The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 107

“Mrs. Irvine, please, you have to help me. Mr. Harmon locked me up. I barely managed to sneak out. If he finds me and drags me back, I’m doomed.” Mike clung to Rachel like his life depended on it, his voice shaking with fear.

Rachel didn’t hesitate for a second. Mike was her ace in the hole, and she wasn’t about to let anything happen to him.

“Mom, what should we do now?” Jessa asked, glancing at Rachel with wide eyes.

Peter frowned, clearly annoyed. Rachel had finally managed to get something right, and now it felt like everything was falling apart again. “Rachel, what’s your plan?”

Rachel turned to him. “Honey, don’t get upset. This isn’t over yet.”

Jessa’s eyes sparkled. “Mom, did you think of something?”

“Jessa, call Mr. Grimm. He’s crazy about you and does whatever you ask. It’s time we get him involved.”

Cedric really did have a soft spot for Jessa. He treated her like she was already family.

Jessa nodded. “Alright, I’ll call Cedric right now.”

…

Half an hour later, Cedric showed up at the Irvine house. “Jessa, what’s going on? Why did you need me here so urgently?”

Jessa grabbed Cedric’s arm, leading him inside. “Cedric, I want you to meet someone.”

Mike dropped to his knees in front of Cedric. “Mr. Grimm, I need your help. Please.”

Cedric looked puzzled. “Aren’t you Ella’s adoptive father? What happened?”

Tears streamed down Mike’s face. “Mr. Grimm, Ella can’t stand that I’m from the countryside. She won’t even admit I’m her father. She thinks I’m a stain on her name. She even sent people to beat me up. Look at these bruises. She’s trying to destroy me.”
