The Divorced Super Rich Husband

Chapter 8

In the car park, a woman was seen walking hurriedly. Behind her was a man chasing after her. Although beautiful, the woman showed a very bad expression. "It's all because of you!" Stefani shouted at Evan. 

"Stefani, wait!" Evan managed to catch up to Stefani. He grabbed her hand, which made Stefani stop and turn around. 

Stefani pointed at Evan. She was furious as she said, "You make me so ashamed! You can't even beat a loser like Marco!" 

The atmosphere became even more heated. Stefani continued to insult Evan by calling him a lousy man. Evan also felt very embarrassed that he couldn't beat Marco. As a man, he had high self-esteem. However, he had already lost $100K to Stefani, so if Stefani continued to scold him, it was the same as her not thanking him. 

"Enough! I've been buying you nice things all this time, just because I lost to that loser, then you can just abuse me?" Evan shouted.

Stefani fell silent. She looked down and stared at the floor. Her jaw hardened. "That's because you suck! If you didn't suck, you wouldn't have lost to that loser." 

Evan's breath hitched. He stared at Stefani intently. Every word he spoke was filled with pressure. "I said enough! This is partly your fault too! You didn't even know your ex-husband had a black card!" 

Stefani folded her arms across her chest. She turned around and now had her back to Evan. "So you're blaming me?" 

As a man who loved Stefani, Evan didn't want to yell at her. It was just that Stefani's tough demeanour made him tougher. When he saw Stefani pouting, Evan immediately approached her. "Of course not. I don't blame you." 

"Really?" asked Stefani. 

Evan nodded once. "Of course you do. But it's very strange that Marco suddenly became a rich man, isn't it?" 

"He's only been kicked out for one day. How did he get so rich?" Stefani muttered. Her gaze wandered, trying to remember the origins of her ex-husband. However, all her memories were of how poor the man was. 

"I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a family. I've been married to him for a long time. We also had a long relationship when we were at university. There are no secrets of his that I don't know."

"In that case, is the card possibly stolen?" Evan began to speculate. Stefani had long complained that Marco couldn't give her enough money. That strengthened his suspicion that Marco had stolen the Black Card from someone with the same name. 

From the beginning, Stefani suspected Marco had stolen the Black Card. However, she couldn't think much about it before because she was too busy cursing him. Now, when she had already endured a great deal of embarrassment, her mind could dash. "Exactly! I'm sure he stole it!" 

Evan clucked in annoyance. His face became ugly as he remembered how embarrassed and scared he was. He was worried that his history would be over if he offended Marco. "Outrageous, he already made me feel so embarrassed! I won't forgive him!" 

"Honey, don't you know one of the police officers?" asked Stefani.

"I'll contact Mr. Jones. He should be compensated for what he did to us." 

Unbeknownst to them, their argument had caught Will's attention. Will was sitting in his car waiting for Marco. When he saw Stefani, his master's ex-girlfriend, he quickly rolled down the window to hear what they were saying. 

When he heard what they were saying, Will became very angry. However, he didn't get off immediately and preferred to wait. 

Elsewhere, Marco was sitting in the waiting room of a clothing store. The waiter even provided snacks, drinks, and some magazines so Marco wouldn't get bored. 

After almost half an hour of sitting, one of the salesgirl approached him and spoke very politely. She said that all the items Marco bought were already packed. 

"This... this is a lot!" Marco couldn't keep his mouth shut when he saw the piles of clothes and shoes. 

"Sir, you spent almost two million dollars, of course the items you received will be a lot." The maid spoke shyly. 

"I didn't know it would be this much." Marco had a complicated expression. He was at a loss as to how to carry all of this. Fortunately, his mind was running fast. "Do you provide delivery service?" 

The salesgirl nodded kindly. Her smile never faded. "Purchases above $100k are eligible for free delivery, sir. Since you have spent more than the minimum, this provision applies to you as well." 

Marco breathed a sigh of relief. "Then, I would like some paper and pen." 

The salesgirl quickly handed over the paper and pen. Marco wrote down his residential address and handed the paper to the waiter. 

The salesgirl's face turned pale when he saw the address. "Ho-holy ...." 

Before the woman divulged his identity, Marco gave the salesgirl a sharp look. The look was immediately understood by the salesgirl. She simply nodded and left Marco alone. 

Moments later, the salesgirl returned and handed over the receipt. "If your package hasn't arrived in two hours, you can call us." 

Marco accepted the paper and put it in his pocket. He turned around and left the clothing store. Someone suddenly grabbed Marco's hands and locked them behind his back when he had just stepped outside. "Police! Don't move!" 

Ignoring the notice, Marco insisted on letting go of his hand. The hand's grip grew tighter, but after a short effort, Marco could release it. 

"Mr. Jones, you saw for yourself, he tried to run away even after you said you were the police!" 

The face of this man named Mr. Jones became ugly. He was a police officer. However, a youngster had just escaped from his clutches. That, of course, embarrassed him. 

Marco straightened his messy clothes. His gaze fell on Stefani and Evan. "What the hell?" 

Instead of answering Marco's question, Stefani pointed to the man's face. "Mr Jones, this is Marco. He stole someone's black card and made a big transaction. You need to arrest him right now!" Stefani continued to speak provokingly. 

"Give me the black card and come with me voluntarily. Then I will guarantee your safety," Jones spoke with his eyes focused on Marco as if he was worried that Marco would suddenly disappear. 

He had met many of the younger generation of noble families. He had never seen Marco before. If he wasn't from out of town, then Stefani's accusation was likely a fact. 

"Giving away my black card? Are you kidding me?" Marco didn't seem afraid of Jones at all. "You've treated me harshly and that's the kind of thing that can ruin your career!" 

Jones was an experienced man. When he saw the calmness on Marco's face, his gaze turned to Evan. "Can you explain this situation to me, Mr. Evan?" 

Evan nodded confidently. "Mr. Jones, you can look at the CCTV around the Reyes family residence. Yesterday he was just a vagrant, how could he have a black card in less than a day?" 

A sardonic smile appeared on Marco's face. So it was these two who had called the police. "If you can't afford it, it doesn't mean others can't either." 

As the commotion grew, Will walked hurriedly over to them. "What's going on?"

"Mr. Will? Oh.. it's nothing, it's just a matter of theft." Jones spoke with great respect. He knew Will was one of the people who ran the Gallahad family business. Compared to Evan, Evan was just a speck of dust next to a diamond. So, he didn't dare offend him. 

"Theft case? What kind of theft are you talking about?" Will asked with a probing look. Even though he knew Stefani's cunning plan, Will was still waiting. 

Jones looked at Marco for a while before answering carefully. "Marco has stolen someone's black card and we need to bring him to justice." 

Meanwhile, Marco only smiled slightly. But there was a bit of strange vibration in his heart.

 He felt happy! 

Here was already Will, his personal servant. He wouldn't worry about anything. 

Will smiled calmly. Even so, there was a cold aura seeping out of Will's body. "What kind of theft are you referring to, Mr. Jones? Looks like you forgot to bring your brain to work." 

Jones' anger boiled over instantly. Will indirectly called him a fool. His expression became grim. "Mr. Will, you may be an important person in the Gallahad family, but this is my territory, you must respect that. I must arrest this young man for stealing the black card!" 

Will's eyes bulged, and he gave off an unceremonious murderous aura that made Evan and Stefani tremble with fear while Jones swallowed harshly. "Insolent! Who are you calling a thief? I will prosecute all of you who are insolent to my master. Remember, I will make you pay!"
