Goodbye, My Love novel Chapter 10

The villa was empty. There was nothing in the living room—it was as if the place had never been lived in.

Ansel, who'd hurried after Jordan, instinctively called out for Sabrina. "Mom? Mom!"

No one answered his calls, though. He finally panicked and clutched Jordan's hand, his eyes red. "Dad, where's Mom?"

Jordan was also panicked. He hurriedly pulled out his phone and called Sabrina. However, when the call connected, all he heard was a robotic message. "Sorry, the number you have dialed is no longer in service."

Ansel burst into tears. "I want Mom!"

…

The news of Sabrina's disappearance spread through the city like wildfire, but what was worse than that was Jordan's affair.

The photos of him and Holly being intimate played on repeat on the city's billboards for a whole day. He spent a fortune taking them down, but netizens had still shared them online, ensuring they ended up on the trending topics.

Faust Group's stock price plummeted after the news broke out. The shareholders started doubting Jordan's ability to manage the company. They even considered asking Jordan's father, Charles Faust, who'd long since taken a back seat in running the company, to change the CEO.

Meanwhile, Ansel got bullied at kindergarten. The other children mocked him for being as shameless as his father. They made fun of him for calling a homewrecker his mother when his own mother was much better.

The children didn't know what these words really meant, but they'd heard their parents talking about it. Ansel was young, but he knew that the things the other children were saying couldn't be good. His teachers also started scorning him.

All of this led to him fearing going to kindergarten. He would hide in the villa and cry instead.

Jordan didn't have any time to bother about him because Holly was pregnant. Since being exposed for being a homewrecker, she'd been terminated from her position at Faust Group. The other people in her residential area had also thrown trash at her while telling her to get lost.
