Chapter 10
Peter IVV
This is definitely just a prank Leora wants to play with me. She deliberately approached Jayden Jeremiah to make me
jealous.
I don’t know what my ex–wife wants, but she looks very different even though my lawyer just handed over her official divorce papers a few days ago.
Mom pulled my hand hard and glared. She must have been very annoyed to see Leora How come The clothes Leora wore were very nice and I was sure I had seen them in one of the famous fashion magazines. Her bag and shoes matched, she even wore light makeup which made her face look bright and very beautiful
“Have you moved the bag on top of the cupboard, Peter? Leonasked in a very calm tone, as if Jayden’s words saying that he was loved by Jayden was a normal thing she heard every day. That bag contains books I owned when I was in college and now I need them.”
I looked at Leora with a gambling chest and it was hard to blink, Lizzy pinched my waist irritably, trying to divert attention, but I couldn’t take my eyes off Leora.
“Peter” Leora scolded.
It hit me. “N–no. The bag is still up here. You can take it if you want
Can you grant it for me?” Leora asked politely. “Or am I still allowed to go into the room and take it myself? The room must have changed to Lizzy’s taste, right? What color is it? Neon pink?”
“Don’t make fun of me, Leora!” Lizzy snapped. “Your own taste is so inappropriate!”
“Ms. Lizzy, be careful talking to my Leora,” Jayden hissed sharply. “At your current age, it is a bit difficult to start a new career in a new company”
I saw Lizzy’s face turn pale and she quickly lowered her head. I think she must be afraid of losing her job and ruining her own career in front of Jayden.
I cleared my throat softly and motioned for Leora to follow me to the room
Th take you to get your things,” I said.
Leora’s eyebrows rose, but she nodded, then took Jayden’s hand gently.
“Wait for me a moment, JJ, I’ll be right back,” said Leora.
Jayden smiled. “Yes, sweety, I’ll wait for you here. Scream if something happens or something scares you.”
Gosh, they even call each other cute names. It’s really annoying
I walked into the room first and immediately grabbed her hand and cornered Leora against the wall after we arrived in the room. She stared at me without blinking, as if she knew I would do this.
“What, Peter? Arent you afraid Lizzy will see you acting like this?” Leora asked with raised eyebrows and a mocking smile.
I put my hands next to her neck, confining her so he couldn’t go anywhere.
“Who is he, Leora?” I asked,
Feelings of annoyance and jealousy made my chest feel like it was going to explode. Yes, I’m jealous. How could my

country bumpkin ex–wife be with a Billionaire like Jayden Jeremiah, just a few days after we divorced?
I gave her nothing in this divorce, even when one of my lawyersold me it was a cruel and inappropriate thing to do.
Why should I give her my treasure? She has enjoyed many things while being my wife, even though before she was just a poor woman who was alone and an orphan.
Leora also can’t give me children, so there’s no guarantee that I geed to hear it for her.
Besides, 1 will soon have Lizzy’s child, it’s better for me to prep Leora. After all, she asked for a divorce first and arrogantly said
for the birth of my child than to waste it on the useless. he didn’t want to accept my money.
Was it because she knew that she would soon be together with Jayden after breaking up with me? When and how did they get to know each other?
I felt confused, because as far as I know, during our marriage, Lepra very rarely left the house and interacted with other people. The world revolves around me, my mother and my little sister.
She has a friend from when she was living at the orphanage and also her adoptive mother at the orphanage, but they also rarely communicate.
“You heard what Lizzy said earlier, right? Leora said calmly. “Jayden Jeremiah is the 11th generation of the Noble Billionaire Jeremiah family. He has many large companies spread throughout the world and operates in various industrial fields, even I didn’t know he had that many. We haven’t had time to talk about many things.”
My knuckles turned white because I clenched too hard.
“I know who he is,” I snapped irritably. “What I’m asking is, why are you two together and how do you know each other? Have you had an affair with her while you were still with me?”
Leora laughed and pushed my hand away from her side, then pushed me gently.
You must be crazy to think that I cheated on you while I was with you,” said Leora in a mocking tone. “You think, with your mother’s eagle–like eyes and your sister’s razor–sharp mouth, I can even move just to go to the supermarket for more than half an hour?”
“But there’s no way you’re with him, right? Are you the one who asked him to act to make me jealous?” I said.
Leora, who was walking towards the cupboard, suddenly stopped and turned around. She looked at me with a cynical expression
“Why are you always so proud of yourself, Peter?” he said coldly “The world doesn’t revolve around you and nature doesn’t always obey what you think. Whatever my relationship with Jayden is, it’s absolutely none of your business and you shouldn’t worry about it!”
“But if it turns out that you had an affair with him while you were still married to me, then you have to-
“What?” Leora interrupted my words. “I have to pay you a fine? Then what about what you did with Lizzy until she got pregnant? Are you guys just playing lewd doctors and flirtatious patients?”
I was stunned. Why did Leora become so different in just a few days? Usually she is very quiet and never argues. She is also gentle and polite.
Jayden loves me and he would never betray me like you did!” Leora hissed. “You don’t need to care about me, take care of your family and enjoy everything you have now while there’s still time.”

“What do you mean, Leora?” you asked angrily. Why do I feel as if she is trying to threaten me? Does she feel so superi just because Jayden Jeremiah is with her?

Chapter 10
Leora walked back to the cupboard while shrugging her shoulders and took a bag from the top of the cupboard, stepped on the mattress where my mother had just replaced the sheets with new ones, while still wearing her shoes.
“You’re rude, Leora,” he said annoyed. “My mother just changed the sheets and you dirty them with your
shoes.
Leora chuckled and pulled out the bag containing her books, “k! Your mother should be grateful that this bed sheet was stepped on by these shoes designed by Miguel Nandi. These shoes are limited edition and the price is more than your three months‘ salary. Hasn’t your mother always liked expensive shoes
I looked at Leora leaving carrying the bag nonchalantly and leaving the room.
Jayden, who was sitting on the sofa, accompanied by Lizzy and my mother, stood up to welcome Leora.
“Have you taken all your things, sweetie? Jayden asked gently.
Leora nodded and put her arm around Jayden’s arm. “Let’s get out of here, IJ. I’m starting to feel stuffy, being in this circle of unpleasant air.”
My mother seemed to want to answer Leora’s words, but I quickly held back.
“I think my darling wants to go home,” said Jayden. “I will say goodbye now. Thank you for your hospitality, Mrs. Moira and Ms. Lizzy.”
Jayden just nodded at me and his hand landed on Leora’s waist and took her out of my house.
I was stunned after they left. My chest feels tight.
