How My Ex Became My Next

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Harrington residence was somber.

Jensen was sitting on the sofa with a sullen face and kept silent for a long time. He had just come back from the police station after bailing Madeleine out.

Even though Sherry promptly covered the loss of the multi–brand boutique, the lawyer’s preliminary estimation suggested that, due to the substantial amount at stake and Gilda’s reluctance to resolve the issue privately, Sherry could be facing a three–year jail sentence.

As soon as Carol woke up, she heard that her daughter would face a three–year jail sentence, which made her dumbfounded.

“Jensen, listen to me. Sherry can’t go to prison!” Carol’s voice was trembling. She couldn’t believe it as she continued, “Sherry is so young. How could she live with those criminals? It will kill her!

“Jensen, go and talk to Gilda. At the very least, be courteous and give her some space to agree to peacefully resolve this matter in the next few days, alright?”

Carol’s tone was almost pleading, and now she finally gave in.

Jensen furrowed his brow and uttered in a solemn tone, “Sherry’s audacity to collaborate with the underworld to violate others‘ property rights was truly reckless!”

It was not that Jensen didn’t want to talk to Gilda, but the problem now was that Gilda didn’t want to talk to him at afkand just wanted Sherry to go to jail.

“What do you mean? Do you want Sherry to go to jail at such a young age?” Carol shouted with anger.

“It’s time to teach her a lesson,” said Jensen.

“Sherry was bullied by that woman, so she asked someone to smash her store. She did it on impulse. It’s all that woman’s fault! Sherry was innocent!” Carol became more and sadder as she complained.

Observing Jensen’s apathetic demeanor, Carol realized that she needed to take action to prod him.

Then, with a forceful motion, Carol swung open the window and extended one of her legs out of it, threatening Jensen. “If you don’t help me plead with Gilda, I will hurl myself out of this window and meet my demise!” This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Seeing Carol doing so, Madeleine was startled and rushed to the window to grab Carol’s hand. “Jensen, stop your mother!” Madeline shouted.

“Enough!” Jensen roared. His icy tone took Carol aback. She had never witnessed him in such a state before, causing her to prudently retract her leg and settle back onto the couch.

Seeing this, Madeleine just stood aside in silence.

Jensen had been holding his anger since the party, and now he was at the end of his rope.

“I found out very clearly that it was Sherry who insulted Gilda in the boutique. Gilda drove them out after

she found that they had bought the tickets from the scalper,” Jensen said.

Then he threw a recording pen on the table and said, “It contains the recordings of servants who have served in the Harrington family for the past three years. They all said that you two used Gilda as a

servant at home, yelling and cursing her loudly, asking her to cook for the whole family and wash your clothes and even… Underwear!”

Hearing Jensen expose the truth that she had been covering up, Carol curled her lips and whispered, “She did it of her own free will. She deserved it! She should have thought of our attitude when she was shamelessly trying to marry you.”

“That’s what you think of her?” Jensen asked.

Jensen had never imagined that behind the surface of a harmonious family resided an unsavory reality.

For the past three years, Gilda had been burdened with an excessive amount of secretarial work. However, when she returned home, she had to endure the aggressive Carol and the unruly Sherry.

But Gilda never complained anything to Jensen. Nor did he ever care about her.

Jensen thought he was really an unqualified husband.

“Sherry not only tortured Gilda at home but also went to her store to destroy her property. As such an arrogant and domineering person, Sherry will suffer losses if she makes bigger trouble in the future. It will be better for her to stay in prison for three years!” Jensen said firmly.

Carol wanted to defend Sherry again but was intimidated by Jensen’s serious look. She sat down with unwillingness and gritted teeth.

Jensen loosened his tie with an air of annoyance and stared at Madeleine, who remained silent beside him. The intensity of Jensen’s gaze left Madeleine struggling to catch her breath.

“You knew Gilda’s identity a long time ago. Why did you pretend not to know and secretly send someone to follow her to take those misplaced photos?” Jensen asked.

Madeleine was shocked. She didn’t expect that Jensen would find out everything.

“I won’t hold on to the trending topic thing,” Jensen said lightly,

Hearing this, Madeleine was secretly relieved.
