A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 16

After a long tiring day, I felt like I was going to collapse.

I took a shower and was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep when I received a phone call from my mother. She was swearing at me.

She said that I had no conscience and I was ungrateful, I watched as my brother was taken away and said nothing.

I listened to my mother's complaints on the other side of the phone. After a long silence, I said to my mother, "Mom, don't come to me if anything happens to Mark Mu and Eric Mu in the future."

"What did you say? Ashley Mu, are you trying to cut off the relationship between you and our family?" My mother was stunned at first, and then she shouted at me in a sharp voice.

I leaned on the bed tiredly and looked at the ceiling above me empty-eyed.

"I didn't mean that. It's just that they are all adults. No matter what they do, they must think of the consequences. I can't clean their mess again and again."

After that, I hung up the phone. I knew what my mother wanted to say, but I didn't want to talk anymore.

If I continued to compromise, Eric Mu and Mark would make more troubles. The next day, I didn't sleep well all day, and I was in a trance.

I went downstairs and unexpectedly found that Edward Xi was also in the villa. He sat at the dining table for breakfast. He took a glance at me and then looked away.

"Madam, your breakfast." A servant-like person put the breakfast on my table and then I came to my senses.

Had the family hired servants?

I should have been the one to prepare breakfast.

"Since you need to go to work, and... someone has to take care of the family." Edward seemed to have seen through my thoughts and explained.

I smiled bitterly, I thought that the reason why he hired a servant is that he was considerate of me. I didn't expect that he was afraid that if I divorced him, the family's work would on Betty's hands.

I lowered my head and quietly finished all the breakfast on the table. Then I said in a muffled voice, "I'm going to work."

"I'll drop you." Edward stood up and walked toward the door.

Pigs might fly?

What's wrong with him? We rarely had a meal together. But he took the initiative to drop me to the company.

Although it was unbelievable, I followed Edward and got in his car.

It was the third time I got in his car since we had married for so many years.

It was silent inside the car. I could hear each other's breathing. There was nothing but this.

It was extremely embarrassing.

We didn't look like a couple married for many years. We were more like strangers.

" Don't tell anyone that Betty Fang deliberately lost the child. I don't want anyone to hurt her." Edward suddenly said.

I was shocked. Even if he knew that Betty had killed her own baby, he still stands for her?

I turned my head and said coldly, "Don't worry. I will keep it a secret."

"Besides, the divorce agreement has already been approved. You can have a look later. If there is no problem you can tell grandpa." Edward said again.

His voice was calm as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

When I told him that everything was settled, he came very quickly. We went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get divorce certificates.

He stood in front of me, and there seemed to be some relief on his handsome face. He said, "I promised you that as long as we divorce, I can satisfy any of your conditions within my ability. Now, I can satisfy your requirements."

"No, you don't have to. When we got married, although you didn't want to, you didn't make any conditions. So, even if I don't want to divorce you, I won't make any conditions. Also, I will find a way to give the 10 million back to you." It's complicated, but I knew what I was talking about.

When Edward was with me, he had never been happy. He was willing to marry me because of his grandfather's request and the Xis' kindness.

I had restrained him for a long time. It's time to set him free.

"Ashley Mu..." Edward looked straight at me and suddenly called out my name. He was lost in thought and didn't understand what I was saying.

"Never see you again, Edward." I tried my best to smile and put the divorce certificate into my bag. This was the only thing he left me.

Leaving this sentence behind, I turned and left.

I touched my wet eyelids and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

After walking for a long time, I hid behind a tree and couldn't help looking back.

He was standing still.

But it wasn't long before Betty approached him.

I couldn't help but take out my phone and call Edward. When he picked up, I said before he could speak.

"Edward, in fact, I have a condition. You'll have to be on guard against Betty at all times." After that, I hung up the phone, pulled out my mobile phone card, and threw it into the garbage bin.
