Regardless of whether Alice was ashamed or not, Jenna gave a damn. Alice struggled as she saw the woman tear the bandage off her bandaged left leg.

The temperature in the ward fell to below zero all of a sudden.

Jenna scoffed as she observed Alice's leg being watched.

“Wow, it's so terrible that not even a drop of blood is running out. If I arrived a little later, I'm worried that your ‘wound’ will totally heal.”

“Jenna! You... Rex, it's not like that... It's only that I'm feeling weak right now and will recover better with a blood transfusion.”

The man turned to look at Alice. As she frantically explained, her heart raced.

Four to five times a month, you get hurt. You're attempting to drain my blood, in my opinion. You won't have another chance like this in the future. “Jenna added in a chilly tone. Arrange for Rex to wed another fool to become your new mobile blood bank.

Jenna snorted after that and walked out of the ward without turning around.

Jenna collapsed on a bench in the hallway as she slammed the door to the ward shut, feeling depressed and as like the entire world had abandoned her.

Tears streamed down Jenna's eyes as she pulled out her phone and mumbled, "I'll try my hardest to make a call," her voice choking with exhaustion.

“Big brother….”

Only hearing her voice, the other person sighed quietly. His tone was gracious. “I'll come get you, where are you?"

A few minutes later, the unconscious woman was gently carried out of the hospital by a noble and elegant man who was in the company of a group of enigmatic men dressed in black.

With a dejected expression, Rex dragged the attending physician out of the ward. He was furious, as seen by his black eyes.

“Is this the quality of professionalism in your hospital? A serious leg injury?! Is a blood transfusion really necessary for scraped skin?”

Rex delivered a chilling performance. He felt guiltier and more intensely experienced that peculiar feeling in his heart every time he remembered Jenna's frail condition following her blood donation.

The doctor trembled and no longer dared to keep the truth from him.

"Mr. Hidalgo, we will never dare to do this again. It was Ms. Florence's command. It has nothing to do with our hospital. She said you agreed to all of the blood transfusions. Every time Ms. Jenna contributed blood, you were also there.”

‘Alice Florence Did I treat her too kindly? Just because of that picture, Jenna insisted on getting a divorce. Has she been misinformed about my friendship with Alice?’

Rex reasoned that he could simply explain it to her in that situation. Despite not feeling any passion for his wife, he had always been devoted to their union and was content with the way things were. He therefore had no problem continuing in this manner for the rest of their lives.

He had never considered getting a divorce since they got married, at least.

If Jenna wasn't happy with his connection with Alice, he may separate himself from Alice.

Rex believed that if they resolved this minor issue, their marriage would still be salvageable.

When he tried to call Jenna on her phone, it was off.

Rex drew the security who was standing at the door, his brows furrowed furiously. A little while later, the nervous bodyguard was in front of him.

"Mr. Hidalgo, the hospital's security footage was suddenly compromised ten minutes ago, and despite searching the entire facility, we are unable to locate the young madam anywhere.”

Rex scowled, even more, his thin lips curled into a tight line. He experienced an unexplainable emotion surge in his chest as he recalled Jenna signing the divorce agreement without hesitation. His deep, dark eyes had an unfathomable, impenetrable quality.

"Where can she go now that the divorce is final? She is financially disadvantaged.

His heart felt exceedingly uneasy, and the unpleasant feeling that usually dogged him became more severe at the notion of her leaving so abruptly.

"Get someone to look for her, and let me know as soon as you do."

"How could she switch off her phone in such a manner? She certainly stepped out of line! '

I agree, sir.

Rex did not want to admit that this woman, who was no longer his wife, had caused him to experience a moment of anxiety.

………………………….

The lavishly adorned room's limited-edition expensive Italian furniture felt familiar to Jenna. Her tears began to fall as soon as she opened her eyes and saw the lavish chamber that she had not seen in a while.

"This is my bedroom,"

It's simply a divorce; why are you crying? Do you believe the Anderson family won't be able to support you?

Her ears were filled with a wise and stern voice. Jenna cried even more and looked over with pained eyes.

Marcus Anderson, the fabled Chairman of the Anderson Empire, who had the power to quake New York City with the sole of his foot, was standing in Jenna's room, appearing regal and haughty.

"Dad..."

  • The Wealthy Divorcee   A Crown’s Decision

    The silence inside the Grand Council Chamber of the Palacio Real de Madrid did not just linger; it suffocated. It was the kind of silence that preceded the shifting of tectonic plates, where the breath of powerful men caught in their throats as they waited for history to forge a new path. Jenna Anderson remained perfectly still, her hands resting lightly on the polished mahogany table. She did not lean back, nor did she lean forward. Her posture was a masterclass in regal indifference, a stark contrast to the nervous energy radiating from the Spanish ministers surrounding her. Behind her, she could feel the steady, reassuring warmth of Daniel's presence, a solid anchor in a room full of shifting political tides.The Grand Chancellor's eyes swept across the oval table, his hand holding the heavy ceremonial gavel suspended in the air like the sword of Damocles.

  • The Wealthy Divorcee   Summoned by the King

    The scorching Mediterranean sun cast long, amber shadows across the polished white marble of the Palacio Real de Madrid. For Jenna Anderson, the transition from the cutthroat boardroom warfare of New York City to the ancient, gilded halls of European royalty felt less like a leap and more like a natural progression. Over the past year, the global financial landscape has shifted on its axis, driven entirely by the strategic brilliance of the Anderson Empire's newly minted powerhouse. No longer was she the fragile, isolated woman who had quietly bled her youth and soul away in the cold corners of the Hidalgo household. Today, she arrived in Spain not as a supplicant, nor merely as a wealthy heiress, but as a sovereign entity of economic influence, summoned by the crown itself.The heavy, gold-leafed doors of the palace diplomatic wing swung open with a synchronized, heavy thud. Jenna stepped through, the sharp click of her stiletto heels echoing against the vaulted ceilings adorned with

  • The Wealthy Divorcee   Healing Tensions

    The sterile white walls of the Presbyterian Hospital's private wing felt more like a prison than a sanctuary. The scent of antiseptic and floor wax was sharp, a clinical reminder of the violence that had unfolded only hours prior. Jenna sat in a stiff, leather armchair pulled close to the bed, her eyes fixed on the rhythmic rise and fall of Daniel's chest. The heart monitor's beeping was the only sound in the room, a steady, mechanical pulse that felt far more reliable than the world outside.Daniel lay under a thin hospital sheet, his shoulder heavily bandaged where the high-caliber round had torn through muscle and bone. His face, usually an unreadable mask of stoic duty, was softened by the exhaustion of surgery and blood loss. He looked younger when he was asleep, less like the lethal weapon David had forged and more like a man who had nearly lost everything to keep a promise.Jenna's hands were clasped in her lap, her knuckles white. The guilt was a heavy, suffocating weight. She

  • The Wealthy Divorcee   Bullet in the Crowd

    The strobe lights of the Pierre Hotel ballroom had long since turned into a nauseating blur of white and crimson. Jenna stood frozen at the podium, the air in her lungs feeling like shards of glass. Alice Florence, the woman who had haunted her marriage, her business, and her very survival, stood only twenty feet away, camouflaged in the mundane grey of a press pool.The red laser dot was a steady, mocking eye on Jenna's chest. It didn't waver. It was the mark of a predator who had finally cornered its prey."Hello, Jenna," Alice's voice purred, amplified by the hot mic into a sound that felt like a serrated blade across the skin. "Did you miss me?"Before Jenna could even scream, the world fractured.CRACK.The gunshot was a physical blow, a thunderclap that shattered the high-society silence of the ballroom. For a heartbeat, the room was a tableau of absolute terror. Jenna felt a violent shove, the wind knocked out of her as a heavy, solid weight collided with her, sending her sprawl

  • The Wealthy Divorcee   The Inescapable War

    The air in the high-security bunker beneath the J&J temporary headquarters was thick with the scent of ozone and unuttered tension. Jenna Anderson stood before a wall of monitors, her reflection ghostly against the scrolling data of global trade routes and encrypted chatter. Her navy suit was crisp, masking the bruises that still throbbed along her ribs—a physical reminder of the explosion that had nearly claimed her life.Beside her, Special Agent Miller of the FBI adjusted his glasses, his face illuminated by the harsh blue light of the screens. "It's confirmed, Ms. Anderson," Miller said, his voice dropping an octave. "Alice Florence didn't just survive the fallout in Europe; she's metastasized. Our intelligence indicates she has successfully established a primary cell of her new syndicate right here on U.S. soil. They're calling it 'The Obsidian Crown.' It's a hybrid—half-corporate espionage, half-militant insurgency." Jenna didn't flinch, though a cold shiver traced her spine.

  • The Wealthy Divorcee   Flames of Memory

    The severed rose remained on Jenna’s desk long after the call ended.She did not throw it away.She did not move it.Because removing it would mean denying what it represented.And Jenna Hidalgo had never survived by denying reality.Only by confronting it.Morning arrived with unnatural brightness.As if the city itself had chosen to ignore the shadow tightening around her life.Black cars lined the street outside J&J headquarters.Royal insignias gleamed beneath the sun.Media swarmed like vultures sensing something historic.Inside, tension moved faster than whispers.“Is it true?”“The Crown is officially backing J&J?”“They say it’s more than business…”“They say she might become Queen.”Jenna stood at the edge of the executive floor, watching the arrival through reinforced glass.Her reflection stared back at her.Calm.Composed.Unshaken.But beneath it.A storm waited.The elevator doors opened.David stepped out.Not as a businessman.Not as an ally.But as a King.Every move
