Ye Lu, you’ll pay for this!

...

Little did Ye Lu know, her single text message had gotten Third Young Master Jun shot.

Back at the Shang Family mansion, she saw the flirtatious text message from Third Young Master Jun, and she was furious.

This man actually thought of her as his possession, thinking he could sleep with her whenever he wanted, like she was one of his concubines?

Her situation was already difficult enough. All her energy needed to be focused on the Shang Family and on dealing with Ye Wanli. She didn’t have time to deal with him. Besides, she despised this domineering, cruel, and frightening man. She never wanted to interact with him again in her life.

She might as well make a clean break of it.

Before, she dared not to resist. Once she annulled the marriage with the Shang Family, she would have no one to rely on.

But now, Old Sir Shang had acknowledged her identity, and she had even become a director of the Shang Family. Third Young Master Jun wouldn’t dare to lay a finger on her now.

So, she gritted her teeth and wrote the message, sending it straight away.

For a long while, the man didn’t respond or call to threaten her. She breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Third Young Master Jun didn’t care that much about her. After all, he had already had her, and the thrill was probably gone.

Ye Lu held the documents she got from Ye Wanli. She would have to use this information strategically.

At night, after dinner and a shower, she prepared to stay overnight at the hospital. Madam Shang had fallen ill, and Old Sir Shang was pitifully alone in the hospital. As a family member, she hoped to provide some comfort to the old man by staying with him.

Just as she was about to leave, Shang Jingchen stormed in with Yuan Jiayin, his face pale with fury.

He threw the newspaper right at her face.

"Ye Lu, I already discarded you at the church, yet you’re still shamelessly sticking around. You’ve been fooling my grandfather, getting the shares of the Shang Family transferred to you, and even becoming an executive director. Could you be any more despicable?

I won’t let you have your way. Tomorrow, you and I will divorce! I will kick you out of the Shang Family and you won’t get a single penny." Shang Jingchen’s eyes burned with rage, glaring at her.

The newspapers fell from Ye Lu’s face one by one. Since she’d agreed to Old Sir Shang, she had been prepared for Shang Jingchen to detest her.

One year. She only had to endure for one year.

"I promised Old Sir Shang that I won’t divorce you within a year."

Yuan Jiayin’s face turned sour, Old Sir Shang actually forbade Jingchen and Ye Lu from divorcing within a year?

That old man really had quite a few tricks up his sleeve.

Shang Jingchen sneered, grabbing her chin tightly: "Don’t think about it. Even if I have to drag you, we will go tomorrow. Don’t think that by convincing my grandfather, you have control over my life. If I want a divorce, you must divorce!"

"Up to you!" Ye Lu pushed his hand away with a blank face.

Then she headed towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Shang Jingchen yelled in rage, this woman dared to ignore him.

"To the hospital to see Old Sir Shang!"

"What did you say? Stop! Explain clearly. Why is my grandfather in the hospital?" Shang Jingchen’s face changed drastically, gripping her hand tightly with a sharp look in his eyes.

Ye Lu turned around, looking at him sarcastically: "Do you still care about whether your grandfather is dead or alive? Old Sir Shang had a stroke at the wedding and was taken to the hospital. He’s been in critical condition several times. Yet you, his grandson, didn’t even come back to visit him. Shang Jingchen, you really are hard-hearted!"

Shang Jingchen was shocked, his face turned pale.

How could his grandfather be so seriously ill? His phone had been lost, and his family couldn’t contact him at all. He had thought he would wait until his grandfather and mother calmed down before returning, but he had never expected such a big change. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Grandfather, Grandfather...He was terrified.
