Chapter 2

She turned around and walked out decisively.

Miguel stared at her fading figure for a long time deep in his thoughts.

Ximena used to be obedient and gentle when she was around me. But today, she seemed to take a tough stance.

"Did I do her an injustice?'

"But, if it isn't her who drugged me, who else could it be?" Miguel thought in confusion.

The two Duos arrived at the court that morning.

Ximena wore a plain old-fashioned shirt, and Miguel had on a high-end black tuxedo suit. It may look strange when standing together but, They attracted the attention of many passers-by.

Ximena didn't care about the looks. She just could not wait to end their relationship.

In less than ten minutes, the depressing marriage finally came to an end.

At the sight of the divorce certificate in her hand, Ximena was in a trance for a moment. She felt sad and happy at the same time.

"Behave yourself from now on." His cold voice rang out disrupting her thought.

When Ximena looked up again, the man had already disappeared into thin air. He didn't ask her to stay, nor did he spare her a slight glance. He disappeared as he had never existed.

"That's quite good."

Ximena let out a laugh of pain and joy as shook her head on both sides helplessly.

Since he was so indifferent, they'd better be strangers when meeting each other again.

She came back to her senses and walked to the side of the road.

Suddenly, a limited edition black Maybach vehicle screeched to a halt in front of her.

The car door was immediately opened, and a middle-aged man with gray hair strode toward her under the escort of Six bodyguards.

After realizing who they were, Ximena raised her chin slightly and said with instinctive elegance, "Dad you're something else. I've just gotten a divorced, and you've found me here."

Her Dad, Mr. Antonio let out a deep chuckle and then a flattering smile. before saying, "Ximena my daughter, the three years agreed between you and I your father, has come to an end."

He paused, glancing at the divorce certificate in Ximena's hand.

He then pretended to be regretful and said, "It seems that you failed to make Miguel Ricardo fall in love with you. In that case, you should fulfill your promise and return to Rex City to inherit the family business."

Ximena frowned and remained silent for a long time as though she was alone.

At the age of 13, Ximena was kidnapped, lost her memory, and was raised at the orphanage in Scent City. Later, she was taken to the Ricardo family as Old Mrs. Ricardo had this fondness towards her the moment she set her eyes on her visiting the orphanage. It was not until she came of age that Old Mrs. Ricardo forced Miguel to marry her.

On their supposed wedding night, something unexpected happened and Ximena surprisingly regained her memory. Ridiculously, she insisted on staying beside Miguel and refused to go back with Her father's right-hand man, Mr. Oscar. Finally, she made a three-year agreement with her father.

Now recalling what had happened back then, Ximena thought these three years spent pursuing a man who didn't love her had been a waste of her precious time. She could have been happy if she invested those years doing business, looking good, and making more money.

"I missed you, Ximena. Ximena, please come back with me. Don't be angry at me anymore. I'm..."

"Dad!"

Ximena interrupted him. Her face turned stern when she thought of the past. "You have that woman by your side, and the Antonio family doesn't need me. I have something important to do in Scent City. I won't go back. I guess if I'm to even take that part, it won't be for now."

In the past two years, Ximena had been secretly investigating who had made her lose her memory and end up in Scent City. She found the person responsible was likely in the Antonio Group, but she still hasn't found out who's the supposed culprit just yet.

The enemy remained behind the scene at present, so it was too dangerous for her to return to the Antonio family now.

What's more, she was also reluctant to go back and meet that annoying and disgusting woman.

Mr. Antonio sighed and uttered, "Oscar was right. You would still blame me and refuse to come back home so easily."

He then swiftly took out a VIP black card and said, "This is the credit card for you. There are 10 billion dollars in it."

Then, he waved his hand to the bodyguard behind him, and the bodyguard swiftly handed a brand new contract to Ximena.

"You can choose not to come back now, but you have to accept the management rights of the Antonio Group's Angle Group in scent City, and the profits of the group this year must reach up to Eight percent higher than that of the last year."

"If you refuse to accept it, the Ricardo Group might end up miserably."

Ximena silently gritted her teeth staring intensely at her Dad.

Before the death of Old Mrs. Ricardo, Ximena had promised her she would manage the Ricardo Group well for her. So, she couldn't allow her father to make any attempts to Collapse the Ricardo Group.

'Dad already knew clearly about my soft underbelly, but he didn't attack it and force me home. Instead, he only asks me to take over the Antonio Group.'

'What is he planning to do?' Ximena thought deeply as she still couldn't place her on it.

"Alright, deal!" Ximena finally mutters.

Ximena took the pen, signed her name, and took the VIP black card with a deposit of 10 billion dollars.

Looking at the dark golden card, she nods her head with a helpless smile.

Due to the previous agreement with her father, her bank card account was frozen, and she had to hide her real identity, otherwise, it would be deemed a breach of contract from her side.
