Love or Leave Behind Novel

The next day, Shrinaine returned to the stadio

Dora was back at work, and Jennifer was there too.

Jennifer pulled Shelmaine into the office and earnestly asked, “Did you really get divorced?”

“Yes,” Shelmaine simply replied.

“Why? I saw that he seemed very concerned about you at the hospital yesterday, I thought about it all night and couldn’t figure it out.”

shelmaine didn’t want to discuss her personal matters. “It’s already done. There’s no point in talking about it now.”

“I’m not talking about that. I mean, did you get what you were entitled to from the divorce?” Jennifer leaned in and whispered, “Your ex–husband is very wealthy. You shouldn’t end up at a disadvantage.”

This wasn’t aconcem for Shelmaine. When they’d gotten married, she hadn’t thought about these things either. After all, Samuel was the one who wanted to take responsibility, and she was touched by his seriousness.

That was why she’d married him so impulsively.

Jennifer was astonished by Shelmaine’s blank look. “You really don’t know about your ex–husband’s background?”

“What do you mean?”

“Samuel’s family is very wealthy. Don’t you know that after all this time? Have you even met his parents?” Jennifer asked.

Shekmaine couldn’t hide her surprise.

Jennifer continued, “I have a client who’s Samuel’s college classmate. I saw his social media posts with Samuel and found out about his family background by chance. “His family is into private equity investment. Samuel is as well”

Shelmaine had heard a bit about private equity but hadn’t realized that Samuel had such a background,

Upon seeing her reaction, Jennifer decided not to press further. Instead, she said, “Are you okay, Shelly?”

Shelmaine replied, “I’m fine By the way, how’s the situation with Mrs Westwood?”

Jennifer answered, “It’s under control now, but the impact is still being telt. The loss from those business deals was significant. I’ve asked Dora to calculate it.” “I’ll try to find a way to minimize the losses.” Shelmaine immediately decided to focus on work

“Just hang in there.”

“okay.”

“You’ve been working hard lately. If you need a break while the workload is lighter, don’t hesitate to take it. Don’t push yourself too hard.” Jennifer happen to Shelmaine

Shekmaine smiled. “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

Jennifer seemed hesitant but said nothing more.

“Jennifer didn’t want anything bad to

In the afternoon, while Shelmine was busy, a phone call interrupted her

It was her father, Andrew Clarke.

Shelmaine couldn’t even remember the last time they had been in touch. When she heard Andrew’s voice, she felt like he was just a stranger she shared the same blood as “When are you free?” he asked.

She replied, “What’s the matter?”

“You haven’t even called to check in atter so long without contact. Do you plan to never see me again?”

Shelmaine stayed silent.

*Demi got into South Haven University. Aren’t you in South Haven too? She’s all alone and unfamiliar with the place. As her older sister, you should take care of her,” Andrew said Shelmaine sneerd. It was clear now that he had only called because he needed something from her.

She didn’t immediately refuse and said, “Aren’t you around?”

“Yasmin is in poor health and has been hospitalized. I’m awamped with work and can’t manage everything.”

shelmaine found Andrew’s audacity astounding. She couldn’t believe he had the nerve to ask her to take care of his precious daughter.

It was truly ironk.

“By the way, you’re still not married yet, are you? You’re getting older. It’s about time you found someone who will want you in a few years if you don’t?” Shrimane then calmly replied, “I’m divorced.”
