Chapter 47_A Love Forgotten

When I woke up the next day, Frank was already waiting outside my door with a nurse.

 He looked at my new injuries and shook his head. “I shouldn’t have allowed you to leave. Mr. Wood gave me an earfulst night.”

 I felt guilty and replied, “I didn’t know I woulde across Elijah either. Sorry for troubling you.”

 Frank shook his head. “Yeah. You almost made me lose my job. Quit running around.”

 I nodded

 In truth, I couldn’t go anywhere either since this matter was still being processed at the police station. Moreover, I needed to recover from my injuries as well.

 The Wood residence was huge, and it had a lovely garden too. There were also outstretched walls of roses in the garden,

 However, just as I was admiring the walls of roses, Ruby appeared with someone I’d never want to see.

 I frowned. “Ms. Cornell, why are you here?”

 Ruby raised her chin and looked at me in disdain. “She’s my senior, and I’m a member of the Wood family. Why can’t I bring her here?”Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.

 So, I turned to leave.

 Behind me, Jocelyn spoke softly, “Ms. York, I’d like to speak with you.

 I raised a brow. “What could we possibly talk about?”

 Without Elijah by her side, Jocelyn didn’t bother putting up the pure and frail angel facade.

 She gave a half–smile. “We’ve never spoken before. Since you want a divorce from Elijah, and I want to be with him, we must have a lot inmon.”

 I understood what this was about–Jocelyn couldn’t wait to put her cards on the table.

 I remained silent for two seconds before saying, “Alright, let’s talk.”

 Jocelyn smiled. “As expected, you’re a smart woman, Ms. York.

 “I’ve only got one thing to say. Divorce Elijah. I can get him to give you arger share in terms of property division.”

 I snickered. “Then how much do you n to make Elijah give me, Ms. Cornell?”

 She hesitated for a while then put up a finger. “10 million dors.”

 “Huh?” Iughed until my eyes were teary.

 Jocelyn red at me. “Is that not enough for you, Ms. York? I’ve already taken into ount that you stayed with Elijah when he made hiseback. If you weren’t from the York family, you wouldn’t even get

 a cent.

 She moved closer to me, her expression smug. “I know a hundred ways to not only stop you from getting any money, but also put you in debt.”

 Iughed. After patting my chest, I quipped, “How scary. Please have mercy, Ms. Cornell. Don’t make me

 lose everything I have.”

 Jocelyn smirked. “Ariana, I know you must be upset. But I’d advise you to be sensible. Take the money. and get out of Elijah’s sight. Otherwise, your reputation will be ruined, and you’ll get nothing.”

 I couldn’t be bothered to talk any more nonsense with Jocelyn.

 My face turned cold as I said, “Ms. Cornell, if you hadn’t learned math from your PE. teacher, you’d know that I put 50 million dors into Linden Group five years ago. That 50 million dors, converted into Linden Group’s stock, has a market value of over 100 million dors.

 *100 million dors. And you’re going to convince Elijah to pay me 10 million dors to get me to leave?” I chuckled. ‘Ms. Cornell, your tricks are too obvious.”

 Jocelyn looked livid as she clenched her teeth, “20 million dors then. That’s enough, right?”

 I smiled and said nothing.

 But Jocelyn was intent on persuading me. “Elijah has fed you well for the past five years. You can hardly say that he mistreated you.

 “Besides, can you get proof for the 50 million dors? Can you prove that it was yours? You should know that if Elijah didn’t give you stock dividends, your 50 million dors would be lost.”

 I simply chuckled, but my heart was in pain.

 I felt sorry for the person I was before losing my memory. I had sacrificed my money and my heart. I stayed with a man when he was trying to get back on his feet. Yet in the end, his mistress threatened to make me lose everything I had.

 Observing my silence, Jocelyn assumed that I was afraid.

 Her eyes glinted with delight as she continued, “20 million dors is enough for you to live out your life in luxury. Even if you’ve been driven out of the York family, it would be worth it….
