The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce

She had always been obedient and docile in their three years of hidden marriage, watching as he surrounded himself with women and was mired with endless scandals. On the day the subject of his unrequited love returned to the country, she quietly handed him a divorce agreement. “What, you have someone you like?” he asked coldly. She smiled nonchalantly. “Yes. You may not acknowledge me as your wife, but someone will acknowledge me as their lover.” Later, as the Thompson family acknowledged their connection, she became a rich daughter who was out of his reach. As men flocked around her, Michael Gallagher realized that in those three years, she had planted the seeds of love that had now grown into a towering tree, binding him for life.

Chapter 258: Nowhere to Turn

"Elizabeth Aitken!"

Jake Leaford's urgent voice rang out.

Elizabeth stopped in her tracks, and Jake quickly walked up and grabbed her hand, his eyes firm: "I've cut ties with my family, and now I'm just an ordinary person, not the Leaford family's young master, and I have no family business to inherit. Would you...give me another chance?"

Cut ties?

Elizabeth stared at him blankly.

As if afraid she wouldn't believe him, Jake showed her the messages between him and his family on his cell phone: "Look, I've even returned my credit and bank cards to them. Now I'm just like you, an ordinary worker. We can be a pair of ordinary lovers, not affected by family relationships."

She never thought he would actually cut ties with his family, and Elizabeth was shocked.

"But what about your arranged marriage with someone else... Will your family let you off the hook?"
