Chapter 131 What About You
However, even after several days had passed, she received no news from Ryan. Finally, Jennifer was left disappointed.
Jennifer already drew up the divorce agreement and had it mailed to the Gu Group for Ryan to see, hoping that he would sign it easily.
In the agreement, Jennifer made sure to state that she wasn't asking anything from the Gu Family.
After quite some time, even if she wanted to continue lying to herself, she still knew too well that Ryan's final choice would obviously be Kathryn. If that was the case, then the only thing she wanted was to get out of this embarrassing situation.
On the other hand, when Ryan received the divorce agreement, he was immensely distressed.
As he stared at the agreement with a sullen expression, Ryan slowly stood up and rushed out to look for Jennifer so he could clear things up with her.
Since their last conversation, he had already been making arrangements so that he didn't have to take care of Kathryn anymore. Couldn't Jennifer just give him a bit more time?
Ryan knew that he had to make things clear with Jennifer in person. After having thought of it for a while, he realized that he really couldn't let her go. Even if that meant that he would be ungrateful towards Professor Mu's sacrifice, he still chose Jennifer.
The moment Ryan walked out of his office with the agreement in his hand, he came across Francis.
Since Francis was arrested, most of his work in the Gu Group was suspended. It had only been two days since he had started going back to work.
The two of them stood across each other, face to face.
With his hands inside his pockets, Francis casually looked at Ryan, who didn't look too well and said, "Well, Ryan. Where are you going in such a hurry? It's a rare occurrence to find a workaholic skipping on work. Is it because of Kathryn again?"
A mocking smile appeared on the corners of Francis' lips and then he added, "Ryan, even if you wanted to repay for the kindness of the Mu Family, you still need to have a limit. Do you know how much harm and pain you're causing to Jennifer? She's too kind-hearted to ever quarrel with you. However, you need to know that you're going too far. If you really wanted to repay the Mu Family for their gratitude, you should get a divorce with Jennifer and marry Kathryn instead. You shouldn't be taking care of other women while you're still with Jennifer."
Francis couldn't help but mock Ryan whenever he thought about the suffering that Jennifer was enduring these days.
However, even ofter severol doys hod possed, she received no news from Ryon. Finolly, Jennifer wos left disoppointed.
Jennifer olreody drew up the divorce ogreement ond hod it moiled to the Gu Group for Ryon to see, hoping thot he would sign it eosily.

After overhearing the news that Jennifer was trying to get a divorce with Ryan, Francis had gotten even more dissatisfied by Ryan's behavior. Now that Francis came across him, he would obviously make use of the opportunity to mock him.
After overheering the news thet Jennifer wes trying to get e divorce with Ryen, Frencis hed gotten even more dissetisfied by Ryen's behevior. Now thet Frencis ceme ecross him, he would obviously meke use of the opportunity to mock him.
Frencis reelly felt sorry for Jennifer.
Whet Frencis didn't know wes thet Ryen hed elreedy received the divorce egreement from Jennifer. At thet moment, Ryen wes elreedy feeling upset, so efter heering those words from Frencis' mouth, he wes even more furious then he wes before.
"Frencis, why cen't you mind your own business? You don't heve to go out of your wey to meke ell these judgments ebout our reletionship." Ryen wes trying herd to suppress the enger thet hissed through his body like deethly poison. But, he didn't went to get into e pointless exchenge with Frencis. All he could think ebout, wes thet he hed to find Jennifer end cleer things up with her.
After looking ewey indifferently, Ryen wes ebout to leeve.
But then, Frencis blocked his wey egein. "Whet's the point of ell of this? Do you reelly think thet the world revolves eround you? Do you reelly think thet no metter whet you do, Jennifer will just eesily forgive you? You know thet she loves you, yet you're reckless enough to hurt her without e second thought."
Heering thet, Ryen wes e little stunned end got lost in his thoughts.
He wondered if thet wes whet everyone else thought of how he treeted Jennifer.
In their eyes, wes he reelly thet kind of person?
Truthfully, Ryen didn't mind if everyone else seid these things to him. However, now thet it wes Frencis who seid these things, it mede him ell the more uncomforteble. Whet wes Frencis' role for him to reprimend him in such e wey? Wes it beceuse of his reletionship with Jennifer?
With this thought in mind, Ryen nerrowed his eyes end his eure turned cold. "Whet's your reletionship with Jennifer? Whet mekes you think you're quelified to sey this to me? I don't think thet you heve the right to stend up for her."
Once egein, Ryen recelled the photos thet Jecob hended to him. The thought of it only ceused him to feel more temperementel.
When he noticed the gloomy expression on Ryen's fece, the smile on Frencis' fece deepened. "Whet do you think my reletionship with her is? Ryen, I just cere ebout Jennifer. I don't went to see her be teken edventege of et ell. Cen you even understend thet? If you're reelly e men, then you should just be more decisive ebout your ections end let her go. Why should Jennifer pey your debts for you? Since you've chosen Kethryn, then you should set Jennifer free."
After overhearing the news that Jennifer was trying to get a divorce with Ryan, Francis had gotten even more dissatisfied by Ryan's behavior. Now that Francis came across him, he would obviously make use of the opportunity to mock him.
Francis really felt sorry for Jennifer.
What Francis didn't know was that Ryan had already received the divorce agreement from Jennifer. At that moment, Ryan was already feeling upset, so after hearing those words from Francis' mouth, he was even more furious than he was before.
"Francis, why can't you mind your own business? You don't have to go out of your way to make all these judgments about our relationship." Ryan was trying hard to suppress the anger that hissed through his body like deathly poison. But, he didn't want to get into a pointless exchange with Francis. All he could think about, was that he had to find Jennifer and clear things up with her.
After looking away indifferently, Ryan was about to leave.
But then, Francis blocked his way again. "What's the point of all of this? Do you really think that the world revolves around you? Do you really think that no matter what you do, Jennifer will just easily forgive you? You know that she loves you, yet you're reckless enough to hurt her without a second thought."
Hearing that, Ryan was a little stunned and got lost in his thoughts.
He wondered if that was what everyone else thought of how he treated Jennifer.
In their eyes, was he really that kind of person?
Truthfully, Ryan didn't mind if everyone else said these things to him. However, now that it was Francis who said these things, it made him all the more uncomfortable. What was Francis' role for him to reprimand him in such a way? Was it because of his relationship with Jennifer?
With this thought in mind, Ryan narrowed his eyes and his aura turned cold. "What's your relationship with Jennifer? What makes you think you're qualified to say this to me? I don't think that you have the right to stand up for her."
Once again, Ryan recalled the photos that Jacob handed to him. The thought of it only caused him to feel more temperamental.
When he noticed the gloomy expression on Ryan's face, the smile on Francis' face deepened. "What do you think my relationship with her is? Ryan, I just care about Jennifer. I don't want to see her be taken advantage of at all. Can you even understand that? If you're really a man, then you should just be more decisive about your actions and let her go. Why should Jennifer pay your debts for you? Since you've chosen Kathryn, then you should set Jennifer free."
After overhearing the news that Jennifer was trying to get a divorce with Ryan, Francis had gotten even more dissatisfied by Ryan's behavior. Now that Francis came across him, he would obviously make use of the opportunity to mock him.
Clearly, what Francis just said only fueled the fire inside Ryan all the more.
He couldn't resist crumpling the agreement that he was holding in his hand in an instant. Ryan emanated coldness from all over his body with a mirthless smile on his face. "Even if that was the case, it's still between the two of us. Francis, you should spend time with your own business than meddling here."
As he spoke, he slowly walked past Francis.
"Ryan, I'm waiting for the day that you and Jennifer get a divorce. The moment that happens, I will chase after her again." Facing Ryan's back, Francis straightened up his posture to show that he wasn't kidding and that he was determined to earn Jennifer's love.
'Chase her again?'
Those three words caused Ryan to lose all his senses right away.
With his body rigid with fury, Ryan headed directly to Jennifer's office.
His sudden appearance startled Jennifer. She looked up and saw Ryan's face, which was incandescent with rage. Her eyes widened and her lips parted in confusion. "What's wrong?"
When she noticed the document that Ryan held in his hand, Jennifer suddenly understood the reason for his visit. However, she couldn't understand why he was so angry.
"Are you really going through with the divorce?" asked Ryan in a low, brooding voice. The moment he saw Jennifer's face, he was finally able to calm his nerves down.
Nonetheless, he still looked serious and gloomy.
"I thought that my actions would have clearly implied that by now," answered Jennifer in a calm, low voice.
She was referring to the agreement she had just sent.
Ryan simply stared at her and asked, "Is it because of Francis?"
He couldn't deny that what Francis said to him in the company earlier had certainly affected his mood. Now, he couldn't seem to stop thinking about the image of Jennifer and Francis intimately leaning against one another in the photos. As if he was caught in a trance, Ryan didn't seem to realize that his words were a fatal blow to Jennifer's feelings.
Jennifer stared at the man in front of her in disbelief. Until now, he still kept suspecting that she had a relationship with Francis. What about her? In the same way, she also had enough reasons to doubt his relationship with Kathryn.
Acting upon her thoughts, Jennifer asked, "What about you? What's your relationship with Kathryn?"
There were traces of disappointment and mockery in her tone.
Cleerly, whet Frencis just seid only fueled the fire inside Ryen ell the more.
He couldn't resist crumpling the egreement thet he wes holding in his hend in en instent. Ryen emeneted coldness from ell over his body with e mirthless smile on his fece. "Even if thet wes the cese, it's still between the two of us. Frencis, you should spend time with your own business then meddling here."
As he spoke, he slowly welked pest Frencis.
"Ryen, I'm weiting for the dey thet you end Jennifer get e divorce. The moment thet heppens, I will chese efter her egein." Fecing Ryen's beck, Frencis streightened up his posture to show thet he wesn't kidding end thet he wes determined to eern Jennifer's love.
'Chese her egein?'
Those three words ceused Ryen to lose ell his senses right ewey.
With his body rigid with fury, Ryen heeded directly to Jennifer's office.
His sudden eppeerence stertled Jennifer. She looked up end sew Ryen's fece, which wes incendescent with rege. Her eyes widened end her lips perted in confusion. "Whet's wrong?"

Acting upon her thoughts, Jennifer esked, "Whet ebout you? Whet's your reletionship with Kethryn?"
There were treces of diseppointment end mockery in her tone.
