Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1073

Angeline's furious face was gradually enveloped in sadness. "Do you know who I am, Marilyn?"

Marilyn stared at her in surprise. "You're Grand Asia's president, aren't you?"

Angeline replied, "No, I'm Ben's wife!"

Marilyn was struck dumb. All the defenses in her heart crumbled instantly. She shook her head vigorously, refusing to believe the truth. "That's not true. That's not true."

She then glared at Angeline. "I know you like Ben and that's why you're lying to get him!"

Angeline sneered, "Do you think I'm like you? Marilyn Auberge, I'll give you two options. Number one, surrender yourself for tricking Ben into marrying you and illegally imprisoning Ben for three years. That's n o minor crime at all."

Marilyn paled with fright. "No, no, I didn't deceive him into marrying me. I saved him out of kindness. It was done purely out of kindness."

Angeline played a phone recording and Marilyn's voice rang out.

"I didn't trick him into marriage. He willingly stayed by my side to be my husband and have children with m

e!"

Angeline said, "I've recorded everything you said just now. If you want to give excuses, then do it in front of the judge. I have no time for this."

Marilyn gulped as she sat limply on the ground.

Angeline continued, "You have another choice-"

A warm smile appeared on Angeline's face before she said, "According to the law, your crimes are no doubt unforgivable, but there's also no denying that you saved him and brought him back to me. For this, I am grateful to you. I'm willing to give you a substantial amount of money so that you and Tiger can lead a life without worrying about food and clothing. But, you must leave immediately after you get the money."

A hint of reluctance flashed across Marilyn's face. Ben was Grand Asia's founder. When he returned to his position, she would get more benefits than what this woman was offering. Seemingly able to read her thoughts, Angeline said coldly, "Marilyn, if you think you still have a chance with him, then I advise you to give up because that's just plain wishful thinking."

"Ben has mysophobia. If my guess is right, he feels nauseous and sick when he sees you. Now that he knows that you've tricked him into marrying you, I'm sure he will only have a greater aversion to seeing you. If you're still hoping to get something out of him, then you'll only be dreaming."

In an instant, her and Ben's interaction started flashing in Marilyn's mind-

Back then, Ben disliked it whenever she touched him. If she did, he would feel nauseated and sick. She thought that it was only a quirk of his, but turned out it was mysophobia.

To him, she was always dirty.

As soon as she came to this conclusion, Marilyn felt inexplicably humiliated.

Today, Ben no longer looked at her with the same gentle eyes. It was now replaced with indifference and detachment as well as immense disgust and contempt.

Ben rejected both her body and personality.

Marilyn slowly got to her feet and relented. "Okay, I agree to your conditions."

The office door opened and Mimi carried Tiger in with Zayne following behind.

Not only was Tiger not crying, but he was also holding a lot of snacks and toys in his arms, giggling with delight.

"Mimi, write a check for 20 million dollars and give it to Marilyn."

Mimi rolled her eyes at Marilyn and murmured, "Does she even deserve it? You're nice enough to not send a person like that to prison. Why are you still giving her so much money? You're too kind, Ms. Severe."

After sending Marilyn away, Angelina let out a long sigh of relief.

As she looked at the bright and dazzling sun outside the window, Angelina muttered, "It's time for you to come home now, Jaybie."

She then quickly ordered Zayne, "Pick out a date for me. I want to welcome him home."

Taken aback, Zayne asked, "Don't you think that's a bit too hasty?

"He doesn't even like you right now. He may not go home with you willingly."

Angelina started weighing her gains and losses.

She knew all too well how suffocating it would feel to stay with someone she did not like. She did not want Jay to fall into a situation that would make him uncomfortable again after what he experienced with Marilyn.

"If that's the case... Let's wait a bit longer then."

A trace of worry emerged in Angelina's eyes. "But what if he just doesn't like me anymore?"
