He Lost Me, His Uncle Claimed Me
Anna Whitmore dated Lucas Caldwell, a young heir from New York’s old-money circle, for three years.
When the time was right, she decided to reveal who she truly was and formally proposed a strategic marriage.
On the day she planned to propose,
he made an excuse and walked away.
That same night, he was seen at a nightclub,
arms wrapped around another woman,
openly mocking the idea of marrying someone “without status or value.”
Anna saw his true face and walked away for good.
If marriage in their world had always been a transaction,
then choosing a man with greater power and influence was only fair.
So she married his uncle.
Later, on the day Lucas Caldwell announced his engagement to the daughter her father chose to acknowledge,
he saw her at the banquet.
The so-called “unfavored” Whitmore heiress.
His former girlfriend.
She stood beside his uncle under the spotlight, smiling—
calm, radiant, untouchable.
The man next to her was the one who truly controlled New York’s upper circle,
a level of power Lucas Caldwell would never reach.
His uncle spoke lightly, and the entire room fell silent.
“She is my wife.”

Chapter: 247: Let’s Go HomeLorenzo lifted his hand and gently stroked her cheek. “Wife, I’m always on your side. I’ll help you. Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you. As long as you don’t leave me, I’d give you my life if I had to.”Looking at Lorenzo so close, Anna suddenly felt life wasn’t so bad after all. Meeting him felt like all her past misfortunes had been leading up to this—everything lost was worth it for what she had now. He was her salvation, the only light in her world for so many years.As her emotions gradually settled, Lorenzo spoke. “Feeling better now?”“Much better.”&

Chapter: 246: I’ll Ruin the Whitmore FamilyAnna sprinted across the courtyard. The café’s tropical-themed décor was full of lush plants, but the yard was quiet—not a soul in sight.The door loomed ahead. She inhaled deeply and threw it open.Who was behind all of this?The room was empty—no one, not even Olive.“Boss, they got away!”“I left someone at the door. They might run, but they won’t escape. Call the security team—whoever it is, stop them!”“Yes.”

I know her body better than anyone—she was so young. Falling from the height of the villa wouldn’t have killed her. You botched the rescue… or did you take the opportunity to kill her? Was it you?”At the word *kill*, Olive trembled violently. Her neck grazed the dagger, and a trickle of blood ran down, but Anna didn’t flinch. Instead, she pressed on.“No! It’s not like that! I didn’t kill anyone!”Her expression was so tense that Anna was certain this woman was involved.

Anna blinked and focused.Lorenzo was staring at her intently. “What’s got you thinking so seriously?”“Sorry… I was thinking about the attending physician. She arrives tomorrow. I’ve arranged for someone to intercept her the moment she lands. What’s wrong?”Lorenzo held a tablet, the screen displaying several cocktail dresses. “These are all

Anna felt less like she was working and more like she was on vacation.Before leaving the office, she received an anonymous text:[Arrived safely.

Xandra met Valerie four times: once shopping at a mall, once at your home, once privately, and the last time at Mr. Hamilton’s engagement party. We only caught two of their meetings on surveillance entering a café—we don’t know what they discussed.”He handed Randall the footage. Watching Xandra pick gifts, she was not only snatched at by Valerie but even shoved around. Without Anna and Laura present, who knows what else Valerie might have done?

She’s lovely.”“Yes. This is Vanessa,” Magnus replied, smiling.“Thank you, Your Majesty,” Vanessa said politely. She already knew who Kelly was—the biological mother of Caitlin and the future Queen of Asteria.“Come,” Leif VI said, offering his arm to Kelly. “I want to show you around.”They entered the palace together, followed by everyone else.As they walked through the gilded corridors, Kelly quietly took in every detail of the royal resi

Men fell to their knees, pleading for mercy.“Your Majesty, forgive us!”“We were forced! Please, have mercy!”“Your Majesty, I’m innocent!”Leif VI’s expression did not soften. “Take them all away. The courts will determine who is innocent and who is guilty.”He would not wrong a single good man, nor spare a single traitor. Every name on that list had been verified through years of quiet investigation.Once the arre

Leif VI continued, “In the name of the crown, I hereby formally declare the removal…”He spoke slowly, pausing on each word, lending weight and severity to the moment.Many members were taken aback. Why announce a removal at once, rather than first call for a vote?They were braced to hear of the Queen’s abolition. No one expected the words that followed.“…the removal of Maxwell from both his posts as Chair of the Army Commission and Minister of Justice.”Silence crashed over the hall. It felt as if the air congealed and time stopped. People blinked and checked their own hearing

His arrival couldn’t have come at a worse time.The officers around him stiffened, exchanging uneasy glances. Meanwhile, Caitlin and Magnus felt a surge of relief. If their father was here, Maxwell would no longer have the upper hand.“My father’s here,” Caitlin said coldly. “You’d better let go of me.”Magnus tore free of his captors and stepped forward to greet Leif VI as the royal convoy approached.

Maxwell’s expression darkened. “Your Highness, that area is off-limits. The lab contains highly contagious viruses and toxins. It’s too dangerous for you.”The laboratory entrance was marked with warning signs: Restricted Area, Authorized Personnel Only. His words sounded considerate, but everyone could hear the tension behind them.

Billionaire’s Mistake: Claiming the Wrong Bride
If you enjoyed Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her, I'd love to invite you to read my latest novel, Billionaire's Mistake: Claiming the Wrong Bride. I hope you'll fall in love with this new story just as much.
In Ardenia’s shipping world, everyone knows Calder Rook. After losing his wife, the powerful shipping tycoon remained single for twenty years and was never seen with another woman.
Then Nola Avery entered his life.
Nola was supposed to marry Calder’s second son, but on the wedding night, she and her sister entered the wrong rooms. By morning, Nola had slept with Calder, while her sister had ended up with the groom.
Rumors soon claimed that Nola had seduced Calder on purpose and forced her way into the Rook family. His admirers mocked her, certain that a young outsider like her would never survive among the cold patriarch and his difficult children.
They were wrong.
Nola turned the Rook mansion upside down. She challenged Calder, dealt with the Rook children one by one, and somehow won over the entire family. Calder, the untouchable man no woman could approach, began spoiling her beyond reason.
Three months later, photos showed Nola leaving the Rook mansion in tears.
The haters celebrated, convinced she had finally been thrown out.
Then another report appeared. Calder had abandoned a multibillion dollar project to chase after his wife.
“Baby, come home.”
His father joined in.
“Come back, my daughter in law. I will buy you ten yachts.”
The Rook children quickly followed.
“Don’t leave us, Nola. We’ll listen to you from now on.”

For an ordinary family, anything above ten thousand was already considered expensive.And Nola’s family had gone bankrupt.How could she possibly own a violin worth two million?The rest of the class was just as startled.

Chapter: 104: He Avenged HerConsidering her timid personality and frail health, Nicholas dismissed the thought.If something happened to her after all this, he would truly become a monster.On the other side.Evelyn felt a searing gaze fix on her. She slowly turned her head, meeting the man’s gaze from up close.Before she could speak, Nicholas stood up.As he got up, he effortlessly lifted her too, setting her down gently. "I’m going to take a shower.""Okay..." Evelyn nodded, catching sight of the white porcelain bowl on the table. "You haven’t finished your soup.""Drink it after I’m done," he said before leaving the study.The large room instantly became quiet.Evelyn glanced at the direction he left, then back at the bowl, intending to take it downstairs to keep warm. She reached out, her fingertips brushing the edge of the bowl—but then she froze.A document caught her eye.White paper, black print.The bolded text at the top stood out clearly: "XXX Gold Mine Bid Proposal."This Friday night, New York woul

She understood he was standing up for her, repaying Bonnie’s actions in kind.But when it came to #Bonnie’s disappearance at Golden Dice Resort#, Evelyn hadn’t connected the dots to Nicholas.As Vance had said earlier, back in early January, Nicholas had already taken care of Bonnie in a minor way, locking her in the costume rental shop. Afterward, The Craig family had shown their utmost sincerity, punishing Bonnie for a week.Most people would have let it go by now. Even if they didn’t show respect for the younger generation, they would still respect the elders in the Craig family.Evelyn stood at the door, her thoughts wandering.

Satisfied, he led her away from the group of kids gathered in the rest area.The ski area covered one-third of the resort's land. The icy snow, the sound of chatter, and the busy atmosphere filled the air.Nicholas accepted a wool hat from the staff and stood in front of Evelyn, carefully placing it on her head, making sure to tuck her small ears inside. "The most important thing in a snow area is staying warm."Whether in natural snowfields or artificial ski resorts, there are frostbite incidents every year.Evelyn obediently stood still, letting him adjust her hat. She sniffed, her nose red from the cold, and looked up at him. "I was wearing it, but when the snowflakes hit me, I took it off after I got wet."Nicholas continued to adjust her hat, making sure to secure it tightly, so she wouldn’t get too cold. He l

Now Patricia had sent the uncensored version, and he had even read a page of it.There was no difference between this and relieving yourself in the middle of the street.“Do you want to forward the file from my phone to yours, or would you rather finish reading it on my phone and give it back to me afterward?” Nicholas asked again.Evelyn fell silent.Before she could answer, the man sitting on the bed put down the magazine in his hand, lifted the covers, and stood up.He slipped into his slippers and walked out of the bedroom. “I’m going downstairs to get a glass of water. I’ll bring you a cup of warm milk while I’m at it.”Evelyn did not lift her head.She gave a soft acknowledgment, so quiet it was barely louder than a mosquito.
