After the divorce he begged novel Chapter 93

A young man strutted in wearing a pricey suit, surrounded by an entourage. With one hand in his pocket and his gaze moving lazily around the room, he oozed confidence and entitlement.

The people trailing behind him grinned at him like eager lackeys.

One of them said, “Mr. Kendall, this way, please. We’re really honored to have you at our anniversary. Mr. Smith will be here shortly.”

“I was worried I’d be intruding by showing up unannounced,” Alexander said, but his tone was anything but apologetic.

The group around him showered him with compliments and flattery.

Derek kept glancing their way. Once he got a clear look at Alexander, he tilted his head toward Rebecca and Jane, asking, “Doesn’t he look really familiar? He looks like Alexander, the heir of the Kendall Group.”

Rebecca’s hand subconsciously tightened. She thought, ‘It is him, Alexander.‘

Alexander was the classic privileged playboy: all about living it up, always with his nose in the air. To him, a company like PrimePlay Technologies wasn’t worth a second glance–hell, even if PrimePlay was twice as big, he probably wouldn’t bat an eye.

Rebecca felt a shiver of unease—she couldn’t shake the feeling that Alexander had come here with her in mind.

Rebecca said, “Jane, I’m heading upstairs to prep for tonight’s show.” She wanted zero interaction with Alexander—if he exposed her connection to Jeffrey, it would totally blow her cover and spell trouble.

Jane nodded.

Rebecca had barely stepped out before Derek instantly swooped in, grabbing Alexander’s attention.

Face beaming, Derek greeted, “Mr. Kendall, what a surprise running into you here.”

Alexander glanced over–a total stranger. He was about to ignore Derek completely, but just then, he caught sight of someone hurrying off behind Derek.

He thought, “That silhouette looks familiar! He tilted his chin with a touch of arrogance toward Derek and asked, “Who is that?”

Derek followed his gaze and replied with a smile, “That’s Rebecca Jensen in our department.”

Alexander let out a low chuckle.

“Mr. Kendall, it’s such an honor to meet you,” Derek kept rambling, trying to butter Alexander up.

But Alexander didn’t even spare him a glance. He strode right past, calling after Rebecca as she tried to hurry away, “Running off so fast? Are you afraid to see me, Ms. Jensen?”

Derek paused and frowned, his face full of confusion.

Rebecca froze for a second but kept walking.

Alexander stepped right in front of her, blocking her path. He said, “I’m talking to you. Where do you think you’re going?”

Rebecca had no choice but to stop. She looked at Alexander as if he were a total stranger, making it crystal clear that she wanted nothing to do with him.

Derek and the others hurried over, glancing back and forth between Rebecca and Alexander in surprise.

Derek asked, “Ms. Jensen? Are you talking about Rebecca?”

“That’s right,” Alexander replied, not bothering to hide anything. The challenge in his eyes hadn’t faded since he spotted Rebecca. He asked, “You seriously didn’t know?”

Rebecca glared at him, eyes hard. She looked like she was ready to deck him if he said one wrong word.

Seeing her like this, Alexander leaned in and whispered, “That’s more like it. Honestly, I figured after the divorce, that gutsy Ms. Jensen–the one who stole my girl–would’ve disappeared for good.”

Rebecca grumbled inwardly, ‘Seriously, how long can he hold a grudge? Still hung up on stuff from a hundred years ago, huh?‘

Derek racked his brain for a second before asking, “Which Ms. Jensen are you talking about? The one from the now–defunct Jensen Group?”

“Of course,” Alexander replied, immediately giving Rebecca away without a second thought.

Rebecca instantly tensed up inside.

Those people at PrimePlay didn’t know she’d been with Jeffrey, but their wedding had been a huge deal. Everyone who was anyone in their social circle had been invited. If they asked around, it wouldn’t take long for them to figure it out.

Once that happened, work wouldn’t just be work anymore. Things would get way more complicated.

As Rebecca was racking her brain thinking about how she would deal with it if her identity was exposed, Alexander added, “Not.”

The others looked confused.

Alexander continued, “That Ms. Jensen from Jensen Group is way more well–bred and ladylike than this one standing before me. She is graceful, polite, all the classic virtues–this one isn’t even in the same league.”

Rebecca couldn’t figure out what his angle was anymore. But she was sure he was definitely scheming something.

“You guys go on and get back to your work. I’ll have a little chat with this Ms. Jensen here,” Alexander told the others, his eyes never leaving Rebecca, a mischievous look flashing in them.

“Alright, just call us if you need anything,” Derek said, picking up on the mood and wisely backing off. He turned to Rebecca and said, “Take good care of Mr. Kendall, alright? Don’t let him down.”

Jane was about to say something, but Rebecca shot her a look that said she had it under control. Jane got the message and left with the others. Soon, it was just Rebecca and Alexander left.

Alexander leaned lazily against a pillar and said, “So you’re really that scared they’ll find out you lost it all and have to work for a living now?”

“Why are you here?” Rebecca retorted instead of answering his question, her tone flat and uninterested.

Alexander said, “Just here for PrimePlay Technologies‘ tenth anniversary. And figured I’d check out how the all–powerful Ms. Jensen is doing nowadays.”

Rebecca couldn’t even be bothered to acknowledge him. She just strode off without a backward glance.

Alexander trailed casually at her side. Seeing she wasn’t about to stop, he said, “Didn’t your managers just tell you not to let me down? If I snitch and say you’re being rude, just imagine what will happen.”

“Do whatever you want,” Rebecca shot back, totally unfazed.

Alexander stopped short and said, “What if I spill the beans about you and Jeffrey?”

Rebecca froze.

Alexander lounged on a nearby leather couch, propping himself up casually. He said, “Bet they still have no clue about that, huh?”

Rebecca sneered, “What, you still salty over a little fight from way back?”

Alexander got all worked up. He snapped, “A little fight? Are you kidding me? You and Jessica stole my girl right in front of my crew, then straight–up decked me. Made me lose face. That was humiliating.”

Rebecca couldn’t even be bothered to reply.

This all happened right after high school, when Rebecca and Jessica hit up a bar with a bunch of friends.

There, they spotted Alexander creeping on a girl, pushing drinks on her, and getting way too physical. Rebecca and Jessica jumped in and taught him a lesson.

Back then, the Jensen family was way ahead of the Kendall family. So all Alexander could do was mouth off, especially after Jessica gave him a well–deserved beating.

Alexander demanded, “Apologize to me, and let me throw a punch this time. If you don’t, I’ll make sure everyone at PrimePlay Technologies finds out who you really are–and that little secret about you and Jeffrey.”

Rebecca met his gaze, her eyes icy and distant.

Alexander urged, “Hurry up, quit stalling.”
