Getting My Ex-wife Back

Chapter 228 Rayan’s Life



“Really?” Jenna smiled nonchalantly with aggressive eyes. “Norton, if you still have your conscience, you will give me a straight answer.”

Norton looked at her silently.

“Jenna, please let me go, I don’t want to go to jail. I will make it up to you. Anything you want, you can just ask for it,” Norton suddenly begged Jenna as he looked at her in agony.

“Norton, do you have any dignity?” Jenna gritted her teeth and looked at him angrily.

He was so embarrassed that he dared not look at her, let alone answer her.

“Let me ask you: do you love Sabrina?” Jenna stared at his gloomy face and asked with a heavy tone.

Sabrina? Norton was shocked by the mention of her name and then he suddenly understood. Jenna came to him for Sabrina, not for herself.

What was on her mind? She was completely unreadable.

“Jenna, I have never loved any other woman in my life other than you.” Norton stood up straight, cleared up his thoughts, and told her.

Jenna frowned. She never liked Norton, never would she believe his nonsense. If it weren’t for Sabrina, she would not even want to talk to him in the first place.

“Well, let me ask you. Since you don’t love her, what are you hoping to get from her father? Why did you ask her out? Why are you trying to find General Delia? Is there any ulterior motive?” Jenna probed aggressively.

“I…” Norton stared at her blankly and muttered, “Sabrina told you this?”

“Norton, don’t assume that everyone else is deceitful as you. Sabrina is kind-hearted and pure. She may be your fianceé on paper but to me, you are unworthy of her. If you don’t love her, you have to tell her instead of manipulating her like this. It’s unfair to her.” Jenna was heartbroken that Sabrina was a pawn in Norton’s game.

If her assumptions were right, Norton was currently planning to get to Sabrina’s father through her.

Jenna couldn’t bear to see Sabrina hurt, that was why she would stand up to Norton.

Norton frowned in panic, his expression stiffened.

“Let me tell you something, Norton. Sabrina is a good girl. I won’t let you hurt her. I don’t want to see her go through the same things as I did. No matter what you’re using her for, or if you’re planning to use every means to deceive her, I won’t let you succeed.” Jenna’s eyes were as cold and like piercing arrows. Her words were obsolete.

Norton stood bewildered as he looked at Jenna blankly, speechless.

“Norton, if you still have a heart, leave Sabrina out of this plan of yours. She is really innocent and probably loves you. If you don’t want to marry her or have ulterior motives, please let her go. This is my advice to you. If you must do something against your conscience, remember, I will not let you get away with it,” Jenna warned Norton again. After this, she ignored him, turned around, and left.

Norton stood as still as a statue, dumbfounded until Jenna’s figure disappeared from his sight. He then walked away with his head down.

On the vast blue sea, luxurious cruise ships were floating on the surface of the sea.

The sea breeze did not affect how warm and cozy the cabin of the cruise ship was.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

There was a tall and handsome man holding a wine glass. He took a sip from his glass, his movements impeccably elegant, and his whole body radiated an aura of prestige.

He lightly twirled the wine glass and scarlet-red liquid stained his fingers.

“Rayan, have you thought about it? If we don’t act now, Christopher will take over my dad’s den in A City. The city is densely populated. We can’t miss such good resources.” An elegant woman stood behind him. She was staring at his back affectionately and asked softly.

“You should already know my plans.” Rayan turned around. His eyes flashed coldly before saying to Hilda, “I am not interested in this and I don’t want to participate.”

Hilda’s face quickly turned pale and a disappointed smile formed on her face.

“Rayan, I know you are worried about her and you don’t want to hurt her,” Hilda resisted the pain in her and said. Her hand that was holding the shawl trembled slightly.

After so many months, he still couldn’t forget her. Jenna was the only one in his heart.

He had never even given her a good glance.

Why?

Rayan stood there, raised his head, and downed the wine in his hand. His face was getting flushed.

“She is so perfect and worth every ounce of my love. Is there anything wrong with it?” His eyes were cold and his unforgiving words pierced Hilda’s heart like a knife. “I love her and I am willing to do anything for her.”

Hilda’s face was completely blanched.

After a long time, Hilda put aside her own feelings and said calmly, “Rayan, this is my father’s request. We must make sure the A city police get stopped so that we can get through this catastrophe without a scratch on us.”

Rayan gave an indifferent smile and said nonchalantly, “Hilda, as I said, I want no part of this. Please pass the message to your dad. At the same time, I advise you to not embark on this road. It’s not too late to give up.”

Hilda was utterly disappointed. He did not want anything to do with them. For so many years, he was living the good life as she was willing to keep his involvement in organized crime a secret. Although there were speculations, this did not affect his reputation. His career was in full swing as he gradually took over international territories and later the rest of the world. This marked the beginning of his glory.

After all, he was a natural when it came to business. He was smart, decisive, and bold, not to mention he had his father’s support. He conquered both the criminal organizations and the market. He was invincible.

His net worth was so great that it could be a myth.

Now that he retained all these successes, he wanted to soar on his own and have nothing to do with her.

“No, Rayan. It’s not like that.” Hilda shut her eyes in pain. “If my father hadn’t supported you all these years, could you be where you are today? Could you develop in those foreign countries? Could you gain favor from multiple companies or even the head of state? Have you ever thought about it?”

“Of course I did.” Rayan’s eyes flashed coldly as they talked about the past. He took a deep breath and said lightly, “It is precisely because of this that I hesitated until now. However, I’ve decided. I will leave this place. From now on, I just want to live a normal life. Everything here has nothing to do with me. To make it up to you, I will put several companies in major foreign countries under your name. You can also choose to live a normal life like me and get married one day.”

This day has finally come.

Hilda was starting to get dizzy.

“Rayan, if you leave my dad, do you really think those companies can continue to stay successful? Don’t be naïve. Look at the competitors. They might look successful but what they relied on was the filthy money my father made for them. Nothing is possible without money. Think about it, how did my father stay unharmed all these years? Not one of those successful people was not involved with organized crime. Why can’t you accept it? All these good things are just a facade. I don’t oppose your pursuit but you can’t leave me. You must know that I have poured out everything I have to love you. I waited for you for so many years. Why are you so cruel? If my father knows about this, he will not forgive you,” Hilda explained with tears welling in her eyes.

Rayan had a prestigious aura. His elegance and his career were because of her father’s help. Now that he achieved fame and success, he wanted to abandon them, to abandon this kind of shame, his relation with the life of crime. He wanted to live a normal life but he never thought that he was once a downcast man that even with good looks and brilliant personality, he did not go far in his business.

It wasn’t until he met her father that the tables turned and his career skyrocketed. She made him the classy man he was today but now he decided to leave her.

At first, her dad liked him for his talent and perseverance. Plus, he wanted Hilda to work with Rayan. In the end, her father only wanted to ask him to marry Hilda, nothing more.

What would her father think if he were to leave them after achieving success?

Tears flowed down her cheeks.

She loved him so deeply and was willing to do anything for him.

She did everything she could for him to live his life like a king but obviously, all she did meant nothing to him.

“Hilda, this decision was not made on a whim. I thought about it for a long time. I suppose you know. After going through so much, I have figured it out. A simple life is enough. My life doesn’t need to be extravagant. I would never be involved in drugs. You should know it better than I do. Please inform your father about this. I’m not afraid to pay the price if you choose to not let me go.”

Rayan said as he slid his hands into his pockets, smiling calmly. It was as if he was talking about something completely unrelated to him.

Hilda gripped the handle of the seat so tightly that her knuckles were turning white.

“Get on the shore,” Rayan ordered toward the driver window.

The cruise ship immediately drove towards the shore.

Before going ashore, Rayan turned and said to Hilda, “Do not hurt her. Otherwise, I won’t let you get away with it.” He left after.

Rayan was willing to pull his name through the mud to achieve success but he would never be associated with drugs. This was his bottom line and no one could convince him otherwise.
