OH PLEASE, MY EX-WIFE

Edward looks darker and gloomier, notices Janet. The imprint of the five fingers was on his pretty face. Janet eyes are crossed by fierce feelings while she takes out a recorder and shoves it under Edward's nose. She smacks her lips and goes, "I told you she is a bad woman, haven't I? Don't take my words for true if you wish, just listen it yourself."

Edward doesn't grab the recorder and Janet is indifferent. She just places it on the coffee table and waits for some kind of reaction. Her objective has been achieved. She gets up, stares at May, and leaves. Edward looks at the recorder on the coffee table for a long time and in the end, he presses play.

He recognizes the voice of Alice straight away.

Every word was like a needle in his heart.

She definitely doesn't love him anymore.

Alice at the villa is about to burst into tears because of her confession. She is dead worried about Albert and Rebecca and Edward's deception saddens her very much. The children. Her children...

"Look how brave the newly released prisoner is, already showing herself in the streets!" A sharp and mean woman's voice rings, calling Alice back to reality. The arrogant Joanna. Alice ignores her trying to walk past to go and find her children.

Joanna plants her feet in front of Alice blocking her way. Seeing Alice's worried expression makes her particularly satisfied, "Where are you going so fast?"

"None of your business." Alice replies coldly.

"Tsk tsk, aren't you a fugitive? How bad would be if I call the police now? Don't you dare talk to me like that!"

Her words bring pain and anger to poor Alice. She ended up in this terrible situation because of Joanna, but despite this, Joanna continues to make fun of Alice as if nothing had happened. "Joanna, between us the criminal is you, and you know it well. The truth will one day come out!"

Joanna smiles at the sound of those words, "Seriously? Do you really think anyone will ever believe you? Or maybe you think Edward will come to save you? Forget about it! He can't even protect himself now!"

Alice's shiny teeth sink into her lower lip, her eyes half closed. The thought of Edward unable to protect Albert and Rebecca and their disappearance hidden for three days is unbearable. "Edward no longer concerns me." "What an indifferent bitch you are! I wonder what Edward would say hearing this." Joanna is sweet and compassionate, but it's all fake. Her eyes reveal the fierce truth: disdain and contempt.

Alice tries once again to leave, but Joanna's words make her stop, "Are you not worried about your children?"

"Do you know where they are?" Alice approaches Joanna so close that she can feel her breath on her face.

And Joanna, seeing Alice trembling, is filled with joy. She deliberately says slowly, "What if I do know?"

"Tell me where they are!"

"And why on Earth would I do that?" Asks back Joanna arrogantly.

Alice grits her teeth. No matter how Joanna humiliates her, she has to be polite for the sake of her children. What choices does she have?

"...Please, tell me, where can I find them?"

Joanna smiles, looks at Alice condescendingly, and asks amusedly, "What did you say? Is that how you cry for help?"This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Alice clasps her hands tightly, looks at Joanna, bows her head, and humbly asks, "What do you want me to do?"

"If you need help, you should beg, kneel down and maybe, I'll consider your request." Joanna says complacent and completely aware of the comings and goings of people around them. She does that only to shame her publicly. "You..."

"That is how you show your love for your children? Wouldn't you trade your life for them? If so, kneeling to know where they are is not that bad, am I right?" Joanna sneers, staring at Alice's stubborn lip being pierced by her own teeth. She looks as she is about to jump over and break at the same time.

"If I kneel, would you tell me?"

"It depends on my mood." Drags Joanna. She looks at Alice, and adds a sentence slowly, "If you don't want to kneel, I understand. You do not want to find your children for real."

There are a lot of people on the street, and there are people constantly walking by them. The sun is very high. She cannot see Joanna properly but what she can see is that Joanna is beautifully dressed, elegant and noble, while she... She just has a white T-shirt. Lined with pale jeans, one looks like a princess and the other looks like a maid.

Oh, any man would choose Joanna.

Nonetheless, she is a real princess.

Yes, shouldn't it be right if a maid kneels down before a princess?

Kneel, kneel, Alice, do it for your children!

This is hard. Joanna made several attempts to her and the child's life. She has to swallow her pride and forces herself kneel.

Joanna giggles at the scene, triumphantly, watching Alice' knees slowly bend down...

Just when Alice is about to kneel, a man pulls her up, faces to Joanna, and says with a smile, "What a coincidence, I would never have expected to meet Miss Hale here."

"Randall Collins, you should carefully choose to which people you show your mercy to." Joanna knows the man too. After all, he is the infamous dandy of this city. Besides Edward, Randall Collins and Shane are the most dreamed of by thousands of girls. Shane comes from a political family and rarely appears in public. However, Randall Collins is always hanging around, making materials for gossips and scandals.

Randall Collins stepped in obviously because of Alice and that makes Joanna fuming. What will there ever be in this girl that drives all men crazy...

"Did you know Alice used to be my father's specialist doctor? Seeing her here, I had to give her my regards." Randall Collins smiles, as a true gentleman. Joanna sneers. She doesn't believe any of his words. A playboy and a whore who lies with anyone are perfect match, "If you say so, I'll leave you alone then!" Joanna turns to leave, just to be called out by Alice, "Where are they?"

"Want to know? Then go back to where you belong!"

Joanna walks towards the red sport car, with sunglasses on and extreme disgust drawn on her face. Alice will soon be in jail...she thinks.

Alice can't understand what Joanna meant with that sentence.

Randall Collins's eyes dim a bit at the sound of Joanna. It is well known that she, one way or another, will have her vendetta. Alice took her man away, she is lucky to be alive.000000
