My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage

The pool was situated right by the edge of the courtyard.

As two men walked by outside, they couldnt help but glance through the gaps in the fence.

Elizabeth and Camille were by the pool, snapping selfies together.

One of the men ran a hand over his chin, laughing softly.

These two are something else.

The one in purple? Shes got something about her.

The other man shook his head in disagreement.

Nah, youre off.

The one in the other swimsuit is even more stunning.

Her curves, damn! Shes practically spilling out of it.

Elijahs expression hardened, his eyes narrowing as they fixed on the two men beyond the fence.

Albin stormed out of the pool, striding over to the fence with determination.

Get out of here! Youre not welcome! he shouted.

The two men shifted their gaze to Albin, one raising an eyebrow.

Whos this pretty boy? Dont you know who we are? The second man let out a loud whistle, calling out to Elizabeth and Camille, Hey, come on, ditch these losers.

Come with us, and well show you a good time.

Elizabeth shot them a look of pure disgust, grabbed the robes, handed one to Camille, and quickly slipped her own on.

She noticed Elijah walking purposefully toward the side gate, heading directly toward the two men.

Before they could even blink, Elijah delivered a swift kick to the man who had been whistling, sending him stumbling backward.

Albin followed up with a punch to the other mans face, sending him crashing to the ground.

Then, he kicked him several times while he was down.

Who do you think you are? In front of Elijah, youre nothing, Albin spat.

The men on the ground groaned in pain, their voices laced with weak threats.

You think you can do this? Do you know who we are? Well crush you like bugs! They were too dazed by the pain to speak properly, their words slurring together.

Suddenly, the mens eyes flickered toward a portly figure approaching.

Their faces lit up, and they quickly scrambled to their feet.

Mr.

Jenkins! they yelled in unison.

They rushed over to Mr.

Jenkins, pointing angrily at Elijah.

Mr.

Jenkins, what kind of people do you have around here? They attacked us without any provocation! Mr.

Jenkins glanced in the direction the men indicated, his eyes faltering for a moment as he saw Elijah standing there.

Elijah had spoken with him the day before about a potential deal, showing interest in taking over the Fayedge hot spring.

The Fayedge hot spring was well-known for being a highly profitable business.

If managed properly, its revenue could easily grow.

Mr.

Jenkins was keen to finish his current task and focus on managing the hot spring more effectively.

A few parties had expressed interest in taking over, but Elijahs offer had been on the low side, and he didnt appear to be someone with vast financial resources.

Seeing how young Elijah was, Mr.

Jenkins quickly assumed he was just a wealthy kid with too much time on his hands.

Being a businessman, he valued smooth relations, so he handed Elijah a few tickets to enjoy the place.

The men who had been attacked were suppliers for the hotel, providing almost all of its goods.

Given Esterhalls underdevelopment, resources were scarce.

After a brief pause, Mr.

Jenkins quickly made up his mind.

He walked over to Elijah and said, Mr.

Norris, I gave you tickets to relax for free here, not to trouble and hurt our guests.

The two men, still behind Mr.

Jenkins, were rubbing their woundsone on his cheek, the other on his stomach.

We wont let this go.

Were calling the police and getting a medical exam.

Albin let out a disbelieving laugh.

Relax for free? If Elijah wanted, he could buy the entire Fayedge hot spring.

Mr.

Jenkins sneered.

There are plenty in Orkset who could afford Fayedge hot spring.

Mr.

Norris did talk to me about it, but his offer wasnt impressive.

Elijah shot him a cold glance from the side but remained silent.

In business, Elijah was all about making intelligent investments.

The price he proposed was well thought out and fair.

If every deal had to be about showing off wealth, the Norris Groups market value wouldnt have soared under his guidance.

Mr.

Jenkins felt a shiver run down his spine under Elijahs piercing gaze.

How could someone like Elijahseemingly a mere rich kidcarry such an undeniable presence, one that seemed to outshine even his boss? Elizabeth stepped forward, her voice frosty.

Go ahead, call the police.

Well also report them for harassing and insulting women in public.

Camille, standing next to Elizabeth, folded her arms and added, Exactly! Two creepy old men.

Have you even taken a look in the mirror lately? A closer look revealed the two mens shifty, sleazy expressions, and the way they stared made the women feel uneasy.

Both women were already in robes, fully covered.

Elizabeth? A soft voice called from behind her.

Elizabeth spun around to find Daxton, dressed in white sportswear, jogging up to her with an easy stride.

She arched an eyebrow, surprised.

Daxton, what brings you here? Daxton gave Camille a nod and explained calmly, Im the investor here.

Whenever Im in Esterhall for business, I would be staying at this place.

The mountain air is refreshing, so I decided to go for a jog.

Elizabeth hesitated as she processed his words.

The fact that Daxton was the secret owner of Fayedge hot spring took her by surprise.
