Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 422

Alice knew that she still had to accomplish a lot of things in her lifetime. Although many people lived a carefree life, she wasn't one of them. Her ambitions were what drove her to take drastic steps. As a result, she didn't care what she had to do to get whatever she wanted.

Rather than live a miserable life, Alice wanted to live her life to the fullest. She desired all the good things in the world. Even if she would have to live a notorious life in the future, Alice continued to pursue her dubious plans. The young lady didn't mind soiling her hands as long as she got what she desired. Now, she was out to destroy all those who weren't on her side.

"Do you know the wedding date?" As she questioned him, Alice touched the coffee cup and it was already cold.

Looking up at the waiter, she gestured. "Excuse me, please I would like another cup of coffee."

Thompson leaned on the chair. Frowning, he tried to recollect the wedding date. Someone had told him about it before.

"Oh! It would be held after the plan I just discussed with you. Don't worry. I am sure this would deal a heavy blow to Jacob." Thompson propped up his head with his hand and pretended to be serious. At that moment, he looked like an experienced ally.

"Haha! That's great." Alice laughed mischievously. Her mind was filled with all the evil things she planned to do.

"Hmm. Well, I don't understand. What is amusing you? I am shocked by your response. A woman who is in love isn't supposed to speak like that. Women are so unpredictable. And you never cease to amaze me,"

Thompson said with a hint of annoyance in his voice. He was angry because Alice had laughed like she didn't care.

He couldn't guess if he would be able to break his alliance with her in the future. 'Will I ever be able to go against this woman in the future? Sometimes she gets on my nerves, ' he pondered angrily. Even if Thompson decided to abandon her, she already knew his secrets. Perhaps she would just pull a string and all that was hidden would be out in the open.

Indeed, it was impossible for two people who spent most of their time together not to know anything about each other. Even an outsider could tell that something was going on between them. For instance, Jonathan had earlier queried him about the kind of relationship he had with Alice. The man must have noticed that they seemed more than just friends.

"Well, that's it. I think it's better to stay away from each other for now. Let's stop meeting up. Jonathan might begin to suspect us. Although he said that he's not against my friendship with you, I don't want the rumor mongers to start peddling stories. Besides, I don't want to have headaches because of trifles."

Alice immediately stood up and was about to leave.

"You are a very heartless woman!" Thompson muttered with his teeth clenched. This woman was driving him nuts.

He watched in anger as Alice walked out of the café and disappeared at the end of the street corner. Studies have shown that crimes could change the behavior of people. However, the most important thing was that if a person changed, he should desist from partaking in criminal activities. This was to prevent further damage to the person's character.

For Thompson, he was already irredeemable. He had committed several atrocities, so he couldn't stop now. However, Alice's case wasn't worse than his. She could still redeem herself. But the stubborn woman didn't want to.

She was so strong-willed that no amount of advice could stop her from doing what she set her mind to. 'Alice is such a difficult woman to handle. Which planet did she come from?' he asked himself.

Thompson took out his phone and dialed the number of a woman. Alice was going to be another man's wife. And he was a principled man. So, it was time for him to bury the feelings for her.

But he wasn't used to staying without a woman. Just like bees were attracted to honey, women always flocked around him. In fact, all Thompson had to do was to put a call through and they would come running to him. 'I had better get a new lady to warm my bed, ' he reasoned.

Immediately he heard a beep tone, he said seductively, "Baby, how are you doing? I have been very busy lately so I couldn't contact you." Thompson was a player. He had one thousand ways to seduce a woman.

As a result, he never lacked them. Even though he was unlucky with love, Thompson constantly had ladies of different sizes warming his bed. And Alice, she was no different from the others. She might feel that she was indispensable. But to him, she wasn't more than a call girl.

"Thompson, you finally called me. I thought you had forgotten about me. I am getting my nails done with my best friend. Do you want to see me now?"

The woman's voice was softer and flirtatious than Thompson's. If anyone heard their conversation, they would probably look at them with a disgusted expression. They were both in a public place but they were flirting unashamedly.

"Well, continue with your manicure first. I'll see you later. Kiss, kiss." Thompson blew a kiss to her through the phone. Fortunately for him, no one saw what he did.

"Oh! You are so naughty. Stop doing that. Alright then. See you later. I am looking forward to it."

Blushing, the lady deliberately raised her voice so the people around would hear her. Perhaps her action was to make them feel jealous. Of course, Thompson knew what she was doing. He could read women's thoughts perfectly.

When Jacob left, he took with him more than half of the working capital. Although the amount wasn't much the company's stability was affected greatly.

At that time, Jonathan was happy that he had driven his cousin away. But soon he realized that his actions would bring him hell. This was probably Jacob's revenge on him.

Lack of money wasn't exactly the problem of the business. The major problem was that the company's capital chain might break. If that happened, then nothing could be done to salvage the situation.

All the years he had dreamed of being the CEO would go down the drain. 'Aaargh! I can't let that happen!' Jonathan roared in his heart.

"Well, Jonathan, stop complaining. Isn't this the best time to show your ability? If you revive the company and take it beyond where it used to be, don't you think the employees would admire you? I advise that you make good use of this opportunity,"

Thompson said with sincerity in his voice.

Although he said all that, he shook his head in doubt. Thompson still didn't think that Jonathan could make the business successful. 'What I was thinking when I chose this man as my partner?' he scolded himself.

Now Thompson wasn't sure yet of Jonathan's ability. He had never seen him make any significant move since they became allies.

Before he met Jonathan, he only heard stories of him being the sworn enemy of his cousin. Even when Thompson hired a private investigator to look into his past, the results were very sketchy. Nonetheless, he partnered with him because they had a common goal.

Of course, their alliance didn't extend further than destroying Jacob. But they were still at the preliminary stage of their plans. And it was difficult for him to tell what Jonathan was capable of doing.

"I like your suggestion. Well, you can come to the company. I would prefer that we discuss face-to-face. That way, we wouldn't miss out on any detail." Immediately he said that Jonathan hung up the phone.

As it is often said, half a loaf is better than none. Jonathan finally understood this. Even though he didn't particularly like Thompson, he needed a partner badly.

Not only did he need business partners, but he also needed someone who would work together with him. Unfortunately, Jonathan didn't have many friends. He didn't even have acquaintances in the business circle.
