Love Mission: Ex-wife Strikes Back

Inside the box, a glistening and expensive-looking diamond necklace sat.

At the sight of this, Jean sneered in her heart. Zoe must have spent a lot of money to buy the necklace.

She could understand Zoe, though. After marrying Barton, Zoe would be the CEO's wife.

Although Jean was utterly pissed at that moment, she still pretended to be cheerful in front of Zoe. With a smile, she asked, "Is it very expensive?"

"Just a little bit," Zoe said. Even though the necklace cost her almost a year's worth of salary, she bought it anyway. All for the sake of getting along well with Barton's daughter in the future.

Usually, Zoe wouldn't spend so much money on a piece of jewelry. But when it came to giving Jean a gift, she knew she couldn't be stingy.

The last thing she wanted was for Barton to feel disappointed in her because she couldn't get along well with Jean.

With a smile, Zoe asked meekly, "Jean, do you like it?"

"Of cour

ther by myself. And besides, Terence is here to help me, so you don't need to worry about him.

You should just go back and rest. I will take good care of my father."

After that, Jean gave her the cold shoulder and left. While watching her walk away, Zoe finally realized that all of Jean's kindness and friendliness towards her was just a lie. It was clear that Jean really didn't like her.

The thought of living a peaceful life with Barton disappeared, causing Zoe to frown in sorrow.

With help from Terence, Jean easily brought back Barton home. While she was busy taking care of her father's needs, Terence tapped her on the shoulder and said goodbye.

"Terence, are you really going to leave me at a time like this?" Jean asked in an obviously upset tone.

"He's back home, what else do you need from me?" Terence responded frigidly.

While stuttering, Jean meekly uttered, "I... I was hoping you can stay with me for tonight."
