Chapter 76
“Don’t be so agitated.” Kim forcefully pulled his hand away, finding Jaydon’s anger somewhat amusing.
Jaydon angrily threw a punch, but Kim gracefully dodged it. “Mr Lewis, your farewell methods are quite unkind, aren’t they?”

“Cut the crap. Do you know where Alita is? Are you planning to meet her? You came to the Lewis family for this purpose, right? Now that your objective is achieved, and you want to leave so easily? It’s not going to be that simple.” Jaydon was furious at the thought of them being together.
“Jaydon, no matter how angry you are now, it’s useless because Alita is no longer your wife. From now on, you have no right to interfere in her life. Even if I’m meeting her, what can you do? Kim smiled smugly. This day had been a long time coming.
For 14 years, whenever he saw reports about himself in newspapers or on the news, he wished he could tear them apart.
Annabel, though not very smart, understood their conversation. She rushed over and grabbed Kim’s arm, saying, “Is it because of Alita that you’re leaving? What does she have that’s better? What makes her compare to me? Why would you choose her over me?”
Kim looked at Annabel with solemn eyes and a faint smile. “Perhaps you are better in many ways, but the person I love is her, and that’s enough for me.”
“You love her?” Annabel couldn’t believe what she heard. “How long have you known each other? Saying love is absurd.”
“We’ve known each other for 15 years!” Kim said with the lightest tone, but it carried an emotional weight.
“What… what?” Annabel was dumbfounded and speechless.
Kim had no mood to deal with the siblings. He walked straight out.
Jaydon, with a displeased expression, forcefully grabbed him again. “Speak, where is she?”
Kim retorted, “No comment!”
“Humph.” Jaydon showed a ruthless smirk. “If you don’t speak, don’t even think about leaving the Lewis
family’s residence.”
Kim lowered his head, chuckled coldly, and slowly raised his face. He sighed sympathetically. “Oh, Jaydon, even if you tie me up, trap me, what difference would it make? The relationship between you and Alita has ended. Even if you are unwilling, it’s useless.”
“Who told you our relationship has ended? We haven’t signed the divorce agreement yet. She is still my wife.” Jaydon refused to acknowledge the notion of it ending. He didn’t want to admit it, nor did he want to face the fact of losing Alita.
Kim said, “The way you are now is pitiful.”
“Are you going to tell me or not?” Jaydon roared.
Kim had no time to deal with Jaydon’s temper. He sighed. “Honestly, I don’t know where she is, but I’ll find her.”
Jaydon squinted his sharp eyes. “You really don’t know? Stop playing games. Take out your phone.” He was convinced that they must have communicated using their phones.
“Don’t believe me? Fine, I’ll show you” Kim took out his phone from his pocket, unlocked it, and handed it over to Jaydon.

Chapter 76
Seeing Kim being so candid Jaydon wondered if they truly hadn’t contacted each other. He took the phone and checked the call records and messages but found no trace of Alita’s number.
“Do you believe me now?” Kim snatched his phone from Jaydon’s hands and put it back in his pocket.
How is this possible? How could it be?” Jaydon released Kim, muttering to himself. Kim had been the man in Alita’s heart for a long time. It was only logical for him to be the first one she called. How could they not have contacted each other?
Kim straightened his clothes, walked steadily, and left the room.
Upstairs, he ran into Samuel, who had just returned from outside
“Kim, what’s this about?” Samuel looked at the luggage in Kim’s hands. He could already guess, but he maintained a puzzled expression.
“I’ve terminated the engagement with Annabel. I’ll hold a press conference tomorrow to announce this. I’m leaving,” Kim replied indifferently. Kim felt that Samuel was not an ordinary person as he seemed too emotionless.
Samuel showed an understanding expression. “Oh, I see. Annabel must be very upset. I should have scolded you a bit. But since you’ve made your decision, saying more won’t help. Goodbye!”
“Goodbye,” Kim replied with a faint smile and brushed past Samuel.
“Kim, don’t go. Just as Kim left, Annabel’s cries were heard. She couldn’t bear to see Kim go and rushed down the stairs. Fearing she might do something foolish, Jaydon followed her downstairs.
Samuel happened to be at the doorway. Despite feeling annoyed, he blocked her way. “Annabel, stop crying. He’s already gone.”
“Samuel, Kim doesn’t want me anymore. He… he’s going to find Alita. How could he treat me like this? How could he?” Annabel cried heartbreakingly.
On the staircase, Scott, Kyla, and others were coming down. They had been awakened by the commotion early in the morning.
“Stop crying, Annabel. You’re so beautiful, and you’ll meet an even better man in the future. We don’t need heartless jerks like him. And you look ugly when you cry, Samuel comforted her gently.
Jaydon looked at Samuel, thinking that Samuel and Alita seemed to have the closest relationship among the Lewis family members. Unable to hold back, he asked, “Samuel, has Alita contacted you?”
“When she left, I made a farewell call to her, but we haven’t been in touch since then, Samuel replied naturally, leaving no room for suspicion.
“Oh, I see.” Jaydon sighed and walked back into the house, shoulders slumped.
Samuel’s eyes flickered with a glint of insight as he supported Annabel into the house.
On that day, Alita traveled out of the small town, took buses multiple times, and arrived at a remote village. There, she rented a room where she could push open the window and see a vast orchard. The fragrance of the fruit wafted through the air, creating a refreshing and pleasant atmosphere.
She planned to stay here for a while, sorting out her emotions and contemplating what she would do in the future. Once the divorce agreement was signed, she could start anew.
For the first time in 14 years, Alita experienced a free life without any constraints.

Chapter 76
Recalling the early morning phone call, she still felt lingering fear. Therefore, she hesitated to turn on her phone. Jaydon was undoubtedly unwilling to let her enjoy such freedom and would likely cause trouble for her.
After staying in the countryside for two more days, Alita finally decided to turn on her phone, anticipating a call from Otis,
Upon activation, she found several missed calls from Jaydon. Fortunately, she was quick-witted, knowing his personality wouldn’t allow him to let her go. She immediately went into hiding. If he were to find her, it would undoubtedly lead to another chaotic entanglement.
She hoped that with time, Jaydon would forget his anger towards her, and she, in turn, would forget everything about him.
Outside the window, rain began to fall, gently tapping on the glass and echoing the melancholy in her heart.
Meanwhile, at Everlink Law Firm,
In Otis’s office, Jaydon had been arriving punctually every day for the past two days.
“Mr. Lewis, it’s not very productive for you to stay here. I tried calling her yesterday and the day before, but her phone is always off. Sending the divorce agreement is now impossible. Olis said, looking at Jaydon in distress, Jaydon’s presence had disrupted the normal functioning of the office for several days.
“Did you try today? Maybe she turned on her phone.” Jaydon placed all his hopes on this, as this was the only place Alita would likely contact. Moreover, he needed her address to send the divorce agreement.
“I haven’t tried today. I’ll give it a shot. Otis didn’t dare to offend this powerful figure and reluctantly took out his phone, dialing Alita’s number. To his surprise, the call went through this time.
Seeing Otis’s astonished expression, Jaydon ecstatically asked. “Is it connected?”
“Yes. Otis nodded, and someone had already answered the call.
Alita had just returned from picking fresh cherries outside. Hearing the phone ringing by her pillow, she guessed it was probably a call from Otis.
“Hello, is this Mr. Praut? This is Alita. Has the divorce agreement been drafted?” Alita inquired.
Sweating profusely and glancing at Jaydon, Otis replied, “Yes, it’s ready. Just give me your address, and I’ll send it to you.”
“Alright, I’ll give you the address. Write it down, Alita responded
Otis hurriedly said, “Wait a minute, I’m looking for paper.”
“No problem, take your time finding it,” Alita said politely, using the back of her hand to wipe off the sweat from her forehead.
Jaydon was filled with excitement. He thought, ‘Stubborn girl, let’s see where you can run
Otis took a pen and searched the table for a piece of paper but couldn’t find one immediately. In a hurry, Jaydon extended his hand and, through eye contact and subtle lip movements, indicated for Otis to write on his hand.
Clearing his throat, Otis took the pen and tremblingly placed it in Jaydon’s hand. “Mrs. Lewis, I found some paper. Please go
ahead.”
“Alright.” Alita provided the address of the village. She added, “This place is quite remote, so please have the delivery person call me when they arrive. Also, I’m no longer Mrs. Lewis.”

“Yes, yes, my apologies. You see, I get nervous and end up making mistakes, Otis said, glancing at Jaydon with considerable
pressure.
“Mr. Pratt, you sure love to joke. By the way, if Jaydon asks about my whereabouts, please don’t tell him. I don’t want to see him again,” Alita added. She had thought about it but didn’t expect Jaydon to be one step ahead.
Hearing her words, Jaydon’s heart sank, and his handsome face turned sour.
Otis felt like crying but was compelled by Jaydon’s influence. He could only say, “Alright, don’t worry. I won’t tell him. Goodbye!”
After hanging up the phone, Jaydon’s expression turned grim. Ons felt uneasy and said, “Mr. Lewis, you know the address now. Go find her quickly. I’ve become a person who breaks promises because of you.”
“It doesn’t matter. When the time comes, blame any faults on me. Say I threatened you with a knife, Jaydon said. expressionlessly and immediately walked out.
