CEO's Ex-wife Stunned the World

Chapter 114 Take Off the Jewelry

These thugs were local creditors of Connor.

A few of them directly entered Connor's house.

"Mr. James, Mr. Gresham. Why are you here?" Connor was still naked. And when he saw Bailey James and Rudolf Gresham, his face paled.

Bailey held a cigarette in his mouth and patted Connor on the shoulder. "Well, you're pretty good. You found such a beautiful girlfriend."

"That's right. Your luck with women isn't bad. She's so pretty that she's almost as beautiful as a superstar."

Although they felt that the woman just now was quite beautiful, no one could have imagined that the woman was the second daughter of the Reece family and Edwin's fiancée.

After all, this was a poor living area. How could a rich girl be here? And no one would believe that a rich girl

would have a relationship with a poor guy..

Connor's face was even paler, and his voice was a little weak. "No... How can that be? She's just an ordinary

classmate..."

"Classmate? Well..." the thugs laughed with disdain.

Connor's pants were not properly worn, so the thugs thought that he had done something exciting with that

woman.

"All right, stop talking nonsense. When are you going to pay back the money you owe?"

"Soon, I will do it soon," Connor replied as he took out cigarettes and lit them up for the thugs.

Ever since he had a relationship with Katelyn, he had spent all of his thoughts on her.

While he and Katelyn were together, although most of the expenses were paid by Katelyn, occasionally Katelyn would also act spoiled and ask him to send a gift. And even a bag would cost a lot. Connor was simply unable to bear it. He could only borrow money everywhere and already owed much more

usury.

"It has already been so many days since the deadline. At the very least, you have to return the interest." "Please. Please give me a few more days. I'm short on money these past few days."

"Seriously? You are in the mood to deal with women. How much will it cost to have that woman for a night?" They thought that such a beautiful woman was either a daughter of a rich family or a whore. Bailey thought that Katelyn must be a whore because Katelyn spent the night with Connor. "You are not allowed to insult her. She is a decent woman." Connor was angry.

Bailey was even more interested when he heard that. "Interesting. Can a proper woman sleep with you?

"In any case, you won't be able to pay back your money. Just let your girlfriend play with me. Then you don't have to pay the interest."

Connor blushed after hearing the words. He became angrier. "Bailey, don't joke like this."

"Then hurry up and return the money."

Several thugs pushed Connor. "How dare you talk to Mr. James like that?"

"Hurry up and pay the money back."

At the mention of returning money, Connor suddenly became discouraged because he didn't have the money. Although Katelyn was rich, Connor was a man after all. And he was embarrassed to ask Katelyn for money. Katelyn had already despised him for being poor. And if he were to ask for money, Katelyn would probably dislike him even more for being useless.

"Give me a few more days. I will pay you back."

"No, you have to pay it back today. You can't pay the money back today, but you have to pay the interest." Rudolf's eyes widened, and the muscles on his face trembled. "The interest is 5,000 dollars. Hurry up and pay

for it."

"I don't have any money now. Even if you kill me, I won't be able to have the money," Connor said.

"Kill you? In your dreams. After you die, our money will be lost.

"Why don't you invite your girlfriend over and play with me? If I'm happy, I'll waive your interest." Connor refused, "No, stop joking around."

Bailey said, "Who the hell is joking with you? Either pay back the money or let that girl accompany us."

"Give me a few more days. I will return the money. I beg you. At most three days. I promise to return the

money..."

The Keaton's place....

Katelyn hurriedly drove to the old residence of the Keaton family.

"Mr. Keaton. Ms. Reece is here." The butler led Katelyn into the house.

"Okay," Edwin responded coldly.

Katelyn looked at Edwin uneasily. "Edwin, here's your car key."

Edwin casually took it. "Grandma wants to see you."

"Oh, how is grandma? Is she better?"

Edwin didn't reply and only led the way with his long legs.

Soon...

Edwin brought Katelyn to Melina's room.

Under the care of the nurses and doctors, Melina moved from bed to wheelchair.

"Grandma. Katelyn came to see you," Edwin warmly said as he held onto Katelyn's shoulder as if he was very

close to Katelyn.

Melina was so sick now, and Edwin just wanted to make her happy.

"Grandma, are you feeling better now?" Katelyn bent down and greeted Melina.

"Yes, I am much better now." Melina looked at Katelyn. Her voice was hoarse and unclear.

Her health condition was worse. But before she died, she still wanted to see her grandson get married. In the past, although she didn't like Katelyn very much, after this big operation, she also wanted to see Katelyn.

It didn't matter if she liked Katelyn or not, as long as her grandson liked Katelyn.

"Edwin, go and bring my set of jewelry."

Edwin was stunned. "Which set of jewelry?"

"That set of emerald jewelry."

Edwin frowned when he heard this.

The set of jewelry was a dowry for Melina, and it was a family heirloom passed down from Melina's ancestors. Melina liked the jewelry very much and only wore it on important occasions. "Okay." Edwin reluctantly walked towards the safe.

He took out the set of jewelry.

"Grandma, here it is."

Melina took the box shakily and opened the jewelry box.

Inside the box, there were a pair of green bracelets, a pearl necklace, a pair of earrings, and a ring.

Any random item from the box was worth a lot. To such a complete set of antique emerald jewelry, it could no longer be measured with money.

Melina trembled as she stroked the jewelry. Her eyes were filled with gentleness. "This is my dowry. It was

passed down from my ancestors.

"Now, I will pass this set of jewelry to you. You have to keep it well."

When Katelyn heard this, she was instantly stunned. She said in a trembling voice, "Grandma..."

Melina said, "Come, I will put them on for you."

"Thank you, Grandma." Katelyn was so excited that tears flowed out of her eyes.

Melina picked up the bracelet and personally put it on Katelyn's wrist. Then, she put on the rest of the jewelry

for Katelyn.

Melina said, "Well, you look so beautiful. You are young. You make the jewelry look better."

Katelyn said, "Edwin, do you think it looks good?"

"Yes, you look beautiful." Edwin had a smile on his face, but he was extremely upset in his heart.

Now that Melina gave Katelyn that set of jewelry, it meant that Melina had already recognized Katelyn as

Edwin's wife.

But Edwin no longer had any love for Katelyn.

Melina continued, "After you two get married, you have to live a good life and have a child early." "Grandma, don't worry. I will let you have a great-grandson," Edwin said. After that, he deliberately hugged Katelyn's shoulder and kissed Katelyn on the forehead.

When Melina saw the two being so loving, she smiled more joyfully.

After Edwin kissed Katelyn, he faintly smelled a strange smell. He didn't like the smell of perfume, so Katelyn.

rarely sprayed the perfume in front of him.

Katelyn just had sex with Connor, but Edwin urged her on the cell phone to come, so she didn't have time to take a shower before she came. So the smell was lingering.

Edwin had an inexplicable suspicion in his heart. He subconsciously looked at Katelyn.

Edwin's suspicion grew even stronger. "Are you tired? Grandma, have a rest. I'll send Kate back."

"Good."

Edwin said to Katelyn, "Let's go."

"Goodbye, Grandma," Katelyn said to Melina.

Then, the two left Melina's room.

"Edwin, where are we going now?" Katelyn asked with a smile.

"I'll send you home," Edwin answered.

"What?" The smile on Katelyn's face dimmed.

"Get in the car."

"Okay."

The two got into the car, and Edwin drove out of the old residence without a word.

In the car...

Katelyn shot a glance at Edwin while feeling uneasy. After all, she felt guilty.

But she thought that today was funny. Melina finally recognized her identity as Edwin's wife.

Katelyn asked, "Where are we going?"

Edwin said, "I already said that. I'll send you home."

"Fine..."

"Take off the jewelry," Edwin said coldly.

Katelyn was stunned. "What? Edwin, what did you say?"

"Take off the jewelry.
