But the past should be left in the past. She had loved the wrong person and would never shed another tear for him again.
Suddenly, Sean knocked and quickly entered the office. “Ms. Alyssa, I have found our hotel’s bedding and furniture supplier. It’s mostly from Elysian Home. Mr. Grant is responsible for contacting them.”
“Elysian again.” Alyssa crossed her slender legs and narrowed her eyes dangerously.
“Tell the finance department to prepare the accounts for these past two years. Also, contact a new bedding supplier and change out everything that belongs to Elysian.”
“Are you really going to cause such a huge commotion?” Jonah raised his brow.
“Elysian Home is Jeremy’s first love’s brother’s company.”
“Oh. This is revenge,” Jonah and Sean said at the same time.
“It’s not! They’ve been selling inferior bedding products to the KS World Hotel. I have to punish them.”
Alyssa sneered.
She was furious at the thought of the hard mattress she sat on. The feeling of discomfort while staying at the hotel would affect the customer’s impression. It was no wonder there were so many bad reviews!
“Right! There’s another thing,” Sean added. “You asked me to keep an eye on the Walshs. I’ve received news that Newton Walsh had another stroke, and he’s hospitalized. He’s staying in the hospital under our group.”
“He’s hospitalized?” Alyssa instantly stood up with worry.
At this time, Jonah’s phone rang. He looked down and smiled.
“Lyse, it’s your ex-husband.”
Alyssa was shocked to see the name on Jonah’s phone.
“Should I answer it?” Jonah asked.
“Yes!”
He slowly answered the call and put it on speaker, but he was in no hurry to speak.
“Mr. Jonah, are you with my wife?” Jeremy asked in a hoarse voice.
Alyssa found his words incendiary and became furious in an instant. “Mr. Jeremy, please mind your words. I’m your ex-wife.”
“Allison Burton, I knew you’d be with him.” Jeremy’s tone was deep.
“Should I be waiting at your house to be kicked out, then?”
On the other end of the call, Jeremy’s expression turned dark. “I advise you not to be in such a hurry.
We haven’t completed the procedures, and the divorce certificate hasn’t been issued. You’re still legally my wife. Please be mindful of the Walshs’ reputation as if it’s your own.”
“You took Liana Gardner to Seaview Manor and forced me to sign the papers. Jeremy Walsh, did you care for my reputation when you did that?” Alyssa sneered, then continued, “One-sided courtesy doesn’t mean anything. Since you don’t care about my reputation, why should I care for the Walshs’?
After all, I respectfully gave up my position as the president’s wife to Liana. You should ask her about that.”
Jonah raised his brow and took a sip of tea. This was the real Alyssa. The obedient and gentle wife who was always wronged by the Walshs was just a persona she had made up for Jeremy.
Although he felt that his sister was perfect, he liked the feisty woman that was not scared of the world and had no restraints more. Thankfully, she had returned.
Jeremy sounded tired when he spoke again, “I don’t have time to argue with you. Grandpa is sick. He’s in the hospital, and he’s been asking to see you. He won’t take his meds if you’re not here.”
Alyssa became distressed when she heard that. Although she was already divorced, old Mr. Walsh was good to her. She could give up all the assets and not want a single penny, but she couldn’t let go of that adorable old man.
“He’s at the hospital under Taylor Group, right? I’ll go over in a moment.”
After she ended the call, she sighed.
“Lyse, I’ll send you over,” Jonah said gently.
“It’s okay. I’m going there to visit Grandpa. I don’t want to cause another unnecessary fight. It’ll only worsen the situation if you send me over.” She waved her hand and added, “I’ll drive.”
At the hospital, Jeremy and Xavier were standing outside Newton’s ward.
Alyssa walked over and noticed that Jeremy was skinnier.
“Dang it! Why should I care about him? Whether he’s gotten skinnier or fatter, it’d never be because of me. He can do whatever he likes!” Alyssa cursed in her heart.
When she stopped before them in her heels, the two men looked up at her. They were both taken aback, especially Jeremy. He could not recognize the woman who had been his wife for three years.
“Xavier, how is Grandpa doing?” Alyssa didn’t even look at Jeremy.
“M-Madam Allison, i-is it really you?” Xavier was dumbfounded and asked a st* pid question.
The woman before him had delicate makeup and S**y red lips. She was in a professional, black suit that showed her curves, and the ruby butterfly brooch on her chest was dazzling.
Alyssa was also taken aback. As she had rushed over, she forgot to change into sneakers and turn herself into the obedient Allison Burton.
“It’s me alright. Don’t you like my new style?”
“No, that’s not it! You’re so much prettier! Also, you look much more confident and spirited than before.”
Xavier was honest and said exactly what was on his mind.
“Is that so? Maybe it’s because of the divorce.” She smiled. “I finally got to see the light again, so I look much happier.”
Jeremy’s expression darkened, and he felt irritated. “Since you were so unhappy, why did you stay for three years? Didn’t I repeatedly tell you that you can cancel the marriage anytime? We didn’t need to wait for three years like prisoners. I could’ve brought you to Grandpa and ended it.”
Hearing that, Alyssa felt distressed. This was Jeremy Walsh. No one could affect him if he had no feelings for them. Even if she put in her heart and soul for him, he wouldn’t care.
Back then, she loved this cold and prideful man so much that she had thrown herself into the relationship without inhibition, and the consequences were devastating.
“I made a promise to Grandpa, so I had to adhere to it. Since I promised to stay in this marriage for three years, I had to stick by it. But now you’re free. You can bring any woman you want back home.
You don’t need to sneak out and meet your lover like before.” Alyssa sneered.
Jeremy was speechless. Did she have such different personalities? Did she think that since they were divorced now, she might as well go all out? However, he felt she was much more attention-grabbing than how she was previously. There was a flash of emotion in his indifferent eyes.
“Jeremy!”
Alyssa turned and saw Liana walking over with Sophia. When she saw that Alyssa was here, there was hostility in her gaze. However, it lasted only for a moment and was quickly replaced by an innocent gaze.
“Why are you guys here?” Jeremy asked in surprise.
Just as he was done asking this, Liana pounced into his embrace and wrapped her arms around his waist. “Jeremy, why didn’t you tell me about such a serious matter? Do you consider me your girlfriend or not?”
“Yes, Jeremy. Do you know how worried Liana was when she heard that Grandpa was hospitalized?
She vomited her lunch.” Sophia felt distressed for her niece.
