The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce - Chapter 337
Chapter 337: Chapter 336: Where Is Your Tutor
“There’s no need to talk anymore.” Amanda gave him a cold glance, “Daniel, don’t waste your effort, our relationship ends here.”
Daniel didn’t give up and wanted to say something, but James Leaford stopped him, “Sister has said it already, don’t you understand? Oh, right…”
James took out a bank card from his pocket and gave it to him. “This is the money you lent us when we bought this suite, including the interest, it’s all here.”
Seeing the card, Daniel’s face looked like it had been slapped hard.
He hadn’t really thought about what he said and didn’t expect any repayment.
But James’s actions were like drawing a clear line between them.
Just as he was about to refuse, Joshua snatched the card and stuffed it into his pocket, kindly advising, “Father, just take the card. You’ve already lost everything. Don’t disgrace us by ending up on the streets.”
Daniel choked on his words and coughed violently.
Ungrateful child, such an ungrateful child!
“Joshua, I’m your father!” Daniel’s anger soared. “How can you treat me like this?! What about your upbringing?!”
“Well, my upbringing is just what you taught me.” Joshua laughed indifferently.
Daniel clutched his chest, feeling dizzy with anger.
He knew that his son still held a grudge against him.
He resented Daniel for defending Gillian without any questions and for hurting Amanda.
He had become a lonely island, having lost his wife, and now even his son. Thinking about it made Daniel’s face turn pale and flushed.
At that moment, Jerry Jenkins, smiled at his own Michael Gallagher and whispered, “Brother, grandfather told me to take you home.”
The atmosphere became tense.
Everyone’s gaze shifted to Jerry, and upon seeing this fair-skinned, handsome man, they all gasped in surprise.
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, no one would believe that the idiot from the Jenkins family had actually recovered.
At the first sight of Jerry, Zoey Lambert felt like her head had exploded with a bang.
She thought of what Jerry had said.
She even suspected that Jerry had recovered long ago, but was just playing dumb all along.
Michael looked at the legendary brother and curled his lips into a disdainful smile.
The fox has finally shown its tail.
“Come back with me, there’s no overnight feud among family members.” Jerry seemed to ignore Michael’s expression and continued to smile softly.
“I won’t go back. Jerry, your goal has been achieved after playing this role for so long. Just go back and be the great young master of the Jenkins family.” Michael’s voice was cold, and his expression gave away nothing of his thoughts.
Jerry’s face still held a smile, but his clenched fist betrayed his emotions.
“What are you talking about? What role have I been playing? Who would want to pretend to have this kind of illness?”
“What a coincidence, my father has also pretended to be an idiot, but he got caught.” Joshua crossed his arms and laughed with sarcasm dripping from his words.
Daniel face suddenly turned dark.
This ungrateful child wouldn’t be satisfied until he had completely trampled his dignity underfoot.
Jerry looked at Daniel and thought of the news that he had Alzheimer’s a few days ago.
And now, looking at him, there was no difference between him and a normal person.
It was true, as Joshua said: Daniel was just faking his illness.
Jerry sensed a sharp gaze on him, raised his eyebrow, and looked back at the source, only to catch Zoey’s panicked expression in his eyes.
He winked at Zoey and gave her a dazzling smile.
Zoey instinctively took a step back.
James blocked his daughter behind him and glared at Jerry, saying, “Mr. Jenkins, you can leave now after saying what you wanted to say; we do not welcome you here.”
He had no good feelings for anyone in the Jenkins family except for Zachary Jenkins.
Especially Jerry, who seemed like a foolish and innocent person, yet had done so many evil deeds behind their backs.
Somehow, probably because of Daniel pretending to be ill earlier, James felt that this Jerry Jenkins was not as simple as he seemed on the surface.
Being rushed away like this by James, Jerry’s eyes narrowed, but he showed no signs of anger.
“Uncle Leaford, I was indeed ill before, and you didn’t want Miss Leaford to be married to me. Now that I’ve recovered, maybe you can consider…”
“There’s no need to consider!” Zoey’s trembling voice interrupted him.
She knew what Jerry was trying to say.
With Jerry’s gaze on her, she felt uneasy like a prey being hunted.
“It doesn’t matter whether you were sick or not, whether you were an idiot or not,” Zoey said with determination, her face pale, “I have a boyfriend now.”
After Zoey said this, everyone was stunned.
Had a boyfriend?
How could they not see it?
James thought she was trying to find an excuse and hesitated before saying nothing.
Zoey blushed as if trying to convince everyone, “He’s my senior, who has pursued me for years. I just recently agreed to be with him. We…are very happy.”
As soon as her words fell, the atmosphere turned ambiguous.
Jerry was still smiling, but his clenched fists revealed his emotions.
Pursued for many years.
Just recently…
Was it because of the imminent marriage with him that Zoey agreed?
“Congratulations, Cousin, bring him over next time and let us have a look,” Molly Walker glanced at Jerry and continued the conversation, in an attempt to ease the atmosphere.
At this moment, James finally understood that his single daughter was indeed in love.
No matter who that person was, it was better than being with Jerry.
With a relative like Mr. Jenkins, even if his eldest daughter marries into the family, their life would not be easy in the end.
“I’ve delivered the message,” Jerry turned to look at Michael, his voice becoming clear, “If you’re really willing to give up everything in the Jenkins family, just tell our grandfather or have a notary public confirm it.”
“I hope that you can still be so determined when you know the wealth left by your father,” With a meaningful look at Molly, Jerry slowly turned around and got into the car that had brought him here.
Molly’s heart skipped a beat.
A hand reached out and grabbed hers.
It was Michael’s hand.
Molly frowned, her lips moved, but she ultimately held his hand back.
She must find an opportunity to tell Michael about the Jenkins family and Master’s affairs.
For some reason, she always felt that if she didn’t explain this matter, something would go wrong sooner or later.
After Jerry left, Daniel finally had the chance to speak.
He stood in the middle of the crowd, his voice hoarse, “I know I’ve done a lot of wrong things.”
“Now, I’m not asking for your forgiveness, I just want a chance to make amends and start over.”
Cheating, faking illness, speaking cruelly – all those things had cost him face and were enough to make him a laughingstock among his peers and juniors for a lifetime.
But people must move forward. What if…Amanda was willing to give him a chance?
