Chapter 348 - 346: Trying To Steal Her Identity

The news about Nathan and Eunji's divorce had spread like wild fire all over social media.

Nathan PR team then released an official statement which was according to how Eunji wanted to.

To make it even better, Eunji had also released her own official statement regarding the matter first before Nathan did his.

On both of their statements, Nathan and Eunji said the reason on why they had decided to file for a divorce.

---"I never thought I would have to release my official statement regarding to the matter that's supposed to be kept private between us. Well I guess, it's inevitable given that I once married a public figure." Eunji started on her introduction.

"I am eternally grateful to meet such a caring and loving man. For the past two years and a half that we're married, I was pampered with his love that I could not even ask for more. However, lately we have gotten involved in constant arguments just like how an ordinary married couple would experience."

"The constant argument and quarreling had taken a toll on my mental and over all health that's why I had decided to call it quits. I failed to be strong for us. And I don't want to keep on binding him in a relationship that's no longer healthy for the both of us."

"I want to at least save the memories that we shared before everything got worse than this. By asking for a divorce, I hope we could at least moved on from each other and could freely do what we want to do and find true happiness."

"I hope the media and the public would respect our decision. And as much as possible not blow things out of proportion. Please do respect his and my privacy and as much as possible I don't want to hear or read any written articles about this."

"I only want love and peace of mind now that everything's over between us. Don't blame my ex-husband for this because I am also at fault on why our marriage had failed. And I am really thankful that he understood my needs and set me free. And for that, I'm grateful to him."

"Lastly, whatever actions he had done after our divorce, I will support him. After all, the man deserved to pursue his happiness just like I deserve to pursue mine."---

That was what Eunji wrote in her official statement.

Eunji's statement fueled up the speculation that their argument was related to Nathan's previous scandal.

But since Nathan had cleared his name to them, they had decided to think of other topics.

Then the topic of third party came out in the internet.

The article was written to bring back Nathan's old habits in the past.

Yes, they were accusing Nathan of infidelity. They had also showed photos of Nathan accompanied with another woman.

The media wanted to get Eunji's side about this. However, she had gone MIA. It was like she had disappeared in the face of the Earth after she had released her statement.

Now, they were wracking their heads to find her whereabouts. It was then that they realized they had known nothing about Nathan's ex-wife.

They mystery of her identity baffled the media and the public especially when they could not find any articles about her except from the fact that she's EL.

EL herself was like a mysterious figure back then. So it didn't help them much.

Nathan then followed in releasing his official statement which stated;

---"I never though a day would come that I have to disclose something so personal just because I'm a public figure. My marriage should be non of your business, yeah?"

"Yesterday, my then wife now ex-wife and I had decided to end our marriage. The reason was simple. We have failed to keep the marriage working despite the strong love that we had for each other."

"I never thought that a day would come where in we would both realize that the love which brought us together would also be the reason why we have to part ways for good just so we could save each other from self-destruction."

"There's no big drama behind this. We just both want to preserve what we both cherished. She wanted her freedom and so I give it to her even if it hurts. Moving on would never be easy. But I hope we can overcome this process and be a better version of ourselves the next time we fell in love."---

Nathan had to read this many times before he gave the go signal to publish it.

If they were actually over, Nathan would never want to look good in the eyes of the public by throwing shades at Eunji.

He would never dare to bring himself on hating her.

Eunji also had the same sentiments.

She would never want to make Nathan be the bad wolf on why they broke up if their break up was real.

Nathan had done so much for her.

And even if it was him who would ask for the break up because he had found someone else, though it hurts, she would just accept it and set him free without ruining his image to other people.

She was not a that kind of person.

After they had seen their official statements on the news, Nathan and Eunji then looked at each other.

They could only laugh at how they were playing with the media and the public.

"Don't worry. Your empire won't be hurt because of this." She reassured him.

"I'm not that worried about my empire. I could just resign as the Chairman and sell my shares to you. I know my employees' future would be good in your hands." Nathan said.

"Thank you for trusting me. You know what, it's a very tempting offer but I think I have to decline that. I also have a huge empire to run. I only have two hands and I could not even barely managed mine. And here you are, trying to pass down another empire to me."

Though she had already shared the management of her foundation to Kelly and the rest, she still had ELEK Group to manage.

Yes, Alora was there to assist her with everything but she felt that she must set a limit on how much responsibility she would want to shoulder.

"How about we merged our companies together then?" Nathan suggested making Eunji to be silent.

"Let me think about that first." Eunji said.

A merger was not a bad idea. It could be beneficial for both of them and their businesses.

She kind of like the idea though. That way, they would be working on the same company building and going to the office together.

"Okay?" Nathan respected Eunji's decision and he was willing to wait for it.

At the end of the day, all of their businesses, their legacies, would be passed down to their children.

And it was up to them if they wanted to be a part of it or if they wanted to create their own path separate from their parents or just to prove themselves.

"So, what's next, my love?" Nathan asked as he tried to change the topic.

"For now, I want this role playing to be successful. And for that to happen, make sure that your people won't give it away." Eunji said especially when some of Nathan's men had already seen her in that disguise and they could recognize her.

"Alright, I'll make sure that they'll know what to do about this." Nathan promised to control his people and want them to be silent.

"What else?" He asked her again.

"Well, to make our divorce really believable for them (their enemies), I want to date another guy. And you should also date another woman." She said so casually.

"Are you serious?" Nathan asked her in disbelief.

"Yes, well of course I'm not!" Eunji said making Nathan to heave a sigh of relief.

"Oh goodness. Please don't make such joke like that. I can't take that kind of joke, My Love."

Eunji only chuckled but deep inside, she was dead serious.

After all, it's not like they would be dating other person other than themselves. The only catch was that each of them would change their appearance.

It would be a fun thing to do.

***

The news of Eunji and Nathan's divorce had also reached Francais' camp.

"Oh, wow. Did they really do that?" He asked Frederick since it was the latter's people who had brought the news.

The two were talking on the living room.

"Yes, I was even able to get a copy of their divorced paper." Frederick answered.

"Then, we don't have to make any excuse to make you and Ana's marriage possible."

"Why don't we just use Ana's real name when in fact, there're are two of them?"

"Are you dumb? Anastasia was nothing. She didn't have the wealth that Evelina possessed. That woman was the founder of ELEK Group."

"What?" Frederick was speechless when he heard about this.

Frederick already had this motive towards the owner of ELEK Group and knowing that it was Eunji who owned it really surprised him.

"How did you know about this?" Frederick asked in curiosity.

"I have my own ways." Francais flashed a devilish grin to Frederick.

What Francais was talking about was that incident in the bar where in he had posed as Jonathan Roland and accompanied Ana in meeting Jin Jie who had spilled about this secret to them.

After he had learned about this information, his desire to kill Eunji had increased.

He wanted to take over her business empire by his own means and he would be using Frederick and Ana for that.

After all, Francais already had an idea of what kind of person Frederick was.

As for Frederick, he felt that he was the luckiest man in the world.

It seems like the stars had aligned for him to be the most successful man in the world.

He felt like he was invisible and the gap between him and Nathan had become wider and he was taking the lead.

"Now, we have to kill Evelina and then steal her identity so Ana could take over what she had owned."

"Fools. Do you really think that you could kill her easily? After all, she had undergone the same training that I did." Ana came in to the room to interrupt them.

"That's why we had assigned the job to you, Asia." Francais could already tell between the two.

"Nah, go and find another person to do the job. Fighting with her is boring." Asia said before she had decided to leave the room.

"Why? Are you afraid that she's much stronger than you?" Frederick taunted her.

Asia chuckled before she responded. "I'm not afraid of her. I can defeat her. However, I want a challenging opponent this time. And besides, I don't have any hard feelings towards Evelina." Asia said making Francais to curse.

"I see that you're still having a hard time controlling her alter." Frederick said after Asia was gone.

"Unfortunately yes. Dr. Albert had advised to not do the same procedure with her alter as it might cause Ana's death. And who knows how many alters were inside her head."

Dr. Albert had found out that the procedure had made Ana's body to be weaker that's why Asia got out and had taken over Ana's body.

And because of that, Francais had to bear with Asia for the meantime.

They had to wait for Ana's body to recover and become strong again and then start trying to suppress Asia and then bring back Ana again so they could start their plan.

They were just glad that Asia had decided to stay on their side. Something must have kept her interested.

However, it was hard for them to read what's on her mind.

Asia went back to her room after she got a bottle of water from the kitchen.

She smiled mysteriously when the thought of killing Eunji entered her head.

"She's still not strong enough to kill me." She uttered.

"Unless she would lose someone special.." She continued.
