Chapter 524: Chapter 524

Thinking of this, her phone suddenly rang.

An unfamiliar number, she felt a vague sense of unease.

After pressing the answer button, she finally knew where this unease came from.

"Jean Nash, I heard you’re getting married, huh. You’re quite something, divorcing me to marry your true love. Don’t get too pleased with yourself. I’ve already found out who that man is. I’ll send him your videos and photos from the bedroom, let’s see if your so-called fiancé cares about your past."

The man’s tone was vile, and after he finished speaking, he laughed maniacally over the phone.

Jean Nash swallowed hard. This was her ex-husband, Shawn Yates. After the divorce, he became more and more extreme. Clearly, when they first met, he was still a warm and polite person.

"Shawn Yates, I warn you not to act recklessly. If you dare to post the photos, the Nash Family won’t let you off."

"Won’t let me off, huh? Well, I don’t care, I’m happy to have you for company even if I die."

Jean Nash was at a loss for words. She knew this man was certainly capable of doing it.

"What exactly do you want?! We’re already divorced. Stop pestering me!!"

The man’s voice started to choke up.

"Jean, can we remarry? You’re too cruel. Didn’t you say we were meant to grow old together? How could you leave me? You’re a liar!"

By the end, his tone turned vicious, like a madman.

Jean Nash knew he was very emotional right now and didn’t want to say much more.

"Where are you now? Let’s arrange a time to meet. We really should talk things over. Leaving without a word was my mistake, but you deceived me first. You admitted you were the one who saved me, and that’s why I married you to repay you. Shawn Yates, if you had denied it back then, none of this would have happened."

Shawn Yates knew this, but he loved her; it was the only chance to keep her.

"Let’s talk it out, Jean. I know you’re smart. I’m telling you, those photos and videos have been hidden in a safe place. Even with hacker help, it’s useless. Don’t play tricks on me. Meet with me, and I’ll consider deleting those things."

There was a flash of danger in Jean Nash’s eyes. When she married this man because she was too grateful, no matter how unreasonable his demands were, she tried her best to satisfy them. She felt ashamed of the photos being taken, but when she saw how happy he was, she went along with it.

Unexpectedly, the videos of them together have now become evidence threatening her.

Jean Nash tightened her grip. It was all because of Hugo Quinn that she was unlucky. So Hugo Quinn must be with her, then she would feel a bit better.

She sent the arranged time to the other’s phone. This time, she must thoroughly resolve this troublesome man to prevent someone from constantly disturbing her engagement with Hugo Quinn.

After she left, Hugo Quinn slowly emerged from the corner. He had heard everything just now. He didn’t expect Jean Nash had been married before and also got entangled with that man. That man must have something on her.

Hugo Quinn’s eyes showed a faint coolness, and he immediately went to the company to find Lan Yancy.

Jean Nash is busy meeting that man now and shouldn’t have time to stay by his side.

Once he was in the car, he still took the time to call Eleanor Hollis, but her phone was still off.

Hugo Quinn felt a bit annoyed. What exactly was that woman doing? Was she safe or in danger now?

Originally, he was going to the company to find Lan Yancy, but after seeing Eleanor Hollis never picked up the phone, he decided to find her first.

He went to many places, but Eleanor Hollis wasn’t there. He couldn’t use his power because the Nash Family was keeping a close watch on his subordinates. Any movement, and Jean Nash would know.

He wandered aimlessly for a long time, feeling more and more anxious.

A flash of thought went through his mind, and he slowly drove to the Hollis Family house.

All the Hollis Family properties belonged to Eleanor Hollis. That person wouldn’t stay in a hotel when she had a house available.

He stood at the door and rang the doorbell.

Eleanor Hollis was taking a nap and frowned when she heard the doorbell.

Has Dylan Dawson returned?

She was a bit helpless, even amused, that man’s character was not at all the same as when they first met.

"What’s up with you? You left, right? Couldn’t you bear to leave when you were about to board the plane?" Thıs content belongs to novelꜰire.net

She didn’t look through the peephole to see who it was outside. She opened the door, muttering.

But when she saw Hugo Quinn standing there, she momentarily forgot how to react, her whole body stiff at the spot.

"Why is your phone turned off?"

Hugo Quinn’s voice was very familiar, and he walked past her into the house, as if it were his own.

Finally, Eleanor Hollis reacted, her mouth twisting a little.

"We’re divorced, why are you here?"

Hugo Quinn knew she was angry, but the more he tried to explain that matter, the more he seemed wrong.

"I was worried about you because you didn’t answer my calls."

Eleanor Hollis turned her head aside, her eyelashes drooping down.

"You should leave. Don’t come here anymore. I’m worried Miss Nash would misunderstand. You are moving in together and getting engaged next month. Your love seems to be going well."

With each sentence, she felt more tense inside, her palms were sweaty.

If it’s not true, then refute it.

She yelled in her heart, really wanting to know how far things had gone between the two.

But after a full minute, Hugo Quinn didn’t respond.

The spark of hope that had risen in Eleanor Hollis gradually extinguished. She mockingly tugged at the corner of her mouth and pointed at the door.

"Mr. Quinn, please leave voluntarily. I don’t want things between us to get ugly. After all, we were once in love."

She emphasized the word "once" and no longer looked at him.

Hugo Quinn’s heart ached, the detachment in Eleanor Hollis’s eyes like a thorn, fiercely stabbing into his body.

"Eleanor, it’s not ’were once.’ I still love you now, but I have no means. If you must blame someone, blame me for being too incompetent."

Hugo Quinn’s voice was somewhat hoarse, wanting to reach out and hug her.

Eleanor Hollis stepped aside, her face expressionless.

"I understand you, but that doesn’t mean I will forgive you. Since Jean Nash is Marcus’s biological mother, you three should be together as a family in the future. Don’t come to bother me anymore."

Hugo Quinn opened his mouth and, in the end, said nothing.

He slowly turned around and walked to the door.

"If anything happens, you can call the company’s front desk."

Eleanor Hollis’s body stiffened. The company’s front desk? So now she can’t even get through to him anymore?

Her heart grew colder, the last shred of hope slowly fading from her eyes.
