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 271: Almost

"Mr. Leaford, this call..."

"It's from Zoey." James Leaford managed to choke out a few words.

Zoey calling him at this moment surely meant that she wanted to persuade him to change his mind. If Mr. Jenkins hadn't intervened, he might have rejected the thought of unifying with the Jenkins family after calming down. But now that Mr. Jenkins had stepped in so decisively, he no longer had a reason to refuse.

He could not pick up this call from Zoey, and he dared not.

As a grown man, the father of two daughters, he had never felt so impotent.

Thinking of his daughter going to marry that fool, James Leaford could no longer hold his tears back and burst into tears in public.

Looking at James Leaford, who was no longer able to maintain his dignity and was weeping inconsolably, all the shareholders in the room averted their eyes in silence. Those with strong empathy also had their eyes reddening in secret.
