Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Alice had to determine whether or not she was satisfied that she was placed in the right place. However, even if she wasn't, she couldn't change her fate.

If she didn't do that, she would have disappeared from Jacob's life for good. Since Jacob treated her so cruelly, it was only fair that she retaliated.

After all, hell has no fury like a woman scorned. The first step she took had been a mistake, but it would be well worth it if she achieved her goal in the end. Gritting her teeth, Alice glared at Thompson.

"What? Are you angry again? Why is it so easy for you to get angry? Is it because of the pregnancy hormones?" Thompson asked, glancing at Alice's belly. He looked at her with a sly smile on his face.

"Don't you think it's too much? Thompson, we are partners. Do you really have to embarrass me?"

Alice's voice trembled, and tears pooled in the corners of her eyes. She tried her best to hold back the tears, but her emotions had gotten the better of her.

Seeing that Alice was about to cry, Thompson heaved a deep sigh. A woman's tears were the most difficult thing to deal with.

"All right, all right. Don't cry. I was just asking for your opinion. The choice is still up to you. I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do. Besides, if I wanted to force you, I wouldn't even give you the option to choose."

Thompson let go of her chin. Alice stood straight up from the sofa. It seemed that sitting on the sofa for so long had made her a little bit more defiant. She narrowed her eyes at Thompson.

"I have to talk to Jacob first. This is far from over. He thinks his resignation can solve this problem, but no! No way! He won't get off that easily! I want to back him up into a corner and make him beg for mercy!"

Alice glared at Thompson as if she were looking at Jacob. Suddenly, Thompson felt a chill run down his spine. Alice in such a state was truly dreadful. He never wanted to cross her.

'Whoever said that the most terrible force on earth is a woman's cruelty was right, ' Thompson thought. However, it was no time to be making fun of Alice. She was unstable. He had to find a way to calm her down.

"Do you know what I like most about you?" A smile appeared at the corners of Thompson's lips, but it wasn't the pleasant kind. He looked like he was planning something devious.

Some people's smiles had the ability to light up a room. However, some people's smiles made it clear that they were up to no good. Thompson fell into the latter category, so Alice hated it when he smiled.
