Chapter: Chapter 183. First Visit To Jovanka's FamilyThe next day, Leona invited Dona to accompany her to meet Jovanka's family.Leona wore a more formal light blue dress with her hair in a bun.The jewelry she chose was very elegant.Dona couldn't help but admire her, "Leona, you're very suitable to wear such an elegant outfit, it's beautiful! The design of this dress is so good, if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't know you were pregnant."Leona smiled and replied, "Yes, I like this skirt too."Dona took the initiative to wear Leona's bracelet.A small bracelet, not very eye-catching, but this simple little look was very pretty.Xavier called, "Have you had breakfast? I'll be waiting at the door."Dona made a face as if it was true and said, "No wonder others say that most women who meet Xavier fall in love with him. Such a warm and caring man, you can't even think of not liking him!""Alright, we'll be right out." Leona didn't listen to what Dona said and hung up the phone quickly, saying to Dona, "You! If you like him, he's your

Chapter: Chapter 182. Jovanka's Family Invites LeonaAfter accompanying her mother shopping and driving her home, Leona sat on the sofa and wanted to take a nap.The phone rang softly.Leona looked at it and it was Xavier.Leona picked up the phone, "Hello?"Xavier's voice was heard on the phone, "Leona, I'm really sorry! Jovanka's family would like to invite you to be their guest, what do you think?"To be the guest of the Jovanka family?Leona was stunned.Isn't that too serious?Leona hesitated a little.Then Xavier said on the phone, "You don't need to make up your mind now. There will be a party for three days here. So you can take some time to think about it."After hanging up the phone, there was no drowsiness at all.Leona was a little confused about what Jovanka's family meant.After hanging up from Leona, Xavier immediately called Jovanka's family.Knowing that Leona did not accept the invitation from Jovanka's family, Jovanka's father and mother became worried and immediately looked for an excuse to go home to discuss the cou

Chapter: Chapter 181. Take Mom Shopping"Mother, didn't I tell you? I don't care who I am at all. It's enough that I only have you as my mother! Ever since I was little, you worked hard to raise me by yourself, I don't need anyone else to protect me, I just want my mother to be happy." Leona interrupted Rose's words and said, "After all these years, ordinary days come and go, there's nothing wrong with that! I'm very happy."Rose smiled bitterly, "Actually, I found you that night, abandoned on the grass by the roadside with a bloodstained placenta, obviously just born. But that little blanket wrapped around you that I've always kept, maybe it's the proof you need to find your family!"Leona's body trembled.Sensing Leona's resistance, Rose stopped and said nothing. "Alright, I won't say anything if you don't want to hear it. I'm sorry I lied to you because I was afraid of losing you."Leona didn't answer, she lowered her head and closed her eyes.No matter what her true identity was, she also didn't want to know who her bio

Chapter: Chapter 180. Rose Reveals The Truth"Find some people to serve her." Archie's slender fingers crossed over the gun in his hand, "Tell those bums that if they stay inside this place for more than ten minutes, give them ten thousand dollars."Hearing Archie's words, another group of bums rushed towards Rick's body.As for Rick and the small group of gangsters that Oriana found, they had long since been subdued and were kneeling on the side waiting to be disposed of.Rose was also saved.Archie frowned slightly, "Send her to the hospital for examination."Worried about Leona, Rose nodded at Archie and left immediately.At that moment, someone stood carefully in front of Archie.Owen explained in a low voice, "He's the one who secretly changed Miss's drink."The corner of Archie's mouth slowly raised as the gun in his hand pointed at the person's chest.The person was so frightened that he immediately knelt in front of Archie, trembling and shouting, "I did what you said! Please forgive me! I didn't know that the person Ric

Chapter: Chapter 179. Help Comes From The SkyAs soon as Rose heard that Leona wanted to exchange her for her, she shook her head desperately, "Leona, don't! Leona, you can't do that for me! Leona, you're actually..."Rose said a sentence that implied a secret.But right now no one was interested in hearing this secret from her.Rose's words were immediately cut off by Oriana. "Enough! I'm tired of seeing mother and daughter love! Leona, neither you nor your mother will leave here today!"Of course Leona couldn't leave.Because she and Rick had been sedated.After the drug took effect, Rick would sleep with Leona.At that time Oriana would take a picture of her...Hahaha...Leona, you made me do this!Wait, why does my whole body feel hot...The face of Rick, who was standing beside her, suddenly changed drastically as well!He immediately turned his head and subconsciously looked at Oriana."You... drugged her?" Rick stared at Oriana in disbelief.Leona was instantly taken aback by the two people's change in attitude and immedia

The Ex-Wife You Tossed, Now a Billionaire’s Queen
For three years, Evelyn Sinclair was the perfect wife to Lucas Callahan.
Loyal, smart, and always there, she stood by him through everything.
But there was always one whisper that lingered: they still didn’t have a child.
Then came the betrayal. Lucas cheated.
No tears. No screaming. Evelyn just left. She filed for divorce and disappeared from the public eye.
Now, she’s back. Classier. Stronger. Untouchable.
And right next to her? Sebastian Reed, the most sought-after young billionaire in Boston, is chasing her now.
In front of the media, Sebastian smiled and casually dropped a bombshell:
“The moment I saw Evelyn, I knew, I’d be the happiest man alive if she were my wife.”
The whole city went silent.
Lucas begged her to come back.
And Evelyn? She just smiled.
The real game had only just begun.

Chapter: Chapter 114. Here, We Finally Came HomeThe car left the outskirts of Boston and headed toward a quiet residential area outside the city. Sebastian had prepared this moment for a long time, wanting to tell Evelyn that they weren’t strangers who’d just met, but two people whose lives had crossed long ago, as if fate had tied them together since childhood.When the car stopped by the side of the road, they stepped out. Rows of old villas lined the hills, each one built far from the next. Only old estates ever had that much land to spare; nothing new was built like this anymore.“Where are we?” Evelyn asked, confused as she looked around.“You don’t remember?” Sebastian pointed at a white villa in front of them. “That one.”Evelyn froze. Her gaze locked on the building, and slowly, something flickered in the back of her mind. It felt strangely familiar.“I used to live here when I was little.”“How old were you?”“Five or six, maybe. I don’t remember much, but yeah… I think I lived here.”“Right.” Sebastian pointed to a small

Chapter: Chapter 113. The Answer She’s Been Waiting ForLack of evidence. Evelyn stared at her phone screen in disbelief. Her voice sharpened as she asked if the direct transfers between Camilla Summers and the men who attacked Liam weren’t enough to prove a transaction. Liam’s injuries were far from minor. That should’ve been more than enough to put someone behind bars.Officer Raymond hesitated before admitting that wasn’t the issue. He sounded nervous. He advised Evelyn to drop the case because it wouldn’t end well. When she asked if Camilla Summers had been released, Raymond confirmed it. There was a pause before he admitted someone had interfered. Evelyn immediately guessed the Reed family, but all Raymond could do was apologize.That apology meant two things. First, a case with clear evidence couldn’t move forward. Second, even Raymond didn’t have the power to resist pressure from above, let alone tell her who had stepped in.Evelyn hung up, and her expression slowly hardened. Anger rose inside her, thick and cold like morning fog.A

Chapter: Chapter 112. The Night He Didn’t Show UpDelilah shook her head slowly.“This is insane. They have that much power? Enough to bury a case like that and protect their own family on top of it?”Evelyn closed the file in front of her.“For a charge that serious, the police wouldn’t just release someone for fun. I checked. The Summers family doesn’t have any real connections in Boston. They only came back to the country recently.”Delilah let out a relieved sigh.“Good. Then I can go home.”“Yeah. Drive safe.”Once Delilah left, Evelyn opened her laptop again and tried to get back to work. But her focus was gone. Her eyes moved across the screen, but her mind didn’t follow.By the time the workday was almost over, her phone rang. Sebastian’s name appeared.“I’ve been thinking about Spanish food tonight. Want it?”“That sounds interesting. Where?”“I’ll text you the address. I still have a meeting. Should be done by seven. So let’s meet there.”“Okay.”As soon as the call ended, the location came through. Evelyn stared at the scr

Chapter: Chapter 111. The Call That Changed EverythingSebastian sat beside Evelyn on the couch, gently holding her hand while he applied ointment to the small burn on her skin.Evelyn lowered her head, cheeks flushed.“I just wanted to try making breakfast. I saw a video online, it looked easy, so… I tried.”Sebastian lifted a brow, his eyes drifting toward the blackened, unrecognizable thing sitting on the table.“That?” His tone was flat. “What is that supposed to be?”“Egg toast,” Evelyn muttered. Even she didn’t sound convinced.Sebastian exhaled.“Never in my life did I think cooking required… a natural gift.”“It’s not about talent.” He finished applying the ointment and looked at her seriously. “But from now on, don’t cook unless I’m home.”Evelyn stared at him, offended.“Why? If you’re not here, I can practice.”“I’m worried no one will be around to save you when you eventually burn the house down.”She went silent.Considering the flames that had practically reached the ceiling earlier, she couldn’t exactly argue.When he finis

Chapter: Chapter 110. A Third Person in This MarriageThere were already plenty of staff in the house, so Evelyn didn’t think Liam needed to help at all. But Sebastian clearly disagreed.“Even so, it still doesn’t feel right.”Evelyn’s tone shifted. Seeing that, Sebastian grew curious.“Why? Your mom said you and Liam were close.”Her face warmed instantly. She held her breath before replying quietly.“Marriage is between two people. I don’t want a third person living with us.”The moment the words left her mouth, Evelyn dropped her gaze and pretended to focus on the vegetables on her plate. She looked too embarrassed to lift her head.A few seconds passed, silent.When she finally looked up, Sebastian was staring at her. Not blinking. Just staring.“What? Why are you looking at me like that?”“I was just thinking… I can’t promise something like that.”Evelyn blinked, confused.“Huh?”“There will always be a third person in our house.”“Who?” she whispered.Sebastian didn’t answer. His gaze shifted downward, toward her stomach.Evelyn in

Chapter: Chapter 109. The Question He Won’t SayBefore they separated, Evelyn and Sebastian had agreed on one thing: they needed time to think clearly. To figure out why they actually wanted to stay together and whether the issues between them were serious enough to end the relationship.Evelyn had already done her part. But had Sebastian?“I didn’t forget. I’ll tell you later.”“If you didn’t forget, why not say it now?”He gave her a lazy side-glance. “Or… you could come with me and get married right now, and I’ll tell you in person.”Evelyn let out a small, forced smile.“Then I guess later is fine.”She had already chosen him. Whatever twisted reason he had for insisting on marriage… maybe it didn’t matter anymore.“So about Camilla. Will that make your grandmother change her mind? Will she cancel the merger with the Summers family?”“Even without Camilla Summers, there’s always Lily Summers, or someone else from that family. Business marriages only care about benefits, not the person. You don’t need to stress about my grandmot
