainment industry in the backyard when he was about to leave.

He walked over to them and happened to hear Derek’s plan.

Derek said. “The material 1 just gave you is enough for several pages. Without my permission, no one can replace them!

“Anyone who does that will be the Donovan family’s enemy! You know what the consequences will be.”

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

Jensen quickly walked out of the gate, got into the car, and called Gilda.

However, it was rejected!

He patiently dialed the number again and the call was answered.

Gilda said, “What’s wrong, Mr. Harrington?”

Jensen said, “For the last time, I advise you to return Derek’s ring back to him.”

On the other end of the phone, Gilda said casually, “It’s my own business.”

Jensen said impatiently, “Among so many people around the world, why do you have to offend him?” He didn’t understand why Gilda never listened to him.

Gilda snorted, “Mr. Harrington, I think we both know whose fault it is.”

Gilda did it only because Madeleine plotted the car accident. She was simply fighting back.

Jensen said, “Now he is trying to get help from the whole entertainment industry to’smear you. It’s just a ring. Why do you have to take it so seriously?”

Gilda snorted, “Just a ring?”

“Be wise, Gilda.” Jensen said in an extremely low voice, “The condition is the same as last time. I will pay

for it.”

Gilda said, “No way!”

Jensen frowned, “You are going against the whole world! It’s not worth it.”

Gilda said, “Jensen, you and Derek are essentially the same kind of person. You both think I’m just a powerless woman. You think I’m just lucky enough that someone helped me become the general manager of Glory Corporation.

“Deep inside, you think my dignity means nothing. I’m even inferior to your dogs. You only care about your own goals and never care about others.

“If I didn’t have that gold ring, maybe I wouldn’t even have a chance to talk with you guys, right?”

Gilda’s words made Jensen speechless.

What Gilda thought was right. Jensen thought, “If she were still my wife, I would ask her to apologize to Derek and give the gold ring back to him.”

Without that gold ring, he would choose to do nothing because of his grudge against Gilda.
