The Substitute Ex-Wife: Seeking a Divorce
Chapter 177: Scum
"What paparazzi? Miranda, what are you talking about? Did someone expose our whereabouts? Could it be your manager?" Eric saw that Miranda had calmed down and thought that he had coaxed her, so he quickly pretended to be concerned.
"Really? You think it’s my manager? Do you think I should replace him?" Miranda asked Eric.
"Replace him? There’s no need. After all, he has been with you for so many years and has a lot of resources." Eric listened to Miranda’s words and his mind raced.
He really didn’t like Miranda’s manager, especially when he was with Miranda. He always tried to stop them from being together. He would secretly tell Miranda bad things about him behind his back. He had long wanted Miranda to fire him, but he had to make good use of him before that. He took this opportunity to think about it before saying.
These words made Miranda want to applaud Eric. No one could compare to him in terms of shamelessness. Why hadn’t she realized before that Eric could be so thick-skinned? She was really impressed.
"What’s wrong? Miranda, what do you think of my opinion? To be honest, that manager of yours should know a lot of composers, right? We should get all the resources in his hands before firing him," Eric said when he saw that Miranda was silent.
"Well, Eric, why didn’t I realize before that you were so smart?" Miranda said, turning back to Eric.
"Miranda, I’m doing this for your own good, especially now that our whereabouts have been exposed. I love you so much, so I definitely won’t tell anyone. Your manager told everyone our whereabouts. I think he just didn’t want the two of us to have it easy," Eric said without looking at Miranda’s expression.
"Yes, you’re right. I do have to fire someone."
"Right? Just listen to me. When you fire your manager, don’t worry and leave your matters to me. I guarantee that your singing career will definitely improve."
Eric listened to Miranda and subconsciously thought that she had been convinced by him. He even smiled as he arranged what he would do after Miranda’s manager left.
"But you’re the one who’s going to be fired," Miranda said, not wanting to pretend anymore and looking at him. Eric made her sick.
"Me? Why would you fire me? Miranda, have you lost your mind?" Eric said in disbelief as he listened to Miranda.
"Yes, I must have been crazy to have been tricked by you for so long. You scum. Do you think I don’t know what you’ve done? Take a good look at these investigation reports." Miranda didn’t want to waste time with Eric, so she looked at him and said.
"Miranda, I’ll say it again. Don’t be tricked by them. These investigation reports can’t be trusted, okay?"
Seeing that Eric was still going to quibble, Miranda gave him another cold look and said, "Really? Can’t be trusted? Do you know who gave me this investigation report? It was your ex-girlfriend Anita’s husband, President Owen, who gave it to me. I believe you’re familiar with Owen, right?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
It would have been better if she hadn’t mentioned Owen, but as soon as she did, Eric’s anger rose. Eric had wanted to rekindle his relationship with Anita when they’d met at the hotel that time, but Owen had completely ruined it.
At that time, he couldn’t say anything because of Owen’s status, but he didn’t expect Anita to ignore his messages.
"I remember now. It’s that b*tch Anita again. Miranda, let me tell you, before the two of us broke up, this b*tch had already hooked up with someone else behind my back. You have no idea how shameless she is. She even threatened me a few times about the song rights," Eric said agitatedly.
"Huh, song copyright. You’re admitting that the song you gave me has nothing to do with you, right?" Miranda didn’t hear what Eric was saying. She only caught the main point.
"No... I didn’t say that. I wrote this song. It has nothing to do with Anita," Eric said in a panic as he listened to Miranda.
"Eric, it’s okay. It doesn’t matter who wrote this song. What’s important is that I’m saying goodbye to you now. You can get lost." Miranda watched as Eric gave him an ultimatum.
"No, Miranda, don’t be like this. I love you. It’s all that bitch Anita’s doing." When Eric heard what Miranda said, he quickly took a few steps forward to reach out and hug her while pretending to be pitiful.
