Chapter 31

"It's the weekend tomorrow. Let's get the divorce settled on Monday!" Tae continued.

Faced with his (Tae) fervent impatience, Jungkook nonchalantly pulled out a cigarette and lit it.

Taehyung furrowed his brows. He could not figure out what he was thinking.

Could it be that he did not want to go through with the divorce?

Otherwise, he would not be so indifferent.

Tae took a deep breath and said, "Can you really handle being cheated on? I wouldn't want to see me for the rest of my life if I were you. You have to divorce me! You'd be an idiot not to!"

Jungkook coolly exhaled a smoke ring as he followed him with his dark eyes, watching his performance.

"Have you met with Joey? That must have p*ssed you off, right? That's good because it was all my idea! I did it just to mess with you!"

Tae was adding fuel to the fire.

Mrs. Min was in a corner. Her heart was pounding as she listened in.

Why was Tae digging his own grave? Was he having a mental breakdown because of the abortion?

If he continued aggravating him, Jungkook might just send him to his death.

At that thought, Mrs. Min could no longer stand aside. She walked over and said, "Sir Taehyung doesn't mean any of this, Master Jungkook... He must still be upset, so he's lashing out now... He's been sitting around at home ever since the wedding, so I can guarantee that he's never done anything dishonorable with Mr. Nic."

"Go and rest, Mrs. Min!" Tae said as his cheeks flushed from anxiety. "This is between him and me, so I'll deal with it myself. You don't have to worry about me."

"Stop trying to provoke Master Jungkook, then!" Mrs. Min exclaimed. "Nothing good can come from it. Listen to me and apologize to him, Sir. He might just forgive you."

"I don't need his forgiveness," Tae replied. "I just want a divorce."

Jungkook's sharp, hawk-like eyes were fixed on Tae's slender back.

Was he playing hard to get, or did he really want a divorce?

Judging from what he had seen and heard, it seemed that the latter was more likely.

Now that his plan with Mic had been exposed, and the child had been aborted, they had no way of further exploiting him. So, he(Tae) could not wait to divorce him, so that he might run back into Nic's arms.

"Forget it!" Jungkook snapped coldly as he put out his cigarette on the ashtray on the table. "Unless I'm dead, you can forget about getting a divorce."

"What? Why?"

Tae felt like he was just hit by an invisible force.

"Since it's agonizing for you to remain by my side, I'll continue keeping you in this agony," said Jungkook out of pure spite.

In an instant, Tae felt as if he had fallen into an icy abyss.

What now?

He was throwing him a curveball!

What did he have to do to get away from him?

He stormed off to his room; his mind in a frenzy.

Jungkook's phone rang just as Tae arrived at his room.

It was Jung-su.

"Hey, Jungkook. Joey is a complete mess. She's wandering the streets and refusing to go home. She won't listen to me."

Jung-su was out of ideas and had no choice but to call Jungkook.

"Call her brother."

"Okay... Did you get home alright? Is Taehyung there? Did you ask him if this whole thing with Joey was his idea?"

Jung-su could not bear to see Joey like this.

"How is it anyone else's fault that Joey did that? Would she just do anything Taehyung tells her to? What if he told her to jump off a bridge? Would she do it, then?" Jungkook sneered. "Don't be an idiot, jung-su."

Jung-su had nothing to say about Jungkook's unwarranted rebuke, but he did have an opinion about Tae's behavior.

"I think you're going too easy on Taehyung. It's not like you at all. He cheated on you, and you're just letting him go after making him abort the baby? I was sure you would feed him to the sharks."

"Do you think that the abortion was easy for him?"

"Huh?"

"He despises me right now. Seeing his helplessness and inability to act on that hate is a more gratifying form of revenge than letting him die."

"I see... You're not planning on getting a divorce, then? Don't you think keeping him around could be dangerous? What if he decides to get rid of you?" Jung-su asked with a hint of concern in his voice.

"If he manages to kill me..." Jungkook said as he crushed the cigarette between his fingers into the ashtray. "I'll gladly admit defeat."
