The Reborn Wife Of The Tyrant CEO
Chapter 94 - 93

Chapter 94: Chapter 93

I was looking for Nicholas when one of Ariel’s friends deliberately shoulder–checked me as she walked by

"Hold up!" I wasn’t gonna take that lying down. I grabbed her arm and snapped, ’Are you blind? Apologize!"

No sooner had I said that than her friend came running over, calling, "Nicole!"

Nicole glanced at her approaching friend, then shook off my hand, "What’s the big idea, old lady?"

She was about the same age as Ariel, so calling me an old lady was ridiculous. I got the message.

"What’s up?" Nicole’s friend asked

It’s all her fault! She’s the reason Ariel tried to off herself!" Nicole pointed a finger at me.

Her friend looked at me with hostility

I was both pissed and amused, "My fault? Why would she try to kill herself if she hadn’t done anything wrong? Did you guys waste your time in school? Don’t ethics and honesty matter anymore?"

"Ariel has always rejected your husband" Nicole fumed, "It’s your hubby who won’t leave her alone. Why don’t you give him a piece of your mind? And besides, everyone knows your marriage is nothing but a business deal. You’re just bitter because you can’t get a guy’s love, right?"

Nicholas seemed to notice the argument that was going on and came over

He stood by my side and asked, "What’s going on?"

Nicole looked at Nicholas and was obviously taken aback. Young girls like her couldn’t resist a good looking guy. I noticed earlier during the performance that Nicole would occasionally glance at

Nicholas while she was glaring at me.

She probably thought Nicholas and I didn’t know each other due to the crowded scene

These two ladies were discussing their female friend," I said with a smirk. "You know her too, the one who made headlines with Damon recently"

Nicholas’ expression subtly changed. He held my hand and said, "Why bother talking to people like this?"

His response pissed off Nicole. She stood in front of us and yelled, "Haven’t you heard the saying that love doesn’t care who came first; the one left behind is the third wheel!"

"Ariel is innocent, she was forced into this mess. What gives you the right to bully her?"

I was speechless. These people were all nuts.

I thought they might have been misled by Ariel’s one–sided story and didn’t know the full picture. Now it seemed they had become fans of the supposed epic love story.

Well, I’d make sure they paid for this.

"You’re right." I began to clap, "I thought the same before and filed for divorce, planning to let them be together. But seeing how upset you guys are. I’ve changed my mind. I’ll withdraw the divorce papers tomorrow"

After I finished, Nicole’s face turned pale. She stuttered, "Don’t don’t... don’t you dare withdraw the papers!"

"Ah, Ariel will think you guys are pretty dumb, won’t she? She was about to be officially and legally with him, yet you guys messed it up." I teased.

Nicole became frantic, "No, you can’t withdraw the papers!"

| ignored her and walked away. Nicole tried to grab her again, but I pushed her away harshly. She fell on her butt and looked at me with a mix of fury and helplessness

"Listen up, touch me again, and I have plenty of ways to make you pay. You know why I married Damon? Because my background is way better than you naive kids. How about you blame Ariel’s birth!" I snapped at Nicole.

Nicole stared at me with hurt and anger in her eyes but didn’t dare to retort.

Her friend helped her up, and they slunk away.

Nicholas frowned, "You’re withdrawing the divorce papers?"

Luna must have told him about my divorce lawsuit.

"Yes, I want Ariel to wear the label of the other woman for a little longer. I can’t stand it otherwise! I really meant it.

Her friends dared to be unreasonable to my face, so why should I quickly step aside for them?

Nicholas wanted to say something but ended up giving me a gentle smile, "Okay, I support you."

After hanging out for a bit, Nicholas and I went our separate ways. I headed straight back to my apartment.

The next day. I immediately withdrew the divorce papers. However, Damon somehow got wind of it.

He called me and spoke in a cold tone, "Where are you?"

"What’s up?" I was lounging on the sofa with a face mask on, munching on some fruit.

"You filed for divorce?" Damon asked.

"Yes. Didn’t you refuse to sign the divorce papers?" I sighed, "I saw the video of you saving Ariel. I thought I’d step aside and let you guys be together, but last night I ran into Ariel’s two friends. What they said really got to me."

Damon was silent, probably waiting for me to continue

Sot withdrew the papers. Surprise!"

Damon breathing became heavy. I guessed he was pissed, but I had no clue whether it was about my filing for divorce or withdrawing it

I thought he’d blow his top, but he calmly said, "About my mom visiting Ariel, I misunderstood you. I checked it out. It had nothing to do with you."

I didn’t know how to respond.

I’m at Starlight Estates. Come over, let’s talk. Or you can give me your address. I’ll come to you"

After hearing this, I hung up right away. I didn’t want to talk to him!

But I underestimated Damon’s capabilities If he could find Ariel in time, how could he not find me?

Around seven in the evening. Damon rang my doorbell.

I was about to cook dinner and had ordered some ingredients that were supposed to be delivered. Thinking it was the delivery, I didn’t check the monitor and opened the door.

The moment I saw Damon, I immediately slammed the door shut.

But he was faster than me, barring the door with his hand, then, with a stormy face, he dragged me straight into the living room.

"Spill it. Why the hell did you want a divorce?" Damon had me parking my butt on the sofa, then started grilling me from his high horse.

He probably hadn’t been sleeping well the past few days. The dark circles were clearly visible under his eyes, and he even seemed to be in a worse mood than usual

"Didn’t I already call off the divorce?" I retorted with righteous indignation.

Damon was amused by my response, "Where on earth did you pick up this ludicrous logic?"
