How My Ex Became My Next

Lanny had no choice but to make a few more calls. But none of them were answered.

When Jaylon tried again, Jensen took the phone directly from Jaylon’s hand with a sullen face.

“Stop calling me again, Lanny. Tell Jensen that he has no chance to attend this expo,” Gilda said impatiently.

There was a dead silence.

After a while, Jensen said in a low voice, “It’s me.”

Hearing his voice, Gilda was stunned.

Jensen ignored what Gilda said just now and continued, “If we increase the funding from 60 million dollars to 100 million dollars, is it qualified enough to participate in this expo?”

At this moment, Gilda was sitting in Braydon’s sports car. “Jensen, what’s the point of doing this?”

A few minutes ago, Braydon insisted on taking Gilda to the night market in Geleston for a walk for fear that Gilda would feel weary after working for so long. Gilda tried to refuse it but failed. She got into Braydon’s car later.

“If it is not enough, then 200 million dollars. If it still doesn’t work, I will report to the Global Chamber of Commerce and let them make a decision. Your group is not the only organizer.”

“You…” Gilda didn’t know how to retort. Braydon got impatient. He grabbed the phone directly from Gilda’s hand.

“You’re so thick–skinned. You have divorced Gilly, but you are still pestering her. What do you want? Do you want to remarry her? I’m telling you it is impossible! She’s mine! By the way, I’m taking her to a hotel! We booked a room there.”

After that, Braydon hung up the phone directly and threw the phone aside. Gilda was shocked by what Braydon said just now.

Gilda muttered, “We booked a room?”

“You don’t understand that, do you? Believe it or not. It would piss that guy off,” replied Braydon.

Gilda was lost for words.

Jensen’s face turned livid after he found that the phone was hung up.

Lanny didn’t know what happened, so he muttered, “She offered to resign herself. Why does she suddenly target our company? She is the chief assistant of a multinational company’s CEO now. I heard it is hard to get a job there. How did she make it?”

The same question hovered in Jensen’s mind, making him upset.

“Book two air tickets to Geleston now,” Jensen said coldly. “And if I remember correctly, the chairman of the Global Chamber of Commerce came from the Miller family?”

“Yes, Mr. Harrington. Not long ago, Mr. Carl Miller was reelected.”

“Well, tell Dillan. I’ll see him in eight hours.”

Dillan Miller was Carl’s only son and the eldest of the same generation of the Miller family, which was one of the top four overseas families. He was a playboy. Every time he went out, he would be accompanied by beautiful women.

He was also one of Jensen’s few friends.

Because Dillan lived abroad for a long time, Dillan and Jensen would only contact each other occasionally.

Before leaving for Geleston, Jensen returned to the Harrington residence first. He needed to bring some luggage.

But as soon as Jensen entered the hallway, he saw someone from the decoration company coming out of the elevator.

“Jensen, you…”

Jensen frowned as a sense of foreboding occurred to him. Before the two figures on the sofa stood up to greet him, Jensen strode into the elevator and went directly to the master bedroom on the third floor.

Everything in the bedroom was brand new, from curtains to sheets, and even the wardrobe. They were all replaced as long as they were once used by Gilda.

“Who did it?” Jensen glanced around.

The maid who was cleaning on the third floor stammered with fear, “I–It was Ms. Donovan…”

Jensen’s face darkened.

When he was about to lose his temper, Madeleine shuffled over like a pregnant woman would do and called out, “Jensen!”

Madeleine went on, “I’ve already known about what happened between you and Ms. Lynch. Now that you have divorced, everything in the family should be replaced. What do you think? You won’t blame me for making the decision myself, will you?”

Jensen didn’t reply. Instead, he glanced at Carol who was standing beside Madeleine.

Carol immediately said that it had nothing to do with her. “Gilda left a ring and Madeleine happened to see the ring in the room, so I told her everything!”

There was a trace of dissatisfaction in Carol’s tone.

Because of that ring, Carol was “occasionally” pestered by Madeleine for a whole day. “In my opinion, Gilda did it on purpose! She just wants to cause trouble for our family!”

“What ring?” Jensen asked with a frown,

Jensen lived in that bedroom but didn’t even notice the ring at all. He wondered why Madeleine could findExclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
