Chapter 1336 Let’s Divorce
Ace stood still for a while, and it took him a long time to realize that Jade was genuinely
angry. He quickly leaned over and tried to coax her, saying, "Didn't I realize my mistake
and change? It's been so long since that incident. Why do you have to bring up the past?"
Jade simply allowed a cold chuckle to fall from her lips before replying, "Do you really think
I know nothing? Who lives in Unit 802, Building A in Park Windsor? The college girl from
Merton Royale is still studying, isn't she? The seven hundred thousand you took from the
account a few days ago was the breakup fee for Dana Simpton, am I right?"
Ace's face turned pale in an instant, and his eyes were filled with shock as he stared at
Jade in disbelief, stammering, "H-How do you know about it?"
Jade's lips deepened into a mocking smile. "Ace, did you really think you could fool me so
easily? Did you think you could appease me with a few sweet words after hurting me? I
was worried that it would make Nathan worry and bring shame to him if we made a scene,
so I didn't bother to argue with you. I've tried my best to portray you as a good father in
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfront of him and tried to maintain a united front with you, but you truly have no shame! I
could let it slide when you exaggerated the situation by claiming that the company would
face a financial crisis without a merger with the Snow Group and arranged for me to talk
to Halma. Yet, you dared to conspire with the Snow Group to manipulate your own son! Do
you even have a shred of humanity left in that shriveled black heart of yours? I used to
think that our son was still young and naive. I have to admit, I miscalculated and didn't
expect him to see through everything. He definitely has a far better handle on his faculties
than I did. His evaluation of you is fair and accurate and he was more than right when he
said that since you have never once fulfilled your responsibilities as a father, then you
should keep your hands off his life in the future!"
Ace looked at Jade in astonishment; it was as though he didn't recognize the person before
him. This person was cold and unfeeling, which was completely unlike his docile wife.
She wasn't angry nor did she cry or make a fuss. If it weren't for the clear disdain in her
gaze, something he had never once seen on her person, she looked exactly like his wife.
Only now did he realize that he hadn't seen the infatuation she used to have for him in her
eyes for a long, long time.
This gaze represented calmness, unfamiliarity, and even a sense of emotional
detachment.
Suddenly, he felt the hairs on the back of his neck raise one after another as an
inexplicable sense of fear and unease welled up inside him.
He anxiously pleaded, blabbering, "Sweetheart, I was wrong. Please forgive me one more
time. This time, I promise to get rid of them all and wholeheartedly live my life with you..."
Jade's eyes remained impassive. "Can a dog change its nature? Ace, I've always thought
that as our son grew older, I needed to pay attention to certain influences in order to keep
our family united. So, I turned a blind eye to your actions as long as they weren't too
excessive. I was willing to endure such humiliation for the sake of our child. Today… Well, I
realized that I have been foolish and shortsighted. It was my indulgence that allowed you
to take advantage of the situation. Let's get a divorce. If Nathan can utter such words
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtoday, I believe he can understand the decision I'm making."
Her words struck the fear of God within Ace as he started begging. "No. I don't want a
divorce, Jade. I know I was wrong. Give me another chance."
She remained unmoved by his false reassurances and calmly replied, "Stop making
promises to me. Your promises are as useless as an old man's fart. Let's separate amicably
for the sake of our son. Don't blow things out of proportion. If you don't, I'll promise that I
won't sue you and you'll get your fair share. From now on, you can have as many
mistresses as you want and have as many children as you desire. All those things are
finally none of my business."
Ace hastily grabbed her hand and implored, "No. Jade, don't be so ruthless. I won't have
any mistresses after this. Can't we continue living our lives together as a family?"
Jade mercilessly withdrew her hand, and her eyes became piercing as she stared into his
very soul. "Ace, you shouldn't dawdle and force my hand. You won't get anything the
moment I decide to follow through with my threat."
