Hunting for His EX-Wife

A short sentence made Anna stop helplessly.

After apologizing to the driver, Anna slowly turned around.

Her pretty eyes were fixed on Jimmy.

“Mr. Harrison, what exactly do you want? I believe there are many women who would like to have dinner with you, so please spare me for now, okay?”

Jimmy walked straight up to Anna, a faintly wicked smile crossing his lips.

“Get on, let’s talk.”

Anna had no choice but to get into Jimmy’s precious sports car, as his persistence left her with no other option.

The car was spacious, but she felt uneasy sitting inside, especially with Jimmy’s deep eyes that seemed like a cold pool locked onto her. It made her feel like she couldn’t breathe.

In order to relieve her tension and panic, Anna spoke to break the overly eerie silence between them. “Mr. Harrison, what do you want to talk to me about?”

“Charlee is the person who harmed you, why didn’t you speak the truth in public?” Jimmy asked straightforwardly.”

Anna was a little flustered.

How could he know? Did he investigate behind my back? Does he know that I drank the pear juice that Charlee gave me?

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Although Charlee and I are not friends, she has no reason to do such a thing. Besides… we don’t have any deep-seated grudges.”

Anna denied Jimmy’s words, but there was a hint of guilt in her sparkling eyes, as she dared not meet Jimmy’s eyes.

Jimmy raised an eyebrow, but he was guessing Anna’s true motive for defending Charlee.

“Why… why are you always staring at me like that?”

The gaze that Jimmy had been fixating on her made Anna even more nervous.

“Mr. Harrison, if you don’t have anything else, I need to go to the hospital to visit my father. I’ll leave now.”

Sitting in the same car with Jimmy, Anna became increasingly nervous. The alluring and domineering aura emanating from Jimmy left her feeling a bit overwhelmed.

“You’re lying, your eyes are filled with guilt and unease.”

Jimmy’s deep voice slowly rang out.

“I… I didn’t.”

Still the same as when she was young, she always blinked when she lied.

“You’re blinking. That’s a sign of guilt,” Jimmy said calmly, with a strange glint in his eyes.

Anna didn’t expect him to guess her guilt.

“I… I just don’t want things to get worse. The judges have approved me, so why bother investigating further? And I believe that after this incident, she won’t do the same thing again. Maybe in the near future, we’ll become good friends,” Anna said lightly.

“Good friends?” Jimmy frowned. “Are you sure Charlee will be your friend? Someone who wanted to harm you won’t change easily unless…”

Jimmy paused for a moment.

“Unless she has other motives.”

But Anna was naturally kind and didn’t agree with him at all.

“People can change. I believe she won’t hurt me again. Besides… besides, I haven’t been hurt,” Anna said calmly with her beautiful eyes full of sincerity.

Jimmy sighed inwardly.

Anna was still as naive as ever. It seemed necessary for him to investigate more about the people around her, including Mia who always called herself Anna’s best friend.

“I only have one good friend, Mia, so if Charlee can really turn over a new leaf, then I don’t mind having another friend,” Anna’s sweet voice mixed with anticipation.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“If possible, please do not pursue this matter anymore,” she added softly.

When Jimmy saw that hopeful look in Anna’s eyes, he couldn’t bear to refuse her request.

“I promise you.”

Finally hearing Jimmy’s promise made a faint smile bloom on Anna’s face once again.

“How long have you known Mia?” asked Jimmy casually. He hadn’t interacted much with Mia but he had always felt that she wasn’t as simple as she appeared on the surface.

Hearing him mention Mia reminded Anna of the cash inside her purse. She hesitated for a moment before opening it and placing 100 thousand cash in front of Jimmy

“I’ll give you back 100 thousand first, and I’ll find a way to gather the rest of the money to pay you back,” Anna said as she handed Jimmy a wad of cash.

Jimmy looked at Anna and then at the cash in his hand. “Where did you get the money?” he asked.

“It doesn’t matter. What matters is that you can take it,” Anna replied with a shrug.

Although there was still a long way to go before she could fully repay him, Anna was confident that she could solve all her problems if she worked hard enough.

Jimmy picked up the cash but instead of pocketing it, he stuffed it into Anna’s bag.

Anna looked surprised and confused by his actions. “What are you doing?”

Just as she spoke, her phone rang suddenly. She quickly answered it and spoke briefly before hanging up with a smile on her face.

“Who was that?” Jimmy asked directly.

Anna didn’t notice the coldness in Jimmy’s eyes as she replied happily, “It was my boss. I got another two-hour part-time job at a bar tomorrow night.”

“Another one? Cancel all your part-time jobs,” Jimmy ordered coldly, his eyes flashing with anger.

“Why? Why should I cancel my jobs? I need to earn money to pay off my debts,” Anna protested angrily as her smile disappeared instantly upon hearing his command.

“As an J. S. Entertainment trainee, why would you work in such shady places like bars? Do you want us to be troubled by negative publicity or damage our reputation?”

Thinking about how men might harass or assault her while working at bars made him unable to control his anger any longer. His body radiated an icy chill while his eyes glinted dangerously.
