All Chapters of The Girlboss Regrets Our Divorce: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I could hear a laugh of disdain from the other end, before Ivy's lofty voice rang in my ears. "You're the one who stated clearly in the divorce agreement that you wanted nothing—and you drafted said agreement yourself."It's only been days, and you're now demanding compensation for mental distress and the like. But in the end, aren't you just doing it for the money? Is it that hard to admit that you're a greedy freeloader?"I could even imagine Ivy's haughty smirk on the other end, but I did not stop myself from firing back. "Greedy? There's really no truth when you start with your insults. But I'm not interested in arguing either—think what you will, but you're paying me alimony.""And why is that?" Ivy asked icily."Because I cooked the food you ate for a year," I growled through clenched teeth. "In fact, I took care of everything, from your wardrobe to your basic needs."I won't deny that you're incredible at making money, but I've not been goofing off entirely either. Even hir

I did not take the last part to heart, only noting that Bryan was the one who had visited Ivy uninvited.I frowned, as I clearly remembered that Bryan had been neutral toward Ivy at best. It was Ivy who had pulled every trick in the book, chasing after him relentlessly to finally claim him to himself.And despite his cool demeanor, Bryan must have been unable to bring himself to reject her since he did not want to humiliate her, which was why she went to the mansion.Since there was no way Walter would know the whole story, he mostly likely was just saying what he thought was the case.But I had long since given up, and they could do anything they wanted.All I had to do was to worry about myself and refrain from getting involved with them at all, staying alive and avoiding the tragedy of my last life.Seeing me space out, Walter spoke to me again, saying, "I've been driving Ms. Jenner around for years. She has always been very strict, but she's been nicer in the year you came in

Hearing Carl, everyone in the room immediately chatted audibly among themselves.Mrs. Jenner glanced proudly at him, before turning back to me, "So? What are you doing, just standing there? Head over to the kitchen already."I simply folded my arms while smiling at them. "Are you saying that the illustrious Jenner family can't even afford a chef? It certainly feels like you're treating me like one, telling me to cook for your entire family and all."Mrs. Jenner was utterly shocked as she obviously didn't expect a retort from me, and she glowered, "What are you talking about? I'm giving you a chance to show your chops—how am I treating you like a chef?"Carl scowled as well, shaking his head in disapproval. "You married into our family, and you're already snapping at your mother-in-law! Are you going to walk over her in another few years?"Everyone else traded glances, before turning in unison toward me with looks of disgust.I remained unaffected—that was the same way they looked

Even if this was my second life and I no longer had any hopes for Ivy, I was still her husband.As such, it really disappointed me that she could act as if my trouble was nothing to her."You're no different from your father," Mrs. Jenner continued grumbling just then. "Leeching off women, both of you."I could almost imagine how terrible the look on my face was, but I was not about to stop.Glaring fiercely at Mrs. Jenner, I growled through my teeth, "You're the wife of the head of the Jenner family. Do you think it's civilized, mocking and humiliating your own son-in-law with so many others watching?"Mrs. Jenner was immediately glowering at me, "Watch your mouth! Is that how you speak to your mother-in-law?"I shrugged. "It's called an eye for an eye, unless you finally decide to play nice."Even as she kept glaring at me, Mrs. Jenner's mouth opened and closed, clearly wanting to keep snapping at me.However, seeing that no one was backing her up, she had to take the loss, a

Even as I left Mrs. Jenner flushed and seething, Hal finally spoke up, "That's enough. Stop meddling with the kids and eat."Nonetheless, everyone else was showering Ivy with concern and sympathy. While some offered to introduce her good doctors for examination, others were already convinced that social drinking affected her ovulation.Even Carl joined in, "Look, sis—working every day and social gatherings definitely hurt your health. There's a man here to take the reins, see? Ladies should always take good care of their health…""Shut up," Ivy snapped coolly at her younger brother, who had clearly touched a nerve. "Or what, I'm supposed to let you take over the company?"I looked on, smirking.When everyone humiliated me in my last life, Ivy simply looked on without a care.Now, none of them would get away with this.A man who lost everything would fear nothing, while these bigwigs all valued their pride.And all it took was just one medical report!If anything, I wouldn't ha
