After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities
Chapter 768

Chapter 768

This time, she must make Jenna notorious in the international pianocircle and show everyone her true colors. Let's see how Jenna'llpretend to be innocent with that pure face of hers.

Mrs. Ritter has always held a grudge against Jenna, believing thatSylvia refused to take Ashlyn as a student because Jenna spoke ill ofher daughter and interfered.

The Graley Piano Competition is important for almost every musicianand is considered a heavyweight international award. If they fail, theywill become the laughingstock of the music world.

It would directly block Jenna's piano career. She became famous as ateenager, winning first place in the piano competition and receivingmuch attention.

Mrs. Ritter was extremely jealous, thinking that it wasn't due to her owntalent but rather because Sylvia had good guidance. That's why shewanted to send her daughter to study under Sylvia as well.

Then when the winner of the piano competition turns out to be anincompetent composer who insists on participating in competitions...Mrs. Ritter even thought about what headlines she could use at thattime.

She was just waiting for Jenna to fall short at Graley PianoCompetition's live performance venue so Mrs. Ritter could feel morecomfortable inside.

A little slut who wants to show off in front of her? Does she really thinkThe Ritter family is nothing?

Jenna's head buzzed with noise while an impulse rose from deep withinwanting desperately escape this situation but no... she couldn't do it...she knew it wouldn't work...

When she walked out of the Piano Association half an hour later feelinglost and disoriented, Ashlyn followed closely behind, mocking, "MissShepherd, what kind of expression is that? You look like you've been hithard or something! Oh my goodness I have some friendly advice - Itlooks like snow is coming soon, so hurry up and go home."

The sky was gloomy; it looked like snow was really coming soon withcold winds blowing fiercely causing pain all over their bodies

Jenna turned pale; feeling uncomfortable almost suffocatingly.

"Why are you ignoring me? That's too much! Do you think you're cooljust because you're going participate in Graley Piano Competition?"Ashlyn pushed Jenna without warning

The girl fell down unexpectedly onto the ground scraping her hand onimpact making small sounds from pain escaping through gritted teeth.She instinctively looked down at her hand only seeing blood seepingout from where skin had been scraped off

Biting back tears while glaring angrily at Ashlyn "Why did you push me!"Ashlyn looked down at her with an arrogant posture. "You accidentallyfell, and you still want to blame me?"

Jenna gritted her teeth in anger.

"Jenna!" Just then, a car pulled up to the association building'sentrance. A tall man stepped out of the car and quickly walked over toJenna, helping her up from the ground.

"How are you?" Brayden held onto her as she breathed lightly againsthis neck like a feather scratching him.

His deep eyes seemed bottomless, but when he saw Jenna's bleedinghand, a flash of anger passed through them.

“I'm fine. Let's go.” Jenna whispered softly.

Why was Brayden here? She didn't want him getting into troublebecause of her altercation with Ashlyn.

“Your hand is bleeding; how can you be fine?" Brayden stood like a wallin front of Ashlyn, towering over her by more than a head height. Heglared at her mercilessly and said, "Miss Ritter, next time you bullysomeone, I hope you can see your target clearly.”

Ashlyn felt uncomfortable inside as she suppressed the fire withinherself. "Are you guys trying to scam me?"

Last night she had eavesdropped on Mrs. Ritter and Donovan talkingabout how deeply rooted the Ritter family was - even if Cody gotpromoted, they wouldn't be afraid.

So today Mrs. Ritter humiliated Jenna.

Since Ashlyn had support from her mother, she naturally wanted to stepon Jenna too.

She wanted nothing more than crushing anyone related to Sylviaunderfoot - when Sylvia and Franklin bullied Ashlyn in the mall that day,it left an indelible impression on Ashlyn's mind

In this office building where there were not only members of the pianoassociation but also many white-collar workers from other companiescoming back-and-forth frequently attracting quite some attention soonenough.

Jenna's face turned gloomy; originally feeling extremely bad now beingwatched by so many people due to this small matter made itunbearable for her - She couldn't help but shrink into Brayden's arms,"Brayden, let's go home."

Brayden glared irritably at Ashlyn. His precious girl who he protectedevery day being humiliated by such a despicable woman was touchinghis bottom line!

He grabbed hold of Ashyinn’s neck tightly warning. “I warn you. If youever again dare bully my sister, you'll face the music!"

"You!" Her face turned red with anger as she struggled against him justthen Braydon threw one arm out flinging Ashlyn onto the ground!

She was wearing high heels, and being in such a messy state on theground made her feel both embarrassed and angry. And it hurt too! Sherubbed her long manicured fingers against the ground, breaking severalof them. The pain made her grit her teeth, unable to manage herexpression.

"Ah, these are my new nails."

"Miss Ritter, do you know why you can't play the piano well?" Jennawalked up to Ashlyn and looked at her broken fingers. "Because... youuse too many fancy things. Which outstanding pianist would make suchcomplicated nails with their hands? It affects your touch too much.”After speaking, Jenna said to Brayden, "Brayden, let's go."

"Miss Ritter... Jenna is too arrogant.” A member of the PianoAssociation who had been watching all along came over and helpedAshlyn up from the ground. "She must be retaliating against youbecause she is unhappy that Mrs. Ritter arranged for you to participatein the composition competition.”

Ashlyn stood up and looked at her fingers with heartache, "It's okay.She'll see how good I am in a few days when we compete.”

She glared hatefully at Jenna's back as she thought, “Jenna, just waitfor me."

In the hospital.

Sylvia and Franklin entered Cody's ward only to see him sitting on hisbed eating breakfast with a pillow behind his back.

"How do you feel, Cody?"

Cody smiled, "Sylvia and Franklin are here? I'm recovering pretty well."Mrs. Wright saw Jasper put down his gift bag on the table so shequickly said politely,"Why bring gifts when visiting us? We're notstrangers after all.”

"Cody really picked up another life this time around. I wonder who wasbehind it all?"

"Mrs. Wright, don't worry. MI6 is investigating this matter. Cody has justtaken office. There must be someone who has coveted this position fora long time. Everyone sees managing Urgford as an easy job, right?"Franklin spoke softly.

“That makes sense." Mrs. Wright sighed, “The higher one climbs, thecolder it gets."

Cody took it lightly, "The police department has also been instructed byMr. President to investigate this matter. It should come out soonenough after some time passes.”

Sylvia was flipping through Cody's medical records. She read them fora while before saying, “There isn't anything serious. Resting for sometime will do good though."

As she put down Cody's medical records, she saw that there weremany gifts piled inside his ward. They were probably from many noblefamilies in Urgford who had come to visit him .

After all, with the new secretary just taking office, who wouldn't want toshow some enthusiasm and refresh their presence?

At that moment, Jasper, who had been sitting on the couch scrollingthrough his phone, murmured softly, "Master Brayden?"

"What's up?" Franklin lazily sat on the couch. Even while sitting down,he still exuded a strong aura that affected everyone in the hospitalroom.

"Master Franklin, take a look at this." Jasper moved closer to him andhanded him his phone.

Franklin's deep gaze looked over and saw #Secretary Cody's SonMaster Brayden publicly beating a woman# trending high on socialmedia. He watched the short video clip where Brayden was holdingJenna in his arms while his other hand gripped onto a woman's neck.The woman seemed vaguely familiar but since he never paid attentionto women before he couldn't remember who she was.

Sylvia frowned as she heard her phone beep with Twitter notificationsof the latest news. She watched Brayden's video clip.

"Ashlyn! Did this woman bully Jenna? Is that why Brayden is angry?"“The Ritters?" Franklin raised an eyebrow sharply at Sylvia as theyexchanged glances suspecting them as one of their targets.

"Jenna and Brayden haven't come back yet but this incident hasalready gone viral online so it's obvious there are people behind it."Franklin quickly drew conclusions.

Mrs. Wright was confused, "What are you guys talking about?"

"Take a look." Sylvia handed her phone over to Mrs. Wright who turnedpale after seeing such headlines which would directly affect Cody'scareer path.

It could range from being punished by public opinion or even losingtheir position entirely if they were caught up in scandals like these fortoo long.

As Mrs. Wright had been married into the Wright family for many yearsnow she always kept low profile whereas even though Brayden wasvery cautious when speaking out loud...

This time...

Just then, Brayden came back holding Jenna's hand and immediatelyfelt the tense atmosphere in the hospital room, “What happened?""Brayden did you have conflict with the Ritter family?" Mrs. Wrightspoke first sounding pained, "Why are you so impulsive? The Ritterfamily isn't easy to deal with especially since your father just tookoffice...”

"How do you know what happened outside?" asked an odd-looking yetpuzzled expression appeared on Braden's face.

“It went viral online.” Sylvia explained further, “You're getting slammedby netizens right now."

Jenna's face turned pale. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't havegotten into a conflict with Ashlyn..."

"Brayden just wanted to stand up for me, but he was used by someonewith malicious intent,” she continued.

Mrs. Wright looked anxious. "What do we do now? Jenna, don't blameyourself. The Ritters have been causing trouble for a long time."Franklin pondered for a moment before speaking up. "The Ritter familyhas always been arrogant and Donovan Ritter, Ashlyn's father, eventried to run for Secretary before the President chose Wright instead.Sylvia and I suspected that it was likely that the Ritters caused theWrights to be injured.”
