Mr Melendez Your Wife Wants Divorce Long Ago novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50

Startled by Kimberly’s sudden cry, Emmett’s hand instinctively grabbed a liquor bottle from the nearby table. Without hesitation, he smashed it loudly against the surface of the coffee table, shards scattering everywhere. In one swift motion, he leapt forward, aiming to strike Jayceon across the head with the broken bottle.

Before the blow could land, Samuel quickly wrapped his arms around Emmett’s waist, wrenching the shattered glass from his grasp. “Emmie, you can’t do this,” Samuel urged firmly, concern etched across his face.

Emmett, tall and lean, wore simple casual pants and a plain white T-shirt that did nothing to diminish his striking appearance. Black and red earphone cords were tangled around his ears, giving him an unmistakable youthful energy. His eyes were bloodshot, burning with a fierce intensity as he pointed accusingly at Jayceon.

“Jay, Bella loves you so much! How could you betray her like this?” Emmett’s voice cracked with a mix of anger and desperation.

Jayceon, holding a tissue in his hand, tossed it aside and rose to his feet. He casually approached Emmett, reaching out to adjust the tangled earphone cables.

“Don’t touch me!” Emmett snapped back, his glare sharp and unyielding, his neck stiffening with defiance.

Jayceon let out a sigh, his tone calm but probing. “Does your sister know you came here to see me?”

Samuel tightened his grip on Emmett’s arm as the younger man lashed out with a sudden kick aimed at Jayceon. “You don’t deserve her. I’ll pay you back every cent, no matter what it takes, so she can divorce you!”

Jayceon frowned, weariness evident in his eyes. “Emmett, Bella and I are not getting divorced,” he said slowly, enunciating each word for clarity.

He then signaled to Samuel to release Emmett and gently took hold of Emmett’s arm himself. “Come on. Let me take you home.”

But before he could move, Emmett swung a powerful roundhouse kick at Jayceon’s head. Jayceon ducked just in time and raised his arm to block the blow. With a firm grip, he locked Emmett’s shoulder, preventing any further attacks.

“I know you’re skilled at taekwondo,” Jayceon said with a hint of a smirk, “but you’ll need a few more years before you can beat me.”

“Jayceon, you bastard!” Emmett spat, rage flooding his voice.

At that moment, Arabella entered the room, her presence immediately shifting the tension. Jayceon released Emmett as soon as he saw her.

Arabella hurried forward, shoving Jayceon aside and pulling Emmett back protectively. She scanned him quickly for any injuries. “Emmie, are you hurt?” she asked, her voice a mixture of worry and relief.

Emmett, tall and solidly built, stood before her with a fierce yet obedient expression. “Bella, when I’m older, I’ll teach him a lesson for you,” he promised with determination.

Just then, Kayla and Roderick appeared, gathering their children and preparing to leave without delay.

Arabella’s parents had always adored her, showering her with love and care since she was a child. It was clear she had sought their help.

Her parents, heartbroken over her unhappy marriage, must have offered that jewelry set as collateral to support her divorce.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so firm about repaying the money quickly and ending the marriage.

Leaning against a cabinet nearby, Samuel asked, “Arabella wants a divorce now. Are you still not telling her the truth?”

Jayceon’s expression darkened. “Back then, my grandpa went behind my back and threatened Gina, forcing her to go abroad and marry, just so I’d move on. Gina left quietly and kept the truth hidden for six years, sacrificing her own happiness for my career and so I could take over the company. She suffered so much during those years. She wouldn’t have come back to find me unless she had no other choice.”

He paused, his voice heavy with the weight of his secret. “If I reveal my relationship with her and Leo, my grandpa would never allow them to stay in my life. For the sake of the Melendez Group and his reputation, he would do whatever it takes to eliminate any threats.”

“I have to prove the child is mine, so that he and my father will leave Gina and Leo alone.”

Samuel frowned. “Can’t you just move Georgina and the kid to another city?”

Jayceon shook his head in frustration. “I tried. Gina refused. Her mother and brother won’t leave either. I’ve even offered money, but she won’t accept it.”
