TRASHED HUSBAND AND UNFAITHFUL WIFE, VOLUME 5 - Season 8 Episode 12

“Here, I’ve roasted a chicken drumstick for you. Try it?”

Shaun moved towards Lauren.

“Don’t come over! Shaun, you demon! I won’t believe you! My husband killed your wife. I am now in your hands. I accept my fate! My only request is that you don’t desecrate my corpse after you kill me. Please be humane!”

Tears welled up in Lauren’s eyes. Ever since Shaun revealed his identity, Lauren knew that she was doomed. After all, Jordan had just killed Shaun’s wife, and now, Shaun had kidnapped Jordan’s wife. How could Shaun let her off?

However, on the way from England to the US, Shaun was surprisingly polite and respectful to Lauren. He never had any intention of taking advantage of her.

Shaun shook his head helplessly and said, “This drumstick is delicious. I’ve been cooking this since I was 10 years old.”

He moved back to his seat and took a big bite. He ate with relish and asked,

“Why do you think I would harm you? Even if I… I want to take revenge for my wife and kill Jordan, I won’t implicate you. You’re so beautiful, fair and pure. I really can’t bear to kill you, hehe.”

Lauren squeezed her legs together and pulled her shirt tightly around herself.

“If you don’t want to kill me, why did you kidnap me?” Lauren asked.

Shaun chuckled. “Jordan is very important to me. My future depends on him, so I will never kill him. Do you know what kind of person your husband is? He’s a Deity. He has the ability to predict the future!”

Lauren believed that Shaun was spouting nonsense. “Nonsense, don’t talk to me about deities and spirits and whatever. I don’t believe in such things, nor am I… afraid of such things!”

The house was a little cold. It was not like her home in the capital where there was heating and air conditioning. Lauren was also a little afraid so she was trembling.

Shaun insisted. “I’m serious. Jordan really has the ability to predict the future! Is it that difficult to believe? Ms. Lauren, you know too little about the world. Even I can predict some things as I have some knowledge about divination! Moreover, this isn’t an ability that only modern people have. Since ancient times, there have been records of fortune-tellers across the world!”

Shaun seemed to want to make a good impression on Lauren. He kept praising himself.

Lauren asked, “If you can make predictions yourself, why do you still need to rely on my husband? There’s no need to take me hostage.”

Shaun smiled and shook his head. “That’s different. I’m just using divination. I read the signs to make an informed guess about the future. It is not always accurate. But your husband is different. He’s not an ordinary fortune-teller. He can actually see future events! This is fundamentally different!

“Especially when he sees future breakthroughs in technology. His ability can shorten the time needed for research and development. He can give scientists specific and accurate suggestions!”

Lauren continued to stare at Shaun seriously. She didn’t understand what he was saying.

Nevertheless, Shaun continued. “Hehe, actually, I want to ask your husband for a favor. As long as he can help me, I won’t hold my wife and mother’s death against him!”

Through the dim light, Lauren realized that the person sitting by the stove was not that scary. Looking at his dopey smile, Lauren felt that this person was just an ordinary country bumpkin.

Although he had lived a luxurious life in Switzerland for decades, he could not show his face in public and rarely interacted with others. As a result, Shaun’s temperament had not changed much.

Lauren felt that Shaun wasn’t that scary anymore. She said gently, “Actually, my husband didn’t mean to kill your family. It would be best if you could turn the hostility between you two into friendship. By the way, Mr. Handley, what do you want my husband to do for you?”

Shaun smiled again. “Mind-transplant.”

“What?”

Lauren was so frightened that her face turned pale. A second ago, she thought that this person was a little simple-minded and relatively harmless. Now, she suddenly felt that he was a demon!

He actually wanted to remove someone’s mind!

This was too perverse!

Shaun smiled. “In this world, only Jordan can help me get a breakthrough in mind-transplant technology. I will need his help in the future, so don’t worry, I will never harm you. I know that Jordan loves his wives. If I hurt you, he will definitely not be willing to help me.”

Lauren nodded. She finally believed that Shaun was telling the truth.

Just like that, the two of them were silent for more than 10 minutes.

After Shaun finished the delicious drumstick, Lauren suddenly said, “Um…”

Shaun immediately turned around happily. “Haha, you’re hungry, right? How can you not be hungry after not eating for more than 10 hours? I’ll make you another drumstick!”

“Uh, no,” Lauren replied, “Um, I wanted to ask if it’s true that you can control other people’s bodies?”

Shaun was taken aback. He did not expect Lauren to suddenly ask this question.

“Yes, it’s true. Jordan should have told you. Why?” Shaun asked.

Lauren asked, “Well… can I learn?”

Shaun’s eyes widened as he looked at the pure and lovely Lauren. He never expected that this top-notch rich beauty would want to learn such despicable sorcery!

…

Half a month later, on Gaathafushi in the Maldives.

This was one of the best islands in the Maldives. It was located in the middle of the Alifu Alifu Atoll and surrounded by green-blue waters, which made the island look like an embedded pearl.

This island had already been completely taken over by the Steele family.

In the warm and comfortable room, Jordan lay on the bed. The warm sunlight shone through the window onto his face. The sound of waves crashing against the reefs could be heard.

The environment here was perfect, romantic, and relaxing.

A woman sat beside Jordan’s bed. She was wearing a short dress that revealed her lovely shoulders. Her long hair was shoulder-length and dyed pink. From the back, she looked like a fairy.

It was Jordan’s ex-wife, Hailey.

Suddenly, Jordan slowly opened his eyes.

“Ah, Jordan, you’re finally awake!”

Hailey put down her phone. She was so happy that she nearly jumped up in joy.

Jordan felt very tired. The first person he saw when he opened his eyes was Hailey, who had changed her hair color and hairstyle. He felt as if a lifetime had passed.

Although he hated Hailey, her new hairstyle and color suited her well. She was stunning. Jordan was momentarily taken aback.

Lauren and Hailey were both top-grade beauties, but Lauren was from an upper-class family in the capital. So she was more conservative. She wasn’t as vain or ostentatious as Hailey, so she wouldn’t beautify herself to such an extent.

“Hailey? Where is this place? Where are Lauren and Victoria?”
