I Want a Divorce by Abigail Quinn

Chapter 140

The driver returned to the hotel, and upon arrival, Manuel gave him 2,000 dollars. The driver was

overjoyed and couldn’t stop smiling.

Back at the hotel on the upper floor, they prepared to pack their luggage and check out. The hotel staff

was cleaning the rooms and, upon seeing them enter, hastily handed each of them a bottle of water.

Manuel was thirsty, and he opened the bottle and drank it all in one go.

Wayne and Simon also finished their water quickly. Oliver only drank half a bottle before proceeding to

pack his luggage.

Wayne and Simon offered to help pack, but as they rushed to the room, Wayne suddenly had a bad

feeling. He turned to look at the female staff member cleaning the room and stammered, “You… you…”

Then, Wayne, Simon, Manuel and Oliver fell down one after another.

It was uncertain how much time had passed when Oliver slowly regained consciousness. He opened

his eyes, still feeling a bit dizzy.

After a while, Oliver’s mind gradually cleared. He smelled a faint fragrance and realized that the room

was unfamiliar

Where was he?

83

It took Oliver a while to piece together his memory. He remembered that they were in the hotel, packing

their luggage, and then…

Then there was nothing more, as if Oliver’s memory had been cut off.

Did Oliver’s memory really have a gap?

Oliver tried hard to recall and only remembered that they drank a bottle of mineral water in the hotel

room, and then..

Suddenly, it dawned on Oliver. All four of them had drunk a bottle of mineral water given by the hotel

staff, and then they had all collapsed.

Was the hotel involved in something shady?

Oliver rubbed his head, finding it hard to believe that in this day, even the lowest-tier hotels were

generally safe. Such occurrences as drugging customers were rare. Yet, why had they all passed out

after drinking that mineral water?

Oliver couldn’t make sense of it. He considered that if the reason for their fainting was indeed the water

provided by the hotel staff, they should file a complaint with the hotel.

But when Oliver opened his eyes and looked around the room, he found it peculiar. The room exuded

an understated yet luxurious atmosphere. There were large floor-to-ceiling windows, and as he walked

over and gently pulled the curtains, they automatically opened to the sides.”

The curtains were electronically operated. When the curtains opened, there was a spacious terrace

garden of over 1,000. square feet outside, adorned with a variety of vibrant flowers that made it look

like a fairyland

This place was… incredibly luxurious!

Inspecting the room further, Oliver found a walk-in closet to the left, and on the right, an array of

storage/compartments. As he moved around, his footsteps triggered LED lights within the storage

compartments.

These compartments were filled with luxury items, including bags from brands like Louis Vuitton,

Hermes, and Prada, as well as hats, scarves, and watches.

And as Oliver cast his gaze further, he spotted an entire row of jewelry storage compartments, all filled

with high-end jewelry.

Oliver’s eyes widened as he appraised the items.

These were worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for a single piece, and they were all authentic.

Glancing at the other side of the walk-in closet, behind the glass doors, Oliver found an extensive

collection of designer clothing.

Estimating the value of these items, Oliver realized that the jewelry, fashion, and accessories in both

sides of the closet and storage compartments were worth at least 1 million dollars, if not more.

This was undoubtedly a truly wealthy household, and it appeared to be a rich lady’s abode.

Because all these fashions and accessories here are for a lady.

As Oliver thought of a wealthy lady, Oliver’s heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly recalled the lady

who had pursued him on their way back from the wood processing factory, Jenifer!

Isn’t Jenifer behind all this?

From the aerial garden view, it wasn’t a high-rise building below but an intricate three-story villa estate

with mountains, water, and forests. The entire estate spanned an area of at least 30,000 to 40,000

square feet.

In terms of size, design, and opulence, this mansion was easily worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

This was not a place that an ordinary wealthy individual could afford.

As Oliver pondered, the door opened, and someone walked in.

“Jenifer… Who are you?

Oliver instinctively thought that Jenifer had entered, but the person who walked in was not Jenifer.

Instead, it was a lady in her late twenties, beautiful in appearance, with a remarkable presence and

charisma.

The lady gazed at Oliver for a moment and then said, “You are Oliver, right? What do you do? I heard

you are highly skilled in appraisal.”

Oliver didn’t answer her question but asked calmly, “Who are you?” Why am I here? Where is this

place?”

The lady, displeased that Oliver didn’t answer her question, instead furrowed her brows and asked, “I

asked you first. Don’t think just because my little sister is interested in you, you can be one of our

family. It is not that easy to be admitted by my family.”

Oliver quickly grasped the situation and realized that Jenifer was behind all of this.

Once Oliver figured out it was Jenifer’s doing, he no longer felt the need to be polite. He said coldly to

the lady, “I think you’ve misunderstood. No matter how rich your Woods family is, I have no intention of

becoming one of it. I don’t need money. Even if I were penniless, I still wouldn’t enter your Woods

family, even if you offered me a fortune.”

That lady sneered, “Playing hard to get, huh? I’ve dealt with people who use such tactics before. Your

tricks won’t work here.”

Oliver laughed and said, “Thank you, then. Send me out now. Don’t be polite to a poor guy who always

covets your wealth. Just kick me out.”

The woman snorted and stared at Oliver without saying a word.

Oliver ignored her. He didn’t know where Manuel, Wayne, and Simon were or whether they would be

brought here, but he knew the woman wouldn’t say anything about that, so he kept silent.

After knowing that this was the Woods’ place, Oliver didn’t want to check carefully anymore. He looked

out of the door and went straight..

But the woman stretched out her hand to stop him and said, “Hey, stop. There is something else I

haven’t figured out yet.”

Oliver didn’t want to have a direct conflict with her, so he stopped and said lightly, “What else do you

want to know?”

The woman took out her cell phone to send a message and stood at the door.

After a while, two middle-aged men arrived, one on the left and one on the right, standing guard at the

entrance. They were bodyguards.

Oliver reached into his pocket to get his phone, but it was empty.

His phone was gone. Oliver wanted to call the police, but he didn’t have anything on him.

Although he had good identification skills, he was not good at fighting. The two strong men at the gate

seemed to be powerful. He had no way to beat them down.

Without Wayne and Simon with him, Oliver’s quite weak in fighting.

After a while, another man came in.

Oliver did know this man, Will!

Will was stunned when he saw that it was Oliver, and then said to the woman, “Mila, this is Mr.

Eastwood, he’s young but quite capable. Wait… Is he the man Jenifer brought?

As soon as Oliver saw Will, his expression softened a little. He nodded and said, “Mr. Woods, I was all

confused. When I came back from the lumber mill at noon, I just arrived at the hotel and saw the waiter

cleaning our room. We were about to check out when the waiter handed us a bottle of water and

fainted after drinking it. Then, I woke up here. I don’t know what exactly happened!”
