Chapter 92: You’re right, Mom
Ryan was instantly stunned.
He sternly said, “Jenny, are you joking?”
Jenny gave a cold smile, “I’m not joking. I’m giving you a serious notice.”
Ryan couldn’t believe it, “We’ve been married for so long, our son has been married for three years, and you want a divorce? Just because of this little incident today? I accidentally spilled yogurt on Susan, helped her wipe it off-isn’t that just a normal human reaction?”
Susan, upon hearing her name mentioned, quickly stood up from the sofa.
Habitually pouting, she said with a pitiful look, “You’ve misunderstood.”
Jenny couldn’t stand Susan’s pitiful expression.
Clearly, she was at fault, yet she put on a look of great grievance.
Jenny couldn’t be bothered to look at her.
Jenny directly addressed Ryan, “I don’t have feelings for you anymore. Once the divorce agreement is drafted, my assistant will deliver it to your office.”
After saying this, she reached for the doorknob.
Ryan hurriedly stepped forward, locking the door, “We won’t talk about it today. You’re not allowed to leave without explaining!”
Jenny’s smile turned chilly as she raised her chin and pointed at Susan, “Are you going to say this in front of her?”
Only then did Ryan feel something was amiss. He turned to Susan, “Susan, you should leave first. Go find my driver and have him take you to the hospital for a hearing check.”
“Okay.” Susan obediently responded.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
As she passed by Jenny, she looked guilty and said, “Jenny, Ryan and I are really not what you think.”
Jenny’s gaze coldly shifted elsewhere, ignoring her.
Susan left feeling dejected.
Once the door was closed, Ryan spoke seriously, “I disagree with the divorce!”
A faint hint of mockery flashed in Jenny’s eyes, “It’s not up to you. If you don’t agree, I’ll file for divorce with the court.”
Ryan frowned, “Jenny, don’t be impulsive!”
Jenny’s face turned cold, “Ryan, you never had feelings for me, only interests.”
Ryan felt annoyed, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Don’t think I don’t know. When you married me, it was because of our family’s wealth and because I was the only daughter of my parents. After my parents passed away, the assets and company of the my family were secretly transferred to your name. Now, I have no value to you, yet you still pretend to care?”
Ryan rubbed his temples, “Jenny, you’re at an age where you shouldn’t be acting so recklessly!”
Jenny’s expression remained calm, “I’m serious, not just speaking out of anger.”
Seeing her seriousness, Ryan played his trump card, “My status cannot afford a divorce; it would have a severe impact on the company.”
Jenny casually replied, “Then keep it low-key, get a divorce privately without making it public.”
Ryan impatiently said, “Let’s talk about this later. I don’t have the mood to deal with this right now.”
Jenny glanced at him lightly, then opened the door and left.
After she left, Ryan immediately called his assistant.
As soon as the assistant entered the room, Ryan raised his hand and slapped him on the face, “Who allowed you to give Jenny a room key?”
The assistant covered his face, looking confused and stunned.
After a while, he finally spoke, “Madam said your room key was left at the venue, and she asked me to give her the spare key. She said it was your intention.”
Ryan was furious, “Why didn’t you call me to confirm?”
“Madam said your phone was with her, so there was no need to call.”
Played by Jenny like this, Ryan was filled with anger.
He took a deep breath and scolded, “Get out!”
The assistant, scolded from head to toe, left with a bewildered expression.
As soon as he opened the door, Ryan instructed, “Send two people to secretly follow Jenny and see if there’s anything unusual, especially in terms of her relationships with others.”
“Okay.”
Meanwhile, after Jenny left Ryan’s room, she went straight to Willis and Helena’s room.
Helena opened the door and warmly greeted, “Mom.”
Jenny raised her lips and patted Helena’s shoulder, praising, “My daughter-in-law, you’re getting more and more beautiful.”
Helena blushed at the compliment and said, “Mom is the beautiful one; your charm is getting better, and you look younger and younger.”
Jenny chuckled, “Look at the compliments we’re giving each other.”
Helena smiled, “I’m speaking the truth. Mom, with your spirit, you could easily pass for thirty.”
Jenny’s smile deepened, “Although that’s a bit exaggerated, I love to hear it.”
She walked over, sat on the sofa, placed her bag on the coffee table, and asked, “Where’s your husband?”
Willis was in the bedroom, handling work on his laptop.
Hearing the commotion, he walked out and asked, “How did things go?”
Jenny shrugged, “Just as you expected. When I went in, Susan was in tears. She probably already complained to your dad. Your dad was even bending down, wiping yogurt off her pants. Tsk, tsk.”
Disgusting.
Willis raised an eyebrow, “And then?”
“Seeing me enter, he panicked. Want to guess what I did?”
Willis smirked, “What trick did you play?”
Jenny lazily rested her fingers on the sofa armrest and said, “I said ‘let’s get a divorce,’ dropped those three words, turned around, and walked away. It really scared him.”
Willis’s eyes slightly narrowed, “Are you really planning to divorce him, or were you just trying to scare him?”
Jenny raised her hand to massage her temples, indifferently saying, “Really divorcing.”
“Have you thought it through?”
Jenny nodded, “I’ve endured him for nearly thirty years. I don’t want to endure it any longer. I stayed abroad before just to avoid seeing him.”
Willis had long seen the signs and wasn’t too surprised.
In his memory, his parents’ relationship had never been harmonious, with little time spent together.
He asked calmly, “Is there someone you like now?”
Jenny glanced at him, “You brat, what are you talking about?”
“If there is, I’ll help you.”
Jenny teased him, “Focus on yourself first. If you can’t handle your own matters, you won’t have the leisure to worry about me.”
Willis choked, pursed his lips, and remained silent.
Helena cut some fruits and brought them over, placing them in front of Jenny, “Mom, have some fruits.”
A brilliant smile lit up Jenny’s face as she picked up a fork and skewered a piece of cantaloupe. After savoring it slowly, she said, “Fruits cut by my daughter-in-law are sweet.”
After enjoying a few pieces of fruit, Jenny wiped her mouth with a tissue, stood up, and said, “I came here on a business trip. I have a contract to sign in the afternoon, so I’ll be leaving now.”
Willis gave a casual “Hmm” in response, “Thanks for today.”
“No need to be polite.” Jenny gently glanced at Helena, “I came to let off steam for my daughter-in-law.”
Touched, Helena said, “Thank you, Mom.”
Jenny smiled, “If this brat dares to bully you, just tell me. I’ll deal with him for you.”
Helena laughed, “With Mom around, he wouldn’t dare.”
Willis lowered his gaze, looking at her tenderly.
His gaze conveyed the message: I wouldn’t dare to bully you even without your mother around.
Jenny’s face showed a satisfied smile, “In this world, the one who will accompany you for a lifetime is your spouse. Treat her well, don’t lose out.”
Willis agreed, “You’re right, Mom.”
“Goodbye.” Jenny picked up her bag, stood up, and left.
