Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 116

“How do you know he doesn’t want to come with me?”

Shane White gives an interested glance towards Edward Smith on the opposite side of the table, smirks, then asks leisurely, “Let me ask you, do you want to go, ” in the middle of his question, he darts a look of unspoken disdain towards the woman beside him, then continues asking, “go with her?”

Edward Smith opens his drunken and hazy eyes, stares at the woman for a long time.

Just as she is about to say something, Edward Smith coldly spits out a phrase, “Go away!”

Joanna Hale’s face is red and white for a while, she notices the mockery in Shane White’s eyes, clenches her teeth, alright! Edward Smith, you've insulted me repeatedly, don't blame me for being merciless!

----

The children have been missing for three days.

In these three days, Edward Smith almost searched the whole city, but still nothing.

It’s not just the disappearance of the two lovely kids that disturbs Edward Smith, but also how to explain to Alice. What makes him even more panic is that SA Group's foreign trade has problems at the customs, saying that the products are substandard, therefore detained for inspection.

The inspection can be quick, but a month or even more is also possible if the customs intentionally make it difficult.

The delivery date for this batch of products is coming soon. Once it is overdue, the loss will be very great.

Allen Ginsberg is extremely anxious. Their company ships products all the time, but this kind of problem never occurs, and no one has ever dared to embarrass the Smith Family.

But now…he’s afraid that his own boss may have provoked the most powerful person in the city.

But Allen Ginsberg doesn’t dare to talk about this, he can only find someone to facilitate the relationship, hoping the customs will finish the inspection as soon as possible.

However, the day comes eventually.

While Edward Smith is taking care of business at SA Group, Alice Roberts takes an Uber to the villa to visit the two lovely kids.

May opens the door and stuns when she sees her.

“May.” Alice smiles.

“Ms, Ms. Roberts, why, why are you here?” May panics as young master had instructed, Ms. Roberts must not know what happened to the children. But now Ms. Roberts is here, how will she be able to hide it.

“Edward is not at home, right?”

“Young, young master is not at home”

Alice is relieved and is about to walk in, but May does not move out of the way, Alice is confused, “May?”

“Ms. Roberts, how about you come another day?”

It’s now Alice’s turn to be stunned, seeing that May is reluctant to let her in, confusingly asks, “Is someone inside?”

This question really troubles May, she is racking her brain on how to hide it when a sarcastic voice sounds from behind, “May, if she wants to come in, just let her in!”

Alice is startled to see an elegant woman standing out from the house, looking at her with condescending eyes, arrogant and contemptuous.

It is Edward’s mother – Janet Louis.

“Come on in.”

It is rare that Janet Louis is willing to let her into the villa. Alice is suspicious, but her strong desire to see her children makes her choose to go inside, she doesn’t even notice the anxious look on May’s face who is following behind.

Alice eyes glances towards the second floor as she is heading towards the living room, are the kids still sleeping at this hour?

Why is it so quiet?

“I didn’t think you have the guts to come here again!” Janet snorts coldly and says disdainfully.

Alice bites her lips, if it isn’t for the two lovely kids, she will not want to set foot in this place again, after all, she had already decided not to meet with Edward anymore. Since the relationship is fruitless, she simply does not want to start it.

She comes here today because she has decided to leave with her two lovely kids.

Her original idea is to disappear quietly when Edward is not around, but she didn’t expect…Janet Louis is actually here.

“I’ll leave immediately.”

“Leave? Alice, do you think I’ll let you go so easily if I see u?” Janet sneers.

“Then what do you want?”

Janet gets up, walks over to Alice and raises her hand, ready to slap her.

But this time, Alice catches her hand in mid-air and shrugs it off, stares at her with her determined eyes, clearly says, “Do you think I’ll let you hit me again? In my eyes, you’re nothing but Edward’s mother!”

Hearing this, in addition to the failed attempt to hit her, makes Janet so furious that she cannot say a word.

She angrily stares at Alice, but thinks of something, then she smiles.

This smile strangely causes Alice to feel nervous, an uneasy feeling starts to spread, just as she is about to say something, she sees Janet sits back down on the sofa, and after she instructs May to make tea, she looks at Alice deliberately, “You are here for the children, right.”

As soon as Alice hears this, she becomes anxious, she only thinks about the children but forgets that Janet is here, if she sees the children, she will…

“What are you going to do?”

Alice’s wary look makes Janet can’t help but laughs, but immediately shows a serious face after laughing, speaks in a cold tone, “What happened five years ago, it seems like you’ve forgotten, haven’t you?”

Five years ago …

Alice remembers that gory scene, she can’t help but shivers, no one knows Janet Louis’s and Joanna Hale’s cruel methods better than her.

Seeing the look of fear from Alice, Janet is very satisfied that she is scared.

“I’ve told you before, leave Edward and never approach him again.”

“I did not”

“If not, he’ll break off the engagement with Joanna because of you? If not, he’ll rush back to bring you out of jail, leaving Jacquiline who is being treated in America? If it is not because of you, why is the Hale family against his company? It’s all because of you, you are the nemesis of the Smith family!” Janet becomes more and more agitated as she speaks, pointing at Alice, hoping this woman will disappear forever.

Against? Hale family…

Alice seems to understand something, she looks at Janet and asks her, “What happened to Edward? What happened to the company?”

“Stop pretending, if it wasn’t for you, will the Hale family be against him? You did something like that and still act innocent, only Edward believes you. I’m telling you, a woman like you, three years is not enough, you should stay in jail for the rest of your life!”

“It wasn’t me who drove into Jacquiline, it wasn’t me!”

Janet looks at Alice as if she has just heard the biggest joke of her life, “Do you think I’ll believe you?”

Upon hearing that, Alice bites her lips strongly, yes, how can Janet believe her, but … Edward believes in her.

Even with all the evidence in front of him, he is still determined to believe in her.

This kind of trust moves her and makes her linger even more.

What right does she have to make him believe in her?

After a long while, Alice muffles out a sentence in a dry voice, “I’ll take the children and leave, I won’t bother him anymore.”
