Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
“What are you talking about?” He didn’t understand why Luis suddenly talked about Audrey.
As far as he could remember, he let the driver take her home. She was supposed to be resting now.
Luis explained, “I’m at Temple Bar. Your wife is here, too.”
Cornell’s beautiful, deep-set eyes darkened at once. He said coldly, “Keep an eye on her, and don’t let others approach her. Otherwise, I’ll shut that bar down.”
Luis hissed.
“Really? Do you have the heart to shut down your friend’s side business? Are you that cruel? I think you’re going a bit too far.”
Cornell didn’t say anything more. He hung up the phone, bent down, and picked up Cecilia.
Cecilia still looked pitiful on the surface. But deep inside her, she was celebrating her triumph. She had exerted so much effort in her acting. She didn’t believe Cornell’s heart wouldn’t be moved by her miserable appearance.
In the end, he still came and held her up willingly.
Cecilia and Cornell had been getting along for many years. So Cecilia didn’t believe that Cornell had no affection for her. She assumed he must have developed some feelings for her. It was just that he didn’t realize it yet. That was why she would do her best to help him recognize her importance in his heart.
Cecilia wrapped her slender arms around Cornell’s neck and looked at him affectionately with teary eyes, thinking they would finally have an intimate moment this time. But to her dismay, he only put her down on the bed.
Then, he turned to Jocelyn and said coldly, “If you can’t take care of Miss Murray, you can retire and rest at home now. I’ll find someone capable.”
There was a hint of instruction and warning in his words.
Jocelyn’s heart skipped a beat.
She had been taking care of Cecilia all her life. Although she was just a nanny, she treated Cecilia as her own daughter since Cecilia was born. Cornell was very well aware of this, too. That was why Cornell always treated her with respect.
It was the first time that he had said such unkind words to her.
Jocelyn was shocked for a moment, but she quickly recovered. She replied in a low voice, “Don’t worry, Mr. Clement.”
After hearing this, Cornell turned around and left. Cecilia’s eyes widened upon seeing this.
She was about to get off the bed to follow him when Jocelyn suddenly held her arm.
Jocelyn looked at her, shook her head, and reminded, “Miss Murray, don’t wear out Mr. Clement’s affection for you.”
Cecilia realized that Jocelyn made sense. She had no choice but to collapse on the bed. But tears kept streaming down her face uncontroLlably.
She looked up at Jocelyn and said between sobs, “Jocelyn, I’m scared.
What if Cornell abandons me? What should I do?”
Jocelyn patted Cecilia on the back and said comfortingly, “Miss Murray, Mr. Clement didn’t say he wouldn’t divorce Audrey. He just can’t divorce her for the time being because of Kyler. But don’t worry. We have many ways to make them divorce as soon as possible. The most important thing now is to stay calm and be patient. Relax. Mr. Clement’s affection for you is your leverage.”
Jocelyn’s words reignited the extinguished fire in Cecilia’s eyes.
Cecilia realized Jocelyn’s words made sense. Cornell just couldn’t divorce Audrey for the time being because of Kyler. If it weren’t for Kyler, Cornell and Audrey would have divorced long ago.
Her biggest concern now was the baby in Audrey’s belly. Audrey could use it to get a hold of Cornell. So, that baby must disappear.
After thinking for a while, Cecilia sat up straight, slowly wiped the tears off her face, and returned to being a gentle and generous lady.
She took her phone and opened a document that contained the details of Audrey’s schedule.
According to Audrey’s schedule, she was in a bar right now.
Cecilia remembered Cornell’s phone conversation just now. A trace of gloom flashed through her eyes. Cornell must have gone to find that bitch Audrey.
Cecilia looked at Jocelyn and said, “Tell Tessa that I agree with her investment plan. And I want to see her.”
Jocelyn nodded.
“ALL right. I’ll make arrangements.”
With a plan in mind, Cecilia lay down leisurely on the bed and looked at the ceiling with eyes full of malice.
She had to make sure that Audrey and her child died together. Only in this way could she have Cornell without any obstacles.
Audrey and Nicole were still in Temple Bar at the moment.
Audrey wore a light beige cardigan paired with an ankle-length skirt.
The style of her outfit was very incompatible with the ambiance of the bar.
But the more she looked different from the others, the more attractive she became. She was like a little white rabbit that had fallen into a wolf’s den, tempting every wolf to take a bite.
At this moment, Nicole was already a little drunk. She could no longer remember how many advances she had rejected.
She giggled, winked at Audrey, and said, “Audrey, you are something!
I think those women who are here to pick up men will go home in tears tonight. After all, those men have their eyes only on you.”
When Nicole saw a man approaching, she gave Audrey a nudge, raised two fingers, and balled her fist. She meant twenty. The man coming was the twentieth person who had approached them tonight.
Audrey definitely broke the record!
Nicole frequently went to bars to have fun. Based on her experience, the highest number of men who approached her were only a dozen or so.
Tonight, Audrey broke her record effortlessly.
“Hi, ladies! Can I join you?” The man who approached them wore a shiny jacket and a Lewd expression.
“Oh, sorry. We’re with someone.” Of course, Nicole immediately refused.
Was this man joking? Why would they share a table with a stranger?
However, the man seemed impervious to rejections. He said, “You’re lying. I’ve been observing you from afar since you came in. You are not with someone.”
Nicole found the man annoying. She lost her temper at once.
“So what if we are not with someone? We don’t welcome strangers to join our booth. We paid for this booth, after all. Go find your own table.”
But the man ignored Nicole. His target was Audrey. He smiled obscenely and said to her, “Hey, little beauty. Can I be your boyfriend?”
Audrey frowned and said coldly, “Please leave. Otherwise, I’ll call the security guards.”
“Qh, really? Go ahead. Call them.” The corners of the man’s mouth curved into a wicked smile.
“I love to hear women screaming the most, especially someone young and delicate like you. It must be particularly pleasing to the ear.”
After saying this, the jacket man moved even closer to Audrey and continued, “Come on, be a good girl, okay? We’ll have fun.”
Suddenly, there was a loud bang.
Glass fragments flew all over after the wine bottle was smashed on the man’s head.
Nicole still held the remaining half of the bottle with her trembling hand. She pointed at the man and shouted angrily, “Stay away from her!”
Blood oozed out of the man’s head and streamed down his face. He covered his head and pointed at Nicole. He cursed angrily, “You bitch!
Look at yourself. You’re almost naked in your little clothes. Why are you still pretending to be innocent when you come to the bar in this sort of clothing?”
As he spoke, he picked up a bottle from the table, pointed at Audrey, and said with eyes full of malice, “Whether you like it or not, this chick is mine.”
Upstairs, Luis and the waiter were watching the scene. The waiter turned to Luis and asked nervously, “Mr. Stevens, should we go down and give them a hand?”
Luis chuckled and replied calmly, “No. Just relax and watch a good show.”
At this moment, Audrey and Nicole’s booth was in a mess. Then another loud bang was heard.
The bottle in the man’s hand was suddenly turned and smashed into his own head.
More blood oozed out of his wounds. This time, his entire face was covered with blood. It looked horrible.
He got even angrier. He turned and shouted, “Who the hell.
Before he could finish his words, someone twisted his arm, making him scream in pain. Then he was thrown to the floor, and someone’s foot trod on his head.
His shrill scream resounded through the bar. Despite the loud music, it still reached other customers’ ears.
“You like smashing bottles, huh?” A cold male voice sounded above the man’s head. The jacket man’s eyes were covered with blood, and he tried to open them with difficulty, curious about who the speaker was.
In his blurry vision, he saw the mysterious man’s face. The mysterious man was very handsome, but he had a somber expression. It was as if he was the devil from hell.
At this moment, the mysterious man snapped his fingers. Then, a waiter pushed a cart of wine, all with dazzling fluorescent lamps.
This only meant that the bottles of wine in the cart were very expensive.
