Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 659

For all these years, Alex had once felt fortunate that he was happier and more fulfilled than Adam though he couldn't compare to the latter in many ways.

Yet, even this one thing turned out to be a lie. His marriage had always been a joke, and his wife was the one who'd turned him into a joke.

Other than feeling reluctant to part with Linda, Alex wasn't willing to divorce her as he refused to resign to fate. Linda had turned him into a laughingstock in front of Adam, and he wouldn't want to let her off that easily.

Linda felt a hint of guilt seeing Alex struggle. Though the latter wasn't as capable as Adam, he'd been a competent husband over the years.

Seeking sympathy from Adam was impossible in this current situation. He was just too ruthless.

Rather than plead with him, Linda figured it was better to place her hopes on Alex. She quickly organized her emotions and cautiously moved closer to Alex on the couch.

She looked up with pitiful eyes and vulnerably begged, "Alex, I don't want a divorce. Please don't divorce me."

"I admit I had feelings for Adam when I was young, but I've always remembered that I'm your wife. Think about it; have I ever done anything out of the line? I've never even talked much with Adam.

"The feelings disappeared after I married you. We've been together for years, so how could I covet Adam? I invited him over because I had something to discuss. What happened earlier must have been a set-up."

Linda maintained her appearance well and looked more like a woman in her 30s though she was in her 40s. Even with her hair disheveled, her plea carried a trace of pitiful beauty.

She knew that Alex was more easily swayed by soft words than harsh ones, so she didn't deny her feelings and decided to add authenticity to her words.

She decided to make it clear that even if she had feelings for Adam, that was from her youthful ignorance.

Now that nothing had happened, it was more likely someone had schemed against them on purpose. Getting a divorce would only serve the purpose of those behind the scenes.

Indeed, the gloomy look on Alex's face softened a little at the mention of a set-up. Deep down, he refused to believe that Linda would have the guts to scheme against Adam.
