OH PLEASE, MY EX-WIFE

Jacquiline's parents entrust his family to take care of Jacquiline when they left, a huge responsibility. Me and Janet failed miserably, Edward thinks.

But the thought of Alice, whom is getting more distant as time goes by, makes him struggle even more.

He won't be back anytime soon. Alice will definitely not miss him.

What Edward is thinking is written all over his face and Janet, can easily read it: he is thinking of Alice. Suppressing her own emotions, with her goal in mind, says, "That woman, the one who is been here for Jacquiline's hospitalization must also hope that Jacquiline can get better."Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Hit the snake seven inches below its head, Alice is Edward's weakness. Thinking of her sighing and frowning for Jacquiline, Edward agrees. Since he is powerless, he will do his best to take care of Jacquiline to make Alice happy.

The next day, Edward leaves with Jacquiline. This is the only thing he can do for Alice. He is very thoughtful.

As soon as they have left, Janet puts all her efforts on finding evidence.

Three days later.

"Miss Roberts, you have been charged with hit and run, please follow us. "The police take Alice straight from her own clinic.

"Officer, I don't understand what is going on?" asks Alice after a moment of panic.

Getting questioned by the police is bad already, let alone being charged for a serious crime. She hasn't driven for a month. How could that happen? She wonders.

"Three days ago a car crash occurred in front of a coffee shop and surveillance cameras filmed the scene. After further investigation we found physical evidence of your presence on the spot. Please cooperate with us." Three days ago, Jacquiline's car crash. It cannot be, she is being accused of hit and run on Jacquiline. How could it be?

"Officer, there must be a mistake. Jacquiline and I are very close friends. I am not the one who caused the accident." "Then you must have an alibi."

Alice is astounded. She did not see it coming. She was alone. No one could vouch for her. The bag was indeed hers, and the car too.

Luckily she knows for sure that she didn't leave the house that day, or else she seriously thought she caused Jacquiline's accident.

A conspiracy yet again, same as five years ago when Edward publicly confessed his love for her and broke off the engagement. The same powerless feeling arises, disgusting her to the bones. No matter how many times she faces this, she will always be frightened.

However, this time someone is targeting her and not her family, her frail elderly mother and her two children seem to be safe for now.

Alice actually feels relieved. Since Joanna threatened her to kill her mother last time, she has been worried to death all the time. She is relaxed, weirdly relaxed. It could have been worse, right?

The mind goes to her lovely kids. Alice calls John Blake before going with the police, asking him to take care of the children without giving many information. She does not want him to worry too much. The situation is dead serious but Alice is strong and keeps her cool from the start, not like many others would do.

Alice has a big family, but no one would stand for nor with her. John might do, but nagged him so many times and that is not fair, she thinks.

On the contrary, Janet has a squad, the whole Smith's family with the help of Joanna. The scariest thing is that there are evidence of the crime.

In the courtroom, Alice is not given a chance to defend herself. She is found guilty without appeal and sentenced to three years.

Without chances, she is judged.

Alice smiles sadly. She always gets beaten by these great families. They can do with her life whatever they want.

She has no idea where the car is gone but for sure she is not the one driving that day.

Handbag? Alice gets memories of Joanna's reaction in her clinic when she met her.

Thinking of this, she looks in the crowd to find Joanna, sat far away, beautiful, gentle and virtuous as ever. The truth is Joanna is a snake choosing her prey.

The handbag, the car, and some unknown witness, bear the mark of the snake. Most likely, even the car crash has been caused by Joanna. What a terrible woman.

In five years she has left too many traces. She should have disappeared, became more independent and capable, then she could have turn the table and make Joanna suffer.

She is grateful that Joanna did not strike when she was pregnant and weak.

"Alice, do you know what I mean when I say this is the end of the road?" Joanna walks to Alice side while she is taken away to brag.

Alice bites hard her own lips and stares at Joanna menacingly. She won't beg for mercy nor bow to her. She just says calmly, "The truth is in the person's mind, if I committed the crime or not, you know well. Joanna, you cannot hide it forever!"

These words make Joanna smile, and looking back at her with arrogance. The trial was done very quickly and Alice is still wearing the white coat, "Is that so? You just sit tight in prison thinking of your bad deeds. That is right! No one will come to rescue you. Edward is abroad and has no idea of what is happening right now. By the time he is back, your case will be dismissed and you will be long gone. Have a nice time in jail!

"You!" Alice puts up with everything, but not this time. An irrepressible anger pervades her "Why are you doing this!"

"Why! Alice, you can't be serious?" Joanna laughs as she just heard a joke, but her eyes are more vicious than ever, "You had it coming, I warned you, leave Edward alone and I let you be. But no, you did not listen to me, here come the consequences!" Edward!

Again because of Edward!

"I never thought of getting back with Edward!" Alice shouts out. Perhaps she still has feelings for him, but she kept distance because of these things, she feared for her family and her own safety.

Back then, Joanna has shown the real meaning of cruelty and power.

And now again...

Desperation invades Alice. Is she really going to stay in jail for three interminable years?
