OH PLEASE, MY EX-WIFE

"Alice, how dare to speak to her like that. Janet is here to give you some advice. Don't be such an ungrateful person." Joanna says haughtily. Janet is here, that's why Joanna has nothing to be afraid of.

Alice looks at the shrews in front of her, she feels helpless and speechless. The only thing she wants is for them to leave her alone. Why does that become the hardest thing to come true?

Alice ignores Joanna. She knows Janet is the main person to talk to today, and she knows that they are not leaving until they get what they are here for.

"Mrs. Smith, aren't you afraid that Edward would find out about you coming to the hospital to see his ex-wife? And all those dirty little secrets you hid from him? I believe that he will be interested in knowing the fact of why I left him five years ago." "You, shameless woman! How dare you threaten me? Alright then, I will make sure you can never say a word to Edward!" Janet's hands are shaking from her anger. She takes her phone out of her purse.

Joanna looks at Alice with disdain. She knew it! Alice must have want Edward back. Otherwise, what's the reason she didn't want to leave?

Funny! She even said it's Edward who keeps harassing her. What a joke! Yes, they were a married couple before but now they have divorced.

Besides, Edward hasn't been talking to her for so many years. If Alice didn't come back, she is pretty sure she and Edward are living happily ever after.

When the thought comes to Joanna's mind, her eyes are filled with evilness. She wants Alice to be gone for good!

Joanna looks at Janet. She knows, Janet must have some way to get rid of Alice. It still doesn't mean anything that she contributed ideas to Janet the last time they get rid of Alice.

She is the daughter of the Mayor, and Janet is the mother of Edward. They have the upper hands already.

"Hello, is this the Director? Yes, I'm Edward Smith's mother. I would like to fire an employee in your hospital. She has a terrible reputation in messing around with other's fiancé and a record of divorce. She is from the Department of Andrology. I want it done right away!"

"Name? Her name is Alice Roberts. Yes, she is new to the hospital. I hope you would be more aware in the future about what kind of people you hire in a hospital. Not anyone is qualified to work here, especially those shameless sluts!"

Joanna stands beside and listens to their conversation. She heard the Hospital Director's voice from the phone. He sounds obedient and agrees to all Janet's orders. When Janet asks him to fire Alice, he agrees and apologies to Janet, claiming that it's his careless mistake.

Janet purposely put their conversation on the loud-speaker, so that Alice could hear everything.

She listens to the familiar voice. She has met the Director before. He looks strict in his work. However, from the conversation she heard, he sounds like he is about to bow to Janet.

After ending the call, Janet looks at Alice arrogantly and says, "Don't ever think that I will buy your story. Leave, and never come near to Edward ever again."

It is just ridiculous! Alice says, "Mrs. Smith, you've made a mistake. I did not want to see Edward. Please, ask your son to stop harassing me and stay away from me!"

Alice grabs her purse and walks towards the exit.

"Did I say you could leave?"

Alice stops. Her eyes are filled with unbendingness and anger and her lips curves into a mirthless smile. She glares at Janet who blocks her way. "Is there anything else, Mrs. Smith?"

"What an ill-mannered woman. Did I say you could leave?" Janet taunts Alice with her condescending attitude.

Alice clenches her fist. The anger is almost too much to suppress. However, when her mother and Edward's face comes across her mind, she bites her lips and tells herself, in order to go back to her peaceful life, she will need to withstand all of these. "Mrs. Smith, you made a call to the hospital director to get me fired and you have already get that done. What else do you want to from me?" Alice asks.

Janet is satisfied with Alice's reaction. Joanna, who stands behind Janet becomes more puffed up. "What do we want? We want you to leave Edward for good and never seeing him again!" Alice laughs.

It is a disdaining laugh. It makes Janet uncomfortable, "What are you laughing at?"

"If this is what you are worrying, you can put your mind at ease. He is at the top of my list of people I don't want to meet, and that includes you two." Alice walk passes Janet and head directly to the exit. Edward! Five years ago, you made me left and abandon my hometown.

Now, you made me lose my job. I never want to see you anymore!Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Janet, could she be saying these on purpose?" Joanna watches Alice leave. Although she is happy about getting rid of her, she can't help but worries that Edward would be furious if he ever finds out about it.

All these years, Joanna never afraid of anything but Edward being angry with her and ignores her.

"I don't care what she's thinking. If she dares to do anything, I will make sure that she regrets coming back!" Janet's eyes are filled with evilness. Joanna feels relieved after hearing what Janet says. She knows that she won't need to worry about Alice anymore, as long as Janet is here. "But...what if she tells Edward that we are here..." Joanna's eyes are filled with worries.

Janet looks at her and understands what she meant right away. She replies, "If Edward ever questions you, I will talk to him. Don't worry." ""You're the best!"

Joanna holds Janet's hand and words of praises keep coming out from her mouth.

Not sure if Janet believes in all her words. A smile stays on Janet's cheek since when they are on their way back to the Smith Mansion. When they arrive at the house, Janet even makes a call and asks Edward to come home early for dinner. Meanwhile, Edward, who stationed in the SA Group office, didn't know what happened in the hospital. There is a tinge of uneasiness haunting him the whole day.

He picks up his mother's phone call and promises her to go home for dinner. After ending the call, his brows furrow. He takes out his phone and dials a set of familiar combinations of numbers.

The phone call is connected and gets hang up right away.

Edward's face turns cold. How dare she hang up on him!

Edward redials the number in frustration.

It turns out the same.

"How dare she ignore my phone call!" Edward looks at the screen of the phone in anger. His face is covered in a sullen look. Allen, who just came in to present the work report, don't even dare to start talking after seeing Edward's expression. D☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
