Married At 9AM, Divorced At 10AM Chapter 19

His mother had cried and thrown a fit back then, and only then did his father agree to send that kid away. Now…

“What do you mean?”

“What it means is,” his father’s voice turned cold, “the company goes to him from now on.”

“You can’t even hold onto your own woman. What else can I expect from you?”

The phone screen slowly dimmed.

Jake looked at his reflection on the screen.

Haggard. Exhausted. Red eyed.

Three years of pretending to be poor, and in the end, he had nothing.

He hadn’t held onto anything.

Later, when people in Portsville talked about Jake Morrison, they would say, “He’s that idiot who caused a scene at the West wedding.”

They would say how Mr. Carson had finally broken his rule of keeping the technique in the family, and yet Jake had divorced his daughter the very next day.

They would say his father had given the entire family business to his illegitimate son.

And after the illegitimate son took power, he crushed Jake like a bug.

And Sophia? After he lost everything, she miraculously ‘recovered.”

One day, Dylan told Jake, “There’s something you don’t know. Nicholas chased Emma for eight whole years to get her craft technique. He’s the one who sent Sophia after you.”

“That car accident was something Sophia staged herself. But you can’t blame anyone else. You’re the one who suddenly turned around and went after Emma.”

“You told yourself you were doing it all so Sophia could be accepted, but the truth is, you liked Emma. You were obsessed with her. You were just lying to yourself.”

“Emma is way more outstanding than you ever imagined. Without you holding her back, her business is thriving.”

“You were never good enough for her. Not even once.”

Jake felt completely hollowed out.

He stood there for a long time, then he decided to go find her.

He needed to tell her that Nicholas was no good.

He had chased her for eight years with ulterior motives.

He had sent Sophia to destroy their relationship.

How could she marry a scumbag like that?
