Ex-wife, Please Come Back

At the thought of Jacob, Jonathan's mind returned to the news. Everyone now knew that the woman was Alice.
She loved Jacob so much, and that was the reason why Jonathan looked down upon her. To his surprise, she managed to push
Jacob off the cliff.
She did that without hesitation. Jonathan realized this in an instant. With a sharp exhaling, he let go of her.
"Well, I called you here today to talk about the wedding. Just so you know, I have a busy schedule, but I'd be unhappy if you
didn't come. Forgive me for being too impulsive just now. Please don't take what had just happened to heart."
Alice did not usually pay much attention to him, but Jonathan's words made sense. Nevertheless, their relationship was far from
reaching the point of marriage.
However, they were going to get married soon. They even intended to invite Jacob to come. The first step of their ploy had
started.
What Alice wanted to see most was Jacob's expression when he saw her marry another man. Not to mention, the man was his
archenemy. Jacob would probably drop his jaw when that happened, and she would pay to see that.
Would he be sad, happy, or stunned, or indifferent when that moment came?
Alice could not guess what his reaction would be. In all honesty, she was actually afraid to face him. After all, Jacob probably no
longer cared about her at all.
How ironic! Just so she could see the look of regret on his face, she would bet her lifetime happiness on it. To make things
worse, the results were yet to be known.
Alice had already regretted it. Sadly, her regret meant nothing now.
"Sure. I'll forget what happened today," she replied indifferently after a long pause.
The smile on Jonathan's face did not fade away. It turned out that he did not have to lower himself to be on the same level as
her. His story with her had just begun.
Since they were not married yet, Jonathan was a little afraid of offending her. Once they were husband and wife, he would have
a way to deal with her.

But now was not the right time to break up with her. He should not give her tit for tat yet.
"Well, let's discuss our wedding, shall we? I called you her today, so that we could discuss about that." As Jonathan spoke, his
grip tightened on her shoulder.
Alice tilted her head and looked at his hand. Ever so slowly, she pushed his hand down. The last thing she wanted to see was
the obscene look on his face and to feel his hands on her.
Sadly, she had no choice but to face such a man in the future. She coughed slightly at the thought of it.
"Go ahead. I'm listening."
Alice's tone was cold and indifferent. Until now, she was still uncomfortable with what had happened. She had never been
humiliated like that before!
If anyone else knew about it, they would definitely laugh at her.
On the other hand, she did not love this man either. That would explain why she was not qualified to demand loyalty from him.
Jonathan did not seem to care about Alice's attitude, and it showed on his sly smile. "I just want to tell you that I've already set a
date. I'll ask someone to arrange it. All you have to do is to cooperate with me."
Upon saying that, he sat down and put his legs on the table in front of him, which made him look so unruly.
Alice looked at him in utter shock. 'Why did he not tell me first?' She bit her lips and looked at him, an undisguised astonishment
in her eyes.
"You... I... Jonathan..." Alice could not even say a comprehensible sentence. It seemed that he thwarted her plans without him
knowing.
It took her a moment to calm down. She looked at Jonathan and asked, "Of course you're the boss. Anyway, have you notified
others already?"
On her face was bitter smile. She did not even know when her own wedding would be.
"Not yet. Why would I if I haven't told you? We're not in a hurry anyway. For now, I think the most important thing to deal with is
Jacob."

Jonathan voiced out his inner thoughts frankly. Since Alice loathed Jacob to the core, there was no need for him to hide those
things from her.
"Okay," Alice replied. For some reason, her eyes were filled with tears. It seemed like she and Jacob were indeed going to end in
this way.
At the mention of Jacob's name, she was at a loss. Although she had been waiting for this moment, she still did not know how to
face it. After all, he left a deep mark in her life that nobody else could make.
The more she thought how significant he had been, the more unbearable everything felt.
Alice had suffered endless humiliation from Jonathan. Even so, she thought that it was worth it. Unfaithful people must be
punished the most in this world. This was how she felt about Jacob.
"Leave it to me to tell him to attend the wedding. Knowing him, he'll definitely come. You can humiliate him by then. Show the
repercussions he'll have to suffer when the time comes."
Alice clenched her hand fiercely. She was starting to feel desolate again. Fortunately, she was able to regain her composure and
make up her mind the next moment.
"I want you to invite him. If I do this instead, I'm pretty sure he'll refuse me right away. Besides, I don't want to see his face. Well,
it's not only because I hate him, but also our relationship is... stiff."
Jonathan looked at Alice with cynical eyes. It seemed that he was just joking as there was no hint of seriousness in his eyes.
"I think Jacob failed you the most. As the woman who loved him deeply in the past, you can attest that he deserves to live a
miserable life."
Jonathan crossed his arms on his chest, which made him look somewhat formidable. Perhaps Jacob's name reminded him of
many unpleasant things? Was it the humiliation and unwillingness that he had suffered before?
With an inexplicable look in his eyes, he gazed at Alice. Logically speaking, he hated her too.
Well, Jonathan thought that once a person had something to do with Jacob, that person would have to share the blame for the
rest of his life. This was what led Jonathan to hate Alice.

To be frank, he had already known her existence long ago. Even so, he figured that Alice had no idea what indeed happened, so
he did not think about it too much.
"Don't think highly of yourself. I agreed to marry you not only because of Jacob. In fact, I've sworn to myself that no matter what
happens, I'll be the wife of the CEO of the Shi Group. Look at me. I'm going to become who I want to be."
Upon saying that, Alice cast a glance at Jonathan. Her promise had not been broken.
Although love mattered to her, getting what she wanted was more important. Many years had already passed, yet she felt that
nothing had changed.
Maybe it did change without her noticing. Well, it did not matter anyway. Her goal of becoming one of the upper class was still
there.
"Do you have any idea when I'll be truly happy?" Alice asked in an ethereal manner.
Then, she looked at Jonathan in the eye calmly.
"When?" he asked with his eyebrows furrowed. The woman in front of him seemed to be a little different from one he had
imagined.
Jonathan had always known that Alice was affectionate. However, he figured from the very beginning that she was not the type
who would abandon everything for love.
Alice might be a doting person, but she had a lot of desires.
