The Prodigious Ex-Husband

3

Eric acted as though he was in excruciating pain and screamed his lungs out to make a point.

"He beat me badly and broke my bones; now I can't even walk on my feet; you have to avenge me, sister!He beat me badly and broke my bones."

Eric hung up on Vera before she could say anything during their call.

He muttered under his breath, "Poor Jaden! " while maintaining a smirk on his face. “He has no idea how much trouble he is getting himself into right now! I can't wait to see that lowlife get his behind spanked!

In the meantime, Jaden Reed, who is unaware of the trouble that Eric caused, walked away from the scene.

However, just as he took a few steps away, his phone rang.

It's a call from a person named Zack Connolly.

Jaden picked up the call and greeted,“ President Connolly,”

“It's been a long while, young master, I never thought I'll get through you again” Zack Connolly said with a calm, respectful tone.

“I got the message you sent.Do we really have to sign the contract with Trust Cape? The Rae family didn't deserve this chance, they've done thing but took advantage of the kindness we showed them”

Jaden lowered his head and fell silent for a couple of seconds, raising his head, nodding, and replied,“ Send the contract to them. However, let it be known that this is the last time the company is working with Trust Cape. The company ain't hold any collaborations with them in the future, so make sure to relay the message”

Zack Connolly fell silent hearing this.Then, he quickly nodded affirmatively,“ Your orders will be followed simultaneously, young master,Reed”

At that moment, a luxury car suddenly stopped beside Jaden, a young, vibrant, beautiful girl got out of the car and walked up to Jadeen, asking,“ Are you, Mr.Jaden Reed?”

She asked with uncertainty.

Jaden was taken aback.

He couldn't recognize the woman in front of him. On top of that, not many people knew him, and not many people even cared about a poor rat in the first place.

Thinking of this, he was even confused.

“Who are you, Miss?”

Before Jaden could fathom what was happening, the young girl pulled him into a warm hug.

She hugged him tightly as if she wanted to penetrate his skin.

Jaden was rendered speechless and shock energy spread through his skin.

Seeing the look of exasperation in Jaden’s eyes, Beverly Cox disengaged from the hug.

She gave Jaden a sheepish smile, and Jaden returned the gesture by giving her a smile.

She looked up at him, cleared her throat, and said, "I'm Beverly Cox, ten years ago you saved me from being raped by a gang of hooligans." Beverly was aware that he did not recognize her, so she looked up at him and cleared her throat to introduce herself .

“In addition to that, you provided my family with an additional 100,000 dollars to use toward my medical care. However, my father put the money into investments, and those investments ultimately resulted in a significant profit. My family is now considered to be one of the wealthiest families in the city thanks to the assistance provided by that money”.

"However, I looked everywhere for the helpful young man who rescued me back then, but you seemed to have vanished into thin air," she said. “I'm happy that I was able to locate you today. You won't believe how happy I am! I can't wait to show you!”

Beverly Cox makes a squeaky sound. Her grin spread across her whole face.

When Jaden finally realized who she was, he smiled and gave Beverly another hug. It was only at that very moment that Jaden remembered who she was.

"I am overjoyed for you and your family. I am very proud of your family, and you have no idea how much I admire all of you!

Beverly took his hands in hers, looked him straight in the eyes, and then said, "This is all possible because of you. You are the reason I made it through that terrible night and now have a better life as a result of what happened. As a result, I would like to make a small gesture of gratitude toward you. I am well aware that it is not comparable, but I would really like to do something for you.”

Beverley took a deep breath before delivering the devastating news, "I want you to be my date for tonight's business party.It is going to be a very big event, and you will have the opportunity to talk to people from a variety of backgrounds. I beg you, agree to it!”

Beverly pleaded with a cute expression on her face while she begged.

Even though Jaden was concerned about upsetting his long-lost friend, he was adamant about not going.

But Beverly coerced him into the car and then drove away from the scene.

Because he had no other option, Jaden had no choice but to accept the date.

On the other hand, Beverly was ecstatic; she joyfully chatted boxed the entire time they were traveling to the location of the event.

"One year after you saved my life, the Cox family won the lottery, and my father sent me overseas to study for a very long time in a foreign country. It was suggested to me that I pursue a career in business, despite the fact that initially I had aspirations of becoming a lawyer”.

"You probably won't believe me when I tell you this, but I graduated first in my class and won a number of awards.I wanted to share everything with you but I failed to contact you no matter how many letters I sent to you," Beverly's expression became dreamily sad as she related her story.

"By the time I got back to the country, our company had grown, and now we have a great deal of other companies operating under our names as well. Buildings and constructions such as hotels, resorts, restaurants, department stores, as well as other types of businesses, etc. You give it a name!"

As Jaden listened to the ecstatic energy that Beverly was exuding, he could not help but smile at her adorable gestures.

"Tell me, what's it like in your life right now?" Beverly was all of a sudden very interested.

Jaden attempted to sidestep the question by waving his hands and requesting to be excused.

“Fine! This evening, the COX Group will be hosting a significant event, and there will be a large number of prospective clients and customers in attendance. A great number of businesses from all over the city will compete with each other using knives and forks in the hope of securing a partnership with our organization. We are going to have a great time tonight!"

After hearing this, Jaden became unresponsive very quickly.

“I was wondering if Vera was planning on attending the party as well”. Jaden was thinking.
