My Ex-Wife is So Beautiful

Ben wasn’t much surprised at Jared’s decision. He slightly nodded. “OK, Mr. Farrell.”

“You can leave now. Please take those files away.” Jared pinched his nose bridge.

Looking at the pile of documents, Ben held them up.

Shortly after he had gone, Jared’s phone rang. It was a call from Logan.

“I’ve watched your press conference, Jared.” Logan was wearing a basketball uniform while sitting on the bench next to the basketball court. He had just finished a game, looking pretty excited.

Jared leaned against the back of his chair. “So?”

“So, congratulations!” Logan wiped his sweat. “I’m glad you’ve left the disaster, Jared.”

Jared curled up his lips into a faint smile. “All right. I got it. Go ahead with your game. I’ve gotta go.”

Upon hearing Logan’s slightly rapid breath, Jared guessed that he was still in a match.

Recently, the U17 Tournament was on a peak time. There were two to three matches a day. Hence, Jared guessed that Logan had called him during the break.

“Wait, Jared!” Logan tossed away the towel and stopped him hurriedly.

Jared frowned. “What else?”

“Nothing much. I just want to ask. I heard Makenna… had been… Is it real?” Logan asked curiously.

He just got the information online and didn’t read the details, so he didn’t know if it was true.

Jared hummed and said, “Yes, it’s real.”

“Oh…” Logan gasped in surprise.

Soon, he calmed down. Curling his lips, he said, “Sure enough, there’s karma in this world. She has done so many evil things to Amber. It’s her nemesis.”

Jared’s eyes twinkled.

Logan’s words reminded him. Makenna’s biggest enemy was Amber. Hence, what she had done this time must target Amber.

Of course, he didn’t mean Amber had done it to avenge. As far as he knew about Amber, even she wanted to avenge, she would use the law instead of this method. However, Amber’s friends might use alternatives.

Jared wondered if it was done by Cole or Jeremy.

Or, probably, Hayden?

Thinking how those three men looked at Amber, Jared couldn’t help getting caught up in vexation again. He pulled a long face.

He could tell those three men had crushes on Amber, which angered him a lot. They could do such a thing to Makenna because of Amber.

“Jared? Hello?” Logan raised his voice and called him as he hadn’t heard Jared’s voice for a long time.

Jared returned to his senses. “Yes?”

“I asked you a question just now, but you didn’t respond at all. What are you doing?” Logan said unhappily, pouting.

Jared rubbed his temples. “I was thinking about something. What did you ask?”

“I asked why you wanted to cancel your engagement with Makenna when you left the hospital last time,” Logan repeated.

He didn’t believe it was because Makenna was vicious, which Jared mentioned in the press conference.

Jared had known Makenna was vicious quite a long time ago. Why didn’t he cancel it but did it after leaving the hospital?

Logan believed that there must be some other reasons behind it.

Last time, he didn’t ask Jared, so he wanted to ask Jared now.

“You should know I dated Makenna because she was my pen pal,” Jared answered flatly while staring at the computer screen.

Logan nodded hard. “Yes, I know it.”

Although he was still little at that time, only ten, he knew his older brother had a pen pal and had fallen in love with her.

However, he didn’t know Jared’s pen pal’s name. He was too young to be interested in such matters.

“Then I didn’t know until now Makenna was fake. My real pen pal is Amber.” When mentioning Amber’s name, Jared’s voice softened a lot.

“Holy shit!” Logan hopped up from the bench in surprise.

His coach and teammates were shocked by him.

“What are you doing, Logan?” The coach warned him with an annoyed look, “Be quiet. We’re resting.”

Only then did Logan realize he had been overreacted. He smiled in embarrassment and said, “I’m sorry. It’s my bad.”

Then he held the phone and walked out of the basketball court. In a quiet corner, he said to Jared on the phone, “Did you mean Amber was your pen pal, Jared?”

Jared hummed to confirm it.

Logan scratched his head. “So, Makenna pretended to be Amber, did she?”

Jared hummed again.

Logan smashed his fist on the wall in anger. “Fuck! How shameless Makenna is! She’s the most disgusting woman I’ve ever seen. How could she pretend Amber? I wondered how she got to know you were Amber’s pen pal.”

“She’s Amber’s dormitory roommate in college. She read my letters to Amber. According to the information, she guessed my identity and pretended to be my pen pal,” said Jared with a stern look. His tone was full of disgust to Makenna.

“I see. She read Amber’s letters in secret… Wait! Letters?”

Upon hearing it, Logan raised his voice. He suddenly recalled something and gaped.

Three months ago, he had seen a lot of letters in Amber’s apartment. Those letters were yellowish, looking pretty old.

He wondered if those letters were from his brother…

Logan swallowed and gripped the phone tightly. He asked tentatively, “What were Amber’s and your nicknames, Jared?”

“Why do you want to know?” Jared frowned.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Logan stomped. “Gee, tell me first, Jared! I need to know it.”

Since he urged Jared, the latter pressed his thin lips and said two nicknames slowly, “Zack, Maple Leaf.”

“Hiss…” Logan raised his head and inhaled. “Zack! It’s really Zack!”

“What do you mean?” Jared squinted. “What did you know?”

Logan lowered his head and answered in a low voice, “Yes. Three months ago, Amber bailed me out of the police station after I had a fight. Then I followed her to her apartment and saw a lot of letters there. I picked one up at random and read it. It was a letter written by Zack. I also took it back home, and you read it, Jared.”

Jared recalled. One night three months ago, he saw a letter in Logan’s room.

The letter looked precisely the same as he used to send to Maple Leaf. Jared had a hunch at that time and picked it up. However, before he read it, Logan grabbed it back.

It turned out that letter was really from her to Maple Leaf.

Logan realized that he had made a mistake. Jared could have recognized Amber earlier, but his mistake delayed it. Logan felt so guilty.

“Jared, I’m…”

“Why didn’t you let me read the letter at that time?” Jared asked him coldly while pinching his phone.

Logan shrank his neck. “I… I took the letter back from Amber’s apartment to show you, actually. I wanted to tell you Amber was in love with his pen pal. Later, I didn’t think Amber was as hateful as I had imagined, and I was afraid to make you angry about Amber after telling you. Hence…”

He didn’t finish his words.

Jared knew what he meant, however.

He pinched the phone tightly to suppress something. A few seconds later, he hung up the phone directly, covered his eyes, his whole body exuding depressing air.
