Hunting for His EX-Wife

“Let me handle this.” Rhys’ cold gaze quickly fell on Titus. Regardless, Titus was Jenna’s father and if Jenna were to handle this matter, she might get hurt.

At this point, Jenna had calmed down a bit and gave Rhys a nod.

She didn’t have any other choice at this point. After all, Rhys already knew about the situation and there was no way to hide it anymore.

“Mr. Stout, why don’t we talk things out?”

Rhys gave a signal to his bodyguard standing nearby who quickly dragged Titus into an empty room next door.

“You stay here.”

After saying that, Rhys followed the bodyguard into the room.

“What do you want?”

Titus finally realized the danger he was in as he looked at the bodyguards behind Rhys and then back at his cold face. He immediately reacted.

Being tempted by the Williams family’s wealth had made him forget that they could never be threatened by someone like him!

“I don’t want anything; I just want to chat with you,” said Rhys calmly as his gaze fixed on Titus’ face.

But the more calm Rhys appeared, the more nervous Titus became. He had no idea what Rhys wanted from him.

“If Mr. Williams isn’t going to give me money, then there’s no need for us to talk!” said Titus warily as he followed along with what Rhys wanted but didn’t know what else he could say or do in such a situation.

He felt an indescribable sense of crisis rising within him; if he could leave now, then he would have left earlier!

Upon hearing these words from Titus, Rhys snorted before fixing his gaze back onto him again,

“You recently lost one hundred thousand dollars and owe eight thousand dollars in debt outside.”

Rhys suddenly spoke up, revealing everything about how much money Tiutis owed.

“You borrowed eighty thousand from loan sharks. If you don’t pay it back soon, it will double after several days.”

At first, Titus still didn’t believe it but with each word spoken by Rhy, his complexion gradually turned pale until finally…

“How do you know?” Titus looked at Rhys in horror. How did Rhys know all of this? He had been careful when borrowing from loan sharks, and the amount he borrowed wasn’t even that large. He was afraid of being caught, but Rhys had managed to see right through him.

“As the saying goes, if you don’t want anyone to know, don’t do it.” Rhys said calmly, though his words sent Titus’ mind into turmoil.

“What do you want?” Titus couldn’t figure out what Rhys wanted from him. Did he want to use the loan sharks to threaten him?

“I don’t want anything. I’m just curious,” replied Rhys coolly. “If the loan sharks found out that you couldn’t pay them back, what would they do? If I remember correctly, they almost chopped off your hand last time – was it your right or left?”

Rhys’ expressionless face made Titus feel even more scared than before. The loan sharks were capable of doing anything!

Did Rhys plan on handing him over to them?

That couldn’t be possible!

“What you’re doing is illegal!” exclaimed Titus in fear.

“You know what’s illegal and yet still gamble?” sneered Rhys.

Titus didn’t know how to respond as he stared at his feet.

“The Williams family is rich,” continued Rhys coldly. “We can’t tolerate such behavior like yours.”

“I’ve taken care of your gambling debt this time around,” said Rhy reassuringly.”But if there’s a second time… the Williams family will take action.”

Titus felt relieved for a moment but then quickly realized that this relief wouldn’t last long under Rhys’ icy stare.

“You have no idea what we’re capable of when dealing with people like you,” warned Rhy ominously as he stared down at Titus who nodded frantically in agreement while feeling terrified inside.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll have someone escort Mr. Stout out first. Hopefully the next time we see him, you won’t be asking my wife for money again,” Rhys said politely but firmly.

Titus didn’t dare to argue and obediently left with his bodyguards.

Rhys returned to Jenna’s side and she couldn’t help but ask about the outcome of their encounter with Titus.

“I convinced him to leave you alone. He shouldn’t bother you anymore,” Rhys reassured her.

Jenna breathed a sigh of relief and then brought up the topic they needed to discuss: her pregnancy.

“Now that this matter is resolved, let’s talk about our baby,” Rhys suggested, surprised at how things had turned out. If he hadn’t sent people to protect Jenna today, who knows what might have happened?

“Let’s talk about it at home,” Rhys said as he noticed Jenna’s nervousness before taking her back home with him.

Jenna was clutching onto a glass of water tightly as they sat down together in their living room while avoiding eye contact with Rhys who spoke up first. “Since you’re pregnant, I think we should keep this baby together.”

Rhys was serious.

“But…” Jenna wanted to take Rhys’ proposal, but she had promised Mrs. Williams she would leave Rhys within three months. If she didn’t leave, Mrs. Williams would stop covering her mother’s medical fees and her brother’s tuition fees.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
