Dear Ex-wife Marry Me (Maja and Ian) novel Chapter 1734

Nathan hastily tugged at Listina's hand as soon as the words left her mouth.

"Listina, Felix is with Carol only because of you. Remember that jeweler who bought out your family's business? That's Carol's dad. The surgeons for your operation were all brought in by the Miller family's influence. Felix is just playing with her to save you. He loves you, and the over 100 thousand dollars for your surgery? That was Carol's money. She has no idea; Felix has been deceiving her all along. You're the one who truly matters to him. Now that your surgery's a success, he's bound to break up with Carol."

Tears had already been streaming down Listina's cheeks, but at these words, hope shone in her eyes as she gazed at Felix.

"Is it true? Felix, you're with her just to get me treatment?"

Before Felix could respond, Nathan interjected eagerly.

"Carol's been nothing but a pathetic pawn from the start. Her father was behind that accident years ago, and he took over your company. Felix isn't foolish enough to overlook that. Just the other week, he was telling me about his plan to swindle a share of the Miller family's stock, all to ensure a comfortable life for the two of you. What the Millers owe you, they can never repay."

Quickly wiping away her tears, Listina grabbed Felix's hand.

"Felix, I need to hear it from you. You and Carol, it's just a fling, right?"

Felix met her gaze and after a long moment, he uttered, "Yeah."

Joy exploded in Listina's eyes, and a triumphant smile curled her lips. That tramp was just a tool, a pawn being played! The thought was exhilarating.

She kissed Felix's hand apologetically.

"Sorry for lashing out earlier. Did you get hurt? I was just so angry; I’m sorry."

"It's okay."

She looked at Felix, unable to voice any objection, knowing all he had done was for her. If they could secure the Miller family's shares, they wouldn't have to work another day in their lives.

After a minute of hesitation, she clenched her fist, "Felix, I support you. Whatever you do, I'm behind you. But you have to promise me, the moment you get those shares, you'll break up with Carol. And I don't just mean break up; I want you to crush her, let her know she's been your plaything all this time, make her lose face so badly she'll never be able to hold her head up again!"

"Okay."

His answer was all Listina needed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the corners of her mouth turned up as she toyed with her bottle of perfume.

"So, the skincare products you gave her, they were just to keep her off the scent, right?"

"Yeah."
