• Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right   Chapter 1924

  The day Annette died, she lay alone in bed, her wrists covered in cuts.It was her first suicide attempt.She couldn't find the artery. Each cut was deep but missed the mark.I stared at those bone-deep wounds, then at her pale face.She smiled at me. "Michael, I'm leaving. From now on, your dad only has you. You can't leave him. Take care of him for me. You're the one he loves most."That was the last time I cried my heart out.She killed herself to stop Enoch from pursuing the Osborne family's century-long mission.They exploited human nature to achieve their selfish, grandiose plans. It was a horrific project that threatened humanity.But her death didn't wake Enoch's conscience. It drove him into madness.When he first took over the Illuminati, he only wanted to make Osborne great and prove himself after years of weakness.Leading the Illuminati was his chance to openly marry Annette. But her suicide shattered his hopes.That night, both Enoch and I cried for hours.I n

  The further I walked, the clearer I saw who I was.I was Enoch's love child and a shameful existence.Annette died amid gossip and slander, dashing all my hope for a legitimate identity. All I could do was numbly push forward, fulfilling Enoch's dreams.That seemed like my life's goal.Debra made me look at myself, but I only wanted to be Enoch's son.In moments Debra didn't notice, I often watched her. She was like a butterfly breaking free from a cocoon. She'd struggled inside it for so long.I cared about her. I didn't want to lose her.In a sense, she was another version of me who walked toward light, while I had to choose darkness.The Illuminati's daily work was simple. For me, it was second nature.By day, I was her close friend, a famous star. By night, I was an executioner in the shadows.I watched big-shot businessmen who'd crossed Debra's kneel before me.My white performance outfit was spotless. But the dirty blood on those businessmen's hands stained it and my s

  "What do you want?" I asked."If I said I'm here to make you a star, would you believe me?" Debra replied.She tore up my old contract and offered better terms. Her eyes were full of determination and sincerity.I'd seen a lot of eyes, but none like hers.My plan to leave Frazier Entertainment was already set. One call, and everything would be ready.Her offer made me hesitate. It was generous enough, and the whole thing seemed interesting.After some thought, I gave her my answer. "Alright, I'm in."She seemed relieved.After Debra left, another agency invited me to join them. I turned them down, curious to see how Debra would make me a star.Days passed, and she surprised me.When Sean Chandler got into trouble, the company pushed hard to promote me.The Frazier Entertainment I saw later was different from before. Debra was impressive, easily clearing out those dead weights.It was like she knew what was coming, and I couldn't help but dig into her background.But her hi

  Randy and I were like light and shadow.He didn't even know I existed, but I watched his life every day. We went to the same elementary school, middle school, and high school.Since I was older, we had never crossed paths. I skipped grades fast, while he skipped classes constantly.Since Enoch was a famous entrepreneur and a board member of the schools, the principals didn't dare complain.In the end, Randy coasted to his diploma.I despised that, believing a slacker like him could never amount to anything. But to my shock, he ranked first in his grade. He was even the top scorer in three subjects on the college entrance exam.That made my jealousy burn hotter.He was born with everything, and the Osborne family revolved around him. He had the world's most legitimate claim as Enoch's son and would take over one day.Me? I used to have Annette, but now even she was gone.For a while, I blamed everyone and the whole world. The more hate I felt, the calmer I appeared.Enoch once

  That night, I told Enoch what happened.He didn't come home every day. If it wasn't their anniversary, Annette wouldn't have gone to the market.Enoch was furious. Without telling Annette, he took me back to the market and asked me to point out every man and woman who had bullied us.The market folks lined up in rows, like lambs waiting for slaughter. They kept their heads down and didn't dare to utter a sound.Why? Because they were poor. They had contracts with the market, each carrying huge rent debts.They had no choice but to follow Enoch's orders. In fact, he didn't even need to be there.The market manager gave the commands, and he didn't even have the clout to speak to Enoch directly.I stood there, pointing out the ones who'd hurt Annette.The people who'd been so cocky earlier acted like meek sheep. They groveled before Enoch. "We just heard rumors. We didn't know she was your wife." Their tone was humble, but Enoch didn't even glance at them.Catching his drift,

• Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right   Chapter 1919 Extra Story—Michael Austin

  My birth was a mistake.My mother, Annette Austin, often leaned by the window, waiting for my father's return.Enoch worked long hours, leaving early and coming back late. For a while, they lived like any ordinary couple, calm and quiet.During that time, we were like rats in a dark sewer, hiding in a house that never saw daylight.That house trapped both Annette and me.I clearly remembered the day Annette took me to the market.She wore beautiful dresses Enoch had given her. Back when she was a dancer, her moves were like a butterfly's. Graceful and breathtaking.But at the market, people pointed and whispered about us."That's her. Kept by some rich guy. Got pregnant out of wedlock and had a kid.""She used to dance at a club. Quit after hooking up with a big shot. Look at her, all dolled up, probably out to seduce men."Annette heard the gossip and covered my ears. But I was already old enough to think for myself. I saw how they looked at us, like we were freaks."How mu
