The Ex-Wife Strikes Back By Queena Laurie
Chapter 73

Chapter 73 

Aurelia felt speechless for a moment. She waited for two seconds before asking, “Do you know anyone in Regency Club?” 

“Hmm? What’s wrong?” 

Jacob, who had a playful tone just a moment ago, suddenly became serious upon hearing Aurelia’s tone about Regency 

Club. 

“It’s not a big deal. It’s just that the vice president of my company was warmly detained by someone!” 

Since Aurelia didn’t know who the other party was, she could only speak vaguely like this. 

Nevertheless, Jacob didn’t hesitate at all and asked directly. “Where are you now? I’m on my way to Regency! Got it. You go first. When you get there, give me a call and tell me which floor!” 

Upon hearing this, Aurelia understood that Jacob wanted to come in person to support her. 

She frowned slightly and hesitated. Jacob, maybe the situation isn’t as complicated as I imagined. I think you don’t have to come over. Just introduce me to someone familiar in Regency!” 

Aurelia thought, “The state governor’s son is like a musket. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I won’t use a musket to kill a butterfly. If the other party turns out to be insignificant, it will be making a mountain out of a molehill, as if I value that small fry too much.” 

So the original intention of Aurelia’s call was to ask Jacob to arrange a person who can call the shots for hier in Regency to accompany her, without implying that he should personally intervene. 

However, on Jacob’s side, he had many more thoughts than Aurelia. 

Not to mention that this was the first thing Aurelia asked for help after becoming his woman. 

Even though it was Xandenia’s territory, he couldn’t allow anyone to trouble his woman. 

If Aurelia went there and gained the upper hand, it would be fine. But if she was stepped on, even if Jacob personally helped her regain her dignity, it would still be perceived as if she was bullied. If word got out, Jacob would lose face completely. 

Moreover, Regency was also one of his strongholds. He was familiar with the sons of the scions in the state, and there should be no one causing trouble in Regency. 

Besides. Aurelia’s company was not that big. 

It was unnecessary for someone to trouble her vice president. 

But since Aurelia mentioned her vice president being detained and the tone seemed to indicate that the other party had some background, Jacob concluded that it must be an outsider. 

This made Jacob even more worried, and he decided to make a trip. 

Coincidentally, Jacob also remembered that a few days ago, Marco told him that a few nouveau riches‘ sons from Druobridge had arrived in Xandenia 

Jacob sent someone to investigate and found that indeed two of them had considerable backgrounds, but they themselves were not outstanding and not considered the core people in the government. 

They were just reselling some official documents, handling formalities for others, and swindling to make a few bucks. One of them even had some distant relative connection with Hayden’s family. 

Considering this, Jacob didn’t send anyone to warn them to behave. He thought that as long as they stayed low–key and didn’t cause major trouble in Nuthana, he would leave them alone. 

But now, it seemed that those people might have detained Aurelia’s subordinate. 

Among the entire scions in Tospait, only those spoiled brats who came from Druobridge were so arrogant and thought they could behave recklessly on someone else’s turf 

After making a phone call to the person–in–charge of Regency, who was responsible on the surface, Jacob informed them that his car would arrive shortly and asked them to take care of the people in the car. 

Then, he called Marco and had another car prepared to head to Regency, 

The fundamental reason why Regency Club had such a prestigious reputation in Nuthana was that it was jointly established by the sons and darling daughters of several deputy speakers of Nuthana. 

Every one of them was a shareholder, but those shares were all registered under someone else’s name. 

Therefore, Regency Club was also a gathering place for the scions. Since its opening, there hadn’t been any major trouble, not to mention minor disputes. 

Jacob wondered who the guy who had nothing better to do and caused trouble was. 

Chapter 73 

To obtain the lowest level membership card of the Regency Club, many wealthy businessmen with assets worth tens of millions would line up and try to establish connections to become members. 

If they came to Nuthana to work on projects or conduct business, it was considered an honor to be able to negotiate at Regency Club. 

Perhaps they could get lucky and meet a scion or a prestigious woman. Negotiating at Regency Club provided opportunities to create more business chances for themselves. In addition, they had the chance to improve their social status. 

Therefore, the person in charge of the Regency Club, who was responsible on the surface, had a good life with money and no troubles. 

How wonderful that person was by just taking money and having no trouble. 

“But today is not a good day. Mr. Miller actually called and asked me to wait at the entrance for his car. It seems that there is an important person in the car. Moreover, Mr. Miller’s tone didn’t sound good. Could it be that someone in Regency had offended Mr. Miller?” the person–in–charge thought. 

Once this assumption was made, he took a deep breath and thought to himself, “Damn it! Who is that guy? So ignorant. Does he know what kind of place is this? This is Regency! He must be tired of living and shouldn’t drag others down with 

him!” 

He immediately picked up the phone and dialed the security office. “Quick! Find out who the troublemakers in the club are right now! Report to me as soon as you find out!” 

“Troublemaker” was their code name for some hot–headed and trouble–prone young scions. 

After all, the experienced and more powerful scions at the level of a councilman were the owners here and wouldn’t offend Jacob. 

Unless it was the sons and nephews of some lower–level officials, their circle of contact was limited, and it was possible that they accidentally stepped on a landmine without realizing it. 

Regardless, before Jacob arrived, it would be best if the person–in–charge could find the culprits first.  Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

If he couldn’t find them, he could only wait for Jacob to come and deal with it personally, 

After giving these instructions, the person–in–charge didn’t dare to delay even for a moment. He hurried to the elevator, fearing that he would be late to greet Jacob’s car. 

Twenty minutes passed since the phone call where Aurelia said she was coming, but she hadn’t arrived yet, and Charles didn’t show any signs of worry. 

On the other hand, the people from the other side started to smirk with an “I knew it all along” expression. 

Declan, Charles‘ classmate, even hypocritically showed a seemingly concerned expression. 

“Charles, should you call Ms. Swanson again? Maybe she’s not familiar with the roads here in Nuthana or got stuck in traffic, so it’s delayed until now. Should we send someone to pick her up instead? Anyway, the possibility of Mr. Yeager’s car being stuck in the traffic is zero. After all, that car owns a license plate from the Marine Corps. We’ve been classmates for many years, and as long as you’re willing. I’ll take the liberty to ask for a favor from Mr. Yeager!” 

“Okay. Since Declan spoke up, I will definitely give face. Mr. Shawn, why don’t you call your CEO and ask her where she is? Is she really stuck halfway?” 

The long–haired youth, with a seemingly casual and absent–minded nod, appeared to genuinely want to help Charles pick up Aurelia. 

But both inside and outside, he was putting on a show of dominance, and the message was clear through his expressions. 

Anyone would know without looking that the other party simply wanted to embarrass Charles and put him on the spot. 

The long–haired youth thought, “Who told you not to know your place and made yourself lose face?” 

Charles also knew it, and his face became even uglier. 

Whether he made the call or not, it was a difficult situation. 

They were blatantly trying to strip Charles of his dignity, making it impossible for him to hold his head high in this industry, or even in front of Declan. 

“What’s the matter? Mr. Shawn, are you feeling troubled? Is it because your phone ran out of credit? Do you want to use mine to make the call?” 

Brandon, the long–haired youth called Mr. Yeager, seemed to have no understanding of what it meant to be forgiving whenever possible and leave room for others. 

He directly dialed the phone number for Charles and asked the latter to hurry up and urge Aurelia. 

It was quite rare to see someone who was so vindictive and petty. 

Chapter 73 

Even Charles, who felt that he couldn’t afford to offend the other party, was filled with anger at this moment, feeling as if the flames were rising to the top of his head. 

Even if it meant giving up his future in this industry, Charles couldn’t let them see him humiliated. 

Immediately, Charles stood up abruptly, as if he was about to leave. 

Seeing Charles stand up like that, Declan was surprised and stood up as well. 

But Hayden remained seated, without moving at all. His already gloomy face became even darker, clearly showing his 

anger. 

This brat wasn’t a broad–minded person, and he was highly unpopular in big cities. 

If it weren’t for the shelter and protection of his family, with his temperament, if he were born into an ordinary family, he probably wouldn’t have survived to this age. He would have been beaten to death a hundred times over. 

Just as the situation was about to reach a critical point, Charles‘ phone suddenly rang. 

It immediately eased the invisible confrontation and oppressive atmosphere. 

Declan quickly smiled and defused the situation. “Charles, I guess your new CEO has arrived. Why don’t you answer the call quickly?” 

At this moment, Charles‘ back was also covered in cold sweat. When he stood up in a fit of rage earlier, he had made up his mind to go all out and not care about anything. 

But now, with the strong surge of indignation diluted by the ringing of the phone, the courage that had been present before could no longer be sustained. 

After all, Charles was just an ordinary commoner with a family and responsibilities compared to a scion. 

It was unsure whether it would bring him disaster if he offended a real big shot, but if he offended this narrow–minded person in front of him, his life would be difficult from now on. 

And this phone call, at this moment, undoubtedly saved him. 

Forcing his trembling hand under control, Charles took out his phone and saw that it was Aurelia calling. He couldn’t help but feel a slight sense of relief. 

He pressed the answer button and respectfully addressed her, “Ms. Swanson!” 

“I’ve arrived! Just arrived at the entrance of Regency. Which floor are you on?”
