Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 482

Jace was pretty sure it was the bracelet that Wiona had taken, the one his grandmother had left behind for the Salisbury family’s future daughter-in-law. He didn’t get it. If they were already divorced, why hadn’t she given it back? Was she that desperate for cash? It kind of made sense. She’d been kicked out by the Morgan family, and after their split, she really had nothing left. No wonder she was holding onto the bracelet like her life depended on it.

Still, he’d already asked his lawyer to deal with it. Wiona should have gotten the letter by now. For the sake of the year they’d spent as husband and wife, Jace didn’t want things to get too messy.

Just as that thought sent a little ache through his chest, Kellen looped her arm through his and called out with a bright smile to someone about to enter the venue.

“Neil!”

Neil turned around, and for a split second, Jace caught that look of contempt before Neil quickly swapped it for a polite grin. “Jace, Kellen.”

Jace’s eyebrows knit together. “Why are you here?” His voice was flat, with a clear edge of irritation.

Neil put on his best innocent face. “Come on, Jace, don’t give me that look. You know our relationship is one thing, but business is another. It’s not fair to blame me just because my dad doesn’t want to invest in Salisbury Corporation. I have zero say in the family business, you know that. How about this: if Kellen sees anything she likes tonight, I’ll bid on it for her. Just a wedding present from your little brother. Kellen, help me out here, say something nice to Jace for me.”

He nudged Kellen with his elbow, and Kellen just glowed. Even Jace’s friend had to show her respect. Look at Neil, a notorious rich playboy, acting all polite in front of her.

Kellen clung to Jace’s arm and smiled sweetly. “He’s right, Jace. Don’t let this come between you and Neil. We’re almost through this rough patch, and he’s just in a tough spot too. But Neil, you’d better show us what you’ve got tonight.”

Jace couldn’t be bothered to reply. He just pulled Kellen along, his face stormy.

As soon as they disappeared, Neil’s smile vanished. His lips curled in disgust. “Pathetic bitch,” he muttered. “She’s just some side chick half the world’s seen, and now she acts like they’ve got some true love. Only an idiot like Jace, with his memory loss, would let her into the Salisbury family. She’s got no shame, flaunting herself everywhere. Makes me sick. She’s not even worth a finger compared to the real thing.”

He wiped his elbow with a handkerchief like he could scrub away the contact, then tossed it off to someone behind him.
