Chapter 20
Chapter 20
The project in Yrare had been under Neville’s management for nearly half a year. With construction about to commence, the fund of 600 million dollars for the project vanished.
Although the Preston family was rich enough to handle this, this amount of money wasn’t negligible. Neville had to trace the whereabouts of the missing funds.
That evening. Neville instructed Bernard to pack his baggage for an immediate departure.
Bernard asked, “Mr. Preston, should we still keep an eye on Miss Guzman!”
Neville’s handsome face turned icy. “If she wants to act recklessly, let her be.”
During this period, she repeatedly challenged his boundaries, making him lose patience.
“Perhaps Miss Guzman is just testing how important she is to you,” Bernard said.
Neville sneered. “She miscalculated. I would never care about her.”
When they had entered into their marriage, he had been explicit about his expectations. He made it clear that she was to play the role of Mrs. Preston and not to entertain any illusions beyond that. However, despite his warnings, she couldn’t help but fall for him.
Neville and Bernard boarded a plane back to Norton.
When Madison woke up, Jeremy was no longer by her side, leaving only a note, which read, “Mommy, I’ve left with Ariel. Remember to have breakfast.”
She turned her head and saw two sandwiches on the table, with a handsome self–portrait drawn in ketchup. Clearly, it was made by Jeremy
Although only five years old, Jeremy could take care of himself quite well.
Madison suddenly realized that he had quietly grown up into a young adult, mature and considerate
From now on, she wouldn’t miss any moment of his growth.
After breakfast, Madison informed Ross to go to the airport.
Ross had partied at the bar last night. He smelled of smoke and alcohol, with lipstick marks on his collar, looking like a carefree playboy.
Madison scornfully said, “After getting off the plane, find a hotel to freshen up before meeting Hazel”
Ross, indifferent, replied, “My dear Hazel doesn’t care about such things. No matter how I look, she likes me.”
Madison sternly said, “Ross, Hazel is a good woman. Don’t let her down.”
“Rest assured, even if I mistreat Hazel a hundred times, she still treats me well. That’s my charm, Ross said.
“When some people give up, they won’t come back. If she is disappointed, you might lose her,” Madison said.
Ross lazily glanced at her and said, “Madison, I’m not as heartless as Neville, and Hazel isn’t as foolish as you
Madison smiled. She was indeed naive. Knowing Neville didn’t love her, she still chose to love him unconditionally, turning these three years into a joke.
Seeing her like this, Ross regretted poking at her pain. He patted her shoulder to console her. “It’s okay, Madison. After you leave Neville, I will take you to have fun. I promise you’ll enjoy every night.”
Madison rolled her eyes at him
After arriving at the airport, Madison felt as if someone was watching her from behind. When she turned around, she didn’t find anyone suspicious
Watching Madison and Ross leave, Jeremy finally walked out of the cafe with Ariel.
Ariel couldn’t help but ask, “Jeremy, if you’re so reluctant to leave Mommy, why not say goodbye in person?”
Jeremy sniffled and said, Tm afraid Mommy will cry.
Every separation from Madison was painful for him, but Jeremy didn’t want Madison to be sad, so he would just see her off silently.
Ariel ruffled Jeremy’s little head and said, “You’re so considerate.”
Jeremy looked at the departing plane and silently vowed that he would stay with Ariel on Warcana Island as he promised and waited for Madison to visit him.
Even if she was busy, he could actively find her.
No one was allowed to separate him from Madison from now on.
“Ariel, let’s go.”
When Madison’s plane landed, she sent a message to Neville. [Meet you at the city hall in half an hour.)
At this moment, Neville was in a meeting at the company. Last night, he had traced the hacker who stole the 600 million dollars to Croginia
600 million dollars was a significant amount, and the police promptly filed a case, coordinating with the police in Croginia for the arrest operation
The project in Yrare couldn’t afford any delays. Neville initiated the company’s emergency funds to ensure the project’s smooth progress.
When he saw the message, coldness covered his handsome face.
For a moment, he couldn’t figure out Madison’s intentions. Was she joking with him, or was it about Ross? he wondered.
“Bernard, prepare the car,” Neville ordered.
Regardless, he had to go to the city hall to see what tricks she was playing
When Madison stepped off the plane, she headed straight to the city hall. Seeing newlyweds, she felt a bit lost.
She had once envisioned a love story with Neville, even though she knew he had someone else in his heart. She held onto a glimmer of hope, thinking that if she loved him wholeheartedly, he would eventually love her back.
Even if he deceived her, she would be happy, but Neville never cared about Madison from beginning to end.
Ross said she was burying her head in her own fantasies, unaware that she couldn’t change Neville’s mind.
She couldn’t warm Neville’s heart, and she couldn’t save herself.
But now, she had woken up from her dream and decided to start a new life.
When Neville arrived at the city hall, it was already eleven o’clock. He immediately spotted the woman in a light green dress standing under the shade, looking charming and gentle.
She walked over when she saw him and said, “I thought you would change your mind.”
Neville looked down at her and said. “Madison, you think highly of yourself. I’ve always kept my word. Make sure you’ve thought it through.”
Madison smiled. “I plan to turn over a new leaf. I don’t want to stick to a man like you”
Neville squinted. He found that Madison had changed a lot and became articulate and sharp.
They went into the hall silently.
Things went smoothly during the paperwork, and within half an hour, both of them had divorce papers in hand.
As they left the hall, Madison, still unwilling, mocked, “Congratulations, Mr. Preston, on becoming single again. You can marry Miss Conner.”
Neville coldly scoffed. “Madison, don’t come begging me.” Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Madison said. “Rest assured, even if I starve on the streets, I won’t come begging to you. But based on our three years of marriage, I’ll give you some advice.”
“Oh
“Don’t miss my kindness and thoughtfulness, and don’t beg me to come back to you, Madison said.
Neville looked at her with a half–smile. “I won’t, never.”
Madison showed a relieved expression. “Then I can rest easy
She walked a few steps and suddenly turned back, saying. The past three years are like a joke to me.”
Neville sat in the car with a gloomy face, and his aura was cold and strong.
Bernard held his breath and timidly asked. “Mr. Preston, shall we head back to the office?”
Neville asked him, “Does she think I’ll come back to her?”
Bernard felt that Neville was in a bad mood. Choosing his words carefully, Bernard said, “Women like to throw tantrums. She might come back to you in a few days”
“Once she left, don’t think about coming back!”
