Chapter 2 Firework
Less than five minutes later, Bryce's assistant called back with the news. "We found it. It's the car belonging to the president of the Nexus group."
"Are you sure?" Bryce asked in a raised voice.
"I've checked it repeatedly, even in the Global 8 app. Sorry, maybe you didn't see the license plate clearly," Seteven said again.
"Huh! How dare you!" Bryce raged.
'The owner of the Nexus group? How could someone like Rose go with him? She's just a girl from a village who was raised by a farmer. During our marriage, she never left the house except to shop for household necessities or go out with me and my family. She was like a servant to the Johansen family," thought Bryce.
Everyone gathered for dinner and welcomed Lily's arrival. Of course, Lily meant a lot to the Johansen family; she was the daughter of the Jones family, who were wealthier than the Johansens.
But Bryce's mind was filled with thoughts of Rose's sudden departure and her refusal to take the money he had given her. Moreover, he was still wondering who had left with Rose that night.
"Where's your wife? Why isn't she having dinner with us? Is she still busy cooking?" asked Miranda, Bryce's mother.
"She left after signing the divorce papers!"
Kelly, Bryce's sister, smiled, "Hmm, it's good that you two are getting divorced. I don't like that woman. She's not right for you at all!"
"Then, what did she ask for as compensation for the divorce? She didn't ask for a share of the house and car here, did she?" asked Miranda worriedly.
"Huh! I gave her a million dollars as compensation, but she refused it. She didn't even take the clothes, jewelry, and skin care products I bought for her," Bryce replied flatly.
Miranda and Kelly looked at each other and smiled.
"It turns out that woman knows her place. She didn't earn anything while she was your wife, so she shouldn't take anything from here!" replied Miranda.
Lily smiled quietly upon hearing this. She began to seek sympathy and gently held Bryce's arm, "Bryce, did you two divorce because of me? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come here. Oh, I'm such a terrible woman who ruined someone's marriage."
"Lily, what are you talking about? Bryce has suffered enough having to live for three years with a woman he didn't love," Miranda said suddenly.
Bryce turned to Lily and said, "Lily, this has nothing to do with you at all. I never loved her. This divorce is not only good for me but also for her."
"Lily, my brother only loves you!" Kelly exclaimed with a smile.
Lily lowered her head and smiled slightly.
Meanwhile, in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce, Rose rested her head on Dominic Cavendish, the eldest son of the Cavendish family, the wealthiest man in the country, and Rose's eldest brother.
"You can cry here now. The people who looked down on you are no longer visible, right?" asked Dominic as he gently patted Rose's cheek.
Immediately, a notification appeared on Rose's cell phone, and she found a message from Lily. Lily sent a photo of herself in a room with Bryce, both of them wearing only blankets covering their bodies. There was no need to explain what happened to them; Rose understood very well.
Her eyes were teary.
"Ha ha, that photo is a warning for you to stop dreaming of becoming Mrs. Johansen! You already know who Bryce loves the most, right?"
Dominic turned to her for a moment, and Rose's tears flowed even more.
"Today is the third anniversary of my marriage. Why did he bring another woman?" Rose said while crying.
Dominic hugged her.
"I know. That bastard should die for doing this to you."
Rose wiped her tears and exhaled deeply. "People who have hurt me don't deserve my kindness, like Bryce."
"Finally, you realize it," Dominic replied coldly.
Rose turned to Dominic and said again, "Hmm, tonight I want to watch the opening of the flower festival. I want to go there to enjoy the fireworks and buy cotton candy!"
Dominic didn't respond, but he immediately asked the driver to turn around and head to the city park to watch the festival.
In less than thirty minutes, Rose arrived there. At that time, the atmosphere was very crowded and dominated by couples.
"Five, four, three, two, one." A large purple firework lit up the sky.
"Are you feeling better now?" Dominic asked, rubbing Rose's head.
Rose nodded and twirled her cotton candy. "Not bad."
"If you're feeling better, let's go home. We've prepared lots of gifts in your room."
"Gifts?" asked Rose.
Rose furrowed her eyebrows. It had been three years since she had received a gift, and even on her wedding anniversary, she had received divorce papers.
"We were all happy to hear you were coming home, so we decided to give you a welcome gift. Besides, you disappeared for three years, so we kept all your birthday presents in your bedroom!" Dominic continued.
"Even though Dad, Mom, and the three of us were upset with your decision to marry that idiot, we always loved you. You will always be our little girl! "
Rose was touched by Dominic's words. Even though he was cold and often sarcastic, Rose could feel her brother's affection. She almost cried and hugged her brother tightly.
" Dominic, I was so stupid!" Rose cried.
Dominic rubbed Rose's head again, "Don't be a crybaby, your tears are not worthy of a loser like him!"
At that moment, a black Porsche stopped in front of them. Bryce got out of the car, holding Lily's hand. The air was a little cold, so Lily pressed herself against Bryce and accidentally saw Rose hugging Dominic.
Lily smiled slightly and pointed to the fireworks in the direction where Rose was standing.
"Bryce! Look at the fireworks over there, they're so beautiful, you have to see them!" Lily whined a little and seemed childish, but that was precisely what Bryce liked. It looked so adorable in his eyes.
However, when Rose did the same thing, Bryce looked disgusted. He even pushed Rose away and yelled at her. But silly Rose still understood Bryce's attitude.
"Oops!" Lily suddenly covered her mouth and asked Bryce to turn his face away.
Bryce was immediately curious about what was happening. "What's wrong? Why did you pull me away? Didn't you just show me a beautiful view of the fireworks over there?"
“Oh no... no... You'd better not go there!" Lily exclaimed.
But Bryce didn't care; he still turned his head in the direction Lily had pointed. That's when he saw Rose hugging a man. Bryce's blood boiled instantly when he saw this.
He bit his lower lip and clenched his fists tightly, "Damn it! We're not officially divorced yet, and you're already having fun with another man!"
