The Wife He Dumped, The Queen She Returned As novel Chapter 102

Preston's face turned completely stormy.

After a moment of silence, he suppressed his voice and said, "One year at most. After a year, I'll transfer Jenna to a branch office."

Right then, Percival Hayes and his entourage walked over.

His expression was grim, his sharp gaze locking directly onto Chloe.

"Come back to Cloudrest Manor with me."

Dropping that single sentence, he walked straight away.

Though she didn't know what it was about, it certainly wasn't anything good.

Chloe originally didn't want to go, but the thought of Preston dragging his feet on signing the divorce papers changed her mind. If it went to court, God knew how long it would drag on. Ultimately, she followed him.

She still had to respect the older man's orders.

Cloudrest Manor.

After getting out of the car, Percival unexpectedly called Preston away instead. "Come with me to the study."

Preston looked at Chloe. "Go rest first. I'll be back soon."

As soon as he left, a figure rushed out in a panic, lunging straight at Chloe.

A hand violently grabbed the hem of her jacket.

Startled, Chloe whipped her head around and saw Jenna Cameron's pale face.

In just one day, she looked entirely wretched—eyes red and swollen, her complexion haggard.

"Chloe!"

She gritted her teeth, her voice trembling. "What is it going to take for you to drop the charges? I can give you whatever you want!"

She had just returned from the courthouse holding cell tonight. Jeremiah Gordon's twisted face was still fresh in her mind.

If he got sentenced, he would definitely drag her down with him!

But over the past few days, she had thrown money at countless lawyers. The well-known ones wouldn't dare take the case, and the smaller firms flat-out told her there was nothing they could do. They made it clear that Jeremiah was going to prison.

Jenna was genuinely panicking now. Her usual arrogance had vanished without a trace, leaving her eyes filled with terror and anxiety.
