Chapter 225: Chapter 225



.

Jayden let the maid leave, and when she did, he walked over to Jolene and said, “Your brother found out about Victoria and assumed she was my mistress. He was very angry about it.”

“He didn’t hurt her, did he?” Jolene sat up startled.

She knew her brother was quick tempered and cared a lot about her, so no doubt he would be furious with Victoria and might hurt her.

“He didn’t do anything to her, but the truth of his existence can’t be hidden.”

Jolene breathed a sigh of relief. It was great to hear that nothing had really happened. If Jeffery had done anything she would feel guilty in front of Victoria. Even though he had promised her at the time that she would become Jayden’s wife for the money and bear the child, she knew she had no choice. After getting along with her for almost a year, he understood her a little and knew she was actually a good woman.

“What exactly do you want to do?” Jolene could tell Jayden was about to say something.

“Let’s take this opportunity and get a divorce.”

Jolene naturally wants a divorce, but she still had some concerns, “This isn’t fair to you.”

After all, if he cheats, he would be seen as the guilty party, and the family would certainly blame him then.

“Things end up like this, there’s no going back. With the existence of this child, they couldn’t do anything to me, even if they are angry with me,” he said.

Even the Harris Family was upset that he had made a mistake, but this child was his and Jolene’s, so even if the Harris Family was irritated, there wasn’t much they could do about it.

After some thought, Jolene had no better idea to fix it and said, “Okay.

But I’m really sorry that it might be a little unfair to you.”

“That’s okay. Don’t beat yourself up about it,” Jayden was really calm now. Actually, it was a good thing he could end this whole mess.

Divorce Jolene and marry Victoria. The child was theirs and they could take good care of the child together as he grew up.

“You have a plan, then just carry it out.”

“It’s a blessing for him to have a mother by his side,” Jolene said as she let out a long sigh and looked at the crib.

A mother’s companionship, more than social status, was the most important thing to a child.

Jayden was ready to call home after dealing with Jolene. The door to the living room was forced open and Jeffery walked in.

He pretended nothing was wrong and asked Jayden, “You didn’t say anything in front of Jolene, did you?”

He didn’t want Jolene to know that Jayden had another woman.

“What brings you here, brother?”

Jolene’s heart skipped a beat and she reached down to take the child in her arms, for she was worried that he might find out something and hurt the baby.

But, in Jeffery’s opinion, her action was a reflection of the love she felt for her son. Despite her discomfort, she wanted to be kind to her son.

“I have something to tell you, come out with me,” he told Jayden.

“Say it here if you have something to say.” Jolene suspected that Jeffery was pretending to be quiet and wondered if he would hurt Jayden by asking him to come out.

“Women can’t listen to men’s conversations.”

“What, even I can’t talk to your spouse for a while?” asked Jeffery to his sister as he looked at her.

“No, bro,” she said.

“I just have to talk to him, stay here.” Jeffery snuggled into his sister’s shoulder.

But she was still uneasy about it.

“It’s okay, he probably has something serious to tell me. He just doesn’t want you to listen to him and worry,” Jayden reassured her.

“However…”

“Stop it.” Jeffery was getting impatient and interrupted Jolene.

“I’ll be outside the room waiting for you.” Jeffery walked out of the room after saying that.

“Don’t worry.” After saying a few words, Jayden followed him out. At that moment he wondered what Jeffery had to tell him.

Jeffery took the lead as the two advanced to the end of the hallway and made their way to the silent staircase. “Did you tell Jolene?”

Jayden answered no as he shook his head.

“That’s wonderful. They still have to stay happily together for the child’s sake. ” Jeffery was no longer as irritated as before, and was now calm.

“I’ve looked into that woman.”

“She’s not someone from B-Town, but from Podon. She’s just a woman from a small town who doesn’t deserve your attention. Stay happily with my sister,” Jeffery leaned against the wall.

Jayden frowned and said in his icy voice. “Have you checked her out?”

“An ordinary woman. She’s pretty and doesn’t come from a poor family. But she’s just facing hardship and you paid her to be your mistress. Nothing more than that.”

The investigators could not determine whether the person who provided the money to Victoria was a man or a woman. They were limited to saying that Victoria received some money and traveled to B-town.

Jeffery must have assumed that the money was provided to her by Jayden.

As he could see, their relationship…

He was not surprised to see a wealthy man having affairs with women. But this lady could not stay close to him for the sake of both families, or for the happiness of his sister.

Jayden narrowed his eyes and sensed something was wrong as Jeffery was too calm.

“What exactly did you do to him?”

“I’m not sure what you’re talking about, but please treat my sister kindly…”

Jayden quickly exited before Jeffery finished his sentence. When he pushed open the door to Victoria’s living room, it was empty and bare.

“Did you do something to her?” he asked Jeffery, who had followed him.

Jeffery walked over and looked at the empty room. He stretched out his hands and muttered, “Where did she go, how should I know?”

“You didn’t hide the person and then come back and say I kidnapped her, did you?” Jayden asked.

Jeffery would never admit that he had kidnapped Victoria.

“Tell me, what did you do to her?” Jayden lost control and grabbed Jeffery’s collar.

“Jayden, what proof do you have that I kidnapped her? Besides, who knows if it was you who hid her to protect her and claim that I had kidnapped her?”

“Maybe she ran away herself. Anyway, I didn’t kidnap her. I don’t have that kind of time,” Jeffery shot back.

Jayden glared at him and walked into the house. The only place to hide people in this small room was the bathroom, but there was no one inside. There was no sign of a fight in the house, there was no sign of a struggle in the bed, with all this, they could see Victoria had not been taken by force.

But where was she?

She had no friends or family in B-town.

“Is she really missing?” Jeffery leaned against the door and said with a mocking look.

Jayden ignored him.

Just then his phone rang. He pulled it out and Victoria’s name appeared on the screen. Victoria had not yet given birth at that time, so they kept each other’s phone number so they could contact each other.

“Where are you?” she said as she quickly picked up the phone.

“I’m not here anymore. Stop looking for me.”

“What did you say?” Jayden’s hand at his side curled into a fist.

“How can I marry you if I don’t love you?”

Jayden’s heart sank as he held the phone “Would you please tell me where you are, I’ll come find you and we’ll have a clear face-to-face conversation.”

“I…I found out I still love my ex-boyfriend. He doesn’t care, I…”

Jayden clenched his fist around the phone. He held the phone so tightly he wanted to smash it.

“I don’t believe that…”

“What’s the point of not believing?”

Jayden was speechless, as if his spirit was out of his body. She had promised him.

Had she left?

Had she left with her ex-boyfriend?

What she had promised him was all a lie, wasn’t it?

Jeffery looked at him and smiled weakly before leaving the room.
