Editor: Henyee Translations
After Joan returned to the hotel, she thought about it and still felt that something was wrong. She secretly left the room before returning along the same path. When she could see Owen and Anita, she didn’t walk forward.
She just stood there in the shadow of a tree from afar and listened to Owen and the man talk.
It was only then that she found out that the man just now was Anita’s ex-boyfriend, and he was her ex-boyfriend who had lived with her for several years. When Joan heard this, anger welled up in her. She already felt that Anita was unworthy of Owen, and when she heard this, she felt that she was even less worthy of Owen.
At the same time, she began to think that Owen must have been mesmerized by Anita’s facade. After all, Anita’s ex-boyfriend was such a jerk. She had finally met a man as outstanding and rich as Owen, so how could she let him go?
But she didn’t expect Owen to be so protective of Anita. She hid in the dark alone and listened to their conversation. A few times, she couldn’t help but want to rush out, but in the end, she restrained herself.
She finally waited until Owen and Anita had left. When they were far away, she immediately walked out of the shade of the tree and followed the man called Eric.
"Who... who’s behind me?" Eric, who was cursing, suddenly heard footsteps behind him. He jumped and quickly turned around.
"Eric? You’re Anita’s ex-boyfriend, aren’t you?" Joan glanced at the man in front of him. She could see how he must have been handsome before, but now, he looked haggard.
"Yeah, and who are you?" Eric asked the woman who suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Don’t worry about who I am. Just tell me if you’re Annie’s ex-boyfriend?" Joan said to Eric.
"So what if I am?" Eric said while looking at Joan in confusion.
"If so, do you want Anita to break up with Owen? You should know that they’re married. If they get a divorce, Annie will get a pretty big share of the assets. Don’t you want the money?" Joan said and looked at the man in front of him.
"Lunatic, who knows you? What nonsense are you talking about?" Eric was stunned by the unbelievable words of the woman in front of him. Then, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Eric, to be honest, are you really willing to let go of this huge sum of money? Do you know how rich Owen is?" Joan said as Eric turned to leave.
As expected, Eric, who had taken two steps, stopped again. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Jon sneered and continued, "Of course, if you can do it, I’ll compensate you."
"Miss, I admit that your words tempted me, but you have to know how big the difference between me and Mr. Owen is. Anita has already met such an outstanding person, so why would she come back to me?" Eric stopped and turned to look at Joan.
"Mr. Eric, I believe this is not a question I have to consider, but a question you have to consider. If you want this money, I believe you will have many ideas," Joan said to Eric. freёwebnoѵel.com
Eric froze at Joan’s words. He had to admit that Joan’s words were especially tempting to him.
Moreover, in one way, he felt that money was really difficult to earn. First of all, he couldn’t guarantee that Anita would still be with him. After all, when they broke up, things were too ugly.
On the other hand, even though he wasn’t a good person, at least Anita had been with him for four years. He couldn’t bear to lie to this stupid woman again.
"Mr. Eric, do you want to make a deal?" Joan saw Eric’s hesitation and asked.
"It’s fine if you want me to do it. How much will you pay me when it’s done?" Eric gritted his teeth and made a decision.
Hearing Eric’s words, Joan secretly sneered. Now, she felt that Anita really didn’t deserve to be her rival, because her taste was too poor, and she could tell from the man in front of her.
"I’ll give you another three million when it’s done," Joan said.
Three million was too tempting. Coupled with the fact that if Anita could get half of Owen’s assets, he wouldn’t have to worry about money anymore.
He could focus on her music and stop begging people.
Eric made up his mind. "Okay, don’t lie to me when the time comes."
"Mr. Eric, don’t worry. I wish us a happy cooperation," Joan said as she reached out her hand to the man in front of her.
Eric also reached out and shook her hand. Their agreement was reached.
