Wife, Let's Remarry

"Turned off again? Impossible?" Jaylene quickly searched through her bag, and her face changed: "Damn, my mobile phone is gone."

It must have been when she was in a hurry this morning and forgot to pick up the phone she left on the bed!

Oh, no!

It's bad enough that she broke up and lost her virginity yesterday, but now she's even lost her mobile phone that's been with her for three years. How is she supposed to live?

Jaylene Ziel is a small team leader in Clayton Corp's Design Department, and she has a small independent office so she doesn't have to share a large office with other design team members.

Sitting behind her office desk, she was lost in thought, unable to focus because of her heartbreak, loss of virginity, and losing her phone, let alone drawing.

With the drawing pen in her hand, she stared at the white drawing paper in front of her, and the landline phone on her office desk rang at this moment.

As soon as she put the receiver to her ear, Alexander Preston's voice came through: "Jaylene, I want to explain something to you."

"What's there to explain after getting married to another woman?" Jaylene yelled and immediately hung up the phone with a 'snap'.

Betrayal is betrayal, no matter how much noble excuses can't cover up the reality of betrayal!

She had just put the receiver down on her side when the landline rang again. She picked it up and hung up, but the landline rang again after hanging up.

After several times, Jaylene finally got impatient, grabbed the receiver without waiting for the other side to speak, and yelled irritably: "Alexander, are you ever going to stop?"

"Who is Alexander?" A slightly familiar deep voice came through the phone.

Jaylene was stunned for a moment before realizing that it wasn't Alexander who had called.

She forgot that Alexander was not a patient person.

"Who are you?" Jaylene regained her composure and asked the man on the other end of the phone.

"Have you forgotten my voice already?"

The man's voice came through the phone with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Joseph Thompson, do you remember my name?"

Joseph Thompson?

Jaylene remembered, wasn't this the man in the hotel room this morning?

"You- what do you want?" Jaylene immediately became alert.

As the saying goes, those who come are not kind, and those who are kind do not come. This Joseph Thompson probably isn't someone to mess with; he was already calling for her to take responsibility this morning.

As expected, she heard a low chuckle from the phone: "What else could be going on between us? Of course, it's the matter of you taking responsibility for me."

"Snap" Jaylene hung up the phone directly.

Really, what kind of man was he? Between him and her, who exactly took advantage of whom?

The phone had just been hung up, and she hadn't even caught her breath when the ringing started again.

Feeling incredibly irritated, she picked up the receiver and exploded: "Hey, are you ever going to stop? It's bad enough that I haven't asked you to take responsibility, but now you're asking me to take responsibility?"

"Take responsibility for what?" The voice of a middle-aged woman came through the phone, puzzled: "Jaylene, who are you yelling at?"

This time, Jaylene was completely awake, took a deep breath, and spoke faintly: "Mum, what made you think of calling me on my office phone?"

"If I don't call your office phone, which phone am I supposed to call?"

Nancy Scott's voice came through the phone: "Didn't you turn off your mobile phone?"

"."

Jaylene suddenly remembered her mobile phone, which had already disappeared into someone else's hands.

"Come home after work tonight, and don't go anywhere else!"

Nancy Scott's stern voice came through: "What kind of behavior is that for a young lady, not coming home at night?"

.

Because her mother ordered her to return, Jaylene refused Alisha's invitation to dinner and headed straight to the elevator after work, completely ignoring the sympathetic, pitiful, and mocking eyes behind her.

She knew they were laughing at her expense because everyone knew beforehand that she was Director Alexander Preston's girlfriend. And now, once Alexander turned from a carp leaping through a dragon's gate into the successor of Clayton's CEO, she became a scapegoat.

As the saying goes, enemies cross paths. She had just squeezed out of the elevator when the VIP elevator next door opened, and out came Alexander Preston and Raine Thompson.

Raine Thompson is the CEO's Daughter and the Business Expansion Manager, while Alexander Preston is the Design Director. Alexander Preston is a talented North University graduate, and Raine Thompson is a returnee from overseas with a Master's degree, when put together, they made a perfect couple.

"Manager Thompson, Director Preston,"

Employees from other departments greeted Alexander Preston and Raine Thompson enthusiastically, while Jaylene seemed to have not seen the two of them, and walked past them straight towards the doorway.

Raine Thompson had joined the company as the Expansion Manager three months ago after returning from overseas. Before that, Alexander Preston seemed to have been accompanying her at social engagements often, while naive Jaylene never thought of Alexander having an affair.

As she walked out of the company entrance, a stylish Land Rover stopped right at the entrance, and the man leaning against the car door, who was smiling lightly, was none other than Joseph Thompson who appeared in her room this morning!

Jaylene wanted to sneak back into the company entrance but was too late, as he saw her from afar and came over, grabbing her wrist and pulling her towards his car.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Jaylene was furious. What was he trying to do, abduct her in broad daylight?

"Nothing much, just need to settle our accounts!"

Joseph Thompson shoved her into the passenger seat without another word and slammed the door shut with a 'bang'.

"What do we have to settle between us?" Jaylene was so angry that she wanted to push the door open and leave, but unfortunately, Joseph Thompson had already locked the door.

Joseph drove the car onto the road before speaking indifferently: "What do you mean? How could we not have accounts to settle between us? Won't you admit it? You slept with me last night, right?"

"You." Jaylene was so angry she almost spat blood!

"It was my first time last night," Joseph Thompson said, astonishingly calm: "I think you should know that the first time is always very precious and not cheap!"

"It was your first time?" Jaylene stared at him wide-eyed as if he were a monster.

"Mhm," Joseph Thompson replied seriously, looking at her shocked expression and calmly asking, "Is that strange?"

"No, I mean..."

Jaylene said "I mean" but didn't continue, mainly because she didn't know what to say.

"What do you want to say?"

Joseph Thompson nearly laughed out at her nervous and embarrassed expression. He finally controlled himself and asked, "You don't mean — it was your first time too, right?"

Jaylene glared at him angrily and shouted, "No, it wasn't my first time! It was my hundredth time, my thousandth time, my ten thousandth time!"

"Oh," Joseph Thompson feigned sudden realization: "Your ten-thousandth time, huh? How old were you when you started doing this? 365 days a year, ten years only amount to 3650 days. Even if you disregard your menstrual period and fought bloodied battles daily, you would be doing it before you were even born, right?"

...

This time, Jaylene was completely dumbstruck by his words.
