Chapter 13
Two years after getting married, I successfully secured my position.
The divorce agreement was placed on Eric’s desk.
After arriving at the company, I received a call from Eric.
He asked coldly, “What do you mean?”
I recalled, “Didn’t we have an agreement before we got married? Once I completely take control of the Jensen Group, we will divorce amicably. At that time, I will transfer 1% of the shares to you as a reward for your help.”
He sneered, “In your eyes, am I just a tool?”
I said patiently, “We had agreed on this, why don’t we end it now while we don’t have much emotional attachment?”
“No feelings?” Eric remained silent for a long time before asking this question in return.
I hesitated, “Yes, there are some…”
But they didn’t reach the level of a loving couple, did they?
I sensed his reluctance and advised, “Mr. Jacobson, let’s part on good terms. We have agreed on this and signed the agreement.”
Eric listened to the address, his voice becoming a bit darker, “Are you threatening me?”
But in the end, Eric was not an indecent person.
Three months later, all the procedures were completed smoothly, and the divorce was finalized.
After the message was sent out, my WhatsApp exploded with notifications.
Andy: “You got divorced?”
Lucas: Did my brother bully you?
Where are you? Can I come to find you?
Divorcing my brother was the right decision, he will never fall in love with a human.
Calvin: “I sang at the bar for a friend these past two days. Alice, do you want to come and relax by listening?”
Hugo: If you need a lawyer, you can come to me. I won’t charge you.
Me: “…”

I moved my fingers and blocked them.
My dad also called me many times, roughly meaning that, how could I let go of such a good man like Eric, what else can I hold onto, a good girl ended up with a divorced reputation, becoming a joke for others to laugh at
He said that if I were like this, he would return the group to him. Without Eric’s help, it would be difficult for me to manage the group.
It’s really funny, if we give it back to him, it won’t be long before the Jensen Group will be defeated by him and wel- come bankruptcy.
I dealt with it perfunctorily, which made him even angrier. He said that I had become arrogant now.
It did get hard indeed.
After all, it wouldn’t be long before I managed to get my hands on the last bit of shares he had.
I lazily lay on the beach and pushed my sunglasses down.
It was rare for me to take a divorce leave for myself, and I was already in Hawaii.
It had been a long time since I had felt so relaxed.
I looked over instinctively until a shadow fell beside me.
The juice in my hand spilled, I was shocked, “You, you’re taking a break too? Not working anymore?”
“Sure.” Eric raised his hand, signaling for a few people to set up a sun umbrella and beach lounge chair next to me.
I still didn’t believe it, so I asked tentatively, “Don’t lie to me, are there foreign clients here, doing business with clients here?”
“Chasing after my wife.” Three simple words that made my expression freeze.
I hesitated, “Could it not be me?”
“Can, he said succinctly.”
Aren’t we just in a pure business relationship?
I remained silent for a long time and said, “You have developed feelings for me over time.”
He came to a stop without leaving a trace, neither confirming nor denying anything.
“However…” I pondered the wording of my refusal.
He said in a low voice, “I’m not forcing you, I’m pursuing you.‘
I was stunned, finding it hard to imagine that these words were coming from the mouth of Eric, the pride of the high- lands.
Just then, I saw another figure, standing not far away, staring at me.

Eric’s voice turned cold: “How did he get here?”
I shrugged my shoulders, “Only you are allowed to come, not others?”
“Hmm,” the man beside me said indifferently, “There were indeed many who came looking for you.”
I turned around, “What?”
“On Lucas’s way over, I had my parents grab him and take him back,” Eric chuckled, “In a few days, we’ll just throw him out of the country.”
I paused, “What’s wrong?”
“I used to give him too much when we were young,” he said, his deep black eyes staring at me. “But not anymore.”
I couldn’t help but think of the rumors I had heard before.
Eric was strictly trained as the heir since he was young, while Lucas was spoiled and allowed to do whatever he want- ed.
I sincerely said, “You are much better than Lucas.”
Eric lowered his gaze, his voice slightly hoarse: “You have praised me so many times.”
I shrugged and said, “To be honest.”
The wind blew, causing ripples in the sea.
Andy didn’t come over, he just stood far away watching me.
As night fell, I returned to the hotel and found that Eric had booked the suite opposite mine.
When I was sleeping at night, I had a dream that I hadn’t had in a long time.
Unlike a few years ago, the emotions that spread in dreams are no longer sadness and despair, but relaxation and
calmness.
In my dream, I lived happily, just like now.
However… there has always been a question in my heart, who is the mysterious man, and why hasn’t he appeared yet?
The dream slowly disintegrated with this question, and then turned into another scene.
Eric said coldly, “I sent you abroad.”
Talia cried and shook her head, “They will find me! Please, save me… they won’t let me go.”
He furrowed his brows tightly and after a long time, he said, “Leave this place, I will find a bodyguard to prote you.”

Not long after, Lucas gritted his teeth and found Eric, asking, “Where did you hide her?”
Eric calmly asked, “Where is Alice?”
Lucas stopped abruptly and said after a moment, “In Andy’s arms.”
A dead silence.

Eric sneered, “You were the one who said you liked her in the first place, and told me to stay away from her. Is this how you treat her?”
Lucas sneered, “Eric, she just took back a collectible from me that she had taken from you before. Why are you so ob- sessed with her?”
***
I woke up suddenly.
So, the so–called “gold house hiding beauty” was just Talia’s way of trying to leave Lucas, so she asked Eric for help. and then the latter found someone to hide Talia?
I glanced at the time and it was morning.
I freshened up and then opened the door to go downstairs for breakfast.
I didn’t expect to see Andy in the restaurant.
He was waiting for me.
Andy sat across from me, and at that moment, another person sat down beside me.
Eric smiled ambiguously, “There are plenty of empty seats next to me.”
Andy nodded, “Compared to you clinging to your ex–wife, this is nothing.”
Me: “…”
Wasn’t the atmosphere tense with swords drawn and bows bent?
Eric hinted with a slightly cold voice, “Your friends are not reliable.”
“I had someone stop them,” Andy’s beautiful black eyes locked onto me.
Who?
Hugo and Calvin?
Won’t they come to find me as well?
No, were these people crazy!
Talia also insisted on coming to Hawaii with me, but I finally managed to refuse.

BR Wouchars
I could only shake my head helplessly.
Just then, a handsome blond guy at the next table smiled at me and greeted me in Spanish, complimenting me and asking if he could add me on contact.
Ignoring the two pairs of eyes next to us, the blonde handsome guy and I exchanged contact information.
I innocently smiled.
Well, although some people were annoyed, but…
I was very satisfied with my life now.
