The Wealthy Divorcee How My Friends Think of Her
This new lovers' restaurant opened right above Mark's restaurant. It was very popular, so Mark had to come and experience it himself and even dragged Rex with him.The waiter stressed over and over again that this was a lovers' restaurant. Mark winked at Rex and lightly tugged on Rex's arm. "Don't we look like acouple?""Mark, Rex, what a coincidence.." A man and a woman walked over to them. Daryl Black looked like a typical gentry, and the woman holding Daryl's arm was a recently popular social media influencer with a small common-looking face and big eyes.Mark snorted lightly. "Why are you here?""Liza said this place is nice, so we came to check it out. Isn't this a lovers' restaurant?" Daryl implied something and covered his mouth to hold back his laughter.They were all childhood buddies, so there was no need to evade each other. Rex scowled and glared at Mark.Daryl felt amused since it was rare to see Rex at a loss like this. He did not leave and invited himself to their table

After that, Rex stood up and left, leaving the pale-faced Daryl behind.Mark chased after Rex. This must be related to Jenna again. That woman's troublesome."Rex, why do you look so upset? We're all bros. You know that Daryl's always been straightforward.Don't take whatever he said to heart."Rex also knew that he had overreacted and did not expect to have lost control of his emotions like that. It was just that when he found out about these things that he should have known but was kept in the dark, his only thought was, '1s this why Jenna hates me?'His chest felt stuffy and uncomfortable. He stood at the entrance for a while. After getting blown by the cold wind, his mind felt much clearer. He took out a cigarette and lit it. "I know. You can tell himthat it's not directed at him."'I'm just mad at myself!' Rex thought.Mark breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, but you're not longing for that woman, right?" Rex cast a sidelong glance at him and snorted. He was not bothered to answe

The girls looked at Elena's grim face and quieted down. The second floor of the bangquet hall was relatively quiet. When Gino brought Jenna upstairs, an unruly-looking young man in an expensive black shirt stood.The two men shook hands briefly. Gino smiled and said, "Mr. Jinn, it's been a while."Jeffrey Jinn laughed. The corners of his lips hooked up charmingly. "Hello, Mr. Anderson."Without waiting for Gino's introduction, Jeffrey had already moved his gaze onto Jenna. It was an appreciative glance with a decent sense of proportion that was not offensive."Ms. Jenna, you're not only beautiful but also capable. I hope that you won't mind that I put off our dinner and invited you to this banquet instead."Jenna smiled, "Of course not. Congratulations on J&J's 5th anniversary. I hope we'll be able to work together happily in the years to come." She made a double entendre.Jeffrey smiled. "Mr. Anderson, may I talk to Ms. Jenna privately? After all, if there's a chance for cooperation,

Jenna thought, 'So that's how it is..he's already a shareholder, huh? I just didn't expect Rex Hidalgo had set his eyes on the field of artificial intelligence for so long.'If Jeffrey did not take the initiative to tell Jenna this, Jenna would not have been able to find out. The fact that he told her this information also proved that he genuinely wanted to cooperate with her.Although Jenna was not happy about Rex's involvement, she had a clear mind and separated her personal affairs and business well. She would not give up on this opportunity.Jenna lowered her eyes and smiled. "With Hidalgo Corporation's strength, you can very well enjoy the fruits of this cooperation by yourself. Why do you need a third party to get involved?"She raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Rex."After all, this is a brand new field that no one's involved in, so Hidalgo Corporation cannot take this risk alone."The man's voice was deep and clear. The corners of his lips hooked up. "It won't be a w

When Jenna heard her name, she froze for a moment. She did not want to have anything to do with Rex, but this situation was out of her control, and she felt everyone's eyes on her.The awkward relationship between them after their divorce added to the mystery of this coincidental cooperation.Rex also did not expect this. Without a doubt, this was Jeffrey's doing.Jenna was still in a pickle when Rex walked to her. He exuded a calm aura as he bent slightly and reached out, inviting Jenna to the dance floor. Everyone's eyes were focused on the pair.There was no way Jenna could reject Rex's invitation because she did not want to leave a negative impact at the beginning of their three-way cooperation.Gino gave his baby sister a heartfelt look. Jenna smiled faintly, then stretched out her hand to take Rex's.The people in front of them consciously made way for the pair. Jenna carried her dress with her other hand and walked forward without looking at Rex.Rex's palm was slightly cold. A

The lights flickered. Jenna gently shook the glass of wine and stood in front of the railing on the second floor. She watched the pretentious exchange of pleasantries between the people below.Rex, walking over not far away, looked up at that instant and suddenly met Jenna's clear and cold gaze; Jenna faintly retracted her gaze and ignored the discomfort in her heart.That kiss on the dance floor earlier made thecrowd gasp. No one cared which of them made the wrong move at the end of the dance. They were waiting for an excellent show to happen between the ex-couple. Any reaction to either of them would lead to endless speculation.Thus, at that moment, their lips touched. Jenna instantly turned her face to the side. Fortunately, the music stopped, and she drew back in time. She glanced coldly at Rex and turned away without looking back. Mark was joking with several people around Rex. After sending them away, he let out a sigh of relief and looked at Rex, who had a cold and noble tem

Chris appeared to be surprised. He understood the essential idea. "Stop daydreaming; Jenna is neither crazy nor foolish, so why would she kiss a f*ckboy? Kiss your brother? Haha... stop daydreaming."Elena argued, "If you don't believe me, ask anyone here. Everyone saw it!" Her companions reluctantly nodded. Chris ignored them without giving them any further attention. Do you think I'm stupid to ask the folks you're conspiring with?Elena's wrath caused her face to turn red. Jenna, stop pretending you can still marry into our family because we will never accept you. It's true, anyway! Jenna, you don't dare confess it? My brother cares about Alice, and you only exist to give her a blood transfusion."She was aware of Alice's negative impact on Jenna. Jenna felt twice as desperate every time Alice's name was mentioned.Jenna, however, softly hooked her lips and chuckled in their prese

Rex approached Elena without pausing to observe Jenna's demeanor. He had an oddly frigid face.He asked, gritting his teeth, "Was what you just said true?" Elena bit her lower lip in nervousness and hesitated before responding.She grew up around her parents and was not close to her brother, who grew up abroad. After Rex returned to the country, he became a first-class business whiz in the sector and enlarged the Hidalgo's wealth, multiplied the family's wealth by hundreds.Elena became unbearably haughty and exclaimed, "Answer me!" Elena hesitated, but Rex coerced her into speaking.From behind him, from the left, came a cold and harsh scoff. He realized right away that Jenna was the one giggling."Mr. Hidalgo, it's all true," Jenna said, revealing the truth. A complex gaze was cast at these two folks by those nearby. They were unaware that Jenna's brilliance and the exterior's beauty lie in a past that was so nasty and unhappy.They were moved by Elena's words and felt sorry for Je

The Wealthy Divorcee Little Traitor
As Jenna exited the room, Jeffrey Jin approached her with an apologetic expression. "Jenna, I want to apologize again if I overstepped earlier. As a gesture of goodwill, I'd like to take you to our newly built lab. Would you be interested?"Jenna considered his offer for a moment before nodding. "Alright, let's go."Jeffrey led her to a sleek, black car parked discreetly outside. "For security reasons, I'll need you to ride with me," he explained. "The lab's location is confidential, so the windows are tinted to prevent any visual clues."As they settled into the car, Jenna noticed the opaque curtains that blocked any view of the outside world. She couldn't help but admire Jeffrey's meticulousness. The journey was smooth, and after some time, the car came to a gentle stop.Upon exiting, Jenna was taken aback by the unassuming exterior of the building before her. It looked like any other industrial facility, giving no hint of the advanced technology housed within.Inside, the atmospher

Jenna sat across from Jeffrey and Rex in the private dining room of the restaurant, her fingers drumming against the table as she locked eyes with Jeffrey. The air was thick with unspoken tension, but she wasted no time cutting through it."Tell me, Jeffrey," Jenna began, her tone cool and unwavering. "Is this meeting a setup?" She crossed her arms and leaned back. "I deliberately rejected every single appointment request from Rex, yet here I am, sitting at the same table with him. That doesn’t feel like a coincidence."Jeffrey exhaled, rubbing the back of his neck before offering her a sheepish smile. "I won’t lie to you, Jenna. I arranged this meeting knowing he would be here, but I had no ill intentions. I just… needed to make an exception this time."Jenna arched a brow, unimpressed. "And why is that?""Because, despite everything, this project is important for all of us," Jeffrey said sincerely. "I promise you, I remain neutral between the two of you. But as a gesture of goodwill

After realizing the situation, Rex picked up the pen but hesitated. His fingers hovered over the first page before he set the pen down and leaned back. "Mike, schedule an appointment with Jenna’s office. I need to speak with her."Mike stiffened slightly but nodded. "Right away, sir."A few moments later, Mike returned, his expression unreadable. "Sir, Ms. Jenna’s office declined your appointment. Her assistant said her schedule is full."Rex’s jaw tensed. "Full? She’s deliberately avoiding me."Mike remained silent, not daring to comment. Rex let out a slow breath, rubbing his face in frustration. He should’ve expected this. After everything he had done, Jenna had every reason to shut him out.---The Hidalgo's intrusion had been exactly as she expected—a power play. Chairman Hidalgo had attempted to humiliate her, questioning her identity and trying to tarnish her reputation.Too bad for him, she wasn’t the woman she used to be.As she sat in her chair, her phone buzzed. She glanced
The Wealthy Divorcee Rex's Regrets
Chairman Hidalgo stormed into the grand Hidalgo mansion, his fury unyielding even as the evening air cooled around him. The heavy oak doors slammed shut behind him, echoing through the expansive halls. Servants quickly scurried out of his way, recognizing the thunderous expression on his face. He had never been humiliated like this—dismissed so quickly, as if he were nothing.Elena followed closely behind, her arms crossed as she watched her grandfather seethe. “Grandfather, I told you she wouldn’t just hand it over.”“That woman!” Chairman Hidalgo growled, tossing his coat onto a nearby chair. “She has no respect, no gratitude. She was nothing before Rex, and now she dares to act superior?”Elena placed a hand on his arm, her voice calculated and persuasive. “Jenna has always been defiant, but we can still stop her. We must ensure she has no allies or means of support.” She paused, her eyes gleaming. “You should speak with Chairman Marcus Anderson.”Chairman Hidalgo frowned. “Marcus

Rex arrived just as his grandfather and sister stormed out of Jenna’s office, both wearing matching scowls of frustration. He had expected chaos the moment he received the frantic call from his secretary, informing him that Old Master Hidalgo and Elena had barged into Jenna’s office unannounced.Seeing them standing outside, seething, made his stomach churn with irritation. “Grandfather,” he started, his voice level but firm, “you had no right to barge in like that.”Old Master Hidalgo scoffed. “That woman has no respect for her elders! We tried to reason with her, but she refused to listen.”Rex turned to Elena, his gaze sharp. “And you,” he snapped, “I should’ve known you were behind this.”Elena folded her arms and rolled her eyes. “She’s the one making things difficult. We’re only trying to get back what belongs to us.”Rex exhaled sharply, his patience wearing thin. “Do you even realize how much of a mess you’ve made? That pipe is a family heirloom, not an item you can sell.”Ele
The Wealthy Divorcee Jenna's Power Mode
Jenna stepped into her office, her gaze sharp as she saw Old Master Hidalgo and Elena seated as if they owned the place. The arrogance in their demeanor was almost laughable. She knew why they were here, but she had no intention of making this easy for them."Rude! How can you come in without knocking first?" Old Master Hidalgo barked, his expression twisted in irritation.Jenna smirked, shutting the door behind her. "Chairman Hidalgo, I never knock when I come into my office."Elena let out a soft, derisive chuckle, crossing her legs with an air of superiority. "Jenna, let's not be difficult. You were once part of our family. We know how hard it must have been for you after leaving Rex."Jenna raised a brow. "Hard?" She folded her arms and leaned against her desk. "You mean walking away with my dignity intact rather than begging for scraps? I never asked for money during the divorce, and I certainly don't need or want it now."Old Master Hidalgo's face twitched in irritation. He was
The Wealthy Divorcee I Never Knock When I Come Into My Office
The meeting room was dead silent for a full minute.Mr. Skilinzie's face was red, and he did not expect that Jenna would turn the gun on them. He said, "It's not..." Jenna interrupted him without a care. "I believe you've all received notice this morning that I'm managing everything in the company in Mr. Anderson's absence. I'm in charge of this project, so if you don't want to be a part of it from now on, hand me your letter of resignation immediately. Your positions will be replaced by your deputies. I will explain everything to Mr. Anderson." The people in the room were shocked and silenced. They had all stepped over each other to climb to their department head positions, and their deputies were eyeing their spots. It was a sought-after position, so no one dared to act rashly at this moment.Although they could not stand that Jenna had parachuted into her Vice President position, they could all tell how much Gino had supported her since the first day she arrived. They knew that t
The Wealthy Divorcee Can You Afford To?
At that moment, Jenna felt an unexpected intensity in Chris's demeanor, a stark departure from the carefree young man she had known just two years ago. It was as if he had transformed into a more sophisticated version of himself, a master of his destiny. Jenna found herself entangled in his gaze, lost in contemplation."He's not the same frivolous young master as he was two years ago," she thought, her mind racing to make sense of the shift.Panicking, Jenna quickly gathered her composure, determined not to reveal her inner turmoil. She had experienced the whirlwind of love before and had no intention of getting caught up in it again, no matter how tempting it might be."Avila, you're getting better at coaxing women now, huh?" she teased, trying to deflect attention from her unease.Chris, slightly taken aback, chuckled and took a step back. "No one else is qualified enough for me to coax."Jenna raised an eyebrow teasingly, "Right... If your girlfriends lined up, they could probably
The Wealthy Divorcee The Bitch is Coming Back
After Jenna eloquently expressed her thoughts, she retreated to the private room to make a call to Chris and make her exit. However, as she was about to get into her car, a sudden realization struck her – she had left her bag in the private room. Contemplating whether to retrieve it or not, Chris intervened, assuring her, "I'll get it. You can wait in the car." Without uttering another word, Chris left Jenna standing there. Intrigued, Jenna decided to follow him, only to unexpectedly cross paths with Rex and Mark, both on their way out. Preferring to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jenna refrained from approaching and instead positioned herself on the other side of the fountain at the entrance. Mark, initiating a conversation, remarked, "I heard that Alice is coming back soon?" Rex responded with a resonant "mm." Mark continued, "I haven't seen her in so long. I miss her. Although she was at fault, your punishment was a little too heavy. She's one of us, so you should forgive her." As
