Cold Husband Burning Regret: The Divorce He Couldn't Handle novel Chapter 698

After the two families finished planning the engagement arrangements and the Pembrokes left, the butler walked in, "Sir, Miss Genevieve didn't come home last night. When our people found her, she was in..."

Jensen's face darkened, "Where?"

"At a hotel, with..." The butler didn't dare continue.

But how could Jensen not understand what the butler meant? He was aware of the flies buzzing around his own daughter.

He wasn't some feudal old man. Adults, whether male or female, messing around before was fine, as long as no scandal broke out, he could turn a blind eye.

But now, so close to the engagement banquet, she dared to do this!

Suppressing his rage, Jensen said, "Send someone to bring her back immediately! And remember, don't let any reporters photograph it."

The butler nodded, "Yes, sir."

...

Just as the Howard family car arrived at the hotel, Genevieve was stepping out of the elevator. She ran into the butler who had come to find her as soon as she walked out.

Returning home, she was met at the door by Jensen's gloomy expression the moment she entered. Her tone was carelessly nonchalant, "It's not like I wouldn't come back. Why all the drama to find me?"

"Look at the state of you! If this gets out, what a disgrace!" Jensen roared angrily.

With the engagement banquet so close, he absolutely would not allow any mistakes.

Genevieve laughed twice, "I haven't even gotten married yet. If Jonathan can keep women on the side, can't I find a man to sleep with?"

"Shut your mouth!"

Jensen's chest heaved with fury at these utterly rebellious words. He raised his hand and violently smashed the teacup beside him. Scalding tea splashed all over the floor, and porcelain shards flew everywhere. "Is this what a girl should say? If Jonathan keeps women, that's the Pembrokes' failure in raising their son right. But my daughter doing this, I can't afford to lose this face! Besides, can a mistress turn the world upside down?"

The news of Charlotte and Evander's finalized divorce spread across the internet overnight. The comment sections were buzzing with various speculations and remarks.

When Lilith learned they had actually gotten the divorce certificate, she went to Evander's company, "Evan, weren't you just pretending to divorce? Why did you actually go through with it?"

Natalie turned to look at Evander.

Evander lowered his head to read a document, not even looking up, "Why are you so surprised?"

"How can I not be surprised?" Lilith walked up to him. "After everything that happened, you two didn't actually divorce, and now suddenly you just do. Besides, she's preg——"

Lilith instinctively covered her mouth.

Oops!

Evander paused in turning the page. He looked up at her, "She's what?"
