Defeating My Ex-Husband by Tracy Estrada ( Colton Zeller )

Chapter 17 What You Owe Me 

Staring at the same old Colton, Francesca suddenly laughed and said, “Ten billion. Do you have it?” 

Colton put down the pen in his hand and looked at Francesca with a frown. 

Even without speaking, Francesca understood his meaning. Don’t be ungrateful, eh? Is that what he’s telling me?If it were in the past, I would have definitely felt nervous because of his expression. Now, I’m no longer afraid of him. 

“It’s been five years, and you still didn’t improve one bit, Mr. Zeller. What else can you do besides throwing money around?” Francesca sarcastically stood up and said. 

Inside the quiet villa, they stood facing each other across a tea table. The atmosphere was momentarily stagnant. 

Colton looked at Francesca, who was confronting him tensely, and felt a strange sensation in his heart. It feels like only this version of her is the real one. 

“Do you like Yoel?” Colton looked at Francesca coldly with a sharp look. 

The Zeller and Zabielski families could not be considered enemies. However, their relationship was far from harmonious. He would not allow Francesca to have any involvement with the Zabielski family.” 

It was especially because Francesca was still the one who escaped his control. 

Francesca was infuriated by his attitude and sneered, “So what if he likes me? At least Yoel knows what respect means.” 

After she finished speaking, she was about to leave. However, Colton, with

a gloomy face, grabbed her. 

Francesca swiftly brushed his hand away with a vigilant gesture, frowning at him. “What are you trying to do?” 

Fury swept through Colton’s mind. He couldn’t accept Francesca escaping his control time and time again. More importantly, he absolutely wouldn’t. allow her to say she liked another man in front of him! “Yoel is a playboy. Aren’t you picky about that anymore?” Colton stared into Francesca’s eyes as he spoke. 

The distance between the two was extremely close, so much so that Francesca could even feel the warmth of his breath. 

Colton could also feel Francesca’s enchanting figure. In that familiar villa, the scenes from five years ago seemed to surge into his mind once again. 

Francesca’s face flushed with anger as she glared at Colton. “We’re already divorced! Even if I were to marry Yoel tomorrow, it’s none of your business!” 

Before she could finish speaking, Colton suddenly kissed her furious lips. 

Slap! 

A crisp and resounding slap interrupted the intimate atmosphere. Colton felt a sharp pain on his left cheek, and Francesca had already struggled to free herself from his embrace. 

“This slap is what I should have given you years ago. Back then, I must have been out of my mind to tolerate your nonsense.” Francesca’s eyes welled up with tears. Her voice was tinged with anger. Colton’s actions. reminded her of everything that had happened five years ago, fueling her 

rage even more. 

For the first time in Colton’s life, someone dared to lay a hand on him.

Chapier 

His face was terrifyingly dark as he stared at Francesca, his emotions. churning beneath his gaze. 

Francesca fearlessly glared back and said. “No matter what purpose Mr. Zeller had in bringing me here, I hope this’ll be the last time.” 

Even though tears were brimming in her eyes moments ago, Francesca had already composed herself and looked at Colton with indifference. “Now that you have a loving wife and child, I’m no longer the target for your emotional outbursts. Don’t come looking for me anymore.” 

Colton suddenly tugged at his tie, revealing a smile full of aggression. “Francesca, no one can escape my control.” 

Francesca didn’t intend to argue with him. She fiercely stepped on his toes with her high heels and seized the opportunity to escape. She didn’t even forget to grab the car keys from the table as she left. 

Driving away from the villa area, Francesca finally let out a long, stifled breath. Colton, you’re still as terrible as ever! 

After callously parking the car in a shopping mall’s parking lot in the bustling downtown area, Francesca called her driver. Then, she instructed him to return the car keys to the Zeller family tomorrow. 

After returning to the apartment, Francesca felt exhausted. After washing up, she fell into a deep sleep. 

She didn’t wake up until the next morning.
