After speaking, Eugene forcefully pushed him away. Ace was pushed far away. As Finley and the others closed in, a surge of panic overwhelmed him, and he desperately clung to Jade. “Jade…. Jade, please save me!”
However, Jade remained unmoved by his pleas and coldly responded, “You brought this upon yourself. The consequences you face today are the result of your actions.” After saying that, she tried to break free from his grasp.
However, Ace stubbornly held onto her and refused to let go. “Jade, we were once bound as husband and wife. You can’t simply leave me like this!”
With a fit of unusual anger burning in his eyes, Eugene walked over and delivered a swift kick to Ace. “Since your son is present today, I’ll spare you some dignity. But mark my words, Ace Baker-if you ever try to harm them again, I will make sure you’re done for!”
Left lying motionless on the ground after the forceful kick, Ace felt a profound sense of despair. “Nathan, are you not going to help me too?” he pleaded.
Standing not far away, Nathan remained silent and looked at his father expressionlessly. Glancing at Nathan and noting his unwavering stance, Eugene then shifted his gaze to Jade and questioned, “To whom did you give this house when you divorced?”
Jade’s response was filled with disdain as she looked at Ace. “To him,” she replied. Fully aware of Ace’s persistent nature, Jade had willingly granted him control of every property he was aware of to avoid his interference.
As for herself, she had converted the company into stocks and cash, unconcerned about the possibility of him benefiting slightly from it. Her primary objective was to sever all ties completely, ensuring he wouldn’t find any valuable assets to exploit.
Since ten years ago, Eugene had always wanted them to divorce, and now he could only feel a sense of relief for his sister. He nodded in agreement and added, “Pay attention to the news tomorrow before 10.00AM. If there’s no public apology from the Snow Family and Ace, I’ll hand over the evidence to the police.”
His words were clearly directed at Ace and the Snow Family.
Jade quietly acknowledged his instruction in a soft voice. After they departed, the room erupted with a tumultuous series of banging and crashing sounds.
“Ace Baker, you son of a b*tch! Do you think you can toy with me like a monkey?! If I don’t end you today, then it will be the end of me!”
Ace’s agonizing screams filled the room. “Argh! Finley, let me explain-don’t hit me! Don’t hit me! How much money did you lose? I promise to cover all the losses, alright?” he pleaded, desperate to save himself from further harm.
Meanwhile, Eugene, Jade, and Nathan walked out without looking back, especially Eugene, whose footsteps quickened as if he were in a hurry.
Jade observed Nathan closely as he followed Eugene. Throughout the ordeal, he never once turned to look at her. While he seemed more biased toward her than Ace, she couldn’t shake the feeling that deep down, he might still hold her responsible.
In just a few swift steps, Eugene reached the car and said, “Nathan, take your mother home. I’ll go first.”
Nathan nodded in response and opened the car door for Eugene. “Uncle, thank you for today.”
Nathan recognized that if it hadn’t been for Eugene’s intervention, Finley would never have backed down so easily tonight, let alone demand an apology from them.
However, Eugene had them firmly under his control, with the threat of imprisonment if they refused to apologize.
It was truly impressive. However, Eugene remained unaware of Nathan’s thoughts, and his mind was preoccupied with the thought of leaving his wife alone at home.
He missed her dearly.
After mumbling an acknowledgment, he got into the car. As Eugene’s car drove away, Nathan hailed a cab by the side of the road. Having returned the car keys earlier, he had no other option but to take a cab.
Without talking to Jade, he opened the back door of the cab and gestured for her to get in. Despite having her car, Jade complied and entered the cab.
Inside the cab, Jade felt the urge to speak several times before finally finding her voice. “I’m sorry, Nathan. Don’t blame me. My intentions were genuinely for your own good,” she mumbled, trying to explain herself.
Nathan remained silent, his gaze focused on the world outside the window. Jade continued her explanation. “I really didn’t know about the issues between your father and the Snow Family. If I had known, I wouldn’t have turned a blind eye.”
Releasing a deep sigh, Nathan replied, “It’s fine. There’s no need to explain. I already know, and I support your decision to divorce Ace. Since you’ve given him the property, let’s stay at Muse Peninsula tonight.”
Jade’s eyes brightened at his words. Muse Peninsula was the residence chosen by Nathan. Is this a sign of his forgiveness?
