Jenna prepared herself after putting her phone away and got in a taxi to the City Hall while repressing the anguish in her heart and the scorching sensation in her body.
It was a minute later. Rex attempted to contact Jena twice, but no one picked up, so he hung up and refused to try again.
Jenna was incredibly pale as she sat on a seat. Rex approached her an hour later with a stern, expressionless face and a chilly glance as he moved over.
"What specifically are you not happy with? Even though I know you have given more blood this month than usual, I have already paid you."
Jenna lifted her head to meet his harsh glare, "Let's simply get a divorce." She no longer wanted to talk to Rex Hidalgo; her voice was calm and collected.
They never repeated the same thing when speaking.
Jenna focused on the man's distinctive features as he stood before her. She fell head over heels in love with him because he was tall and attractive, but he, on the other hand, never once smiled at her.
She used to be careful not to aggravate him in the past, but now she felt numb when she saw his stern face.
Rex gave Jenna a melancholy glance. All her demands or requests were acceptable, but he could not accept that she did not respect authority.
'Is she certain she is the only person who can give blood?'
"Jenna, don't regret your decision."
Jenna smiled pitifully, "What I regret most is marrying you two years ago." She finally gave it some thought, and just now, nothing could be more apparent.
'I've endured enough pain in this union with Rex Hidalgo, I thought. It's enough already!'
They were the last couple standing in line because it was close to closing.
Their two years of marriage ended so hastily, in a matter of minutes.
The instant Jenna held the divorce certificate, and her heart quivered a little.
Rex did not even glance at her or say anything about wanting her to stay.
"Let's go to the hospital."
He still remembered to use her one last time.
Jenna lifted her head and laughed out loud. "Rex Hidalgo, I won't waste another drop of blood on her, even if she dies in front of me in the future."
Rex's eyes abruptly darkened. "Don't forget, the condition of our marriage back then is that you'll donate blood whenever she needs it. How could you curse Alice like that while she's sick?"
Jenna had a heart-stab-like sensation at that exact moment. She was in excruciating discomfort.
'Right... Only because I have golden blood could I marry him. I committed to giving Alice Florence my precious and uncommon Rh-null blood anytime she needed it.'
Jenna's gaze wavered as she met his, but all that could be seen in his eyes was his usual indifference.
Her grin grew wider until she finally let forth a chilly, uncontrollable chuckle.
'I should have realized long ago that Rex Hidalgo saw me as nothing more than a lowly walking blood bank.'
"Don't worry, I'll give her my blood one last time and settle our score, Rex Hidalgo; I don't give a damn about being your wife."
She gave Rex a mysterious smile before turning to walk away.
Rex had slightly knitted brows. He felt strangely irritated. He sensed that Jenna was not the same today, but he could not put his feelings into words. She appeared to be beyond his control.
He believed that he already knew her well with the two years of marriage. Before their marriage, she was clingy and insistent, but afterward, she developed into a meek and submissive wife.
Alice recently needed more blood transfusions. Jenna was a good wife, but he still felt terrible about it. He was irritated by Jenna's unexpected divorce request, but it was necessary.
Rex's dark eyes grew more intense as he managed to calm his irritated heart. 'Forget it; when she can't make it on her own, she'll naturally come back begging.'
Before Rex could respond, Jenna called a taxi and made her way to the hospital from the side of the road. She pushed the door open after locating Alice Florence's VIP area.
Alice was approached by a few medical professionals who attentively inquired if she was in pain.
Alice's eyes flitted, and she appeared ecstatic when she saw Jenna.
"Jenna, you're finally here! Are you not mad at me for always bothering you because of my poor health? I was worried that your body couldn't take it." Jenna approached her with a stern expression as she marched over.
"You did send that text, correct?"
She made a direct statement.
Jenna brutally slapped Alice's face before she could respond.
Alice yelled, "Ah!" and covered her cheek.
Rex shouted, "Jenna! What are you doing?!" His eyes grew heavy, and his face turned stormy. The man spoke in a chilly tone. 'He arrived in a hurry. Was he perturbed that I would harm Alice?' Jenna pondered. Alice pouted and appeared anxious. She covered her cheek and looked behind Jenna as her eyes filled with tears at the crack of dawn. "I didn't do anything, Jenna. You misunderstood me." she protested loudly. 'Is Jenna insane? How could she strike me in Rex's presence?' Jenna grinned. Stop acting; I know it was you. Jenna approached Alice with a piercing, hard stare as she pulled a printed image of Rex from her bag and threw it in their direction. Rex was startled and perplexed as he stared at the picture. Alice's face similarly darkened and became paler at once. He had a long day yesterday and fell asleep briefly when visiting Alice in the hospital. It was evident that this photo was taken in secret at that time. Alice Florence was the only other person in the room. Rex w
Regardless of whether Alice was ashamed or not, Jenna gave a damn. Alice struggled as she saw the woman tear the bandage off her bandaged left leg.The temperature in the ward fell to below zero all of a sudden.Jenna scoffed as she observed Alice's leg being watched.“Wow, it's so terrible that not even a drop of blood is running out. If I arrived a little later, I'm worried that your ‘wound’ will totally heal.”“Jenna! You... Rex, it's not like that... It's only that I'm feeling weak right now and will recover better with a blood transfusion.”The man turned to look at Alice. As she frantically explained, her heart raced.Four to five times a month, you get hurt. You're attempting to drain my blood, in my opinion. You won't have another chance like this in the future. “Jenna added in a chilly tone. Arrange for Rex to wed another fool to become your new mobile blood bank.Jenna snorted after that and walked out of the ward without turning around.Jenna collapsed on a bench in the hal
Jenna leaped into Marcus Anderson's arms and started sobbing uncontrollably as soon as he approached. Marcus sighed in sorrow and resentment at his daughter. She had never experienced the least amount of suffering since she was a young child, yet she behaved so pitifully in front of Rex Hidalgo. Even worse, Rex never once expressed gratitude for his adorable daughter. Marcus would have destroyed the Hidalgos and killed that cretin to avenge his princess if not for their prior agreement! Jenn, you have to abide by our deal, okay? Remember, if that bastard doesn't fall in love with you within two years, you'll return to succeed me in the company. Marcus rubbed his daughter's hair tenderly while she sobbed. Jenna eventually began to cry and speak sporadically. Don't worry, Dad... I won't act that foolishly again. Despite their advice, Jenna left her family and friends behind to pursue her alleged "true love." Like a moth to a flame, she abandoned her identity, privileged status, an
Stella laughed out of frustration as she cocked her head back. She was itching to stand up and scream at Dianne. She wanted to slap her face as hard as she could. "Jenna, is this the outcome of your three years of arduous labor for these people? How did you tolerate this for three years when we could smell poverty? Well, you can, but I can't!" Dianne stumbled backward and nearly collapsed as Stella stepped forward and shoved her. You're just a nouveau riche with that meager sum of money. Watch how I'll paint your floors with your blood! If you dare, come at me with your old wrinkly limbs! I'm telling you, if it weren't for Jenna, I wouldn't have even heard of Hidalgos! Dianne pointed at Stella and Jenna while shaking with rage. She yelled at them. "You...you...you, Jenna. I'll expel you from the Hidalgo family!" As in the past, Jenna did not express regret and made restitution. She stared at Dianne without making any facial expressions. I won't need to be ejected, so please don'
Stella had been criticizing the Hidalgos since Jenna and Stella left the Imperial Palace till they returned home. "That elderly woman is senile. I would have given her a lesson if it weren't for her young age!" Being accustomed to it, Jenna grinned. "Ignore it. Stay above her level, please. But they won't be around anymore." The two women were conversing and giggling. When they eventually returned to the Anderson Mansion, Gino Anderson sat on the sofa reading the newspaper. Gino Anderson was rarely seen because he was constantly busy at work. He conveyed a noble, stern, and uncaring appearance.Jenna acted like a spoiled child and joyfully ran over and gave him a back hug. He still felt like he knew him even after two years had passed. "Big brother, welcome back at last! When you sent me home, why did you vanish?" Gino saw her squirm around him helplessly and adoringly. The warm ambiance dispelled his chilly aura. "I was required to attend a crucial meeting. As soon as everything e
The image of Alice and Rex sharing a bed was the one Jenna uploaded. Their closeness was evident. What was once a sharp object used to harm Jenna became a self-defense shield. The statement that Jenna released was as follows: [Dear Mr. Hidalgo I was shocked to learn that "Daydream" had been taken, so I hired a private investigator to find it overnight. The jewelry was discovered by the detective in the Philippines, where Ms. Elena Hidalgo had left it. Ms. Hidalgo is a world-class gambler. I'm hoping you'll look into this carefully before drawing any conclusions. Regards,Jenna] Along with the report from the renowned private investigator, Jenna also included a distinct image of "Daydream" from the gambling table with Elena Hidalgo. The already raging rumor quickly become much more chaotic. Despite being placed in a precarious situation, Jenna Hidalgo, Rex Hidalgo's divorced ex-wife, hired a respected private investigation firm and even cleared her name during the day without di
After hanging up the phone, Rex Hidalgo massaged his temples. He had a dejected expression and was incredibly agitated.Jenna did not answer the phone when he called her, as was to be anticipated, and she even blocked him.Rex slammed his phone down on the desk violently that it rattled loudly. He gave Mike a chilly look."Find out where Jenna is by going. I need a response within fifteen minutes."Mike hung his head even lower because he thought he might lose his job."Mr. Hidalgo, I sent someone to find out where Ms. Jenna was. It appears that she is away from New York. No one has seen her anywhere."Rex's face darkened as his delicate lips were pursed.A half-hour later, the Hidalgo Corporation apologized for the mistake and deleted the Jenna-related comment. However, they made no mention of the marriage between Rex and Jenna.The impact of this action was still minimal, though. Rex checked Jenna's social media accounts and discovered her posts regarding their relationship. It was s
There were many influential people in the magnificent banquet hall. Every visitor in attendance was an expert in their industry. Jenna was mentally ready to run into Rex once more. She had already let him go, so her heart didn't flutter when she saw him. Even though everyone knew Rex had a former spouse, Rex had never brought her to formal events. Everyone had only heard of her by name, even when the previous statement went viral online. Jenna giggled lightly as she noticed Alice standing beside Rex and wondered, "She took my spot so soon?' Gino lovingly patted her arm after noticing how she was feeling. "Don't be frightened. I am with you."Jenna's grin broadened. "No, I'm not theone who should be afraid." 'I don't worry anymore.' 'What exactly should I fear? I'minvincible!' Gino approached Rex. A pair of menwere both equally popular andsimilar in every way. "I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Hidalgo." "So have I, Mr. Anderson." After shaking hands, the two men instantly
