In the Gu's mansion, Jonas's eyes were fixed on the two agreements on the table. His jaw tightened when his gaze fell on the words "leave with nothing".
He closed his eyes and massaged his temples. Jonas believed that Melinda had married him just for the money. But he couldn't understand why she wanted to divorce him now without asking for anything.
Had he misunderstood her intentions all this time?
'No, it's impossible!' Jonas thought. He clearly remembered what Kent had done the previous day. The defiance in his eyes and the subtle blush that had crept on Melinda's cheeks were still vivid in his mind. Jonas banged the table with frustration. Melinda had found a new home, which was why she had left him in a hurry.
He felt that a woman like Melinda would never change. She leeched on people for money. The thought of it made anger rise from the pit of his stomach.
Jonas immediately grabbed a pen and signed the two documents without hesitation.
Just then, Gavin, the butler, walked into his room. He was sweating profusely, puffing and panting for breath.
"You've come at the right time. Send these documents to Melinda," Jonas ordered.
Gavin glanced at the documents and was hesitant to take them. Jonas opened his mouth to say something but decided against it.
"What's wrong? Do you have something to tell me?" Jonas knitted his eyebrows in confusion.
The old butler looked at Jonas with worried eyes. He licked his lips and swallowed loudly before he finally said,
"We found a pair of pajamas in Young Mistress' bedroom. Err... There are bloodstains all over it."
Jonas's dull eyes widened with shock.
"What do you mean?"
"It looks like the blood belongs to Young Mistress. I have sent people to check the surveillance video. It shows that she had gone to the hospital early in the morning." Melinda was a petite woman. How would her body tolerate so much blood loss?
