Divorce: My Ex-Wife Begs Me Back

Chapter 5

Meanwhile, after driving a considerable distance, Braylen finally came back to his senses. "Hello, may I ask who you are?"

The woman, driving with one hand, pulled out a business card and handed it to Braylen.

After taking it, Braylen glanced down at the card. It read Jasmin Shelton, CEO of the Shelton Group. Braylen was slightly stunned. He felt like he had heard of the Shelton Group somewhere before.

Then Jasmin said calmly, "Let me introduce myself first. I'm Jasmin Shelton, also known as Summer Jasmin online. I'm twenty-four years old, with dual PhDs from Stanford. As for my profession and annual income..."

As Jasmin spoke, she habitually raised her delicate chin slightly. "You probably already know that I'm the CEO of the Shelton Group. In addition to bonuses, my annual income is estimated at one billion dollars. Besides that, I own an apartment and a villa."

Jasmin's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "That's my basic information. Now, it's your turn."

Braylen was a bit puzzled by the woman's sudden self-introduction, but he still responded gently, "My name is Braylen Harper, twenty-six years old. I graduated from high school..."

Jasmin's anticipation vanished in an instant. "Go on. How about your job and income?"

Braylen shook his head, shrugging. "I have no job, and I got only fifty dollars as pocket money from my ex-wife each month. But we’ve divorced, so I don't even have pocket money now."

"Ex-wife?" Jasmin furrowed her brows slightly. "Were you married? I’ve never heard you mention it." Before Braylen could respond, she sighed and bit her sexy lips. "Forget it, please go on. Do you have a house or a car?"

Braylen was dumbfounded. She asked about almost all his background information, and it somewhat felt like he was having a blind date. Thinking about it, Braylen asked, "Ms. Shelton, is there a misunderstanding?"

"What?" Jasmin sensed something was wrong and eased off the gas pedal. "Aren't you 'Mr. Healer' on i********:, the one who was supposed to have a fake marriage with me for a year?"

Jasmin's expression froze gradually. Her family had arranged a marriage for her, but she detested that kind of forced marriage. Then she decided to find a man to establish a fake marriage, just to get through it. So, she bought a fake marriage online and agreed to pay that man five thousand dollars per month. She would also offer a large sum of money after they got divorced after a year.

Unexpectedly, she seemed to have mistaken the person!

Braylen shook his head and said, "It's not me. I just got divorced today, so how could I have been in an online relationship before?"

Then he saw the proud and beautiful woman blush quickly. She sneaked a glance at Braylen, immediately picked up her phone, and called the person known as Mr. Healer online. After a moment, she hung up the phone with a grim expression.

Obviously, she got the wrong person! Jasmin felt so embarrassed! It looked as if she was thirsting for men!

Braylen almost couldn't hold back his laughter, rubbing his chin and saying, "Ms. Shelton, your online date doesn't seem reliable."

As expected, Jasmin knew she would be mocked! Jasmin's face turned cold, and she quickly stepped on the brake.

"Bang!"

Braylen almost bumped into the window on the passenger side.

"Get out!" Jasmin said sternly, her face red with anger.

"Hey, seriously?" Braylen looked at Jasmin, feeling amused by her embarrassment and anger, and at the same time, she was still pretending to be aloof. He smiled, placed his hands behind his head, and leaned back in the seat, with no intention of getting out of the car.

Jasmin stopped the car by the roadside. "Get out!"

Braylen put away his smile, saying, "Ms. Shelton, you pulled me into the car just now, and now you're rushing me out. I’m not the one you can fool at will!"

Jasmin's face stiffened slightly at his words, and she realized she was indeed at fault.

She was a straightforward woman, so she immediately apologized to Braylen. "I'm sorry, Mr. Harper. I'm just in a hurry and can't give you a ride. How about this? I'll give you some money as compensation for my misunderstanding today. You can take a taxi with it."

After these words, Jasmin took her bag from the back seat and took out some cash, probably around one hundred dollars.

‘What an interesting woman!’ thought Braylen. He smiled and accepted the money. Then, he took out a few from the stack and handed them back to Jasmin. "Ms. Shelton, I can't take so much money from you. Just take the extra money for your medical expenses."

"Medical expenses?" Jasmin asked.

"Yes, you're sick." Braylen stared into Jasmin's eyes.

Jasmin looked at the stranger in disbelief. "You're the one who's sick!"

Being called sick by a stranger, Jasmin felt she was being insulted.

Immediately, Jasmin snapped, "Get out of the car!"

However, Braylen pointed to her lower abdomen, saying seriously, "I can tell you're really sick. Your face is pale, and your eyes are bloodshot. They all indicate poor blood circulation in your lower abdomen. Soon, you'll experience severe pain in your lower abdomen."

Indeed, just as Braylen said, there was a sickly pallor on her pretty face, and her eyes were seriously bloodshot. But how could these explain a problem in her lower abdomen? Jasmin thought the paleness and bloodshot eyes were probably due to a lack of sleep in recent days. Braylen must be talking nonsense.

"Okay, stop playing games." Jasmin urged, "Get out of the car. I'm in a hurry."

With that, Jasmin started the car, ready to leave as soon as Braylen got out.

But Braylen leaned over and turned off the engine. Jasmin sensed the strong sense of masculinity surrounding her, and she tried to avoid him uneasily.

“Ms. Shelton, you should really listen to me," Braylen said seriously. "Your stomach will be in extreme pain in ten minutes. It’s dangerous for you to drive now."

"Get out of the car!" Jasmin didn't even listen to what Braylen was saying. She just wanted him to stay away from her.

Finally, Braylen took out some medicine from his pocket and said seriously, "Ms. Shelton, this painkiller is a hundred times more effective than all the common painkillers on the market. After taking it, the pain will disappear in a second. If you have an attack, please take it immediately. It can save your life."

Braylen seemed like he would pester her if she didn't accept, so Jasmin could only nod and reply, "Okay, I'll take it. But Mr. Harper, could you please get out of the car?"

Braylen handed the medicine to her and then stepped out of the car.

"Hmm—"

After getting rid of Braylen, Jasmin drove away.

‘As long as she can take it in time, there won't be any problems.’ Braylen watched the car far away, playing with Jasmin's business card in his hand.

‘The Shelton family? The CEO of the Shelton Group? What a coincidence! Then what’s the relationship between her and Mr. Shelton?’

At the same time, Jasmin's luxury car was already speeding on the elevated highway. She was driving while throwing the medicine Braylen gave her onto the passenger seat.

"Tricky man," Jasmin sneered. It was at that moment that a severe pain came from her lower abdomen.

"What's going on?" Jasmin instantly turned pale and breathed heavily. It felt like thousands of electric drills were polishing the inside of her abdomen, tearing her apart.

Jasmin saw another bend ahead. If she didn't slow down, she would definitely crash out of the elevated highway, and that would result in a fatal accident. However, she was extremely weak and didn't even have the strength to step on the brake.

"No..." Jasmin moaned.

‘Ms. Shelton, this painkiller is a hundred times more effective than all the common painkillers on the market. After taking it, the pain will disappear in a second.’ Just then, Jasmin thought of Braylen's words.

"I’ll trust you this time." Jasmin gritted her teeth and used up the last bit of her strength to take the capsule.

To her surprise, in just the blink of an eye, the sharp pain disappeared. At that moment, Jasmin abruptly turned the steering wheel. Her car returned promptly to the main road from the edge of the elevated highway.

What a lucky escape! Jasmin looked at the scepter logo on the medicine box and suddenly paused. It was the logo of Scepter Organization!

"How could this be?" Jasmin couldn't believe it. Then she recalled Braylen's self-introduction. ‘He’s just a man who graduated from junior high school and was dumped by his ex-wife. Why does he have this kind of medicine? What is his real identity?’
