After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities

Chapter 272

Her voice ached with sorrow. Brayden rushed up without hesitation, pressing Aldo's hands sullenly. He

snapped, "Please behave yourself. What do you want from my sister?"

The petite girl stood between the two tall men. Jenna looked up at Brayden tearfully for help.

Brayden was softened.

He forcibly removed Aldo's hands from Jenna's shoulders.

The next second, he held Jenna tightly, feeling her shivering helplessly.

Brayden patted her back to calm her down. "Don't be afraid... Sh..."

Holding his waist tightly, Jenna pressed her face against his chest, her tears dripping.

Aldo's heart ached when he saw this scene.

The pain suffocated him.

Gazing at Brayden angrily and recalling what Brayden had said in the suburbs, he retorted ironically,

"Your sister? When did Mrs. Wright give birth to such a daughter?"

Then his gaze fell on Jenna and ordered crossly, "Come here, Jenna!"

How he wished to break Brayden's hands! Brayden dared to hold the precious girl that he treasured the

most.

Jenna had been disfigured. Aldo believed it must have something to do with Brayden or the Wright

family. Therefore, Jenna refused to admit she knew him.

Aldo stared daggers at Brayden, wishing to skin him alive.

Jenna secretly raised her head in Brayden's arms, darted a glance at Aldo, and insisted, "I don't know

you."

Aldo's gaze without any love and care as before looked strange to her.

She was also horrified by his expression, so she refused to go to him.

In her opinion, Aldo must dislike her, for she had become ugly, so he glared at her in anger.

Jenna couldn't accept it at all.

She used to countlessly imagine the scene where she reencountered Aldo. She was afraid Aldo would

dislike her, but she also expected him would not.

However, the fact disappointed her greatly, and she had to face it.

She believed Aldo disliked her ugly face.

Since they reencountered, he didn't ask her how she was doing in the past few days, where she

stayed, and if she was all right.

All he wanted was to take her away from Brayden. His possessive gaze, aggressive tone, and attitude

toward Brayden and her had indicated he didn't care about her.

He even didn't ask her how she had been injured.

Jenna was suffocated by her heartache.

Cristal watched the scene in confusion.

As Elvis told her earlier, Jenna had been disfigured. How ugly!

However, she was surprised Aldo still couldn't forget that girl. 'What's so good about such an ugly girl?'

Ignored, Cristal walked to Aldo in irritation and gripped his hand. "Mr. Carson, I'm your girlfriend now.

How can you pester another woman in my presence? Can't you respect me?"

Aldo shook off her hand, looking annoyed. "Miss Chan, I only agreed to have dinner with you. I haven't

agreed to be your boyfriend. Please respect yourself."

"You agreed to have dinner with me. Wasn't it supposed to be a date? Aldo Carson, think I'm a fool?"

Cristal glared at him, feeling humiliated in public as if he had slapped her across her face.

"Let's go..." Jenna muttered to Brayden, who hugged her tightly. The latter nodded his agreement, held

her hand, and bypassed Aldo and Cristal, heading forward.

"Stop!" Aldo strode to follow the two, gloominess written all over his handsome face. "Jenna, you must

go home with me."

"Mr. Carson, she doesn't know you at all," Brayden reminded him while scowling at him, a sneer Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

playing on his lips.

Usually, he acted like a play boy, but now, he had a strong vibe.

Standing protectively before Jenna, he was as solid and firm as a mountain.

Although he filled the air with stress, Jenna felt warm and secure.

Gripping the hemline of his shirt, she felt Brayden was her last lifesaving straw.

"She's mine. She must go with me." Aldo looked at them coldly. His eyes were always with affection,

but now they were so dark with unfathomable emotions, sending a chill down Jenna's spine.

"No! I don't want..." Jenna muttered, afraid Brayden would let Aldo take her away.

She had never seen Aldo be like this and was horrified.

"Mr. Carson, I'm afraid your wish cannot come true. How dare you take her away from me!" A

murderous look appeared in Brayden's eyes. "Maskelyne Group has a piece of land, and I heard

Carson Group wanted to buy it. Mr. Carson, don't you want it anymore?"

Aldo's expression stiffened. "You!"

"Humph!" Brayden darted a glance at him ironically. Holding Jenna's hand, he left.

After sitting in the car, Jenna held the steering wheel with her stiff hands and started the engine.

She couldn't help trembling, feeling freezing as if she had just been taken out from a frozen river.

It turned out she wasn't as important as she had imagined, only worth a land, as Aldo gave her up for it.

The real world was indeed cruel.

Noticing her frustration, Brayden held her hand. "Your hands are freezing. Pull over the car."

However, Jenna seemed not to hear him, driving forward while staring ahead blankly.

Although her mind was jumbled, she could skillfully dodge the cars on the road.

Brayden couldn't utter any word but worriedly stared at her.

He hadn't expected her to have something to do with the Carson family. He heard they had an adopted

daughter suffering from autism.

At the National Day Gala, she seemed to perform with Sylvia together and attracted some attention.

Brayden decided to send Sylvia a private message on Facebook.

However, she didn't reply to him.

It seemed that Sylvia didn't care about him at all.

After arriving, Jenna finally calmed down and got off the car.

As soon as she entered the house, she locked herself in the bedroom, just like a turtle hiding in its

shell.

Mrs. Wright could tell there was something wrong with Jenna. "What happened? Didn't she have a

great time? Or did you do something to offend her?"

"Nah, Mom." Brayden didn't know how to tell his mother about things that had happened earlier. He

decided to hide it from her. "Mom, do you know how Sylvia has been doing recently?"

"I don't know. She's super busy. We haven't enjoyed high tea together for a long time." Mrs. Wright

shook her head.

Meanwhile, in the lab, Sylvia had just woken up from a coma. She had lost much weight in the past few

days, her eyes bigger and brighter.

When Logan walked over with lunch boxes, he passed her fully-charged phone to her. "Boss, I ordered

takeout from Royal Galaxy Restaurant. I heard it was prepared by Gage."

"Ehn." Sylvia took over the phone and turned it on. In fact, she had no appetite.

However, she knew she must take nutrition, which was helpful for detoxification, and she couldn't be

willful.

Gage cooked four dishes and a soup for her.
