Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 421

"Fine. It's my fault. But, I really appreciate your courage. What we should do next is..."

Thompson stood up and walked towards Alice slowly. Then, he whispered something in her ear that would probably send chills down her spine.

Alice patiently listened, her eyes wide in shock. What Thompson said was cruel.

Sadly, her love for Jacob was now gone. All that was left in her heart was resentment. Well, hate is the most complicated thing in the world.

Alice wanted to see Jacob suffer with her own eyes. She would pay to see him live in misery, hoping that he would get the punishment he deserved.

"Let's do it. But before anything else, make sure that nothing goes wrong. I don't want to hear from him again!" she said while glaring at Thompson as if he was the one who had wronged her. At the thought of Jacob being tortured, a sly smile tugged the corner of her mouth, making her look devilish.

Thompson shuddered as he looked at her. Although the weather was scorching hot, Alice's icy cold words gave him chills. This is probably what people mean when they say "Nobody knows how much I hate you except myself."

"Wow! I didn't know you're this heartless. Honestly, I thought you'd hesitate at first. Guess I shouldn't mess around with women in the future." Thompson felt amazed by her determination, but at the same time, he was starting to become wary of her.

It is astonishing how a woman can turn her love into hatred when betrayed. Also, how jealousy can intensify it.

Alice was that kind of person. If she could not get what she wanted, nobody could have it as well. She would rather destroy it than let go.

"Why? Are you scared?" she asked with a sinister smile.

"Well, compared to what you've done before, this is nothing. Don't act so surprised," she added with a smile as she put down her coffee on the table.

The café where they were at the moment was elegant and well-adorned with fancy decorations. Alice appreciated it very well being a petty bourgeoisie herself.

Jacob had thought her a lot. In fact, her taste was influenced by him. If it were not for him, she would not have learned so many things.

Ironically, one of the things that he had taught her was hatred. Not only that, but he had also taught her how to fly, even though he was the one who cut her wings in the end.

Alice still could not accept it. They were so happy when they were together, but Jacob suddenly decided that he no longer loved her.

All of a sudden, he believed that it was time to say goodbye. He left just like that, as though she never mattered. That was the reason why it was very difficult for Alice to let go and move on.

That was probably what made them different between each other. They were not on the same page, yet Alice did not plan on being reconciled with him.

Her suffering became her motivation for revenge. Since Jacob made things difficult for her, she would make him get to taste his own medicine and let him never live peacefully. That was all in her mind right now.

Of course, everyone was aware that she was up to something, including Jacob himself. When he broke up with her, he became kinder to her. However, sometimes, she felt like he deliberately turned a blind eye to her, as if he did not care at all.

That is the saddest feeling in the world. Even if you beg, you still cannot attract an ounce of attention from the person you care about the most. There is nothing else you can do, not even if you commit suicide in front of him. Even if you still try to win him back, sad to say but, he has already erased you from his world.

Alice's biggest problem was that she loved to do meaningless things.

Well, to begin with, she never thought things through, whether it was meaningful or not. Regardless of the answer, she wanted to attract Jacob's attention.

"That's exactly why I like you. Ha-ha! Well, we wouldn't be allies in the first place if you weren't like this. Don't worry. I know what happened between you and Jacob. This whole thing was his fault. I will support you on whatever you want to do."

Thompson could not stop chuckling. Meanwhile, Alice did not say anything.

What she needed right now was a man like him who would encourage her to achieve her goals. After all, she was full of wrath that was yet to be unleashed. The last thing she wanted was a person who would get in her way.

Alice had to admit that she had sacrificed a lot to get back at Jacob. She did not only sacrifice her youth but also her dignity. She even lost herself in the process.
