Jessy Imperial transmigrated into a book, and her luck was atrocious. She became the pawn wife of the ruthless and cunning CEO, Xander Jenkin - a man with a reputation for crushing his enemies and devouring his allies. To make matters worse, he had just gone bankrupt, leaving them penniless! But Jessy wasn't one to whine. She rolled up her sleeves, ready to sell luxury goods and write online to make ends meet, all to help Xander regain his empire. After all, she owed it to him for taking care of the original character all those years. However, one day, she stumbled upon Xander's bank statement, and her eyes nearly popped out! He was raking in over a hundred million a day! Jessy's anger ignited, "Xander Jenkin, you deceitful devil! You're not bankrupt at all! Give me a divorce, and give it to me now!" Xander chuckled, his eyes gleaming with amusement, "Ah, my dear wife, how could I possibly let you go? You're the only one who's suffered with me, and I can't wait to lavish you with riches and spoil you rotten! Divorce? Ha! Not in this lifetime, my love.
"Jessy Imperial, Let's get a divorce!""I am now bankrupt, all our assets and properties have been cleared out.
Fortunately, we are not in debt.
"Currently, I only have $30,000 left, If you agree to divorce, I will give you $20,000. I've already paid half a year's rent for this house.
You don't need to move out immediately. You can stay here until you find a suitable place to live.
"The Xander Jenkin calmly said all this, not looking like someone who had just gone bankrupt.
Looking at the indifferent face of Xander, who proposed the divorce, Jessy felt no blame at all Instead, she thought he had been exceedingly kind and just.
Because she knew that the reason why Xander proposed the divorce was that he didn't want her to suffer with him, After all, slipping from luxury to poverty would be difficult.
If she stayed with him, she would inevitably have to tighten her belt.
If it were up to the original owner, a gold digger woman, she would probably agree to the divorce immediately and possibly even celebrate with a champagne, finally free from the shackles of this marriage.
But she was not the original owner, she was a person who had been reborn in this body after taking over.
In her previous life, she was stabbed in her heart by a gangster, when she woke up, she was in a novel called "The Overbearing President Dotes on Me". The person whose soul crossed over was a supporting character with the same name as her in this novel, with no memory and only knew nothing more than shopping, a brainless gold digger.
The original owner's identity in the novel was the wife of the ruthless CEO but she has no significant role, She was just a stain in his happy life.
In the novel, the CEO was defeated by a brilliant entrepreneur, his business fell apart, and the original owner sat on the bedroom floor of their rented house surrounded by designer clothes and luxury bags.
She is unable to accept the fact that the her husband had become bankrupt, she locked herself in her room for three days and nights without eating or drinking, staring resentfully at the luxurious items she had bought in the past.
She decided to divorce Xander and leave the man who had nothing left, Then suddenly everything in front of her went blank, and she passed out among these piles of luxury goods.
When she woke up again, it was an hour ago, and her body had already been occupied by her, who had traveled through time.
She doesn't have the heart to abandoned the CEO after everything, he has done for gold digger!
Xander saw that she remained silent, he continued, "You don't need to worry about lacking financial source.
After I handle the affairs at hand, I'll work hard to earn a stable income, I promise to give you $3000 every month as a living allowance. I know it's not much but I can't be sure of the situation in the future, so I can only promise you three thousand for now.
"If ever I manage to bounce back in the future, I will definitely compensate for the debt I owed to you during this period."
Upon hearing this, Jessy was almost moved to tears.
The CEO was truly a paragon of benevolence and righteousness! Although they had been married for many years, there was no emotional foundation between the two.
They had Married because Jessy grandfather had saved Xander grandfather, and he had taken in Jessy, who had become an orphan while in college, as his wife as a way to repay the favor.
After marriage, they led separate lives and they didn't interfere with each other. Besides providing her with money every month to satisfy her shopping needs, they had no other interactions.
So when he heard Jessy wanted a divorce a few days ago, he didn't feel disturb in his heart.
He only returned to discuss this matter with her after settling some urgent matters in the past few days.
At present, he just wanted to get the divorce discussions over with as quickly and smoothly as possible.
"Do you have any more demands?
"On hearing this, Jessy snapped back to reality, she quickly shaking her head and explaining, "I don't want your money, nor do I agree to divorce you.
I have thought things through these past days, and I accept reality.
"From now on, I will control my expenses, save on unnecessary expenses and lead a normal, ordinary life.
"You just focus on handling your matters, don't worry about me financially, and don't put so much pressure on yourself.
"When Jessy thought about how Xander was very kind to the original host when his career was flourishing in the book, she couldn't bear to leave after dividing what little money he had left during his downfall.
In the past, Xander supported the original host. Now that she has taken over the original host's body, it's time for her to pay back that favor.
Even if she wants to leave Xander in the future, she must wait until he has income or rebuilds his career.
Before that, she can earn money to support Xander!Plus, the original host was an orphan, and she had no relatives to rely on in this world.
She had just crossed over, and she was unfamiliar and helpless in this world.
After much thought, she felt it was safest to stay by Xander side.
Xander was taken aback at her words and asked in surprise, "You're not agreeing to divorce? Weren't you insisting on divorce just two days ago? Why the sudden change of mind?
"At the mention of this, the scenes of the original host scolding Xander for his incompetence and stubbornly demanding a divorce in the days before flashed through Jessy's mind.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel tense in her heart.
After a few seconds of quick thought, she spoke, "I was just unable to accept reality at that moment and I said those things recklessly due to my anger, I have calmed down and thought it through; I won't divorce you.
"I've seriously reflected on myself Since I have married you, as your wife in name, I have the duty to share life with you.
I will work hard to support myself in the future, and who knows, I might even be able to support you.
"Trust me, as long as we work for a better life, things will only get better!"
As Jessy spoke, she even made a cheering gesture with her fist clenched, appearing full of fighting spirit and ready for a wonderful life.
After she finished talking and looked up, she met Xander strange gaze, only then did she realize her behavior was too strange, completely different from the original host's dispirited personality.
She immediately put her hand down, not knowing what to say to save the situation.
She could only look at Xander with an awkward smile.
Xander was surprised by her unusual behavior, but he was more curious about her real intentions so, he decided to continue observing her actions to see whether she had genuinely change or was just pretending, or if she had ulterior motives.
