“I have other work to do and <b>a </b>child at home,” I declined politely.


    I danced until after <b>six</b>, then went home<b>, </b>showered, and began studying Englysian.


    Thinking about Jared and Tracy’s heartfelt duetst time, I vowed to learn Englysian well. I thought, ‘One day, I’ll pull a handsome guy and sing a romantic song in Englysian right in front of Jared<b>–</b><b>as </b>a form of poetic justice.’


    Jared didn’t return home tonight, which didn’t surprise me. I thought, ‘With Yvonne not here, there’s no one he <b>cares </b>enough about at home.”


    For three consecutive nights, it seemed Jared spent them elsewhere. I mused, ‘So his im of having no involvement with Tracy was just him treating me like a fool.’


    Men who were wealthy, attractive, and had abundant resources were always hunters. If it wasn’t Tracy, there would be someone else. Since Jared was a hunter, he would never stop chasing his prey for the thrill of it.


    And I had decided to join the game as a hunter, too. But first, I wanted a divorce–to be single and hunt honorably. Right now, my top priority was ending this marriage.


    I thought, “Tracy is really letting me down! In my previous life, she was already pregnant at this time and had an abortion to win Jared’s affection and sympathy.


    Jared pped a divorce agreement in my face when I least expected it. Now, I had been waiting for that agreement, and my patience was wearing thin.


    I called my private detective again to check on the progress. The detective grumbled that he hadn’t captured anything sensational yet.


    Suddenly, a bold idea popped into my head. I offered an extra 15 thousand dors to have them tail Jared for any juicy details<b>. </b>


    He might be shifting his affections; if they couldn’t catch him with Tracy, maybe they should catch him with someone else. I just needed evidence.


    The detective eagerly thanked me, promising to get the job done.


    As for the divorce settlement, I definitely nned to fight for my share. I wasn’t noble enough to leave with nothing. After experiencing the perks of wealth and power, I knew I couldn’tpletely let go.


    Beautiful women were often a product of wealth–discipline could maintain their figure, but money let them stand tall and proud. Money was my backbone, supporting me through all adversities.


    Jared had worked hard over the years, but I ran this household; even if it didn’t earn me merit, it certainly came with its own struggles. I wanted everything I deserved.


    As night fell, a sudden rainstorm hit. I stepped out of the temporary office at Harmonia Hotel without an umbre, but my <b>car </b>was parked far away.


    All my colleagues had left already; I was thest to leave. I decided to wait until the rain died down before making a dash.


    The rain lightened up, and I lifted my skirt, ready to run. Just then, a silver Bentley stopped in front of me, and Jared got out holding a ck umbre. “Let me drive you home,” he offered.


    I wasn’t expecting him to show up and immediately reached for his umbre. “Can I borrow this? I’ll return itter.” With


    that, I took his umbre and headed toward my <b>car</b>.


    Jared’s <b>expression </b>was slightly <b>stiff </b>as he got back into <b>his </b>car. Momentster<b>, </b><b>the </b>silver Bentley disappeared into the rain.


    When I got home, Jared had given the two maids the night off, leaving dinner for me to make.


    Just <b>as </b>I was about to refuse<b>, </b><b>Jared </b>said, “If you don’t want any trouble, just cook some noodles. It’s been a long time since I had your cooking.”


    I thought, Jared often gives the maids time off–what a considerate employer.‘


    I went into the kitchen and cracked three eggs, mixing them. Suddenly, Jared’s body pressed against me from behind, and he kissed the back of my neck. “Or we could eatter?” he suggested.


    I turned my head to look at him, and Jared leaned in to kiss me. I immediately pushed him away.


    Jared’s eyes darkened. The next moment, he ignored my struggles, picked me up, and carried me to the sofa.


    “Are you crazy? Here?” <b>I </b>was both angry and annoyed.


    Jared suddenly opened a nearby box, revealing a neatly arranged stack of gleaming gold bars.


    Seeing my stunned expression, Jared leaned down and kissed the corner of my lips. “Is it okay now?” he asked.
