Ex-husband Goes Money Comes by Yvone Zabielski novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99 Surprise

Breenda’s fingers turned pale as she cripped the sheets very liard.

Even though she was scared of not getting the answer she wanted, there was still a hint of anticipation within her.

But this time, Bentley did not say anything Instead, he released her hand coldly and pushed the door open without a backward glance.

Audrey and Viola, who were chatting on the sofa outside, were shocked at the sight of Bentley’s terrifying expression.

Audrey hurried to ask, “Mr. Bentley, what’s … the matter?”

Bentley ignored her and looked at Viola. “You knew that she was pretending”

Was Bentley … really angry?

This was the first time Viola saw Bentley like this.

She blinked her eyes guiltily.”…”

Bentley didn’t want to hear her explain. Instead, he strode downstairs and left.

Viola wanted to catch up, but Audrey pulled her back to Breenda’s ward.

Breenda’s eyes were red. It seemed like she had just cried and was in a vile mood.

Audrey pounced on her with a pained expression. “My dear daughter, I have warned you. Bentley is cold by temperament, and he will not like you. But you insisted on confessing your love. See! Now you are hurt!”

Breenda bit her lip and remained silent.

Audrey knew that Breenda had always been stubborn and nothing could stop Breenda once she had made a decision. Therefore, Audrey turned around to beg Viola.

“Viola, help Breenda for the sake of our friendship. Since you could ask Mr. Bentley to come to Washington, you must know how to keep him here as well!”

Viola shook her head with a serious expression. “I can’t. He is a principled man. No one can make him change his

mind, not even me.”

Viola knew it sounded ruthless to Breenda, but she had to say it plainly like this.

That way, Breenda could give in sooner. Now, Breenda was on her own to think it through.

Audrey sighed in disappointment.

Then Viola turned around, wanting to leave since she was of no help here anyway.

“Viola!”

Breenda stopped her and asked uncertainly, “Will you be my love rival?”

Audrey was numb with shock. She could still vividly recall how Anaya ended up,

Viola stood in silence for a few seconds.

But without further explanation, she turned around and left.

Russell was waiting for her in his car outside the Callis vill…

She walked strailit over, opened the door, and sat in the back row.

Noticing that Viola looked solemn, Russell rubbed her head rently,

“Wut happened? Who irritated iny little princess?”

Viola look

discourard. “It was I who irritated someone, and by someone, I mean Bentley.”

Russell laughed. “Silly girl, you didn’t do anything wrong in tliis. Bentley has been engrossed with medical research all these years and stayed away from all women. Dad has been scolding him for this. It seems that only your words work miracles for liet.”

**But he is angry…”

Russell shook his head. “You don’t understand him. Despite looking cold, he is actually shy. Anyway, you don’t have to worry about this. If he and Breenda are meant to be together, they will eventually.”

Viola breathed a sigh of relief.

But something seemed to have flitted through Russell’s mind. His expression became serious.

“Viola, there is something that I need to tell you… It’s been on my mind for quite a while…”

Noticing that Russell turned serious, Viola looked solemn as well.

“It’s about … your ex-husband.”

Viola thought, Orlando?

Hasn’t the guy gone missing? I’ve sent the Dark Bell to track him down, which turned out to be a vain attempt. What! krow is that Orlando disappeared all of a sudden the day before the press conference

“You’ve found him?” Viola asked suspiciously.

Russell nodded.

“Bobby has found him, who is somewhere in the mountains between Washington and Philadelphia now.”

Viola thought, right, Bobby is well-connected to both the underworld and the police. That makes hin more informed than the Dark Bell. It is actually not surprising that he managed to find him!

Eut..

“What did he go there for?”

Russell remained silent. It seemed like he found it somewhat difficult to say it.

Viola then started to connect all the dots with all the things that happened during that period and clues that she knew.

After thinking it through, she shook her head in amusement.

“”He can’t be there to find my “corpse, thinking that I have died, right? Ile doesn’t want to let me off even if I have

Pussell choked and changed the topic right away.”ile has been staying there because he was trapped in the mountains. But presumably, he should be backio Washington in a week at most.”

Viola’s expression froze a bit.

She thought, weck? ar means daylın is pressed for time now. Il aylın fails to make things happen fast, once Orlando gets back, Ir would be difficult for lydi to bankrupt the G rey Group

Russell noticed her anxiety.

“Then what are your plans next?”

Viola looked up at him and smiled, “That’s great. I will give him a big ‘surprise’ on the day he returns!”

Looking at Viola’s burning eyes, Russell lowered his lead guiltily.

in lact, there were two other things that he didn’t tell Viola.

The ones who trapped Orlando were Bobby’s people. Bobby had long disliked Orlando and thus he took the opportunity to teach him a lesson this time.

Also, Orlando went there to find her without bad intentions. He was there to save her.

11 Viola had investigated it more carefully, she would have found out that Lawson hijacking the plane had nothing to do with Orlando

But Viola chose to believe that Orlando had betrayed her. That was why she didn’t go deeper into the investigation.

Russell opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But he failed to do it.

Russell thought, even though Orlando was right this time, that doesn’t justily what he did to Viola in the past three

years.

He has let her down, and it is time to pay the cost!

And since Viola knew that Orlando was about to return, she, high-spirited, arranged for Lucille to feign as the major shareholder of Alin Real Estate Co., Ltd. the next day.

Despite having bought the land in the western suburbs, they still needed to discuss some follow-up projects with the Seavey Construction Company.

“Bring the Caffrey family’s mole to dinner tonight. And make sure he can get our plans in private.”

Lucille, who was over the phone, sounded surprised. “Viola, if he manages to tell Jaylin about our plans, Jaylin will obstruct our cooperation with the Seavey Construction Company.”

Viola puckered her lips and smiled, “I wonder if they are capable of doing that.”

“What?”

Lucille could not tell what Viola was doing. Therefore, she had to obey obediently.

That night, Jaylin came to the Caffrey place in high spirits.

She was there to take credit from Whitney

“Whitney, I managed to get the cooperation plans between Alin Real Estate Co., Ltd. and Seavey Construction Company”

“Really?” Whitney asked in surprise,

carefully. “Great! With the plans, things

She took over the documents in Jaylin’s hands instantly and looked at the will be inuch easier for us.”

Jaylin succesfed from the side, “Since we already know the price that Alin Real Estate Co., Ltd. offers to Seavey

Construction Company, we just need to multiply the price so as to poach the contract with Seavey Construction

Company

“Alin Real Estate Co., Ltd. is a small company in the first place, which means they won’t have enough working capital. After they make the advance payment as we poach the contract, they will lack money to work with other construction companies for building materials. That will make them give up the land in the suburbs of the city eventually.”

Whitney smiled from carlo car, “Great! I will leave it to you then. No matter how much it will cost, the Caffrey Group can afford in!”

Jaylin nodded.

Whitney patted Jaylin’s shoulder and looked at her solemnly. “Jaylin, I trust you a lot. Don’t disappoint me!”
