NovelEnglishChapter 657 Getting shot down by Kenzo really lit a fire under her. Then she heard through the grapevine that John was still scrapping by and couldn’t help but dial his number.
John’s voice was cool, ‘Yes, I've found someone willing to invest in my company.” Amelia let out a scoff, surprised that John now seemed to handle her call without losing his cool. It seemed that the boss of the new company had given him a solid confidence boost.
“Well, I'm all eyes. | mean, you're my ex-husband. Even though your past deeds were quite scandalous, it wouldn't be a total waste of our marriage if you're willing to pick yourself up.” Hearing her hypocritical words made John feel sick to his stomach.
