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 22: Bring Her to Me

Editor: Henyee Translations

He had finally been persuaded!

Any lingering heartache Isabelle Richardson felt for him vanished, replaced by pure joy.

But Lana Lewis found Michael's response far from satisfying.

"Xavier, you're already engaged to Isabelle, and the marriage is set. What do you mean by 'still considering'?"

Isabelle dared not speak.

She realized that Lana had once again mistaken Michael for Xavier.

Afraid that Michael might get angry and change his mind, Isabelle quickly stepped in, gently pulling Lana aside. "Ms. Lewis, Michael—I mean, Xavier—just narrowly escaped death. Let's give him some time to rest. The wedding can wait."

Her voice faltered noticeably when she said " Xavier," her whole demeanor stiff and unnatural.

She couldn't bring herself to meet Michael's gaze.

"Ms. Lewis, why don't I take you back to your hospital room first? I need to talk to 'brother Xavier' privately."

Having achieved her goal, Isabelle was anxious to get Lana away before she said anything else.
