Ex-Husband Goes Money Comes By Yvone Zabielski Chapter 99
Chapter 99 Surprise
Breenda’s fingers turned pale as she cripped the sheets very liard.
Even though she was scared of not getting the answer she wanted, there was still a hint of anticipation
within her.
But this time, Bentley did not say anything Instead, he released her hand coldly and pushed the door
open without a backward nce.
Audrey and Vi, who were chatting on the sofa outside, were shocked at the sight of Bentley’s
terrifying expression.
Audrey hurried to ask, “Mr. Bentley, what’s … the matter?”
Bentley ignored her and looked at Vi. “You knew that she was pretending”
Was Bentley … really angry?
This was the first time Vi saw Bentley like this.
She blinked her eyes guiltily.”…”
Bentley didn’t want to hear her exin. Instead, he strode downstairs and left.
Vi wanted to catch up, but Audrey pulled her back to Breenda’s ward.
Breenda’s eyes were red. It seemed like she had just cried and was in a vile mood.
Audrey pounced on her with a pained expression. “My dear daughter, I have warned you. Bentley is
cold by temperament, and he will not like you. But you insisted on confessing your love. See! Now you
are hurt!”
Breenda bit her lip and remained silent.
Audrey knew that Breenda had always been stubborn and nothing could stop Breenda once she had
made a decision. Therefore, Audrey turned around to beg Vi.
“Vi, help Breenda for the sake of our friendship. Since you could ask Mr. Bentley toe to
Washington, you must know how to keep him here as well!”
Vi shook her head with a serious expression. “I can’t. He is a principled man. No one can make him
change his
mind, not even me.”
Vi knew it sounded ruthless to Breenda, but she had to say it inly like this.
That way, Breenda could give in sooner. Now, Breenda was on her own to think it through.
Audrey sighed in disappointment.
Then Vi turned around, wanting to leave since she was of no help here anyway.
“Vi!”
Breenda stopped her and asked uncertainly, “Will you be my love rival?”
Audrey was numb with shock. She could still vividly recall how Anaya ended up,
Vi stood in silence for a few seconds.
But without further exnation, she turned around and left.
Russell was waiting for her in his car outside the Callis vill…
She walked strailit over, opened the door, and sat in the back row.
Noticing that Vi looked solemn, Russell rubbed her head rently,
“Wut happened? Who irritated iny little princess?”
Vi look
discourard. “It was I who irritated someone, and by someone, I mean Bentley.”
Russellughed. “Silly girl, you didn’t do anything wrong in tliis. Bentley has been engrossed with
medical research all these years and stayed away from all women. Dad has been scolding him for this.
It seems that only your words work miracles for liet.”
**But he is angry…”
Russell shook his head. “You don’t understand him. Despite looking cold, he is actually shy. Anyway,
you don’t have to worry about this. If he and Breenda are meant to be together, they will eventually.”
Vi breathed a sigh of relief.
But something seemed to have flitted through Russell’s mind. His expression became serious.
“Vi, there is something that I need to tell you… It’s been on my mind for quite a while…”
Noticing that Russell turned serious, Vi looked solemn as well.
“It’s about … your ex-husband.”
Vi thought, Ondo?
Hasn’t the guy gone missing? I’ve sent the Dark Bell to track him down, which turned out to be a vain
attempt. What! krow is that Ondo disappeared all of a sudden the day before the press conference
“You’ve found him?” Vi asked suspiciously.
Russell nodded.
“Bobby has found him, who is somewhere in the mountains between Washington and Phdelphia
now.”
Vi thought, right, Bobby is well-connected to both the underworld and the police. That makes hin
more informed than the Dark Bell. It is actually not surprising that he managed to find him!
Eut..
“What did he go there for?”
Russell remained silent. It seemed like he found it somewhat difficult to say it.
Vi then started to connect all the dots with all the things that happened during that period and clues
that she knew.
After thinking it through, she shook her head in amusement.
“”He can’t be there to find my “corpse, thinking that I have died, right? Ile doesn’t want to let me off
even if I have
Pussell choked and changed the topic right away.”ile has been staying there because he was trapped
in the mountains. But presumably, he should be backio Washington in a week at most.”
Vi’s expression froze a bit.
She thought, weck? ar means dayl?n is pressed for time now. Il ayl?n fails to make things happen fast,
once Ondo gets back, Ir would be difficult for lydi to bankrupt the G rey Group
Russell noticed her anxiety.
“Then what are your ns next?”
Vi looked up at him and smiled, “That’s great. I will give him a big ‘surprise’ on the day he returns!”
Looking at Vi’s burning eyes, Russell lowered his lead guiltily.
inct, there were two other things that he didn’t tell Vi.
The ones who trapped Ondo were Bobby’s people. Bobby had long disliked Ondo and thus he
took the opportunity to teach him a lesson this time.
Also, Ondo went there to find her without bad intentions. He was there to save her.

11 Vi had investigated it more carefully, she would have found out that Lawson hijacking the ne
had nothing to do with Ondo
But Vi chose to believe that Ondo had betrayed her. That was why she didn’t go deeper into the
investigation.
Russell opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
But he failed to do it.
Russell thought, even though Ondo was right this time, that doesn’t justily what he did to Vi in the
past three
years.
He has let her down, and it is time to pay the cost!
And since Vi knew that Ondo was about to return, she, high-spirited, arranged for Lucille to feign
as the major shareholder of Alin Real Estate Co., Ltd. the next day.
Despite having bought thend in the western suburbs, they still needed to discuss some follow-up
projects with the Seavey Construction Company.
“Bring the Caffrey family’s mole to dinner tonight. And make sure he can get our ns in private.”
Lucille, who was over the phone, sounded surprised. “Vi, if he manages to tell Jaylin about our
ns, Jaylin will obstruct our cooperation with the Seavey Construction Company.”
Vi puckered her lips and smiled, “I wonder if they are capable of doing that.”
“What?”
Lucille could not tell what Vi was doing. Therefore, she had to obey obediently.
That night, Jaylin came to the Caffrey ce in high spirits.
She was there to take credit from Whitney
“Whitney, I managed to get the cooperation ns between Alin Real Estate Co., Ltd. and Seavey
Construction Company”
“Really?” Whitney asked in surprise,
carefully. “Great! With the ns, things
She took over the documents in Jaylin’s hands instantly and looked at the will be inuch easier for us.”
Jaylin sesfed from the side, “Since we already know the price that Alin Real Estate Co., Ltd. offers
to Seavey
Construction Company, we just need to multiply the price so as to poach the contract with Seavey
Construction
Company
“Alin Real Estate Co., Ltd. is a smallpany in the first ce, which means they won’t have enough
working capital. After they make the advance payment as we poach the contract, they willck money
to work with other constructionpanies for building materials. That will make them give up thend
in the suburbs of the city eventually.”
Whitney smiled from carlo car, “Great! I will leave it to you then. No matter how much it will cost, the
Caffrey Group can afford in!”
Jaylin nodded.
Whitney patted Jaylin’s shoulder and looked at her solemnly. “Jaylin, I trust you a lot. Don’t disappoint
me!”
