Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber) novel Chapter 541

"What do you mean?" Jared narrowed his eyes.

What had his father gone through?

At the mention of Hendrik, Shonna's whole face changed, becoming sad and lonely.

She sat down on the armrest of the sofa, and her eyes looked like two hollow holes. Her usually snobbish and mean face now became peaceful, and there was even a hint of guilt.

"More than ten years ago, when I married your father, what I got was not the blessing of others, but ridicule. No one in the circle accepted me, and your father became a joke in the circle. Because he married me, a woman who wasn't born well, who wasn't well-educated, a good-for-nothing in their eyes."

Shonna stroked the ring on her finger.

The ring was a platinum diamond ring, but it was not shiny at all. The whole ring was gray and looked very old. It was obvious that it had been worn for many years and had never been taken off for cleaning.

Moreover, the ring was still a little small for her. It cut her ring finger into two pieces and the meat on both sides bulged.

Even so, she still did not take it off.

It could be seen that this ring had an extraordinary significance to her.

Shonna looked down at the wedding ring that Hendrik had put on her finger and said slowly, "Your father was originally the most outstanding man in the circle, but ever since he married me, the people in the circle have all distanced themselves from your father. Because they think that your father brought me into the upper circle to lower the level of this circle, so they often laughed at your father for not having good taste, and also designed to shame me and embarrass your father."

At this point, Shonna's fat hand suddenly clenched tightly. Her originally calm face also showed a hint of distortion, and her eyes were red.

"The above is not the most serious. The most serious thing is that the women in the circle know that I am uncultured, so they joined forces to mess with me. They said that I should give several important contracts to them and let them show their husbands. After reading them, they will collaborate with the Farrell Group. In this way, the Farrell Group will develop even more."

"You did it?" Jared raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, I didn't know anything, but I wanted to help your father. But after I did that, not only did I not help your father and the Farrell Group, but I also harmed your father and caused your father to lose an important contract, causing the Farrell Group to be in great turmoil that year."

"I know that." Ben pushed up his glasses, "That year, the Farrell Group was greatly damaged. In the end, if not for the old lady standing up to save the situation, the Farrell Group might really be in trouble. I heard that Lady Georgia dismissed Mr. Farrell from his position as president."

"Father lost a few important contracts, causing the company to be in turmoil. Grandmother could not explain to the shareholders if she didn't dismiss him." Jared opened his thin lips and said lightly.

"Yes, that's why your father was depressed during that period of time. He drank a lot of wine every night. In the end, the old lady couldn't stand it anymore and asked your father to go abroad for a business trip and reach an agreement with a wealthy family overseas. That way, those shareholders would look at him in a new light. Then, he would be able to resume his position as president. But I didn't expect..."

She covered her face and her emotions collapsed instantly. She cried.

"My father died in a foreign hotel." Jared clenched his fists and said in a hoarse voice.

Shonna nodded while crying.

"I know now why you always say that Amber is not suitable for me. The Reed family is in dire straits and has fallen out of the ranks of the rich and powerful families. You think that Amber can't help me, can't help the Farrell Group, and may even drag me down. Like my father, I will be looked down on and ridiculed by the people in the circle."

"Yes. That's exactly what I meant. I've already killed your father. I don't want you to walk the same path as your father." Shonna looked up at him.

That was why she had humiliated Amber six years ago and why she liked Makenna.

Because the Gardner family had not fallen out of the ranks of the rich and powerful families, Makenna had Trenton backing him up. She was much better than Amber, that orphan girl.
