Dear Ex-wife Marry Me

Beck had never encountered such a shameless woman before. In an instant, he wanted nothing to do with her and just slammed the door shut in her face.

The very next day, Stella was politely asked to leave. The servants relayed Beck's message, hoping she would never come back.

For the following week, Stella didn't catch a glimpse of Beck.

However, there was news from Morgan. He had blown through his cash and was now being hounded by Jason's goons for debts. In a bold move, he even struck one of Jason's debt collectors.

Naturally, Jason couldn't let this slide. Morgan was now in his clutches, and no one knew what he was going through.

Stella was just sitting in Boris's mansion, waiting for news.

In the evening, when Boris returned for dinner, their meal had barely started when Boris received a threatening call from Jason. He claimed Boris's son owed a whopping $5 million and demanded payment for his release.noveldrama

Boris knew all too well who Jason was a ruthless loan shark whose business spanned across the city.

The elite of North America sought their fortunes in clandestine casinos, where fortunes were made and lost in a night.

These casinos lent money but had strict entry requirements.

Jason, on the other hand, had no such requirements, but not repaying him could result in broken limbs or worse, putting your entire family in danger.

After all, Jason's enforcers were merciless, and a human life was worth merely $10,000 to them. Successfully collecting a debt could net them millions.

Furious, Boris clenched his phone, "Where's Morgan?"

Morgan's voice came through, pleading, "Dad, please save me. They're going to break my arms, my legs. Please, bring the money."

For the first time, Boris realized how disappointing his son was.

He nearly threw his phone on the floor, but Morgan's wailing continued.

"Five million? Where's the exchange happening?" Boris asked, after which he hung up.

Then, he turned to Stella, who was quietly sitting across him, serving soup as if she hadn't heard his conversation.

Boris had never felt the weight of being a father until now, a sense of guilt rising within him.

"Your brother's messed up. He needs $5 million. But I have to leave North America tonight for a critical five-year deal. This meeting is crucial. So, can you handle freeing your brother? Take enough people with you. Don't put yourself in danger. They only want the money."

Stella raised an eyebrow. She was to rescue Morgan?

She wished Morgan would just disappear.

"Stella?" Boris called again.

She looked up and smiled. "Of course, Dad."

After a quiet dinner, Boris handed her a card containing $200,000.

"You must've spent the last of your allowance. Here's some more. Don't let yourself be short-changed in this house."

Stella took the card, nodding in agreement.

Boris was in a hurry. He had invested a lot in this project and not attending the meeting could mean losing everything.

Augus had intended to transfer a 1% share to Stella, but Beck had intervened, delaying the process.

Boris considered investing those shares elsewhere, but that had to wait until the transfer was finalized.

He left shortly after, repeatedly reminding Stella to ensure Morgan's safety.

Soon, Stella was alone in the mansion. She called Dave.

"Stella, what's your plan?"

Ignoring Morgan could bring the wrath of the Sanders family down on her. "Dave, can you arrange for someone to 'kidnap' me? Keep me hidden for a week."

If she was also 'kidnapped,' rescuing Morgan wouldn't be her responsibility.

Dave quickly arranged it, and Stella was taken away while running errands.

She was brought to Dave's new house, where she could relax, intentionally leaving her phone behind so no one could trace her.

However, she underestimated

Boris's concern for Morgan. Despite leaving North America, Boris called

several times to check on the rescue

progress.

With no response from Stella, Boris reluctantly reached out to Beck, asking him to check on Stella and Morgan.

Beck had no interest in Stella's whereabouts but upon learning she had been missing for days and Morgan was in Jason's hands, he drove to Boris's mansion.

The servants reported Stella missing for three days.

Finding her phone off, Boris called again, revealing Morgan had a broken leg.

"Beck, for the sake of our family relations, I'll transfer you $5 million soon. Can you please rescue Morgan?"

Beck had little love for the foolish Morgan, but the situation's severity pushed him to agree, also arranging a search for Stella.

Morgan, held in Jason's stronghold, was beaten and untreated for his broken leg.

He had hoped for Boris's swift rescue, but after three days of silence, despair and regret consumed him.

Jason, a towering figure with a scar from his chin to his neck,

commanded presence. Seeingel.ne

Morgan's continued wails, he ordered the punishment to proceed.

Morgan begged for mercy until he passed out.

Jason set his glass down, "Splash him with salt water. Wake him up."

Just then, someone came in with a message.

"Jason, someone's come to bail Morgan out."
