Post-Divorce Chaos My Ex-Husband’s Breakdown

Nadia sled awkwardly and said, “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. I just happened to pass by. Sorry for causing so much trouble for you and your family. Our marriage was just an accident. There is a huge gap between us. You have your beloved woman, and I have my pride. Your parents can’t accept me, and I don’t want to make myself feel aggrieved, so let’s just be strangers.”

Matthew stared at her and pursed his thin lips without saying a word.

Nadia also looked at him quietly.

“Considering my family background and my ability, I’m indeed not good enough for you. But there’s always someone in this world suitable for me, so I won’t force myself to integrate with your world.” Nadia siniled. “I wish you and Nathalia a happy ending

Matthew didn’t say anything.

Nadia did not say anything else. After smiling politely, she turned around and was about to go back to her room.

“Nathaliais Mr. Clark’s youngest daughter. She got lost when she was five years old. She went missing under my watch, Matthew suddenly said.

Nadia turned to look at Matthew in surprise

e’s still alive, she is about the same age as you”

Manhew was also looking at her. If she’s

“Im sorry I didn’t know the… Nadia apologized subconsciously.

“I doesn’t matter,” Mathew interrupted her. “Don’t look down on yourself. I didn’t take good care of you. I’m sorry

Nadia said. “It’s my fault.”

“It has nothing to do with you” Mathew let out a breath and regained his usual calmness. Til ask the lawyer to deal with the divorce, and the property will be divided”

“No need” Nadia refused with a smile. “It has nothing to do with me anyway.”

Matthew didn’t say anything. H

He just looked at

a short distance. His brown eyes were cool and somber.

not maintain the smile on her face any longer. She pointed behind her and said, “Then I’ll go back first…

Nadia could not maintain

Matthew suddenly took a step forward and held her tightly in his arms.

“Take good care of yourself, he whispered in her ear, quickly let go of her, and left without looking back.

Nadia stared blankly at hum departing. His figure looked tall and straight in the light. There was a hint of determination and coldness in his calmness. He showed no reluctance or hesitation.

This was Matthew, whom she was familiar with

Nadia couldn’t help smiling, but her tears were dripping down uncontrollably.

Nadia wanted to

d to stop crying, but for some reason, she couldn’t control herself and choked up.

She raised her head slightly and forced back her tears. When she returned to her room, she removed Matthew’s phone number from her phone and unfriended him on Line. She then began to get busy preparing for studying abroad.

She was lucky to get a visa after 30 workdays,

The day before she went abroad, Nadia made a trip home.

As soon as the entered the house, she saw Jayson Crosby, her brother, playing games on the sofa with a relaxed look on his face.

Jayson was six years older than her. He was good–looking and well–educated. He had a bachelor’s degree. In the past, when he was a student, he studied hard. However, as the only son of the Crosby family, he had been pampered by Layla Pittman, his mother, since he was a child. Layla was reluctant to der Jayson suffer, so she had unconsciously spoiled him

He couldn’t bear hardships, and he was conceited but incapable. He didn’t have a job that could last for more than half a year. He thought that the jobs were trivial, that his salary was low, or that his leaders were stupid and didn’t understand him. In short, he always blamed other people and believed he was right

Therefore, after graduating from college for right years, Jayson had achieved nothing. All he thought about was starting his own business and making a lot of money. He took all of his parents‘ money for this and lost much of it. He had never succeeded and was idle at home all day long.

Jayson didn’t notice Nadia coming in, while Layla, who was busy in the kitchen, saw her. Layla walked out and looked behind Nadia out of habit.

“Nadia, why are you back alone? Where’s Matthes?”

Jayson was immersed in the game. He raised his head and instinctively looked behind Nadia “Is Matthew here!”

He didn’t see Matthew, so he looked at Nadia and asked. “Did you quarrell”

Nadia replied, “No.”

“Is he very busy!” Jayson removed his long legs from the table. “By the way, have you asked Matthew to give me the resort project Anyway, he has to find someone to do it. It’s better to choose me rather than outsiders. Don’t let others take advantage of it

“Have you told Matthew about the villa in Laurel Community? That lakeside villa is really good. It’s large and bright. The sales department calls me every few days to urge us to buy it. If we don’t pay the deposit this werk, the villa we chose will be bought by others,” Layla added.

Nadia said, “If you have money, you can buy it

Layla responded, “I just want to borrow some money from Matthew,”

Nadia looked at her and said, “Mom, a villa is sold for over 2 million dollars. You want to borrow 2 million dollars, and you don’t even have the ability to pay it back. Is this borrowing You just want to get money from him.”

Layla lowered her voice. “Then when Jayson gets the resort project, he’ll have the money to pay it back.”

“That’s right, Nadia,” Jayson chimed in “Don’t worry. We don’t want your money. We’ll just borrow it, and we’ll pay you back with interest.”

Nadia looked at him and said, “Why should he give you the project! You have no experience, no connections, no capital, and no qualifications. Do you think you can rely on your dummy company!”

Ever since she married Matthew, Jayson felt that he had found a way to make money

Jayson knew that Matthew’s family was involved in real estate. It just so happened that Jayson heard from his friends that doing real estate projects was very profitable, so he quickly set up a dummy company. Despite the fact that he had no experience in it, he wanted to use Nadia’s relationship with Matthew to get some projects.

He didn’t really intend to do it himself. He just wanted to sell it for a high price so that he could make a fortune.

Nadia knew what Jayson was planning and that he was incapable. She always stopped him from going to Matthew.

But after all, Jayson was a living person. After she stopped him several times, he knew that she wouldn’t help him, so he went to Matthew privately, just like Layla.

Layla was not thinking about how to make a lot of money

ey like Jayson. She just wanted to get money from M

After Nadia married Mathew, Layla felt proud of herself. She straightened her back and bragged about Nadia marrying into a rich and powerful family to everyone she met.

Layla always boasted about how powerful her son–in–law was and how many things he had done for her family. As a result, all of her relatives came to her for help, such as leading monry, arranging work, pulling strings, and so on.

was vain. Ass

Layla was

soon as her relatives came to her, whether she could help them or not, she would agree and then badger Nadia.

Nadia never indulged her and refused all her requests. She didn’t expect Layla and Jayson to do the same thing. After seeing that Nadia wouldn’t help her, Layla went to Matthew and even his parents in private

Layla always told them, “Nadia is too embarrassed to mention this to you, so she let us discuss it with you.” Or she would say, “Nadia ruined her health in order to give Matthew a child. She has done so much for your family. You…

Nadia only found out about all of this after Selena mocked her.

Therefore, Nadia could understand why Matthew’s parents looked down on her and thought she was a calculating woman who used Matthew to benefit her family, yet she didn’t know what Matthew thought of her. Ile had never mentioned these things to her.

She guessed he probably disdained her family.

Nadia felt extremely embarrassed when she found out about this.

However, Jayson could not understand her embarrassment. When he heard her say “dummy company“, he exploded on the spot. “How can you say it’s a dummy company? Yes, you’re married to a rich man. You’re capable, and you look down on poor relatives like us. I finally understand. No wonder you always refuse to help me.”

Layla did not look happy either. “Nadia, how can you say that about Jayson? You just need to tell Matthew about it. Anyway, his family’s projects wi be handled over to others. Why can’t be consider his in–laws first? We don’t want anything from him.”

“Then let him bid on his own.” Nadia put down her bag. “I’ll go back to my room first”

As soon as the door closed. Layla cursed, “When your father took her back. I said, “We can’t adopt her. She’s not our daughter, so she won’t be on our side even if we raise her. But your father didn’t listen to me and insisted on keeping her in our home. Well, we lived frugally and worked hard to bring her up and even send her to school Now that she has grown up and become capable, she looks down on her poor parents.

Nadia sat down at the table stiffly and shifted her gaze from the empty room to the jewelry box on the table. She hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take it.

In the jewelry box was a necklace with an old–fashioned pendant carved with angels. It was exquisite and elegant, like what a boy would wear. Nadia vaguely remembered that she had worn this necklace when she was a child. She did not know who had put it on her.

The only thing she remembered about her early childhood was this necklace.

Nadia was adopted, and she had known it since she was small.
