Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 524-2

Chapter 521

"Jade, did you want to see me?"

The night had already been overwhelming just as Mila finally figured out how to handle Lysander, trouble flared up with the kids.

Her mind was still a tangled mess when she was summoned to Jade's study.

She'd originally wanted to keep things from Jade, worried the news might upset her. But the moment she saw the butler's laptop screen, she fell silent. "Jade, you know everything."

"Yes." Jade's face was unreadable. "If I hadn't called you here, were you planning to keep this from me?"

Mila said nothing.

"I'm not as fragile as you think." Jade's tone was cool. "Now, what are you going to do about it?"

Mila didn't answer right away.

She pulled the laptop closer, scrolling through the files. What Jade had was far more detailed—and brutally clear-compared to what Leonard had mentioned.

She herself had just learned the truth today.

Somehow, Julian Pembroke and Adrian had ended up not only at the same school, but in the same class. Mila couldn't make sense of it.

Didn't Sophia hate her? Wasn't there deep resentment between them?

Why would she send her own child to Adrian's class, knowing full well the boys didn't get along? Mila thought back to the incident at the restaurant. With these two in the same classroom, the odds of something going wrong were almost a guarantee.

Then she saw the photos in the file.
