Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 82

September was stunned and said with a pale face, "That b*tch Rose actually encouraged my parents to divorce each other, but my father... Ever since I took the shares of the Jenkins family, he was estranged from me. He actually thought I wanted to bring him down and he literally started considering divorcing my mom! Ridiculous! Rose wanted to mess up my family and only then would she be satisfied!"

"So you went to her all by yourself?" I blamed her and said, "Why didn't you take Bob with you?"

"At that time, my mind was blank. I only wanted to go to that b*tch and slap the s*it out of her!" September threw the apple core into the trash can and fiercely said, "I didn't expect that she would dare to find someone to beat me! When Zack returns to the police station, we'll work together to deal with her!"

"How?" I asked.

"Rose has done a lot of things behind in the dark. We'll just find an excuse to lock her up in the police station first!" September said indifferently, "I'm gonna make her beg us to kill her!"

Amused, I asked, "Do you really think the police are gonna let you do what you wanna do?"

September shrugged and said with a smile, "That's why I'm waiting for Zack to come back!"

"That still doesn't make you able to do anything you wanna do!" I reached out and tidied up the quilt for her. Then I got up and said, "I'll go and check on Ellis."

September waved her hand and said, "Okay, go ahead."

I walked out of the ward and was stunned. Then I turned to close the door and asked softly, "When did you come? Did you hear what she said?"

"Yes." I walked to his side and he reached out to hold my hand and said helplessly, "Em, I will divorce her."

Joel finally gathered the courage to divorce. Between September and Rose, he chose September, even though it was already too late!

I reminded him, "Rose won't agree. She's put in too much effort to just give up your marriage simple because you said so."

"If I want to divorce, no one can stop me." At this time, the tone of Joel was full of the decisiveness like Zack described!

He suddenly said sadly, "I just don't know how to make her forgive me. September, she... Em, please help me."

"I can't interfere in your affairs. You are gonna put me into a dilemma by doing this. Also, I don't think September would..." I paused and changed my words. "She's probably gonna just give you the child."

"What? How come?"Joel was stunned and said, "She didn't even wanna keep the child and how could she give the child to me?"

I fell silent. I didn't know what to say. Joel clenched my hand and asked nervously, "Em, what should I do?"

It didn't sound like the words coming out of such a cold man. I thought for a while and said, "September intends to take revenge on Rose, so... what you can do is to stay out of it! She has already thought that you've been partial to Rose, you can't make it worse."

"I know these." Joel tilted his head and looked at the ward. He looked sad but dared not go in.

When we arrived at the elevator, Joel said suddenly, "You are I are the only children of the Shears family. Grandpa wants you to quit your job at the police station and come back to work for the Group."

"I don't even know the business of the company. I'm only suitable for the police station." I smiled and said, "I know that you can handle the business well enough on your own."

"You have had five years' experience in the company. I believe that you can do an equally good job if you come back now." Joel paused and said in a low voice, "We've got ourselves in too many industries now and I have not been able to handle all of them by myself. Plus, Grandpa wants you back for your own sake."

I used to work in the same company as Charlotte, and I also climbed up step by step with my own ability, but in the end, I lost everything I ever gained!

When I left the company, my colleagues were still talking about me behind my back, making fun of me as if I were a desert being served after lunch.

Thinking of the past, all the bitter memories came flushing back into my mind.

I looked at Joel with a little shock in my heart. Zack said that he was a business genius. Would a business genius also have a hard time in his career? Was Joel tired, or was he just mentally tired?

Zack once said that the Shears family was involved in a much bigger game than the Dunn family, Heaney family, and the Solange family were involved. And now I realized that the game was in the hands of Joel alone.

Joel had indeed been exhausted in the past two years!

When he saw that I was silent, he leaned to one side and held me in his arms. He said in a warm voice, "Em, I know everything you have experienced. So does grandpa and that's why he's been scheming for you!"

Scheming? On what? The three other families?

"Scheming on what?" I asked nervously.

Joel said in a mysterious tone, "You will know when you come back to us."

I vaguely guessed something, but I was a little confused about what exactly it was. What did Joel and the others want to do?

I was about to ask more, but the elevator door opened at this moment. A cold voice said, "What? Got another little lover?"

Benjamin's face was cold, and at the bottom of his eyes was surging anger and uncontrollable coldness.

Joel released me and said in a low voice, "Take good care of her, Em."

After he left, Benjamin asked me coldly, "Why is September's man so close to you?"

"I knew him when I was sixteen when September was pursuing him... Now that we have been good friends for nine years, I couldn't just severe our contact because of what happened between him and September."

I lowered my head and thought for a moment. Then I said, "It's wrong for me to help anyone. September has already given up on him, but he can't bear to let go."

Benjamin asked coldly, "Why was he holding you?"

I tried to test him several times, but he ignored me every time. Why did Benjamin choose to hide it from me?

In the afternoon, Zack called me. He asked me, "Bob told me that you were here. Do you want to go back with me?"

In my heart, I didn't want him to meet Benjamin, especially when the two of them had to be locked in a closed environment like a plane.

So I lied and said, "Ellis wants to stay here tonight. Tomorrow we'll take a morning plane back." "Well, then I will go back tomorrow." Zack said softly, "Tomorrow is the last handover, and I will stay in City B from now on."

Suddenly, I felt very heavy in my heart. "Zack, I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble and made you go back and forth between here and City B."

Zack's kindness to me made me feel warm and scared at the same time. I had no reason to enjoy his kindness infinitely, but he seemed to be living only for me. This gradually made me feel afraid.

Zack liked me, but I couldn't give him back anything for his fondness. That being the case, I should've told him about it honestly instead of letting him warming me and watching out for me all the time.

That night, Benjamin slept with Ellis in the other room while I stayed up all night restlessly.

After returning to City B, I began to look for a place to live, and until the afternoon, there was no suitable one. Finally... I drummed up my courage to call Joel, and he asked the assistant to give me a key.

Holding this key, I felt uneasy in my heart. This was the first time I had asked Joel for help, and the first time I had used the power of the Shears family.

Bob complained while helping me move. "Why are you so stubborn and have to move out? Is there anything wrong with Zack's house?"

Zack only had one bedroom. I couldn't always occupy his room... Besides, I knew that I should leave.

I shouldn't bother him all the time.

As soon as I moved my luggage to the new apartment, Zack returned to City B. Instead of asking me why, he cleaned up the apartment for me.

With Zack there, Bob simply left after saying, "September insisted on leaving the hospital. I'll go and see her."

After Bob left, Zack and I were alone in the room, which made me feel awkward. When he was about to leave, he suddenly asked me, "Are you afraid?"

"Hm? What?" I had a dumb look on my face.

"Em, you are afraid of me," Zack asked.

Touche!

"Why would I be afraid of you?" I asked, trying my best to cover up my panic.
