Chapter 4 You Will Regret It
John and Lucas exchanged glances, wondering how they could possibly know about it.
Joe’s phone suddenly rang.
The moment he answered the call, he heard Sir Smith shouting angrily, “Idiot! You’re planning to divorce Mia? Are you kidding me?!”
His rage erupted through the phone, and everyone could hear. Joe stood up and walked to the door.
Behind him, Wendy tightly clenched her palm, resentment in her eyes.
Joe walked to a quiet place and explained to his grandfather, “Mia is just throwing a tantrum. Ignore her, she’ll calm down in a few days.”
“Then why is she at the airport? Did you drive her away so that you can marry that woman? I told you… As long as I’m alive, Wendy will never ever marry into the Smith family! Never!”
Joe furrowed his brow. “Did she really go to the airport?”
Just the thought that Mia was actually planning to leave him… it put a deeply unpleasant feeling in his chest. And it annoyed him how much she affected him.
Sir Smith sighed. “My people saw her at the airport. Go get her back! Mia’s a good girl. If you let her go, you’ll regret it.”
And then, he hung up without waiting for Joe to reply.
When Joe returned to the private room, he looked incredibly gloomy.
“You guys carry on. I’ll leave first.”
“Joe, where are you going?” Wendy asked. She looked perplexed as Joe confidently walked away without looking back.
Joe called Mia several times but couldn’t reach her. Not knowing if she had turned off her phone or blocked him, he had no choice but to call Jack to find out where she was.
Joe, consumed by anger, raced back to his villa and confronted Emma angrily, “Where is Mrs. Smith?”
Emma stuttered, “I…I don’t know. But Mr. Smith, I found something in the room…”
Before she could finish, Joe rushed upstairs. And, as expected, Mia was nowhere to be found there.
In the past, no matter how late he came home, Mia would always be waiting for him in the bedroom. Even if he was upset, she would always greet him with a gentle smile. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Frustrated, Joe yanked off his tie and scanned the room. It had
been tidied up, and the bed looked perfectly untouched, like she had never even slept there. The wardrobe in the dressing room was still full. But upon closer inspection, Joe noticed that some of Mia’s casual clothes were missing.
Joe’s face darkened instantly. When Mia married him and moved in, she only brought two suitcases of belongings. And Joe bought the rest of the clothes in the wardrobe for her.
But she didn’t take any of the clothes he bought. She only took away her own things.
Joe’s gaze shifted to the nightstand where he saw a bank card
the one he had given to Mia the night before. As he picked it up, he quickly discovered the divorce agreement hidden. underneath.
It was the divorce agreement they had signed together. Anxiety started to spread within him, and Sir Smith’s words echoed in his mind, “You’ll regret it…”
It couldn’t be true. He knew how infatuated Mia was with him. She wouldn’t leave him. This was just another game she was playing to try and make him give in.
Joe lit a cigarette, filling the room with smoke as he called Jack, “Have you found her?”
“Our people saw Mrs. Smith at the airport, but…”
“Just bring her back!”
He took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anxiety. It had been a long time since he had felt this overwhelming mix of surprise and anger; not since his parents’ incident. He couldn’t understand why…
“But Mrs. Smith has already boarded the plane and taken off.”
Looking at the divorce agreement in his hand, Joc looked incredibly gloomy.
“Send people to intercept her when the plane lands! Bring her back to me at all costs!”
With that, Joe angrily threw his phone at the wall, shattering it to pieces.
“So you finally got away, huh Mia? You’d better hide well and don’t let me ever catch you!”
