Chapter 11 These Words Sound Familiarl
However, the expected scene of crying and begging for mercy didn’t happen.
Sarah, surprised, looked up and saw only Ariella’s face showing scorn.
She even thought it was her hallucination.
After all, she always knew Ariella loved Jovan and would’ve done anything for him.
Even after finding out how Sarah managed to marry into the Hensley family, Ariella never showed disrespect.
Thinking this, Sarah returned to her usual arrogant attitude.
“Hurry up and take Leo away. He is too loud; I haven’t slept well for two days.”
Ariella suddenly got a mischievous idea and imitated Sarah’s tone from years ago, teasing, “How can you not manage to take care of a little kid? Are you even a woman?”
Sarah was shocked by the tone and looked at Ariella in disbelief.
“You crazy bitch, how dare you speak to me like that! Do you have any idea how difficult your son is? He demanded stewed pork ribs first thing in the morning!”
Ariella smiled slightly.
“So what? Couldn’t you have gotten up at 3 AM to make them?”
Sarah replied without thinking, “Don’t I need to sleep? I’m old, my back and waist hurt…”
“Just hang in there. Think about it this way. When the kid grows up and treats you well, you’ll realize it was all worth
it.”
Sarah was about to yell when she suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why did these words sound familiar?
Her face turned dark.“Ariella, are you implying that I’ve mistreated you in the past by saying these things?”
“Yes. Or maybe I should just slap you right in the face,” Ariella scoffed, taking pleasure in the furious expression on Sarah’s face.
Sarah’s body shook with anger.“Very good. Since you’re pushing me like this, I’m gonna call my son right now and let
him handle this!”
Ariella didn’t respond this time.
Sarah’s confidence increased. “You’re getting nervous, aren’t you? I don’t even need to call my son, but you better hand over that diamond necklace you got recently!”
Ariella scoffed.
She thought Sarah was truly a pathetic idiot.
Then, Ariella chose to let go this time and explained the situation to Sarah.
“Ms. Turner, you don’t have the right to speak to me like this anymore, because I’m divorcing Jovan, and Leo will be living with him.

“But honestly, I didn’t expect Jovan to have you take care of Leo.
“I thought he would hire a nanny, a therapist, and a nutritionist instead of having you take on all these responsibilities.”
In the past, she had put up with a lot for Jovan.
But now that she was even going to divorce Jovan, she no longer cared about putting up with Sarah.
“Oh, Ms. Turner.”
Ariella took a step forward.
Her commanding presence caused Sarah’s heart to race.

“I remember you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar, so you really shouldn’t get angry or stay up late, or you might risk sudden death.”
After saying this, Ariella entered the subway station with a sense of satisfaction.
Sarah wanted to argue, but there were too many people at the entrance. In a moment of distraction, Ariella vanished.
She stamped her foot in anger.
How dare Ariella curse her to death! She wouldn’t let this bitch off easily this time!
Did Ariella just say she was planning to divorce Jovan?
Sarah scoffed.
She believed Ariella was shameless and wouldn’t easily agree to divorce Jovan.
It was just her tactic.
Sarah took out her phone and called Jovan.
Back at the villa yesterday, Jovan noticed that Leonel hadn’t returned and the daily nanny had already left.
The villa was empty.
It annoyed him greatly.
Usually, there was always a light on when he returned.
But now, the darkness felt like an abyss, almost swallowing him whole.
He didn’t want to go in.
Finally, he left, calling friends to drink.
He drank a lot and slept on the club sofa overnight.
Gerald stayed with him, and nothing occurred.
But he didn’t sleep well. At work today, he seemed to be in a bad mood. During the meeting, the shareholders da not speak up.
When his phone rang, Jovan looked slightly relieved, and the shareholders also seemed to relax a bit.
Seeing the caller ID, Jovan’s face darkened further.
Everyone quickly bowed their heads, scared.

Fortunately, Jovan picked up the phone and left the meeting room.
He moved the phone away to avoid Sarah’s loud voice.
“Get your wife under control! She’s out of her mind, shouting and cursing at me!
“Get her in line, or…

“Or you should just divorce her! She went to the kindergarten to see Leo today. I don’t want her to see my grandson again!”

Jovan’s breath caught,
‘She went to the kindergarten to see Leo?
Sarah, grinding her teeth, said, “Yes. You better make her regret every single word she said today, or you’ll be the one to face the consequences for it!”
Jovan was quiet, then spoke gently.
“Okay, I’ll handle it. I’ll pick up Leo tonight.”
Sarah beamed, “Great. Make her apologize to me and bring a gift while she’s at it.”
Hearing this, Jovan frowned.
“A gift?”
“I asked her for that diamond necklace she just got, and she had the nerve to say no. I’ll make her regret that decision!”
Jovan remembered that necklace.
He bought a necklace abroad six months ago, which was featured in the international news.
After he got back, Ariella kept dropping hints, subtly fishing for when he planned to gift her the necklace.
Not long after, Lailah wore it to attend a charity dinner.
After the news, Ariella never asked about it again.
If Sarah didn’t mention it, he almost forgot about it.
“I understand.”
He hung up.
By the window, his expression hardened as he looked at the autumn scene.
After a while, he took a deep breath and called Gerald.
Gerald complained immediately.
“Jovan, I’ve got some people working on keeping your thing with Lailah under wraps online and in the news.
“Seriously, you need to lay low to make sure Ariella doesn’t catch wind of it.
“Oh, and by the way, did you manage to calm Ariella down?”
Jovan’s face darkened, but he spoke arrogantly.
“Why should I bother? She’ll be back, begging me, sooner or later.”
Gerald was stunned for a moment.
“Ariella hasn’t come back yet?”
Jovan gritted his teeth.
“Don’t worry about her. Have you checked the project issue I asked
you about?”
Gerald realized he was changing the subject, so he didn’t push any further about Ariella.
He responded, “It’s the Cooley Group that took your project. They’re with Mr. Gilmore at the golf course right now. Think we should head over there?”
He was hinting they could take back the project.

Jovan didn’t respond right away.
After pondering for a bit, he abruptly asked a question that caught Gerald off guard.
“Are there any diamond necklaces up for auction recently?”
