Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

The woman sounded depressed but Jonas was unmoved by her words. If he was the same guy that he was a couple of years ago, who knew nothing about love, he would have fallen for her tricks. But he was different now.

If Jonas was truly in love with Emily, he wouldn't have remained calm.

"I won't be attending the promotion meeting. I've already arranged everything and I've asked the casting group to prioritize you over others. I'm going to promote you and I've repaid my debt to you as well."

Jonas heaved a sigh of relief and disconnected the call before Emily could say another word. He had been confused about his feelings but he was clear now. A smile tugged at the corners of his lips when he thought of Melinda.

He couldn't wait to see her beautiful face and her magnetic smile that had the power to heal everything.

Melinda was sitting on the small yard of the villa with paintings of Japanese cherry blossoms scattered everywhere.

The faint sunlight bounced off her body, emitting a subtle glow. She looked peaceful as the wind ruffled her hair.

Jonas walked into the yard and looked at Melinda intently, trying to study her expression.

"What made you paint today?"

Melinda jerked when she heard Jonas's voice. The little flaws in the paintings irked Melinda. She glanced at Jonas, crumpled the painting into a ball, and threw it away.

Jonas understood that Melinda was still angry. He knew that it would take some time before she became normal.

Emily's face turned red with anger when Jonas disconnected the call. She gritted her teeth and threw the phone that collided with the floor and shattered into pieces. The assistant flinched and patiently waited for Emily's anger to subside. She quietly picked the pieces and cleaned the floor.

"Miss Bai, we are going for the promotion meeting tonight. Should I call the stylist?" the assistant asked, swallowing her fear.

"Yeah."

Emily was a sensible woman. She decided to make use of the TV show to gain popularity.

After perfecting the makeup and clicking a few pictures of herself, Emily went for the promotion meeting with the crew. Once the meeting was over, Emily attended the party. She found that almost all the investors were present, except for Jonas.

Emily's boss also attended the party to greet the director.

"Oh, I need to thank Emily for making a huge investment for my play. This play would not have possible without the investment of, 30 million dollars, by Soaring Group. I would like to propose a toast to Emily."

The director grinned, raised the glass of wine, and downed the contents in one big gulp. Emily took a sip of the drink as her boss eyed her with confusion.

The director inched forward. "What's the relationship between Emily and Jonas? He's always there to support her," he asked, whispering in the boss's ear.

The boss didn't have an answer to his question, so he smiled awkwardly.
