Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness novel Chapter 20

Holley's eyes were searching for Jonas. She knew that the man in front of her was Jonas's driver but she couldn't find him.

"Miss Huang, you've finally managed to earn a fortune and some fans. You need to be careful. Otherwise, you'd lose everything before you know," the driver muttered. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that people were back to minding their own business.

The driver had always disliked Holley. He hated the way she interacted with Jonas. She was arrogant, bossy, and always wreaked havoc.

"Melinda, we'll see," Holley snorted and turned to leave.

But Melinda was impervious to her taunts.

Holley managed to hide her filthy persona behind her beautiful looks. Although she wasn't a famous model, her alluring beauty seemed to captivate people's attention.

Once Holley was gone, the driver smiled apologetically at Melinda and left.

Melinda pursed her lips as she watched the driver leave. Holley's fear was explicit when she talked to him and Melinda wondered who the man was.

"Do you know him?"

Kent stared at the driver, lost in thought. Everything had happened too fast and Kent couldn't comprehend what was going on. Melinda was bothered by Holley and a man had appeared from nowhere to rescue her. Kent was curious to find who he was.

"No, I don't," Melinda mumbled as she racked her brains to find out who he was.

A hazy image formed in her mind but she couldn't recollect anything about him.

When the driver got back to the car, he saw Jonas resting the back of his head on the seat with his eyes closed. His brows were knitted together and it seemed like he was in his own world.

"Mr. Jonas, the job is done. But I think Miss Huang has recognized me," the driver said.

Jonas snapped his eyes open and looked at him.

"Never mind. Let's go to the hospital."

Jonas glanced at the coffee shop for one last time. He saw that Melinda was about to leave and Kent was standing next to her like a protective shield. The way Kent looked at Melinda made Jonas believe that they were a perfect couple.

The driver started the car and drove out of the mall.

Holley was seething with rage. She went home and slammed the door so hard that it rattled against the hinges. She let out a piercing scream and smashed the things to the floor. She hated that Jonas was still protective of Melinda even after she had left him.

Nelson had refused to meet her but he continued to rave about Melinda's character.

She wondered what was so special about Melinda that everyone adored her. Her hatred for Melinda was blazing in her heart.

Holley's phone blared. She groaned and picked the call.

"Hello?"

"What's the matter? Did anyone annoy you?" Yulia asked.

Yulia had few friends because she was an illegitimate daughter. Although the agreement between Holley and Yulia was temporary, the two of them shared the same motive.

They both wanted to defeat Melinda and were using each other to meet their goal.

They were trying to get along with each other. Yulia had planned on inviting Holley to go shopping with her.

"It's your fucking sister-in-law. Who else?"

Holley's anger reached a whole new level when she spoke about Melinda. The two of them had met each other only a couple of times and Holley hardly knew anything about Melinda, but she would go on and on about how much she hated her.

"Did you meet her?"

Yulia hadn't seen Melinda after the latter had moved out of the house. She was relieved that Melinda was gone and didn't care if she was dead or alive.

But when Holley explained about what had happened in the coffee shop, she became a little anxious.

Their hatred was mutual and they couldn't see Melinda live a happy life even if she wasn't with Jonas anymore.

"She's a manipulative woman and you need to make the people of the Gu family understand that. Otherwise, everyone will be in favor of her. If Nelson manages to bring her back, then it would be impossible to chuck her out of the house again."

Although Jonas was a heartless, selfish man, he was loyal to his grandfather. Nelson adored Melinda and the two of them were afraid that Jonas would listen to him and bring her home.

"I know. She is a real bitch," Yulia grunted and hung up the call.

She decided to go to the living room and see what Queena was up to. She needed to somehow intensify Queena's hatred for Melinda. Queena was busy arranging the flowers and a servant was helping her.

Although Yulia had no interest in self-cultivation, she thought that it would be a great opportunity to interact with Queena.
