The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 5
“I’m sorry, Miss Manson. According to the marriage law, there’s a one-month cooling-off period when
filing for a divorce. Besides, your husband doesn’t have his ID card, so we can’t process your divorce
right away…” A female staff member returned all the documents politely to Marilyn.“Screw this! Why is
there a cooling-off period before I can get a divorce?! Call your manager. I want him to proceed with it
right away!”Brody slapped the table angrily.“Sir, I’m just following the rules…”The female staff was
unhappy but she still maintained her politeness.“Don’t give me that crap! I told you to call your
manager! Are you deaf?” Brody shouted harshly.He caused such a huge ruckus that everyone was
either giving him the side-eye or peering at him with a weird expression.It was the first time an incident
like that happened there.At that moment, the senior officials within the Civil Records Office were also
alarmed, and a middle-aged man with a slightly fat body trotted over in a rush.“It’s you, Brody… Please
calm down. Amber here isn’t aware of who you are. She didn’t mean to… please forgive me…”The
middle-aged man smiled apologetically before turning around and scolding the female staff. “Do you
know who this is, Amber? He’s the boss of Sullivan Enterprises. You should apologize right
away!”“Sullivan Enterprises?”The people around were taken aback.Sullivan Enterprises is a well-known
upstart in Springfield City. Its total assets reached as high as half a billion and it had an insane amount
of wealth. He was the kind of person that no one should offend.“I’m sorry, Mister Sullivan. I was
mistaken. Please forgive me…”Amber was so frightened that she quickly got up and bowed to Brody in
apology.Brody was satisfied with this, and at the same time, he enjoyed the awe-inspiring gazes cast
by the people around him.“Mister Loewe, please expedite the divorce for my woman. And while you’re
at it, register our marriage too!”“Yes, I’ll do it right now.”The middle-aged man smiled and processed
both the divorce between Leon and Marilyn as well as the marriage between Marilyn and Brody.“You’re
amazing, darling! I love that side of you!” Marilyn snuggled in Brody’s arms like a kitten and said
coquettishly.Brody’s power and influence brought pride to Marilyn and Helen.“Who is she? How did she
get to know Sullivan Enterprises’ eldest young master?”“She is one lucky woman!”…The people
around her could not help but cast envious glances at Marilyn, with some of the young women showingnovelbin
a rather noticeable look of jealousy.Marilyn basked in the limelight as she giggled and smiled. She
became as pretentious as could be!Meanwhile, everyone immediately felt that Leon’s position in the
relationship was usurped. Everyone stared at him strangely, with some feeling pity toward him while
others showed contempt.Leon felt more and more humiliated as a result, and he wishes he could just
dig a hole and burrow into it!After getting the divorce certificate, the sour-faced Leon was about to
leave when Brody stopped him.“Leaving so soon? I won’t let you off so easy!”Brody smiled
coldly.Leon’s face sank. “What are you planning on doing to me?”“What do you think? You wasted so
much of my woman’s time this morning, and you were adamantly refusing to go ahead with the divorce
on the pretext that you lost your ID card! Do you think I’ll just let all that slide?” Brody sneered.“I’ve
made myself very clear, didn’t I? I never refused to divorce her and my ID card is missing…” Leon
suppressed his anger.“Don’t give me that crap! Do you think I’m that easy to fool?”Brody smiled
contemptuously and turned around to order his two bodyguards, “Hit him. Teach this idiot a lesson!
Show him what’s in store for him if he tries to trick me!”“Understood!”The two bodyguards smiled grimly
as raised their fists to punch Leon.The two bodyguards frequently did combat training and Leon was
immediately thrown to the ground. Leon could only curl his head into a ball with his hands and suffer
the barrage of blows from the bodyguards’ fists and feet.“How miserable for him!”“His wife was
snatched away and he’s being beaten up too!”“I’d much rather die if I was as useless as he is!”…
Everyone there began whispering among themselves while looking at Leon with even more sympathy
and contempt.They knew that it was probably just the beginning because of the influence that Sullivan
Enterprises would almost surely spell doom for Leon’s future!All of a sudden, a loud screech of braking
vehicles was heard.An extended, modified version of an intimidating Rolls-Royce, followed by two
black Mercedes-Benz, stopped right outside the Civil Records Office.The door of the Rolls-Royce
opened, and a beautiful, tall, and graceful 23- or 24-year-old woman stepped out of the car. There was
a certain air of elegance to her character.Behind that glamorous woman were six bodyguards.Each of
the bodyguards had a strong figure and sharp eyes. At a glance, one could immediately tell that they
were all top-notch combat trainees.“My God, it’s Iris!”“The woman who ranked first among the top four
beautiful women in Springfield City! It’s Iris, the Youngs’ eldest daughter!”…A few people recognized
who that beautiful woman was and could not help but exclaim out loud.Iris was not a public figure, and
not many people have seen her with their own eyes.However, her reputation preceded her, for she was
the Youngs’ jewel and one of the four widely-acclaimed damsels in Springfield City.As soon as
someone in the crowd revealed Iris’s identity, everyone immediately realized that this glamorous and
noble beauty in front of them was the goddess that many of Springfield City’s men yearned for.“They
say that Iris never had a boyfriend and has always been single. Why would she come to the Civil
Records Office today?”“Has she already gotten a boyfriend? Does she plan to get married?”…
Everyone had a curious look on their face, and as soon as there were whispers that Iris’s purpose there
was probably to collect her marriage certificate, all the men present seemed to feel heartbroken.At the
same time, the jealousy in every man’s heart was soaring out of control, for they all wondered who was
the lucky chap that Iris the goddess took a fancy to!Iris ignored everyone’s luminous gaze, walked into
the hall, and headed straight in Brody’s direction.Brody’s face was flushed, and his heart was pounding
with excitement.He was the eldest young master of Sullivan Enterprises and a well-known figure in the
business circle. It was only natural that he met Iris before.He was blown out of the water the first time
he saw Iris, and he subsequently enshrined her as the goddess in his dreams!However, the Youngs
were the most powerful family in Springfield City, with an influence that encompassed the military,
politics, and business.They were therefore much stronger than Sullivan Enterprises and were eons
ahead of the latter.Even though Brody’s heart yearned for Iris, he did not dare to pursue her.After all, he
was not qualified to do so!To his surprise, however, Iris took the initiative to walk over to him, which
excited him so much that he completely lost his cool!
