After Divorce, She Married a Billionaire

The car turned back, and Eugene took me to my mother’s neighborhood. When I got off the car, I waved to him and said, “Just go back. Don’t worry about my affairs.”

Eugene looked at me in the car for a while and nodded indifferently, “I wasn’t worried at first.”

Then we parted ways.

During the ten or so seconds the elevator was going up, my mind was filled with the image of Dean acting at my parents’ house.

I really don’t know how long he will continue to act.

I rang the doorbell and my mother opened the door for me. The moment I entered the house, as expected, Dean was kneeling in the living room in front of my father, his posture was almost like he was asking for forgiveness.

I couldn’t stand his hypocrisy, so I took off my shoes, went into the house, picked up the shoe horn at the door, and walked behind Dean . I hit him hard on the back and shouted, “You’re asking for forgiveness? Do you think you’re a great hero? Dean , please stop pretending!”

When I finished saying these words, I planned to confess to my parents my determination to divorce. Since the old couple didn’t know about the conflict between Dean and me , I planned to sit down and explain it slowly.

But just when I was about to talk to my dad, he suddenly yelled at me, ” Candice ! What qualifications do you have to hit him! Get down on your knees!”

I was stunned, totally confused about my dad’s current situation, and my mom secretly pushed me from behind and whispered, “Do whatever your dad tells you to do!”

Okay, my father is in poor health and I can’t make him angry, so I’ll just kneel down.

I suppressed my pride and knelt on the ground obediently. But as soon as I knelt down, my father threw a pile of photos in front of me and shouted at me angrily: “Explain to me what’s going on!”

When I saw the photo, I swear, this was the most unfair thing I have ever experienced in my life.

I don’t know who took the photo, but the person in the photo is indeed me. I was photographed when I was drunk and acting crazy in front of a nightclub last night.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

In the photo, Jackson and I were hugging each other without any shame. We were like crazy, acting crazy and making a lot of noise.

Only then did I understand that Dean didn’t come here to apologize, but to beg for sympathy and throw dirty water on me!

I held back my anger, lowered my head and said nothing. My father swallowed hard, clenched his fist and said, “You are a girl, and you are pregnant! You didn’t go home in the middle of the night and went out to drink! What a disgrace you are! Now your husband has someone find me. He is a grown man, but he kneels here and begs me to persuade you to go home!”

The father pounded his chest in disappointment, ” Candice , your mother and I paid for your education and provided you with a good living condition. We spent so much effort on you, and this is what we teach you!”

Indeed, my parents have spent a lot of time on me since I was a child. I was rebellious and often fought when I was young, which led to teachers coming to our house every now and then. But now I think about it, it was because I knew I was an abandoned child, so I always had an excessive desire to protect myself and wrapped myself in a safe film.

When I was in school, if anyone bullied me and my brother, I would punch them without hesitation. The one I remember most clearly was when a gangster hit my brother in the face, and I knocked out three of his teeth.

From then on, my parents began to discipline me strictly. Many times, my mother sat at the head of my bed and cried, telling me not to cause trouble again.

I also know that I am an abandoned baby and should not bring trouble to my adoptive parents’ home.

So, from then on, I restrained myself more and more, I listened to my mother and believed that there were more kind people in this world than not, so I became the stupid guy who is at the mercy of others today.

Looking at the photos on the ground, I swallowed my anger and picked them up one by one. I held them tightly in my hands and said, “Dad, I won’t do it again. I was wrong about this.”

My father was so angry that he couldn’t speak, and his breathing gradually became heavy. My mother saw that my father was not in good condition, so she hurriedly helped him to the bedroom.

Dean and I were the only ones left in the living room. I turned my head and said firmly, “What did you say to my parents? What’s going on with this photo?”

Dean lowered his head silently, his voice very serious, “I didn’t say anything, just that you ran away from home and went to the nightclub to drink.”

I slapped the photo in my hand hard at him, ” Dean , who is the culprit between us? You cheated first, and then all this happened! You didn’t divorce me, and now you come to my parents to act, are you done yet?”

Dean lowered his head and said firmly, “If your parents knew you wanted a divorce, what do you think they would do? I advise you not to be impulsive.”

Yes, Dean knew that I didn’t want to cause my parents any trouble, so he dared to act so blatantly in front of my parents.

I laughed my ass off and said, “What’s your purpose in doing this? To prevent me from getting a divorce? Or do you have some other, more shameful idea?”

Dean continued to remain silent. At this time, my mother walked out of the bedroom alone, sat in front of us, and said, “Hurry up and get up, don’t kneel!”

Dean got up from the ground, and then pretended to help me up. I was disgusted by him touching me, so I shook his arm off and said, “Don’t touch me!”

When my mom saw us like this, she became nervous, ” Candice , what’s wrong with you two?”

I didn’t know how to explain it, because I didn’t intend to tell my parents that Dean cheated on me and hurt me. I was afraid that my parents wouldn’t be able to bear it. If they knew that I was getting a divorce after just two years of marriage, they would definitely not be able to accept it.

I already owe my parents too much, I can’t let them be sad because of my affairs anymore.

I guess Dean came here to act because he knew this about me.

I sat next to my mother and comforted her, “Mom, Dean and I are fine, don’t worry. It was my fault to go to the nightclub, wait until my dad calms down and talk to him for me! I’m going home now, don’t worry.”

After that, I pulled Dean ‘s arm and said calmly, “Let’s go home.”

Dean stood up with a heavy face, but was reluctant to leave. It seemed that he was addicted to acting!

I forced him to put on his shoes, but just as I was about to leave, my mom suddenly stood at the door and said, ” Dean , I’ll ask Candice’s dad to think carefully about the job you mentioned. You and Candice also need to get along well and stop having conflicts.”

Dean saluted my mother very respectfully and said, “Don’t worry, Mom. We will be fine.”

As soon as the door was closed, I couldn’t control the wild power in my body anymore. I grabbed Dean ‘s arm tightly, dragged him downstairs, and shouted, “What did you say to my dad again? What’s wrong with work? Dean , we’re getting divorced, why are you looking for my dad again?”

Dean looked at me calmly, “It’s nothing. I just want to change jobs. Your dad is so capable, he should be able to help me with it.”

I swung my hand to slap him in the face, but he was quick and stopped me in mid-air. Then, the usually gentle and amiable Dean in front of me suddenly changed his expression.

” Candice , do you feel wronged for marrying me? Do you think that because your family is rich and powerful, you can step on my head?” He sneered, “Yes, I got a lot from you, but so what? You did it voluntarily! What about you? Have you ever considered my self-esteem? Do you think I can’t get those with my own abilities? I tell you, if I can’t do it, Jacqueline wo n’t be willing to be with me!”

After he finished speaking, I couldn’t even describe how I felt when I was devastated. Perhaps it should be described as the earth breaking apart…

A man who has tried his best to squeeze my feelings, money, fame and fortune from me now tells me that I have not taken care of his self-esteem, and says that he can do it with his own strength.

This is probably the funniest joke I have ever heard since I was born.

I nodded speechlessly, “Yes, you are amazing, you have a strong self-esteem, and it is me who failed to take good care of you, so let’s get a divorce, you can take your self-esteem and your mistress and run away, oh yes, and your mother who always acts like a rogue, you two can go together, okay!”

Dean smiled and said, “I will not get a divorce. Don’t even think about it!”

After saying that, Dean left me alone there, got up, got in the car, and drove out of the community.

At this moment, I suddenly discovered that the window of the back seat of the car was open and Jacqueline ‘s head was sticking out. When we looked at each other, she was making dirty gestures at me.

I bent down, picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at her, but unfortunately, the car had disappeared.

After leaving the community, the sky was getting darker and darker. I walked down the night road, not knowing where I was going.

Every step is heavy, every step is difficult.

On both sides of the road, there were couples hugging each other one after another. I felt particularly cold and desolate as I passed among them.

I walked down aimlessly, passing through a very dark street. It was surprisingly quiet all around, but I didn’t feel a trace of fear. It was probably because my whole body was numb and I had no sense at all.

As I walked, I felt colder and colder, and suddenly, two car lights lit up behind me.

The car lights are so bright, making everything around me extremely clear.

I turned around and the car behind me honked at me twice. I stood still. After a while, the car slowly drove over.

When the car approached me, I realized that it was Eugene ‘s car.

He opened the car window, looked at me indifferently and said, “Are you planning to drive until dawn?”

I was speechless. I stood on the side of the road and looked at him quietly.

He looked at me for a while, and suddenly said, “If you don’t get in the car, I’ll leave. If you’re late for work tomorrow, don’t contact me again.”

When I heard this, I thought this was another way to fire me, so I reached out to open the car door, plopped in, and gestured to start, “Go, go, go! Don’t hesitate!”

When we drove back to The Johnson ‘s villa, Kim had already fallen asleep. In the living room, Jackson lay on the sofa watching TV. When he noticed we were back, he rubbed his sleepy eyes, stood up and asked, “Why are you back again?”

I shrugged. “I’ll stay here for another night.”

Jackson put his arm around my shoulders and said, “Okay, let’s sleep in the same room. My bed is bigger!”

I saw that he was going to act like a hooligan, so I reached out to pinch his ears, but before I could touch his ears, Eugene grabbed Jackson aside and warned him, ” Kim calls her mom, and you’re sleeping with her?”

Jackson scratched his head, “So… you slept with her?”

Jackson in the chest with my fist , “What the hell is going on!”
