Leaving My Husband Who Arranged My Body for His Dead Sweetheart

However, I did not expect that a few days later, the lawyer called me and told me that Stanley refused to divorce and even demanded that I had to return home before I could divorce him.

“Then let’s just drag it out!” I said, after listening to what the lawyer said.

I knew Stanley was so anxious because of Xenia.

From the moment I saw her, I knew she could not stay long inside the cross pendant. And now, the fact that he was in such a hurry to find me made me understand his purpose.

He wanted Xenia to be me.

Just thinking of this possibility made my expression particularly ugly because I knew exactly what he would do.

Since that was the case, then… I would ignore him.

When the time came, Xenia would completely vanish and I knew at this moment, he must already be anxious.

And indeed, just as I thought, a few days later, my cousin hurriedly knocked on my door. He told me that Stanley had brought people to my house and he brought quite a few people, even some bodyguards, because he wanted to forcibly take me away.

“Where are they?” I asked with a trace of worry on my face.

But Brian waved his hand and said, “They were stopped at the entrance of the village!”

Our village was made up of people with the same surname and almost everyone was related. After Brian said that Stanley intended to harm me, the men and women, young and old, in the village could not possibly let them in.

Brian said again, "I've called the police."

After I heard this, I finally let out a sigh of relief. As long as he did not come in, then it was fine.

At that moment, I quickly took out the prayer beads that grandma had worn before. These were the prayer beads grandma had worn in her lifetime and she had once said that these beads could ward off evil. As long as I wore the beads, Xenia could not possibly harm me.

After I held the beads, I finally let out a thorough sigh of relief. Then, I walked out of the house.

When I walked out, I saw Brian and many villagers standing at the entrance and when they saw me coming, a group of people directly blocked me.

“Selene, don’t worry, with us here, no one can take you away!” several village elders said.

Hearing this, I could not help but reveal a trace of relief.

Turning my head to look at Stanley, I found that his gaze was fixed tightly on me.

“Selene, what are you doing? Just because of a small matter, you make such a fuss with me and even run away from home?”

He looked at me and scolded loudly, “Today, I just want to take you back!”

“Selene, what’s going on?” The village chief walked up to me and asked.

Before I had time to speak, Stanley quickly spoke, “You’re the village chief, right?”

“I am Selene’s husband. I quarreled with Selene a little and she wants a divorce! I just want to take her back!”

Hearing Stanley’s words, the village chief immediately turned his head and looked at me, saying, “Selene, if it’s just a quarrel, then you should go back with him.”

The village chief’s words instantly changed my expression.
