Chapter 14

Penulis: Meeny Miny
“Miss Watts, the place is sitting empty anyway. It won’t take long to stop by and have a look. If you like it, I can try negotiating with the owner personally and make sure you get a good deal,” the realtor continued enthusiastically.

Since none of the other places had impressed her anyway, Medea figured there was no harm in taking a look and nodded in agreement.

The villa at Bellmont Manor turned out to be far better than she expected.

It was not decorated in an overly luxurious style.

  • After Divorce, I Married Into the Most Powerful Family   Chapter 30

    Sharon lifted the shopping bags in her hand and spoke with practiced thoughtfulness.“I ran into Miss Watts at the mall yesterday. She looked like she really wanted to buy some clothes, but in the end…” She hesitated meaningfully. “I guess having her cards frozen must’ve upset her quite a bit.”She let out a soft sigh before looking at Gordon with sincere eyes.“Anyway, I bought so many new clothes yesterday that I won’t even be able to wear all of them. I thought I could pick out a couple pieces she might like and bring them to her as a gesture of goodwill. “And maybe while I’m there, I can help talk to her too. She shouldn’t keep fighting with you over this.”As Gordon listened, an indescribable discomfort settled in his chest.Sharon just spent over three hundred thousand dollars using his card, and now she wanted to take those very purchases to Medea as some kind of peace offering.But after thinking about it more carefully, he could not entirely deny that she had a point.After

    Medea understood Gordon’s personality far too well.Although he now held absolute power within Begum Corporation, every bit of it had been clawed out through a brutal internal power struggle within the Begum family.Precisely because it had been so hard-won, Gordon always maintained a restrained and disciplined lifestyle. He was nothing like those reckless rich heirs who casually burned through money without a second thought.And yet Sharon just spent three hundred thousand dollars in a single swipe.Even if Gordon himself could tolerate it, the notoriously critical relatives within the Begum family would never let something like that slide quietly.At that moment, inside Begum Corporation’s conference room, Gordon had just finished an important meeting regarding internal anti-corruption measures.With the economic climate worsening lately, the company had been strongly promoting modesty and financial restraint across all departments, strictly discouraging extravagance and wasteful be

    Inside the womenswear boutique on the second floor, Medea stood near the new arrivals display, casually holding an expensive dress against herself as she looked it over.The sales associate clearly recognized her and immediately greeted her with a bright smile.“Mrs. Begum! You look wonderful today. We just received several new collections recently, and they’d suit your style perfectly. Would you like me to take you to the VIP lounge so you can try them on comfortably?”Medea was just about to agree when Sharon’s mocking voice drifted over from behind her.“Miss Watts, didn’t Gordon freeze all your bank cards? How are you still in the mood to shop for clothes? Don’t tell me despite being broke, you’re still trying to keep up appearances?”Her voice was deliberately loud enough for everyone nearby to hear clearly.Medea turned around slowly, a mysterious smile curving her lips.“I have my own ways of handling things.”Her gaze swept dismissively over Sharon as though evaluating somethin

    After leaving the flower market, Medea stopped by a large shopping center nearby.She had once fallen in love with a storefront there that faced the main street and planned to rent it once her finances stabilized, turning it into a proper couture boutique.But now, with her bank accounts frozen and the new studio only recently relocated, she simply could not afford that kind of luxury anymore.Besides, this was one of the busiest downtown districts in Kingsford, and storefronts there were always in high demand.Still holding onto a sliver of hope, she went to take a look anyway.Sure enough, the storefront had already been boarded up for renovations, the sound of construction echoing noisily from inside.Someone else had rented it before she could.Medea stood outside for a moment and let out a quiet sigh, unable to hide the disappointment in her heart.It seemed opening a physical boutique would have to be postponed yet again.She turned to leave, only to spot Sharon inside the mall.

    Sharon had actually gone into her bedroom and secretly tried on her clothes?Medea felt instantly sick to her stomach.Rage surged straight to her head.For a split second, she nearly shoved the photo directly into Gordon’s face and demanded to know if this was truly the pitiful mother and daughter he insisted on protecting, and if this was what he called “fulfilling a dead friend’s responsibility.”But just as her finger was about to take a screenshot, Sharon abruptly unsent the photo.Medea stared at her phone and suddenly calmed down.Sharon really was clever.She clearly calculated that Medea would impulsively run to Gordon to confront him.But without evidence, what would she even gain from doing that now?Not only would Gordon refuse to blame Sharon, he would probably turn around and accuse Medea of overreacting and being petty and intolerant instead.He might even think she was deliberately causing trouble over the frozen bank accounts.A suffocating heaviness filled Medea’s che

    But the person wearing the apron was Sharon.And beside her, Annie busied herself washing vegetables at the counter.Lately, Sharon had practically taken over all the cooking, insisting she wanted to do something to repay Gordon for helping them.Yet at that moment, Gordon was suddenly struck by the unsettling illusion that every trace Medea once left behind in this house was slowly being erased.Not long after, Sharon carried the final dish to the table and gently told Annie to call Gordon over for dinner.Then she naturally sat down in the seat that always belonged exclusively to Medea.Distracted, Gordon walked toward the dining table. His gaze swept casually across the room before abruptly stopping on Sharon.She was wearing one of Medea’s silk blouses.Gordon’s brows instantly tightened, and his voice turned cold.“Sharon, why are you wearing Medea’s clothes?”Sharon looked visibly startled and quickly took half a step back, immediately slipping into a pitiful act.“I’m sorry, Go
