Forgive My Ex-husband

Chapter 56 The Man's Tricks

Yulia had always lived an extravagant life, but of late she had lost many luxury goods all of a sudden,

which made her very uncomfortable. At last she decided to return to the Gu family and secretly take an

additional credit card from Jonas.

Alan had been busy for the last few days because the company was in grave danger. Yulia could not

help him in any other way except to raise funds. She hated feeling so useless.

Alan's apartment was small, and Yulia had nearly never worked a day in her life let alone do any kind of

housework, so Alan's home had not been cleaned in several days. The moment she pushed the door

open, a pungent smell hit her nostrils.

"What's this? Why does this place stink so much?"

Yulia cast a glance around the small apartment and wondered if she should hire a part-time cleaner to

make the house more presentable. She turned around surveying the whole place with her nose raised

and wrinkled, a look of disgust on her face when she noticed an envelope on the ground addressed to

her.

Who would send her mail at this place? Who even knew that she was living here? Though Yulia was

confused, she squatted down and opened the mail. It was encased in a small courier bag with a

waterproof cover. Inside, there were pictures of Alan and another woman in a very compromising

situation.

Yulia's mind went blank for a moment, before she regained her senses, this time with a new energy

fueled by rage. She rushed out of the door, with her chest puffing and heaving the anger slowly boiling

in her belly like a volcano about to erupt any time.

Alan and recently found a new target who he could easily swindle a lot of money. He was very pleased

and proud of his good looks and boyish grin that seemed to have been working to his favor of late.

Moreover, the person he was happily conversing with on the phone was another woman and not the

one he was supposedly living with. He talked to her in a tone dripping with honey as he called her all

sorts of sweet names, promising a day full of unadulterated love and intimacy.

All of a sudden, the door of the office was banged open almost breaking at the hinges from the force

that was used. With a hard controlled face, Yulia walked up to him and smacked a pile of photos on the

desk. She looked as if she was bursting at the seams with repressed anger, prowling like a tiger, just

waiting for the right time to roar and spit fire like a dragon.

"Yulia, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you?" Alan asked as he carefully approached her.

Without taking a look at the obviously offending item that Yulia had thrown on his desk, Alan tried to

hold Yulia in his arms and comfort her. But she was in no mood for games. She wanted answers and

sidestepped his outstretched arms. She pointed at the photos on the desk and shouted, "Alan, who is

this woman?

Alan, you are a two timing bastard! How could you do this to me? I had a fight with my brother for you.

When your company went through a crisis, I sold all my jewelry to help you back on your feet, if that

was even true. Did you give all my money to this woman? Is that the person you have been holding all

those late night meetings with?"

Yulia vented all her anger with a ferocity that was scary. Anytime she thought of how she had been

taken for granted, Yulia trembled with anger.

"Yulia, I'm hurt. You actually sent someone to follow me and take pictures, but you never gave me the

benefit of the doubt or try to listen to my side of the story, and now you are interrogating me like a

common criminal. Do you really think that I am that kind of a person? Is that what you take me for?"

Alan was a little flustered and his heart was beating at a 100 beats per minute, but his face was full of

disappointment and anger. Yulia was confused by his reaction.

"Yulia, this woman is just one of our company's clients. She has been reluctant to sign a contract that is

worth a lot of money and keeps coming up with all kinds of requirements. I have no other choice but to

meet her on demand so that we can get her business. The company is short of money, but I don't want

you to be upset because of me. I didn't expect that you would misunderstand my actions. Please forget

this issue, it was all my fault. Yulia, I don't care if you believe me or not, but I didn't betray you, I would

never."

His voice kept rising with every word he uttered giving Yulia mixed feelings. Alan's acting skills were

fantastic, and Yulia began to have second thoughts. After a moment of calm, she started feeling guilty.

"Really? Is everything you are saying true?"

"Yulia, no matter how genuine my actions are, if they make you sad it is my fault. I apologize. Please

forgive me. I promise, I will tell you everything in the future," Alan said.

He was looking right into her eyes as if he could see right through Yulia's mind. He was so serious as if

he wanted to take out his heart for Yulia to see how sorry he really was in his heart.

"Honey, do you really want to quarrel with me because of such a misunderstanding?

Come on, let me take you to the mall and buy you anything you want. Everything I have is yours, and it

makes my heart ache to see you so angry, messing your pretty face."

After hearing the sweet words, all meant for her, Yulia looked much better. She finally reluctantly said, NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

"Well, I forgive you."

Alan heaved a sigh of relief when he was finally able to allay Yulia's rage. But he also realized that he

needed to keep an eye on her. She wasn't as clueless as he had assumed. He hadn't expected that

Yulia would hire someone to take pictures of him. It was clear that things needed to be postponed for

the time being.

In order to prove his sincerity, Alan put aside everything he was doing and took Yulia to the shopping

mall, heading straight to a luxury store.

"Isn't your company financially strained?"

"So what, I am ready to go broke to earn my dear love's forgiveness?"

Alan's eyes were full of affection. He was an attractive man with a handsome face and knew how to

use his charm and charisma to control a woman. Most of the time, he was a generous man, not afraid

of spending money.

He had learned early that only high investments could bring him a high return.

Yulia was so touched to the core of her heart. She didn't buy as many things as before, but Alan

thought it was not enough, so he deliberately picked more things to make her happy.

The matter of the photos was brushed off easily and Alan managed to escape unscathed. This time,

Yulia not only didn't see through Alan's well-orchestrated acts of deception, but also loved him more.

Especially when she saw how much Alan cared about her even when he was in such a difficult

situation. She felt even guiltier than before.

In the next few days, Alan spent a lot of time accompanying Yulia. He claimed that he was trying to

make amends and Yulia soon forgot about what he had done before.

After waiting for a few days, Melinda heard no news from Yulia; if anything, the next time she saw them

together, they were still close, acting all lovey-dovey. Melinda deduced that Yulia still trusted Alan and

for a while she didn't know what to think of their relationship.

Jonas and Yulia were from the same father but Yulia had a very low IQ while Jonas had a high one. It

seemed that the IQ of the mother was very important for the descendants.

"They have been playing around a lot recently. Hasn't anything else happened? Isn't Alan's company in

trouble? How could he be so free?"

Melinda muttered in confusion. Anyone with a brain could see that there was something wrong with this

whole situation, but Yulia didn't seem to notice anything, probably due to the emotional hallucination of

love.

"Alan is a repeat offender. Yulia has a lot of money and is stupid enough to be deceived. The company

is just a shell company. When the two of them went out for fun, he would just make a phone call and

ask someone to create a scene, claiming that he owed them money. Yulia would take the bait and give

him the money voluntarily," the private detective recounted sarcastically.

Melinda touched her forehead and just wanted to shrink into her seat. She felt ashamed. 'Yulia is really

a stupid person. Perhaps Alan targeted her because of that,' she thought.

"How much money did she give to Alan?"

"I don't know the exact amount but it is in millions."

Melinda was shocked. It was her first time to know that Yulia was so rich. She didn't know that Yulia

was using Jonas's additional credit card and Jonas's money.

What was more, he had swindled millions out of her! It was obvious fraud and Alan would definitely rot

in prison.

"Please help me gather evidence of his crimes within the next two days. Alan must have lied to many

people. Yulia is not the only one. This scumbag has to pay."

It was just that Yulia was a very rich woman and it made Alan spend more time and energy on her.

Melinda could not help but pull her hair into a bun unconsciously as if she was getting ready for war,

but in actual fact, she was hesitant to expose his shady dealings.

No matter what, Yulia was a member of the Gu family. If this matter was made public, it would be a

disgrace to the Gu family. So maybe she should discuss it with Jonas.

"Miss Mo, for the sake of eliminating this kind of scam from the public, I will give you a 30% discount."

The private detective's laughter came through, and then he hung up the phone.

People always said that private detectives had no morality and only cared about money, but Melinda

didn't think so. The one she was working with sounded different.

Eliminating the scam for the public? She was satisfied with his words.

Soaring Group had been very busy the past few days, so Jonas didn't notice that his account had lost

millions. He had received messages from his bank, but he had been so busy that he hadn't gotten to

read them. That was until the bank manager called and said that someone was investigating his

account.

"Have you found out who did it?"

"It is still under investigation. We will tell you as soon as possible..."

"Jonas!"

The speech on the other end of the phone was interrupted as Melinda walked into the study like a gust

of wind. Jonas looked at her unhappily, but did not say anything. He simply spoke to the person on the

other end of the phone, "Let's talk about it later."

Melinda blinked, looking very innocent, wondering if she had done something wrong. Looking at her,

Jonas asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"

"Right. I have something to tell you. Yulia's boyfriend is a liar... I am doing this to save the many people

that he has deceived and prevent him from hurting anymore, so you won't say anything, right?"

Melinda said as she thought to herself, 'You can say whatever you want. Anyway, Grandpa will help

me. It feels great to do whatever I want with someone backing me up.'

"So you are the one who asked someone to investigate my bank account?"

Jonas thought of what had occurred during his call with the bank manager and what had happened

before and after the call. He knew that Alan was a liar, but he didn't care much.

"I guess so. I've arranged for someone to collect evidence, but why would he investigate your bank

account? It's so weird." Melinda touched her chin in confusion. Jonas didn't want to argue with her any

longer. Looking at his expression, she turned her head around.

"Is that money yours?"

she asked with great care.

"If not, who else's would it be? Would it be yours?"

His words were full of sarcasm, which hurt Melinda deeply.

After knowing this matter, Jonas told the bank about it and from there it was easy for them to

investigate the issue, and the evidence was soon collected. Melinda immediately let the detective turn it

to the police.

After the evidence was submitted, the police filed a case, and the employees of Aner Electronic

Technology Company were quickly rounded up and taken to the police station for further questioning,

and the company was closed down pending investigations.

The news quickly spread and caused a great sensation in A City. Alan was taken to the police station,

and his true identity was soon exposed. Many women who had been deceived by him came to the

police station to file for more claims.

Alan had extorted a large amount of money, ranging from tens of thousands to millions, and Yulia was

his biggest victim.

Yulia was also taken to the police station to assist in the investigation.

"Sir, there must be some mistake. Alan is not that kind of person. You must be mistaken."

Yulia was tempted to use the power of Gu family to save Alan, but she didn't dare to do so. Even

though she was unwilling to admit it, the facts were all staked against Alan, so if she used her family's

powers, she would disgrace the Gu family.

"Miss Gu, we understand your feelings, but the evidence is here right. I hope you won't make it difficult

for us."

In fact, the police station was sympathetic to Yulia, but they changed their attitude when they saw that

Yulia was likely to stir up trouble.

When Yulia left the police station, she was like the walking dead. Her lover who had been intimate with

her this whole time was nothing but a wolf in sheep's skin and all he wanted was her property.

She couldn't believe how silly she was to believe his sweet words.
