Hunting for His EX-Wife

A moment later, people around them gradually returned to their senses. They stared at Joann, who was messy, as if they were expecting a good show to start.

Joann was taken aback. A moment later, she screamed, “Are you out of your mind, Martha?”

Martha curled up her lips into a faint smile and slightly loosened her fingers.

The flute dropped to the floor, letting out a crisp sound.

Upon hearing the sounds, Stefan stood up and strode towards Martha.

After the flute was broken, Martha glanced at the celebrities around them, noticing some famous reporters were in the crowd.

The next second, Stefan stood next to Martha protectively.

Looking down at Joann, he asked coldly, “What happened?”

The man in his forties, Joann’s date, also rushed over, staring at Joann in confusion.

Seeing her backer, Joann immediately threw herself into his arms and sobbed, “Joshua, I’m so aggrieved. I don’t know why Mrs. Harrison splashed the champagne on my face suddenly.”

When Joshua heard “Mrs. Harrison”, his face darkened.

Watching Joann’s coquetry, Martha couldn’t help but think, ‘Joann is just a model. No wonder her acting skills suck so much. Watching her acting really disgusts me.’

Martha withdrew her gaze, taking Stefan’s arm and looking up at him.

“She insulted me first.”

Then she glanced at the two female celebrities nearby, raised her chin, and added, “The two ladies must have heard what happened earlier. Joann Lowe slandered me first, so I taught her a lesson.”

Following her gaze, Stefan looked at the two women.

The two celebrities were at a loss. They were only standing by Martha and Joann and didn’t know what had happened exactly.

However, Mrs. Harrison declared they were the witnesses, so they had to respond.

Martha was Stefan’s wife, and they could tell Stefan cared about her. Joann was just an unknown woman. Therefore, they knew which side to take immediately.

After a pause, the celebrities answered in unison, “Exactly! We overheard their conversation earlier. That woman provoked Mrs. Harrison first.”

Joann’s face turned livid. She retorted, “How could you be like this? Stop talking nonsense!”

Stefan narrowed his gaze and interrupted her icily, “Ms. Lowe, you smeared my wife first. I don’t mind going through the legal process to defend my wife’s reputation.”

Joann stiffened, tugging Joshua’s hand uneasily.

Joshua couldn’t afford to offend Stefan and didn’t want to be disgraced in so many people’s presence.

He tried to break the stalemate. “Mr. and Mrs. Harrison, my date is so insensible. Please don’t bother yourself about her. I’ll ask her to apologize to Mrs. Harrison. Then we shall let go of it. What do you think?”

Stefan tilted his head to glance at Martha expressionlessly and replied, “It’s useless to ask me for my opinion. It only depends on my wife’s mood.”

The onlookers were slightly shocked.

They felt Stefan loved his wife, who returned after disappearing for five years.

The onlookers couldn’t help wondering if they had received fake news earlier.

Martha could also tell Stefan created a chance for her to get everyone’s approval and establish a foothold in business circles.

Joann’s eyes were full of hatred, but she dared not to blow up in public.

With an elegant smile, Martha said, “I don’t want to make a fuss here. Well, Joann, apologize to me. Then that’s it.”

“After all, I’m not petty. Nor do I want to sink to a petty person’s level.”

Joshua immediately pushed Joann, hinting at her to apologize to Martha.

Biting her lip, Joann had to say sorry to Martha.

Clenching her fists, she looked miserable as all her wet hair clung to her cheeks.

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Harrison.” She had to bow her head.

Martha darted at her and waved her hand indifferently, meaning she would let go of this matter.

At this moment, Martha was a proud woman with high social status. Joann behaved exceptionally humbly. The strong contrast between the two women made the onlookers stare at Martha with inquisitive eyes.

Joann could feel them gazing at her in irony. Looking annoyed, she hated Martha to the core.

…

An hour later, the cocktail party ended.

Martha held Stefan’s arm and bid others farewell with a sweet smile.

Once they left the banquet hall, she put away her smile.

In the banquet hall, she had to use Stefan to embarrass Joann. Since they had left the party, she didn’t need to continue pretending.

Martha let go of Stefan’s arm and thanked him.

Stefan frowned at her indifferent look.

He preferred to see her smile, even though she faked it just now.

After sitting in the car, neither talked.

An hour later, the black car was pulled up to the villa gate.

Martha took the initiative to push the door open and got off. After entering the house, she went upstairs and walked into her room.

On the way, the scenes about tonight’s party appeared in her mind.

She couldn’t figure out what Stefan wanted, why he introduced her to the Harrison Group’s clients, and why he helped her set up her social status in public.

Watching her receding figure, Stefan looked stern, his eyes dark.

Only the cherry of his cigarette flickered in the car parked in the silent parking lot.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Stefan didn’t go into the house until almost 20 minutes later.

He looked around the empty living room, his eyes intense.

‘She doesn’t want to spend time with me so badly?’

The thought irritated him again, although he had calmed down after smoking a cigarette. After a pause, he went upstairs.

Stefan stopped at Martha’s door and knocked on it gently.

A long time later, Martha opened the door in confusion.

When her eyes met his, she was startled.

The next second, she returned to her senses and subconsciously wanted to shut the door.

However, Stefan reacted quickly, reached out, and stopped her from doing so.

“What do you want?” Martha frowned and pushed the door hard, but it didn’t work.

Stefan approached her, noticing her face was full of tiredness.

“Get out! Or I’ll… Hmm…”

Before Martha reacted, Stefan reached to cup her chin, lowered his head, and kissed her.
