Divorce To Restart: Vengeful Ex-Wife Strikes Back!

Chapter 41 The Greedy FellowNôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

TAYLOR’S HOME, NEW YORK. Asher rubbed at his tired neck as he stared intensely at the chart in his hand. It’s ridiculous that a food company that hasn’t clocked a year in the industry has made more sales than M&M Foods in the last two years. Although everyone knows X&J has always done exceptionally well with their business. However, it never caught his interest since they are not in the same line of business. Things seem to have taken a different turn now that they are taking the lead role. The board is beginning to threaten to sell out the company if there is no positive change in sales. There must be a reason why a new company is making such waves. To make matters worse, he has been trying to reach Nina, but her line isn’t going. She probably had him blocked. All of the places that he can imagine she might be hiding, he has no idea where. Since she has no family or actual friends besides Andrea, it’s like her life has no exact trace. Asher pulled at his hair, feeling frustrated. He typed the name X&J into the search box on his computer, and the CEO’s picture popped up immediately. He scoffed after reading through his profile. They are age mates, yet he has achieved a milestone Asher had not despite having wealthy parents. It made him angry suddenly, causing him to turn the screen to the other side. He never should have gotten greedy. He had always fancied Andrea and hoped he would get to sleep with her, only for the fun of it. He liked Nina enough to want to marry her. Maybe he never should have gotten involved with the two friends in the first place, and things would have probably played out differently for him. Andrea pushed the door open walking towards him. Asher groaned inwardly. “What are you doing here?” He asked. She sat down with her legs crossed. “Since you refused to answer my calls, I thought to come to you by myself. I need five thousand dollars for my spa session.” Andrea said, blowing at her nails. Asher snorted. “Spa session? Do you think you deserve one? An empty head like yours deserved to be in a box and thrown into the sea. You haven’t worked for a dime, yet you want to spend money.” Andrea flared her nose at him. “You are my husband, and you have to care for me. Do not make me lose my patience.” “What will you do?” She trailed her finger on the smooth back of the computer. “I see you got a new one. What do you think about me bashing it a little?” “Have you gone mad?” He questioned, slapping her hand away. He thought her rage release the last time was a passing moment. For every argument, they end up having Andrea break something. And not just anything, but all the expensive things that would cost an arm and a leg to return. Not only is she useless to him, but she is also destructive. And because of her, he now has to beg for the crumbs of his parents’ love. They no longer stay in touch with him. He wouldn’t blame them. Only a valuable person deserves people around him. Andrea cackled, not feeling any ounce of guilt. “I bet you get the message.” “You really should have your head checked. You are losing it.” Asher grumbled, caressing the computer like it belonged to a part of his body. She tilted her head to the side when her eyes caught the image on the screen. She stood up to check it correctly, and a loud gasp escaped her lips. “Xander is the owner of X&J?!” Asher raised his brow. “You know him?” “Of course I do. We went to college together, and this guy here dated Nina briefly.” She said the last part like there was bile in her tongue. He stared closely at her, reading the features on her face. He didn’t need a seer to tell him that the situation he is presently in has occurred before. “Let me guess, you tried to steal him, but he wasn’t foolish like me. Because I am certain you would have married him on the go since he is this rich.” She ignored his words and scrolled to see more information about Xander Jackson. “OMG! What am I seeing right now? Is that his net worth?!” Andrea gasped, pointing at the number. “They probably don’t even know the exact net worth. But judging by this guy’s company’s success, it can be true. His new addition, X&J Foods, is why my company has struggled in the market. So close up your wide open mouth and have enough dignity not to embarrass me now that you are a part of my family.” He said to her, eyeing her with disdain. She rolled her eyes. “I am not the reason behind your family’s doom. Don’t try to shift the blame towards me. I have nothing to do here. Can I get the money now?” Asher mumbled some incoherent words under his breath as he made the transfer. “You had better not expect this next time.” He warned. Andrea ignored him and walked away. As she got into her car, she couldn’t stop thinking about Xander. If only she knew Xander would live so large, she would have pressed further in seducing him. It felt satisfying then that Nina was no longer with him and wouldn’t find a man like him again. But it made her mad when Nina ended up with Asher. And right now, she’s regretting her actions. Andrea would have gone after Xander instead. Cursing her fate, she ignited the car and parked in front of the grocery store where Nina had been working. Not seeing Nina there almost feels suspicious. Is there a chance she got back with Xander? That wouldn’t be possible, not when she is carrying another man’s child. On another note, why would a man in his class want anything to do with Nina? She pondered. Assuring herself that there was no chance that they would ever meet, Andrea turned the car towards the road leading to her regular beauty spa. A girl needs to look good.
