The Ex-Wife Strikes Back By Queena Laurie

Chapter 15 

However, Maddox couldn’t laugh. Although they were cooperating, he was passive from beginning to end. Aurelia was the only one who took the initiative and controlled the situation! 

Moreover, she addressed him as Max due to her relationship with Marcellus. In fact, he hadn’t talked to her many times in the past three years! 

When he heard her addressing him as Max at ease, he felt strange! 

“Aurelia, you’d better call me Maddox in the future. It’s weird for you to call me Max!” 

I you 

“Huh? Haha! Okay, Marcellus and I haven’t divorced yet. After the agreement is signed and we are divorced, I won’t call y Max!” Aurelia said jokingly. 

Seeing her relaxed look, Maddox felt even weirder. He couldn’t help but blurt out, “Aurelia, do you really love Marcellus?” 

“Huh? Max, why did you suddenly ask this?” Aurelia was stunned. 

“You said Marcellus would divorce you, but why didn’t you feel sad? Didn’t you always love him?” 

As soon as Maddox finished speaking, he saw Aurelia’s gloomy face. He immediately knew that he had asked what he shouldn’t have asked. He couldn’t help but feel chagrined about his curiosity and could not calm down. 

The relationship between Aurelia and Marcellus was her personal matter. He knew he was in no position to ask her that question. 

“Aurelia, I’m sorry. It’s my fault!” he apologized. 

Aurelia’s face returned to normal again after she heard what he said. She slowly raised her hand and looked at the time on her watch. Her voice sounded natural, and she smiled without any anger. 

“Love is a process, and it won’t always go on. There will be a day when it becomes the past. The relationship between Marcellus and I is about to become the past now! Max, you could also take it as I was tired of this love and marriage without a foreseeable return! I want to change another way of living!” 

“Aurelia, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to!” 

Maddox felt a little ashamed because he saw the anger and pain in Aurelia’s eyes. 

Although she said those words calmly, she might not be so apathetic internally. She and Marcellus were really going to end. their relationship! 

“Max? Are you sympathizing with me? There’s no need to! From now on, you will know that I’m not the one who needs sympathy most!” 

Aurelia smiled confidently and put away her copy of the share transfer agreement. Then, she put on her windbreaker and waved light–heartedly. 

“Well, I still have something important to do. I need to leave now. At last, Max, I hope you can achieve what you want as soon as possible. Goodbye!” 

“Aurelia, wait!” 

“Hmm? Anything else?” 

Aurelia turned around and looked at him in surprise. Maddox felt that her unintentional glance penetrated his heart. making his heart race. He forgot what he wanted to say instantly, which was very unpromising. 

He had to look at her awkwardly and smiled stiffly. “Nothing. I just want to say thank you!” 

Chapter 15 

“You’re welcome. We are just exchanging needs!” 

Aurelia nodded gracefully and left the private room. 

After Aurelia left, Maddox was still at a loss. Looking at the private room door closed, he didn’t move a bit. 

The attorney couldn’t help but remind him softly, “Mr. Francois? Mr. Francois?” 

“Oh! Kenley, keep the agreement. Please don’t rush to deliver and notarize it. I want to wait until the critical moment to show my trump card!” 

“I know what to do, Mr. Francois! Don’t worry! The girl just now is Deputy Sheriff Swanson’s daughter?” he asked in a low voice without hiding his curiosity. 

Maddox thought he was a confidant and didn’t have much scruples about him. He nodded, feeling very emotional. 

That’s right. I only learned today that my sister–in–law is so secretive! It’s worthy of being an official. Her ability to play dumb is so natural as if she were born with it.” 

After saying that, Maddox paused momentarily before continuing. “Look at her previous behavior. She was calm and relaxed. She betrayed the Francois family with a snap of her finger without even blinking! It can be seen that such a woman is so difficult to mess with!” 

Kenley Acosta witnessed this with his own eyes. Facing such a significant transaction, she didn’t say anything and ate the simple meal elegantly as if she had an ordinary dinner with her friends. 

Even those who were a little less confident could not do that easily. 

No wonder someone like Maddox mused that she was terrifying! 

“However, it was all Marcellus and Ricardo’s fault. Since Marcellus married this woman, they should treat her as a queen. However, not only they failed to do so, they even offended her so badly. Otherwise, how could Aurelia act so fast and give her counterattack? Kenley, I’m really curious about what my brother did to have offended Aurelia so badly! Anyway, today’s results are really satisfying to us! Don’t you think so?” 

Hearing that, Kenley smiled happily. 

Aurelia was not interested in how Kenley and Maddox would discuss her after she left. She was excited that with the 8 million dollars. Michael’s problem and danger were half solved. 

Even if the Office of State Inspector General found that Michael had misappropriated the two special funds, as long as she could cover it up in time, at most, Michael would only be convicted for misappropriation of government funds and warned by Congress. 

It was impossible to charge Michael for bribery anymore. 

In fact, even if Aurelia stopped doing anything. Michael wouldn’t be in prison anymore as he had been in her previous life! 

However, since Aurelia knew she was reborn, she vowed to get whatever she did not and wanted her family to own whatever they did not in her previous life.
