Despite the fact that Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) is separated because of his own horrific actions, he is determined to save Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy) suffer because she chose to free herself from him in Emmerdale.
Laurel demanded a parting after discovering that Jai had attacked Amit (Amil Goutam), Pollard had been blackmailed (Chris Chittell), and had conned Suni (Brahmdeo Shannon Ramana) into taking his inheritance.
Some might say this is a fair response, but Jai is anything but honest.
Ever since Laurel dropped the D-word, Jai has been determined to hit her where it hurts: by alienating Archie, making her work life miserable, and causing her heartache for asking for what she's owed.
He was disgusted when Laurel dared to ask to divide their assets, and his scheming mind immediately went to work.
Lauren herself is not crazy and decides to let Jai play on his own turfand approaches Gabby (Rosie Bentham) with a clever idea: he wants to buy Jai's shares in the Hide.
The two manage to pull off this small gesture and reveal all to a stunned Jai, who is less than pleased that his soon-to-be ex-wife has outsmarted him.

He has his new plan in place and is eager to respond to her attempt to deceive him. During mediation, he tells Laurel that he sold Holdgate and Tenants to pay off debts, meaning she gets nothing from this divorce.
It turns out Jai isn't entirely callous when he voices his doubts about this cruel move to Caleb (Will Ash), but he's quickly reassured by his fellow entrepreneur who says he doesn't owe Laurel anything.
He strongly believes that he is right, but isn't Jai himself headed for a huge fall?
