Getting My Ex-wife Back

Chapter 179 The Cruel Reality



The winter in A city was particularly cold that year.

That morning, the wind stopped howling and the rain stopped pouring. Even a little ray of sunlight was seen.

But just after lunch, there was the fluttering snowflakes filled the sky.

After Jenna ate lunch with her mother in the hospital, she felt so chilly that she kept trembling. For the past few days, Hansen was by her side to warm her but once he left, she realized that the weather was actually cold to the bone.

She remembered her sable coat, which was one of the authentic treasures from abroad, made from the finest, most exquisite type of fur. It was really soft and kept her very warm.

This coat was the dowry that Jenna’s father gave her when he came back from a business trip to the north. Years had passed but its color was still dazzling. It was also Jenna’s favorite. Even Hansen had praised her for looking graceful and radiant after putting on this sable coat.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Jenna’s face. She sneezed after standing the cold for a while and decided to call a taxi to head toward Richards Manor.

The living room in Green Jade Garden was lit with brilliant lights. It was lively there.

The servants were busy tidying up the living room. Looking from a distance, figures were seen bustling around, which gave off a festive air.

Was there an event? Jenna was a little puzzled.

“Gee, how did this b*tch still have the guts to come back?” A strange cry sounded from Jenna’s left, the voice full of disgust. Hearing this voice, Jenna got goosebumps.

It seemed that it had been a long time since she heard such unpleasant words that she had forgotten the humiliation she experienced in the past.

Her expression changed slightly and she turned her head around.

Minnie’s face appeared in front of her. She was carrying a very exquisite-looking bag as she looked at Jenna with disdain. Her expression was gloomy and her eyes were gleaming with hatred.

Jenna was stunned momentarily before she recalled that Hansen had taken back her property from them for her. Losing all those properties all of a sudden, Minnie must be resentful and angry.

Jenna forced a faint smile onto her face. She had no intention of paying attention to this woman at all. She then turned her head away to enter the house.

“Tsk tsk, how shameless of you to come to your ex-husband’s house after divorce. Worst of all, you have the guts to destroy other people’s relationships.” Minnie had moved back to the small and humid place where she used to live before. She was destitute of money and very angry. When she saw Jenna, her anger grew, thinking that Jenna had manipulated Hansen to get rid of their family. In her mind, Jenna pestered Hansen just to reclaim her property.

Jenna had long been accustomed to Minnie’s indifferent attitude. She didn’t want to in any way interact with her but her accusations were humiliating and Jenna was not going to let her go for that. She halted and turned around angrily.

“Minnie, please be respectful. Try to at least not trash other people when you’re not any better yourself,” Jenna said coldly.

“Respect you?” Minnie laughed and said, “You slut. Till now, you still don’t feel ashamed. If I were you, I would get out of the manor now. You are a fool for coming back.”

Taking two steps closer, Minnie peered at her with disgust and said coldly, “What are you hoping to gain from being by Hansen’s side? Other than those properties, there’s nothing for you. Let me tell you something you might be interested in. Aria and Hansen will get married soon and even Grandma Vivian has agreed. The wedding date is about to be set, you just watch and cry.”

Having said that, she laughed loudly.

Wedding? As Jenna listened to Minnie’s words, she took a glance at her abominable face. She suspected that Minnie was trying to provoke her, therefore she spoke such nonsense.

They had done so much to steal her family’s property and out of nowhere, those possessions were taken back by Hansen. They were surely furious and would never give up the chance to humiliate her.

Thus, Jenna just stared at Minnie and muttered “boring” under her breath before walking away.

Minnie was surprised to not see any reaction from Jenna; no anger, no sorrow, not even embarrassment. She wondered if Jenna really didn’t love Hansen after all. Perhaps, Jenna didn’t want to be the wife of the Richards family’s first son? Could she have other intentions?

“I tell you, even if you want to be Hansen’s mistress, it’s useless. Aria will not let you go. Don’t think that you’ll have a good life when I live so horribly. Just you wait, you will only be more miserable than me in the future. Miserable. You hear me?” Minnie yelled in a viscous tone from behind Jenna.

Her sinister voice was so sharp that Jenna’s eardrums got a little pained.

Suddenly, Jenna felt waves of nausea and she wanted to vomit.

That shrill voice sent chills all over her body; Finally, Jenna felt cramps in her abdomen. Feeling uncomfortable, she covered her mouth and crouched down.

“Silence. How dare you speak to Young Madam that way.” A strict voice was heard from behind. Minnie turned around and was shocked to see a middle-aged woman in Richards Group’s overalls and a pair of glasses approaching her.

She held her head high. Her aura would undoubtedly leave people awestruck.

Minnie was a little surprised. Who was this servant? She held her composure so amazingly!

Meroy stared sternly at Minnie, her eyes flashing with a sharp light.

She walked directly to Jenna and squatted down beside her. She then helped her up and said respectfully, “Young Madam, what’s wrong? Are you unwell?”

Jenna suppressed the nauseating feeling and lifted her chin up. Realizing that it was Meroy, she smiled weakly and replied, “Meroy, I’m fine.”

“Young Madam, you look very pale. Do you need any help?” Meroy looked at Jenna’s face with concern and asked uneasily.

Meroy has worked with Vivian for a long time, she naturally would like Jenna as much as Vivian did. More importantly, Jenna had a pleasant character. She was both elegant and noble, which made Meroy truly admire her.

Jenna could be regarded as a lady from one of the rich families but she didn’t display the indulgence and debauchery that was often portrayed by the rich. She was cautious, diligent, and intelligent in dealing with matters. Truth be told, not many women had those qualities.

Meroy could see why Vivian valued Jenna so much.

Vivian, who had experienced the ups and downs of life, was an expert in reading people. It was a pity that Jenna’s life was tough. Meroy felt pity for Jenna who had faced nothing but tragedies after marrying into the Richards family. She felt more pity towards Javon, who had raised her daughter so well but ended up being mistreated this way. The world was unfair.

Meroy only hoped that Hansen could love Jenna more, but with the current situation…

She sighed lightly as the light in her eyes dimmed, showing pity for Jenna.

“Meroy, I’m really okay. It’s just a cold. I will get better soon.” Jenna resisted the nauseating feeling that came up once again before lifting her chin and smiled.

“Your health is the most important thing. If you feel unwell, we must go to the hospital. We have to treat you promptly,” Meroy gently advised. “Don’t assume that you will be able to survive because you’re young. A lot of the diseases that appear during old age are a result of negligence when we were young. You have lost a lot of weight recently and you look weak. Take care of your health, alright?”

She spoke seriously and her expression was very solemn.

Jenna just smiled and nodded.

Meroy looked up and saw Minnie standing there giving her a once-over, her eyes filled with doubt and disdain. She was inspecting Meroy from head to toe as a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Meroy had heard of Minnie before; she was the manager Aria had brought in. Only a few days after she came to Richards Manor, she had already picked on the servants in Green Jade Garden. The servants there had complained amongst themselves but no one dared to speak up.

“Young Madam, ignore what people say. Some of them have bad intentions. You don’t need to care about those selfish people. Everyone knows the truth. Come on, Young Madam, let’s speak elsewhere,” Meroy purposely said loudly as she swept her sharp stare towards Minnie.

Following that, she helped Jenna to walk to the other side.

Jenna instantly understood what Meroy meant. She smiled at her as gratitude, and followed her to the side.

“Old lady, after Aria marries Hansen, I’ll be sure to deal with you.” Of course, Minnie understood the ridicule and mockery in Meroy’s words. Her face was flushed red. She couldn’t help but curse internally. Seeing that they were already far away, she spat on the ground, then turned and walked toward Green Jade Garden.

“Old Madam has ordered me to invite you over.” After Meroy took Jenna away, she made sure that Minnie could not hear them anymore before whispering to Jenna.

Jenna was stunned.

“Is Grandma looking for me?” she asked softly.

“Yes.” Meroy smiled and nodded. “Recently, Old Madam often talks about you, saying that when I see you, I should ask you to go over to her as soon as possible.”

Jenna felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She smiled slightly and asked with concern, “Meroy, how is Grandma doing?”

“She’s okay.” Meroy nodded and sighed. “She is fine but she worries too much. She’ll exhaust herself, especially at this age.”

Meroy spoke seriously.

Jenna felt a little down when she heard it.

Together, they walked toward Ink Garden.

Vivian had a soft quilt covering her body and her eyes were closed while she rested.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

When Meroy walked in with Jenna, Vivian was lying on the chair with her head resting on the cushion as if she was asleep.

“Old Madam, Jenna is here,” Meroy quietly walked over and said softly into Vivian’s ear.

Vivian’s eyes instantly snapped open, she was so excited that she tried to sit up.

“Grandma, lie down. You don’t need to sit up.” Jenna hurried forward and supported Vivian who was struggling to sit up.

Vivian was old. Sitting up may be uncomfortable for her.

“Jenna, my child, you are here,” Vivian said while she reached out to hold Jenna’s hand.

She looked at Jenna with surprise, love, and anxiety in her eyes. Jenna could even see guilt and regret in her eyes, which was something Vivian shouldn’t have felt at all in the first place.

A thought flashed across Jenna’s mind. She was confused.
