Getting My Ex-wife Back

“Vivian, I will call an experienced doctor over,” Jenna said with tears in her eyes. She was barely smiling.

“Jenna, there’s no need for that. I know my own body. I won’t die yet.” Vivian patted Jenna’s hand and smiled faintly. “Do you have anything to say to me? ”

Jenna was stunned and she looked at Vivian. There was a gleam in her eyes. She seemed to guess their purpose for coming in. At this moment, she was calm, peaceful like a river, fearless of life and death. She was so calm that it made Jenna calm down too.

Sure enough, she was the most brilliant woman among the rich, the most outstanding woman among them. Although she was old, she was still composed in the face of life and death.

That temperament and composure were really not what ordinary people could have.

“Yes, I have something to say,” Jenna answered almost without thinking.

Facing such an experienced woman, even if they didn’t say it, she must know that they were hiding a secret.

“Go ahead, I’m listening.” Vivian smiled calmly.

“Grandma, the thing is, the medicine for your heart disease that you take every day has been secretly switched. That was why you had a heart attack over these two days,” Jenna told her the truth clearly and loudly.

Vivian narrowed her eyes and smiled.

“Is that all?” she asked lightly. “This is not new to me. I already knew.”

She had known about it long ago! Not only was Jenna stunned, even Meroy gasped.

Vivian was indeed not an ordinary person; she knew this and yet was still so calm.

Meroy secretly rejoiced that Jenna had told Vivian about the situation. Seeing Vivian’s confident expression, her heart became calmer.

“Actually, there is nothing unusual about this. I have been taking this medicine for several years. It tasted wrong these days,” Vivian seemed to understand their thoughts and explained with a smile.

Jenna and Meroy nodded as realization dawned on them.

“Grandma, do you have any idea who would switch your medicine?” Jenna asked. Since Vivian knew about it, perhaps she would know who was switching her medicine. She should have a vague idea in the least.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Vivian shook her head and replied with a heavy sigh, “In this world, there are always people who like you and people who don’t like you. People who don’t like you certainly have their reasons. It’s nothing more than what benefits them. I’m old. They want me to die. It’s not a surprise. However, I can’t watch Richards Manor get into trouble, nor can I watch my grandchildren be in danger. I don’t know who harmed me but for an old woman like me, it doesn’t make any sense to harm me unless they’re planning to snatch the things I hold in my hands. Let me elaborate another day.”

She spoke facts. Her voice was flat and it was no surprise to her.

Jenna lowered her head, feeling down.

“Grandma, you have to be careful from today onward. Richards Manor cannot continue on without you. You are the backbone of the manor, please stay safe,” Jenna urged.

“Don’t worry, Jenna, I have Meroy beside me. From now on, we will be more vigilant. As for you, thank you for taking care of the manor for me. Thank you very much.” Vivian smiled kindly. “I’m troubling you, my child. You have been wronged so much over the years, I can only thank you in my heart.”

“Grandma, don’t worry. I will do my best.” Jenna felt her heart ache. She reached out to squeeze Vivian’s hand and promised her.

Vivian nodded in satisfaction.

“Okay, go back to work. Don’t worry about me.”

Jenna saw that Vivian was tired from talking so much, therefore she walked out with Meroy.

As soon as they came out, she saw Aria walking in with Minnie.

“Meroy, is Grandma Richards awake? I’m here to visit her,” Aria asked Meroy sweetly, her face full of fake affection.

“Miss McAdams, we just went in to see Old Madam. She is very tired. I’m afraid she is not in the mood for guests. Plus, it is lunch break now. I would need to ask you to come back another time,” Meroy was in a bad mood, she forced a smile and replied.

“Well, that sucks. Hey, blame me for being anxious. I came to see her because I heard that she’s not feeling well. Since it is a bad time now, I mustn’t go in and disturb her.” Aria pouted her lips and then asked with a worried expression, “Jenna, is Grandma Richards okay? Nothing is wrong, right?”

Jenna met Aria’s stare and responded with a faint smile, “Miss McAdams, Grandma has always been in good health. There is nothing wrong with her. How can I not know if Vivian is uncomfortable? I don’t know where you heard this from. That’s weird.”

“Really? That’s great. It seems like I heard wrong. That’s good,” Aria was dumbfounded and she immediately put on a smile.

“Meroy, I’ll leave if there is nothing wrong. Please take care of Grandma,” Jenna shifted her glance to Meroy and said with a smile.

“Yes, Young Madam. Don’t you worry, I will take good care of Old Madam,” Meroy hurriedly replied. “Goodbye, Young Madam.”

Jenna smiled and walked out.

“Hey, Jenna. Wait up. I happen to be going back too. How about we go together?” Aria followed from behind and suggested with a smile.

Jenna smelled the perfume on Aria’s body and couldn’t help feeling sick. She just frowned and didn’t say much.

Just then, Sabrina came over in a car. Seeing Sabrina who was blushing, Jenna’s mood improved a lot and her nausea disappeared.

“Jenna, the designer has already left. Your idea is stunning, even the designer called it extraordinary. You are brilliant,” Sabrina said with admiration after getting out of the car.

“Jenna, it must be great to be in charge of the manor. You are busy all day long, so much that people really think you are the young madam of the Richards family.” Aria cleared her throat as she listened to Sabrina’s compliment for Jenna. Jealousy erupted inside her. She quickly said with a smile, sarcasm laced in her tone, “Hey, I was wondering, why does an outsider like you work so hard in handling the matters of Richards Manor? Anyway, you are already divorced. You’re not a member of this family anymore. In fact, you don’t have the right to do so either. People may find it funny. You can’t just get this title out of hard work.”

This was not only a stab in the heart and straight-up humiliation. Her words were very harsh and Sabrina felt very uncomfortable hearing them.

“Miss McAdams, why do you speak such ugly words? No matter what, Jenna was Hansen’s lawfully wedded wife, unlike some people who got pregnant while they were unmarried. Hansen was actually unwilling to marry that someone but then she forced the marriage by staying in his house. It’s so embarrassing.” Sabrina’s poisonous speech made Aria’s face flush red.

“Miss Sabrina, you are just a fiancée. I advise you not to be deceived by some people. It would be bad if you end up miserable like her.” Aria glared at Sabrina with frost in her eyes, her words sharp.

“Is it so? Jenna is so brilliant. I won’t have half her abilities even if I tried. Even women like the cars she designs. No one can match this talent, unlike some people who rely entirely on men. If they don’t get the man’s love, they would stick around in the man’s house. Hansen loves Jenna so much. How could it be miserable, right, Jenna?” Sabrina said while holding Jenna’s arm. She was smiling brightly like the sun.

Jenna smiled, looked at Aria’s reddened face, and said disdainfully, “Sabrina, why bother with some superficial and vulgar women? Talking to them is a waste of time. As the saying goes, if you do bad deeds, you will end up doomed yourself. It’s best to face the reality the earlier the better. In fact, we mustn’t do anything illegal lest we bring troubles to ourselves.”

Jenna remarked disdainfully while she slowly pulled Sabrina away.

Aria froze in place out of anger.

“Ms. McAdams, what did that horrid woman mean by what she said? Does she know something?” Minnie was frightened by Jenna’s words. After Jenna left, she asked out of guilt. She was having nightmares these days and when she woke up, she was soaked in sweat, and then she couldn’t sleep anymore. After a few sleepless nights, she was always in a daze. Besides, she had lost a lot of weight; even her face was pale.

“Useless thing, you’re as timid as a mouse. You are nothing.” Aria’s expression was ugly. Sabrina and Jenna had clearly won the battle earlier on. She was already in a terrible mood but Minnie made things worse. Jenna scared them on purpose but Minnie made a fuss out of it so quickly. It made Aria angrier.

“Did you do anything shameful? Did you do anything illegal?” Aria turned her head and asked.

“No, no, Ms. McAdams.” Minnie’s face went white and hurriedly shook her head.

“If you didn’t, why did you ask that? All your emotions are written on your face. You might as well be telling others that you have committed murder. A fish caught without bait. Understand? Since ancient times, whoever has done great things has been cruel, none as timid as you are,” Aria reprimanded her.

Minnie’s face flushed red and her heart trembled. She kept nodding her head and said, “Yes, you are right, Ms. McAdams.”

Aria snorted coldly and the cold light in her eyes flashed. Looking at Jenna’s back, her fists were clenched tight.

In the southern bedroom of Emerald Garden.

Norton was standing in front of the French windows, looking at the familiar scenery as a trace of panic and sadness blossomed in his heart. Despite his huge frame, he was limping like a dead soul inside. His eyes were clouded behind his lenses.

A red figure appeared like a ghost on the gravel pavement in the garden.

Norton’s body stiffened.

His fingers trembled slightly and his body shook inexplicably. Chills ran down his spine.

Soon, a knock was heard.

“Who is it?” he asked in a low voice.

“Master, Miss McAdams is here to see you,” the voice of Lily Clark, the servant, came from outside the room.

Norton stiffened and a hostile light flashed across his dark eyes. After a long time, he finally said, “Let her in.”

“Yes, Mr. Norton,” Lily responded and left.

After a while, Aria walked in gracefully, dressed in a luxurious ruby fur coat. It was one of a kind.

“Hello, Mr. Norton,” Aria greeted him with a smile before she sat down on the sofa without his invitation.
