The word "sister-in-law" caught Yvan off guard, and he froze for a moment.
Meanwhile, Josephine calmly opened the passenger door and climbed in. "Let's go, George."
George drove off, glancing at the rearview mirror. Even after they'd gone a considerable distance, the tall man
still stood rooted to the spot, unmoving.
He wondered who that man was. Judging from his outfit, he looked like a rocker, in his opinion, anyone dressed
like that was either a shut-in who lived for comics or an offbeat rocker.
But there was no way a shut-in could look that good with such a well-built physique and commanding presence.
Not to mention, the guy looked loaded. So, a

However, after her phone rang several times and he still hadn't hung up, she decided to answer. "Mrs. Forbes,
Mr. Forbes was in a car accident! He's injured but refuses to go to the hospital. Could you cand talk some
sense into him?"
A car accident? Her heart sank to her stomach. "Where is he injured?"
"I don't know-he won't let anyone check on him. But his shirt and pants are covered in blood!
"Where are you guys right now?"
"| panicked and brought him back to the villa on Elysian street"
That was their marital home-the villa where she and Zayn had lived together for three years.
So, he wouldn't go to a hospital but was willing to return home. He wouldn't let Shawn check his injuries but was
fine with having him call her. Clearly, this was all a ploy for sympathy, using his injuries to guilt her
Her voice turned cold. "Since he's already at the villa, you should call a doctor to treat him. Why'd you call me?
I'm not a doctor."
Shawn's voice cracked with desperation. "Mrs. Forbes, Mr. Forbes is really badly injured. In the short twe've
been home, the blood's already soaked through the couch. Please ctake a look!
"If something happens and he ends up with complications, you won't be able to finalize the divorce anytime
soon.
Josephine could tell that line definately wasn't Shawn's idea-Zayn must've fed it to him.
She took a deep breath to corral her anger. But then she thought of Joe, who was still in the hospital. If he found
out how strained things had becbetween them or that she'd ignored Zayn's injuries, it would break his
heart. For Joe's sake, she clenched her fists and told George, "Taketo Villa 35 on Elysian Street,"
George simply nodded, obediently turning the car around without a word.
As the familiar villa cinto view, Josephine felt a world of difference inside her. The place felt hollow, void of
anything that tied her to it. She didn't even have g key anymore. Walking up to the door, she reached out to

"I'm not Zayn's wife anymore. Please, callMs. Dunn," she corrected coolly, though she didn't want to make
things difficult for him. Without waiting response, she stepped inside. Every housekeeper the encountered along
the way greeted her as well, but she didn't bother correcting them. Instead, she headed straight for the living
room.
