Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 382 Not Me

The scenery here was beautiful. The entire villa area was surrounded by lush greenery, but it did not seem gloomy. The designer’s bold idea surprised everyone.

The driver stopped the car and said faithfully through the rearview mirror, “Miss, there we are. Do you want to get off?”

Irene looked at the villa that could not be bought at a high price and nodded.

The driver got out of the car and opened the door for her.

Irene stood on the ground in her high heels. When she saw that the entrance of the villa was covered with uneven pebbles, she immediately felt that the designer was out of his mind.

She tried to take two steps, but she almost sprained her ankle.

There was no other way. Irene could only take off her shoes and carry them in her hands, carefully walking forward.

She couldn’t help but wonder if she had made a mistake. How could Manuel live in such a place? It was so strange.

However, halfway through, she saw a black Land Rover slowly drive out from the side door that had just been opened.

Irene was familiar with the license plate number. After all, Manuel had already bought them.

Irene’s eyes lit up. She ran over without thinking and stood in the way.

Manuel stopped in his tracks. He looked at Irene, who was stretching out her arms, and rubbed his eyebrows. Then he calmly opened the door to get out of the car.

“How did you know that I lived here recently?” Manuel could always grasp the key points at the first moment.

Irene rushed forward, wanting to grab his arm but was flung away. She asked him in a somewhat disappointed voice, “Manuel, why did you do this to me?”

“What did I do to you?” Manuel asked doubtfully.

“You detained the goods of the Wade family and have the red wine supplier terminate their cooperation

with us. There is no one else who can do this except you.”

The Wade family was famous in Seattle. Even the Baldry family or the Easton Group couldn’t do

these things so quickly. The only one who could do this was the Gage Group.

After all, between the Gage Group and the Wade Group, anyone would choose the Gage Group.

Manuel smiled faintly. He said coldly, “It was not me this time.”

Irene thought, not him?

Who else could it be?

She thought about all the people in Seattle, but she still could not figure out who wanted to harm the

Wade Group.

There were very few people who could change the red wine supplier’s mind. After all, that was the

Glover family, the biggest red wine supplier, and no one could threaten them.

A handful of foreign wine estates would only work with the Glover family. Irene had attended a wine party

held by the Glover family. Hudson did not even respect Manuel.

She always felt that this matter had something to do with Manuel, but she didn’t have evidence.

Moreover, Manuel was a person who dared to take responsibility for what he did. Since he said it wasn’t

him, then she might make a mistake.

Irene did not press Manuel. She had not seen Manuel for a long time, and she missed him too much.

She reached out to touch Manuel, but the latter avoided her, which hurt Irene.

“Manuel, can you not treat me like this? You know that I like you. Every time you look at me with this cold

expression, my heart hurts. I am your fiancée. Why can’t you look at me and be closer to me?” Irene said

with tears in her eyes.

Ordinary men would only feel pitiful and wouldn’t bear to say ********remarks when facing such a delicate

face. However, Manuel only glanced at her indifferently and moved away. He sneered,

“Irene, I think you have long forgotten what happened last time. You just drugged me last time. Did you

forget about that?”

Irene’s face was pale. She did not want Manuel to mention that matter at this time. It was indeed.

her fault. She was impulsive and was prodded by her grandfather, so she was impulsive.

In the few hours after Manuel left, Irene had a tough time. She was guilty, but she didn’t think she was

wrong.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that. It was my fault. But I am your fiancée. Shouldn’t you be more

lenient with me? Even if you can’t treat me like how you treat Ainsley, can’t you just take that nothing has

happened before? Manuel, I am your fiancée, not your subordinate.” Irene lowered her eyes, and her

shoulders trembled lightly.

“When you were doing those things, you didn’t care about me, right?” Manuel said coldly.

Irene wiped away her tears, walked to Manuel pitifully, and asked carefully, “Manuel, will the engagement

banquet be held as scheduled?”

Her eyes were full of expectation. This was the only thing that could prove that Manuel hadn’t left. her.

To her surprise, Manuel just turned around and left without any expression.

Two days later.

Irene listened to the beeping sound on her phone and panicked. This was already the fifth time she had

called Manuel, but no one answered.

He seemed to intend to exclude her from his life and even slowly cut off cooperation with the Wade Group.

Irene understood that she could not sit and wait.

The moonlight was bright at night. Serina was sleeping soundly and was having a dream.

Serina walked on the noisy road and then turned into an alley.

Many men walked out of the alley and stared at her. Serina’s senses seemed to become sensitive.

She felt hundreds and thousands of eyes looking at her.

That was a tormented feeling. Suddenly, Serina was in an empty room without clothes on.

Countless lustful and bloodshot eyes appeared on the ****wall and looked at her ***body.

Serina covered her eyes and suddenly woke up.

This nightmare was very real. She gasped for breath and only calmed down after a long time.

In the afternoon of Seattle, the light was still so dazzling, but the wind was cold. Even in such a pleasant place like Seattle, people still felt very uncomfortable.

Serina had just finished lunch and slowly walked back to the classroom with Gary. In the quiet long. corridor, many people stayed by the windows of the classroom. Most of the girls were staring at Gary’s back, and they looked at Serina angrily and jealously.

Although everyone knew Serina’s identity, they could not help but look at Gary.

Serina could feel their gazes. Gary was her friend, and she did not like him.

The corridor was very long and connected two teaching buildings.

They walked to a place that was covered by tall teaching buildings. Countless boys and girls were playing and chatting.

The laughter became louder and louder. Serina walked to Gary, who was a head taller than her. Suddenly, they looked into a director together.

In a corner not far away, a few girls cornered a person. The leading girl grabbed the braid of the girl who was blocked, and the latter’s hair was pulled up high. Serina felt a headache when she saw this.
